Teams in. Its the usual. Strongest lineup 💪
Sky start the coverage talking about Lampard for 20 minutes...
Looking forward to this match, won't be easy, but Spurs are rocking a bit I give us a very good chance of a win.

Spitty Carragher and Lefty Neville on the Sky Bench. Absolutely dreadful (with an extra 15 minutes). Switched back to Talking Pictures till ko.
Keep warm out there
is there actually a game on tonight? just watched 10 minutes of analysis of last nights game.
turned the sound off
It's all about Everton. Although I think they mentioned that a win for Spurs puts them back in the running for the champions league.
Are we playing tonight, fed up listening to Sky Monday Night Football, first 40 minutes talking drivel about everything else but Fulham. We will need to win 5-0 to get any mention or credit at the end of the game.
Are we ready.. need to be quick out of the gates tonight. No lapses in concentration
I wonder if Fulham will get a mention with that shower on commentary.
Carragher has got a cheek showing his face to the public imho.
Let's GO!! COYW... 049:gif
Stay warm to all who are there.
What terrible shirts Spurs are wearing...they look like they've been bought at a tatty market stall.
Anytime you're ready...
Good early pressure
Good start
Two fouls and finally a whistle and the warning is given to.... Fulham?
Paulinha booked for a tackle he shouldn't have had to make because Willian was clearly fouled and the ref ignored it....it's going to be one of those games again isn't it?
It doesn't look as though we'll get anything from this ref - apart from his warnings to FFC players not to complain about his ineptitude.
Leno plays the sweeper keeper role so well
Excellent try from Reed.
Fulham have been "almost excellent" for the first 25 minutes, terrific tenacious pressing stuff, quick to the tackle and first to every ball...but just not getting many good clear shots on goal.
I just fear that this very high energy start can't last like this, hope I am wrong (and we get the goal or two we already deserve soon).
agree - be nice to get a reward from all our pressure.
Kenny is getting killed lately...
really need to get a goal or two whilst on top. cos you know what spurs are gonna do the minute they have a few attacks.
Son is dirty player who gets away with everything :031:
Time for our first
I think he lost an eye... :022:
Every time I see that Son challenge I think it's a red. And of course it's Tete on the receiving end of it again!
Son should have got a red
That is one of those somewhere between red and yellow. If he gets a red onfield I don't think VAR overturns it
As GJ says, if that tackle had been done by a FFC player they would be off but Son gets away with it.

Some players, when off form can play like drug addicts looking for that feeling of playing well again. They get desperate.
That definitely should have been a red for Son
Nothing from this ref tonight I'm afraid.
Son should be off. Clear red

Well, he could have given the penalty against Diop
good save by leno
Very sloppy got
That was some scary play from Reem and Tonee.
"all" we have to do now is concentrate - I hope the 2nd half is as good as this half.
should have scored. about time I started biting my nails again.
Clear the ball
Of course....dominate almost the entire first half and then that sucker punch
of course Kane
Aye sure he was always gonna score tonight
All came because Mitro refused to play a 10- yard pass to Willian to carry the ball forward and tried to be cute......ugh
and thats what you get for not capitalising whilst on top. and we were so on top at one stage
Cant see where a goals comin for us tonight
Get Solomon on for BDR at half time. Nothing wrong with BDR today but their left side is rubbish defensively so you've got to get at them
A shame. A massive hill to climb now as they'll play at their pace. Still, we're playing into the home end and all's possible.
The best team by a mile and we are a goal down
When our high press stopped we started dropping off too deep. Was poor from Mitro to not play Willian in, but the goal comes because Reed had chased a ball to the centre circle, got bypassed and they played it into the huge hole he'd left behind him. Even still you cannot let Kane spin and get a clean shot off from that distance.
Oh and Son should have been sent off
As someone pointed out, that's what you get for not scoring when on top. We are playing really well though, keep the faith lads

Bit harsh we had a couple decent chances and dominated for 30minutes.
Solomon could be the difference in unlocking them I reckon. BDR for Manor on 60mins and interchange Willian with Solomon on the wings let's get at em again second half. We deserve at least a point so far.
Tough having Palhinha on a yellow in this game though
I still think we can come back and win this
Spurs sit deep when they go 1-0 up so we're going to have more of the ball this half I reckon, got to get one early
Predictable really having dominated for a good 20 minutes or so.

