Knee jerk perhaps, but a change in formation and a new creative midfielder to start in it , please.

I'd like to see kulu moved into the Attacking midfielder position at times.

Perhaps, even perisic. I'm sure he has played this role for Croatia.

Subs: Forster, Sanchez, Royal, Sess, PEH, Skipp, Richarlison

I am still keeping the faith with Sonny, and I also feel Richarlison changes games more from the bench which is a bit void of any attacking threat with Lucas/Gil in limbo

That performance tonight was woeful.. we made a shit Wham team look ok.

Team V Fulham.

I pray for Romero’s name to be on the starting line-up, Bentancur to replace PEH, and Son to find his mojo.

Would love to see us try out a 352 with Bissouma and Deki as the 2 all action CM's with Bentancur or Skipp sitting behind.​

I think the opposite approach would work best - Rest Sonny from the start, let Richy wear out some defenders with his energy, then bring a refreshed Son on at 70 minutes to run a tired defenders. I think that will build more confidence in both Richy and Sonny.

You could be right, I’m more concerned with our lack of attacking options on the bench with no Lucas or Gil, and no replacement. At least we know Richy makes an impact off the bench

Perisic could play further up, if needed.

If possible i would love to see Lenglet, Romero and Doherty/Spence starting. That would be a defense line qualified to play with the ball the way Conte wants. We would probably see a much better performance, even more if Benta comes back into the team. Also, Son is beyond defending now. It’s time to give a chance to Richy.

Kulu Kane James :cautious:

in all seriousness, Richy must get his start ahead of Son. I'd love to see Romero and Lenglet together, their passing on either side could be a difference maker, and lets have a proper RWB to take advantage.

Son and Perisic are incredible options from the bench. Richie deserves a start and Sess against his old club is pretty tempting.
If Doherty isn't ready, I'd like Spence to start with Doherty from the bench. Otherwise, the other way around.
I also really hope we get to see Skipp from the bench.
And Lenglet for Davies in the second half at some point. Fulham could be really tough, so I wouldn't expect changes to the back 3 beyond bringing Romero back.

I love Hojbjerg, but not sure if his ankle was OK. He's those type that plays with pain, he has such strong mental strength. But I feel he should be given a rest on the bench because when he's fatigue, 3 games in 2 weeks after all, no matter how well he seems, his game will suffer abit. And we suffer. Yes, others may disagree, but he's quite influential for us as a team play.

So I hope Skipp will start. Against Fulham, he's more than capable. And we need his drive in the middle so we have the urgency. We can't be too slow and non-chalant in the middle of the park. He rubs off the rest to press, very importantly, and have an eye for those through passes as well.

Ideally I would paid Skipp with Hojbjerg, but for the reasons above for Hojbjerg, and I don't want Bissouma to feel he's benched yet again which will only do his confident level worse, this will be a good match to show his worth. Skipp and Bissouma may have a good balance somewhere IMO.

We need to win with conviction, really. Good or bad, it plays into the minds.

Davinson and Davies need have a spell if we want to be able to hold possession and play thru any sort of a press. Emerson needs a rest, Dier needs a kick up the arse he was owned by Antonio And Mitrovic will do the same if he doesn’t step up.

Midfield needs Bentancur and we need to get Bissouma gametime. Kulu was a shining light against Hammers.

Kane and Ricarlison up front, and for Kane that means getting up front, not dropping into midfield.

Conte needs to use his subs much better, Sess and Spence to come on with speed and energy, Skipp needs to Get some game time.

Agree with that apart from Son.
