Less than 24 hours to go. Hope the exertions of Thursday night don't cost us here. Would be good to make amends for the 5-0 drubbing at their place last December. COYI

    Scrappy 1-0 to the home side will do.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Fabianski
    Coufal - Zouma - Aguerd - Emerson
    Soucek - Alvarez - Ward-Prowse
    Kudus - Antonio - Paqueta

    Will probably be the side.

    It's such a tough call with the very limited resources we have available. Bowen is likely out (although Moyes didn't say it was definite), Antonio played 90 mins on Thursday and we definitely need him this coming Thursday if we're to have any chance especially given we'll be without Paqueta.

    It's a game where we should want to be on the front foot, but I fear the season is taking its toll on a few players; Kudus for one has definitely looked a little off the pace in the last few games. If we feel we can have more possession than usual then Ings might not be a complete waste, but it's a tough call to try and play without both Antonio and Bowen if we're gonna let them have the majority of the ball.

    We've only kept one clean sheet in the 17 matches since the 0-0 against Brighton on 2nd Jan, and that was at home to Freiburg. Tomorrow would be a great time for another shut out, but, for a team that sets up so defensively, we do concede an awful lot of goals and I never have confidence that we'll manage a clean sheet.

    I fear we may have more chance of European football next season through the league now, so whilst we must give it our all on Thursday we can't rest up people for this as it's a winnable match as we look to get 7th.

    It must be confusing being a Fulham supporter, in the last six games they've beaten Spurs and Brighton, drawn with Sheffield United and lost to Forest, Wolves and Newcastle. Who knows which Fulham will turn up!

    Marco Silva is fairly consistent, plays a 4-2-3-1. Seven players have started the last six games, two players have started five and another players has started four. Willian and Harry Wilson have both started three with Iwobi switching from left to right depending which one of them starts

    So either

    Leno
    Castagne Adarabioyo Bassey Robinson
    Palhinha Lukic
    IIwobi Pereira Willian
    Muniz

    Or

    Leno
    Castagne Adarabioyo Bassey Robinson
    Palhinha Lukic
    Wilson Pereira IIwobi
    Muniz

    Looks like a 4-4-2 hybrid, with Soucek & Zouma rested.

    Fabianski
    Coufal - Mavropanos - Aguerd - Emerson
    Alvarez - Ward-Prowse
    Kudus - Ings - Paqueta
    Antonio

    Anang, Ogbonna, Zouma, Johnson, Cresswell, Soucek, Earthy, Cornet, Mubama
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Willian preferred to Wilson

  • LukerzLukerz
    Not sure about the central defence
  • stevesteve
    Well this could be interesting
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I am happy with Ings and Antonio as I think that could be good and certainly worth a try with Bowen out. I do have reservations about Zouma not partnering one of our less capable centre backs but I do recognise if there is one player that can't take too many games close together it is Zouma. In short I can see us being an attacking threat but also vulnerable at the back due to missing Zouma.

    Thank goodness I put the laptop on to do some mindless scrolling.

    I was getting my time zones mixed up and had us down for a 4pm KO!

    Should have read the thread title :anguished:

    Quelle horreur!

    Supermarkets in France can't sell alcohol after 1 on Sundays.

    Tony "Mr Positive" Gale on co-comms for me ๐Ÿ˜ž
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    So close with Coufal, and then a bad miss by Antonio.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Not a bad effort by Kudus from a short corner.
  • mikemike
    Terrible miss by Antonio
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    What was that?
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Oh no
  • stevesteve
    Crazy defending
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bad mistake by Mavropanos.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Ah, that's what it was.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Mavropanos is so bad ๐Ÿ˜‚ is it a mistake every 6 games or so?
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Mavro is looking more and more like a liability
  • stevesteve
    And we started so well
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Shoulda been 2.
  • stevesteve
    Glad I have wine to dull the pain =)