Not Harrisons fault at all watching the replay now- chased down well and then was back in position quickly
Really ya gotta just tip ya hat to Kane...its a great goal from him

:plus one:
Joao has got to block that
Why is it that Tete always seems to get hit hard every game
Hoping the words "Dan James" are nowhere near Silva's thoughts right now.
Obvious sub is Cairney around 60-65 minutes. Probably Palhina off as he's on a yellow.
The truth is we are playing well. Just hope we get a quick equalizer.
How on earth are we losing at half time? Disappointing to say the least!
First threat is conceding early in the second half.

Exactly what I said here from Ireland, screaming off that. And not the first time this season, getting boring now but hopefully justice prevails. Far the better team no doubt,COYW
Were they cracking down on players approaching the refs this weekend. Ream is having to push them away.
We are going to get killed on the counter this half
MBappe has 5, can we have just one?
Tete's poorest cross of the night otherwise he has been excellent
Mitro bad again tonight
Great save !
Make sure you leave Kane wide open...
TC now..
Interesting, Tom to come on.
Can't buy a 2nd ball now
Chasing the game now, COME ON FULHAM!
" I would fetch a chicken balti pie for you "
Need someone who can get in behind them
Need to change something here
Could play till next week we cant score
Marco has waited far far too long to make substitutes. Like 15 mins too long. Need a direct runner now to stretch defense
Can't for the life of me understand why we aren't giving the likes of Manor more than 15minutes to make a difference when our attack has stagnated
Frustrated to the say the least
Bang the other striker on, nothing to lose here
chance for mitro there
Maybe Wilson for BDR
Wouldn't even mind Vinicius coming on and lobbing it up to him and Mitro to knock down to each other
Not sure why we aren't giving Harry or Manor a run out. We waited until the 75th minute to have a touch in their box!
Absolutely nothing coming down our right flank this half
Solomon coming on
The right works best when we have the overload with Reed there too. When it goes we kinda need to change things up over there.
If we can get a goal, they might find it hard to change gear. It doesn't look very promising though.
I find it crazy that players are allowed to touch the ref.
Don't think I would have taken off Tete. Rather Bobbie came off.
Just can't beat anyone above us in the table
Did that note read "don't keep possession so manor doesn't get a touch"

Agree he has provided the best crosses all game
Mitro down and no card.
game slowly fizzling out.
might only get one more chance
Mitro injured???
Double change vino and Harry.
Poor substitute management in this game
5 minutes to go we finally decide to make major changes
Could have got a point out of this game or more if we'd gone for it early.
Here's hoping 5mins is enough
Too late with the subs again

Yup its not the first time
Was obvious we were struggling to get in behind would have just had Wilson Manor and cairney on earlier myself
Solomon's looks tidy, why have we not crossed into the box with two strikers on is beyond me
That's that, we did well but this is the difference between us and the top 4.
Manor immediately looks like a player capable of pulling some strings and trying different things.
Want the guy to get some minutes badly
Another frustrating result.

Terrible performance
Manor looks good
Not our day. I just can't stand Spurs, Kane, Son and Højbjerg. Good finish but their just a bunch of dirty lucky bastards.
Another narrow loss to a top 6 team. It sucks, but we're well in every game, and as long as we keep picking up points from below us we'll stay in a good place.
Disappointing. Huffed and puffed but barely laid a glove on Spurs second half. We looked devoid of ideas. Spurs managed the game well to be fair. Onwards to the next.
Didn't turn up second half, in fact I don't think either side did, a bit of a none event
Tottenham came to defend today.. take Kane out of that team and they look average
