Fulham (H) Post Match Thread

[baitman]

its clear that LFCHistory is just playing his IMO card

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Good results today, Chelsea stole a draw and Everton were held as well. Tomorrow we either effectively stretch our lead with United or get closer to Arsenal.

It would be nice to see Newcastle turn over Spurs as well

Whatever happens tomorrow it will be a good weekend for us

Chelsea
Everton
United/Arsenal

All dropping points and if Newcastle turn up they could cause Tottenham a few problems, personally I'd like to see Arsenal win.

We are 11 games in and are second,I'm ruling nothing out for this team this season until it's obvious our best hope is only a good run at 4th.

So a draw would be nice tomorrow,

Optimism

To be fair Agger played in the Southampton game were conceded a goal.

[spud_gun]

Johnson may well be our most important player.

We proved at the end of last season and the beginning of this that we can win without Luis but when Johnson is out our game seemingly goes to ****.

Next round of games will be really important. Beat the Blue****e and we're suddenly 6 points clear of them. Lots of teams around us also playing each other so we could suddenly put some distance between us and 4th place!

[RichC]

Our next 5 games. If we could pick up 11+ points or so from these 5 games we'll be in pretty good shame coming into the Xmas/New Year games.

23 Nov - 12:45 Everton (A)
01 Dec - 14:05 Hull City (A)
04 Dec - 19:45 Norwich City (H)
07 Dec - 15:00 West Ham United (H)
14 Dec - 16:00 Tottenham Hotspur (A)

Only game there that worries me is spurs as historically we are poor at the Lane.

[wavydavy]

Come January away games vs Chelsea,Arsenal,City & Spurs will all be out of the way.

[Assassin]

2nd place and it is highly unlikely that another team will demote us to third this weekend

ScumArse game.....would prefer a draw

[Sarb]

We win and still only on page 1 of a post match thread

Been out all day. Did we sticl to 3-5-2? If so, I assume Coutinho revelled in it?

[Reece]

More of a 4-2-2-2 really.

[Sarb]

Ah I just saw we went to 4 at the back. Harsh on Sakho but top result that. I see Chelsea drew against one of the easy teams we have played in our easy start to the season

[RichC]

We were excellent today, Fulham were very poor but they were completely outclassed for the entire match.

[Phoenix07]

More of a 4-2-2-2 really.

Suarez was navigating the wider areas more often, and Henderson was in that role between right wing and central midfield. I feared that Rodgers would stick him on the right flank, but thankfully, he didn't.

Johnson giving us width on the right hand side was extraordinary. His ability to move up at the right time and get back was superb.

It was a very savvy system today, based on players using space. If you lined today's team on Football Manager, there wouldn't be a perfect symmetry.
