Not my choice of starting line up. Why Raul over Muniz? Reed and Palhinha seems too conservative against Luton, surely there should be room for TC? And has Iwobi really been doing enough to get another start?

Happy with that line up, I think we could be in for a high scoring game.

Interesting,aka odd, team selection but I guess Marco has good reason for his selection.

But this is Fulham so always expect the unexpected.
As long as we  don't fanny around at the back with slow build ups.
Because Luton will press high and will be aggressive and competitive and will no doubt go toe to toe in our faces.

Interesting lineup, nice to see Traore get a start.  Would have liked Rodak to get the start though.  Tough being a backup keeper on any team with little to no hope of ever playing in a league game. H ope FFC can win this game heading into the off season....

COYW!!

Fulham have a record of 1 win 3 draws and 4 losses during their last 8 games.

Hopefully a win today will vault them ahead in the table over Wolves and Palace.

Next season will be tougher with Leicester City and Leeds (or Southampton) coming back to the Premier League.

Reed had an open shot opportunity and he didn't take it. Should have let her rip, and maybe get a rebound shot.

31 minutes and not a single shot on goal for Fulham against a team that is relegated.

In the second half need to bring in Willian, Pereira and Muniz.

Plain and simple: Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton do not belong in the Premier League.

It also looks like Aston Villa have quit their game versus Palace. They look dreadful now that they have 4th place locked up. Everton hanging tough with Arsenal.
Title: Re: Luton (A) - 19 May
Post by: SerbianLad on May 19, 2024, 04:58:27 PM
Two players I wanted to be subbed off at half time combine to give us the lead before the break!

Despite Harry getting a really nice assist for Adama's goal, I thought he was quite poor,now that he has 2 he should definitely stay on for now. Raul has been very poor imo, but that goal was pure class.

Bassey and Ream once again show why they don't work well together and Reed has been all over the place (and I don't mean it in a good way) which causes our midfield to break down. Such a shame his form dropped so much from last season, as I thought he was one of our top 5-6 performers last season,but this season he's just not been nearly as good.

Adama should have started more games recently, especially when Iwobi was in poor form.

We miss Andreas' pressing and the balance he brings to our midfield. I much prefer Iwobi on the wing.

I hope we'll see Muniz, Andreas and Willian at some point in the second half.
