Fulham (H) build up

[Deutsch Wolf]

That stat's not right, no.

Our record since the restart (all competitions) is:

WWWLLWDWLWLWLLL

P15 W7 D1 L7

One of the losses being in the League Cup and who honestly cares about that.

The league record is P12 W6 D1 L5.

But other than that, you love my suggested side & everything else I wrote. Yes?

no, and I'm unsure as to the exact issue here, but it does appear that he has had more poor performances at RCB than LCB.

I'm not sure that is true, there is certainly some recency bias involved here.

This time last season he wasn't performing well, and that was at LCB, also upon return from injury he was in superb form contributing massively to the 8 clean sheets in 12 games, that was at RCB.

I don't think moving him to LCB will instantly solve his form, him getting used to and forming a partnership with Semedo might though.

Marcal in for Vinagre if he’s fit, Podence in for Traore if he’s fit, Donck in for Moutinho. Use Traore as an impact sub which is his most effective role right now. Start like we did against Sheff Utd and we should win comfortably.

Fulham having a great warm up game at Brentford, just our luck they'll turn up looking like Real Madrid against us

We had one bad game, which everyone agreed we were bad, including Nuno.

All of a sudden there are people on here berating our CBs and wanting to replace Saiss and move Boly while bedding in our new RWB, playing a weakened LWB, and replacing our most experienced MF with another newbie. IMO, this way madness lies.

Again IMO, Traore is our 'sudden impact' player and should be used as such in about the 60th minute. IMO we should start with 3-5-2, Pod (Neto if Pod unfit) and Jiminez, up front, Coady, Boly and Saiss the back three, with Neves, Moutino and Dendoncker in the middle. Semedo and Marcal (Vinagre if Marcal unfit) as WBs.

Stabilise the game, get a lead and tweak the team as necessary from the bench. Plenty of time to experiment later on in the season.

Its standard fans behaviour to take apart/panic/worry when a performance like the West Ham one happens. Thankfully Nuno and his team will take a more controlled assessment and reaction

Absolutely i agree.

If you insist, here's a couple

"Remains to be seen if glass coffins become popular"

"I, for one, like Roman numerals"

 

[Norman Deeley]

You know what? I don't think it matters a toss who plays against Fulham.

If we play like we did against Stoke and WHU we'll lose. If we play like we did in the 2nd half against City we'll slaughter them, irrespective of who plays. It's about our attitude, drive, commitment and energy far more than it's about personnel.

It's also a lot about tactics. I will keep banging this drum but as good as he is Nuno does tend to get it tactically wrong by a long way at least once a season that makes him rethink everything.

Usually against absolute shit *

Huddersfield*
Watford H*
Cardiff H*
Brighton in perpetuity*
Arsenal last year
Chelsea Home
West Ham*

Usually we bounce back. Great game to have to bounce back on. In the words of Ru Paul "Dont f**k It Up"

 

[White Wolf]

I assume you mean Cardiff away, Cyber? If you mean the home game from 2017 that's incredibly harsh!

You’re correct sorry

 

[Derby Wolf]

You’re correct sorry

Thats just pure nonsense.

You cant claim they were absolute shit when they finished 2nd ffs.

By all means include Cardiff away the following season which was grim viewing.
