Fulham (H) Build up Thread

I hope Kenny sticks to his guns and plays Raul in just behind Torres. Gerrard can start from the bench tonight.

And keep Poulsen on?

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing Meireles back alongside Lucas with licence and confidence to get forward and a well rested Gerrard behind a rejuvenated Torres. Them two on form are enough to beat any team as we already know, but with the added goal threat from Maxi, Kuyt and Meireles, I expect a lot of goals.

I imagine Gerrard can't wait to get back on the pitch after watching how well we played and moved the ball about against Wolves.

And play Poulsen or Spearing instead? Not a good idea imo.

[Rudo]

Be a bit harsh on whoever misses out with Gerrard coming back but i suppose you can't not play Gerrard.

Wouldn't mind seeing Cole start, but i say it'll be the same side that played at Wolves, apart from Gerrard coming in for Poulsen.

Two 0-0's against Fulham in this fixture two seasons on the trot...doesn't bode well. Surprised at the 4 and 5 nil predictions.

Yeah, sad that Poulsen has to sit on the bench.

Line up is Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Maxi, Poulsen, Gerrard, Raul, Kuyt, Torres.

If that's true, really dont see the point in dropping Lucas for Poulsen.

Lucas is better at everything.

Wouldn't say it's sad as such, harsh maybe, but sad? Nah.

No Lucas, odd.

Wouldn't be harsh at all. Poulsen was decent in the first half, anonymous in the second. Gerrard, Meireles and Lucas are all far better and more effective players than Poulsen.

[Drago]

So the speculation will be that Lucas is the big name to leave. Can't see that being the line up tbh. I expect to see Lucas & hope to see Cole for Maxi.

a bit harsh i said... not wrong, not a disgrace. just a bit harsh saying as Poulsen had a very good first half at Wolves.

When was the last time a leaked team was accurate?

Hodgson era.
