FULHAM v. Newcastle

No Diop and probably no John.

Your line ups please...

 

Edwin in goal
bacl line from right back to left back is Volz, Knight, Goma, Rosenior
Midfield = Radz, Claus, Clark, Boa
Up front = McBride and Cole.

If Collins John can go, i want him in there for Cole.

 

And as for Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed??

 

Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

If walked out on the team Saturday as has been reported, he should not be on the field or even on the bench. I want guys on the field who are playing for badge and not themselves. I understand Steed might be a little disappointed, but there is no need to walk out and leave early. There is no excuse for that.

 

Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

Well.... it seems a little odd, but I cant think of any alternatives, except maybe Legwinski for Jensen!

Boca and Pembridge will be on bench, if CJ is not available, then it will be Ehui on the bench as sub-forward

 

RE: Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

Per premierleague.com this morning, it looks like CJ is a go...

 

Re: RE: Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

That is great news! I fully expect Cookie to go with McBride and Collins John tomorrow if that is the case.

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

Just watched the highlights of the Everton game and saw the goals. We HAVE to hold onto McBride and we HAVE to take full advantage of his aerial ability. Boa, Voltz, Steed, Jensen and Rossenior have to provide the kind of crosses that boa produced for the 2nd goal on Saturday.

 

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

McBride has really found his form and is really show some good stuff. I hope we hold on to him, there is not reason why we shouldn't be able to!!

Hi Glen, I just want you to know that I never put tomato in my fruit salad...

 

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

Sounds like a pretty dull match. I hope we can rebound from the Newcastle goal. I was hoping we would come out attacking and ready to go, but it seems like the team is just going through the motions.

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: FULHAM v. Newcastle

Van Der Sar off and Crossley on at Half Time.

VDS took a nice knock in the first half...

 

Down 0-2 after 65 minutes, and playing like zombies.

WTF? After playing some inspired football the last few matches, the boys look about as sharp as a bowling ball today.

 

Down 3-0. Well, I guess I can concentrate on my work now...

 

I trust that Cookie is going to go mental after the game.

 

Sounds like Liam Rosenior is playing a great match. This is according to Gentleman Jim on the airwaves. At least one person showed up today for us.

I will never understand why this team only shows up when their backs are against the wall. They play if that is the case, but when there is little to no pressure on them, they play like crap. Is that managing or is that something else?

 

Oops--this is the headline at the BBC web site:

Fulham 3-1 Newcastle

Don't we wish. However, here is the key sentence in their game report: "Chris Coleman's outfit looked like a side who had packed up for the summer, having already secured their Premiership safety."

Tom is right in saying they only play well when they have to. They are either a great team (Everton last Saturday, even the Chelsea game the week before), but a terrible team other weeks. While I support keeping Coleman (and letting him clear the deadwood), this great-or-terrible trend does give me pause. Maybe if they were not so thin (because of injuries), they could threaten players with a visit to Mr. Bench (not Johnny) .

 

We created more chances in the last 10 minutes than both teams for the entire match...I just don't get it!!
