he was never going to start, no way near match fit
No Baird?!
Mata on the bench...that's good.
Am glad to see Rodallega start, with no Dejagah & Frei I worry we lack pace
Frei has not started a game all season so makes sense. Think it will be a 451 moving to 433.
I expect it to be the same formation as against Stoke. 4-4-1-1. With either Rodders or Berba up top and the other in the hole. Karagounis on the left again. A waste of his talents.
is there a streams thread?
hope its 4-3-3
Karagounis left Mid? If we were playing table football then fine but we must have the slowest team imaginable!
pretty sure it will be:
Schwarzer
Riether Senderos Hughes Riise
Sidwell Diarra
Duff Karagounis Rodallega
Berbatov

If this is it,hope rodders does well
I am excited about this one. Excited, excited!
wow, what's the average age of this team? Wonder who'll play on the left. Whoever does will be out of position...
The game is on :clap_hands: :clap_hands: :clap_hands: :clap_hands: :clap_hands:
how's it going? Got offered a ticket tonight, but wouldn't of been able to make it to Fulham Broadway for kick off :x

Not much, chelsea in our half. Defense is holding up
We don't look as if we are going to attack much.
slowest start to any game I have watched. keepers can have a cup of tea cos the outfield payers are doing nothing.
0-0 would be a good point however.
wow on a few occasions Senderos did well!
i am sure there would be people who will tell you he should never have conceded that corner! :D
this is dreadful
Poor Chelscum side. If only we had a fit team and also still Demps and Dembele. Oh well.
Come on Fulham
No point Berbatov being on the pitch if we're gunna twit around in our own half again.
Half our mark nothing on the pitch, apart from the first attempt of Torres. Was a good miss 064.gif
Lets not forget we are playing away and at last years Champions League winners. They are not much more exciting than we are.
COYW!!!
Diarra makes our midfield more relaxed tho
No penetration and no pressure on the ball. Not sure what we are doing.
Riether bolts across the pitch faster than lightning

sitting back and aiming to hit them on the counter. We've lost our last two and not won in a while. A point would be a decent confidence booster.
Torres guy falls over every time the wind blows by... what a shame
Torres is a cheat. Pity, he is talented and doesn't need to act like that.
P.S Greetings FFC Bulgaria. Great meeting you. Did you get the photos ok?

Counter?! With what pace to counter with?
Very inventive butt dive from Torres 064.gif 064.gif
Play the same way against every top club.
Sit back and hope for a draw, zero ambition.

agree but I really didn't fancy geting spanked tonight which was likely to happen if we tried to be more expansive.

hey there, saw them on facebook
btw the Karagounis brothers done great defending so far! :)
We'll have to play further up the pitch and keep the ball better if we want to get something out of this game in the 2nd half.
Bring Dejagah on for Duff and Baird for Kara! Later bring Frei on for Rod or Sidwell (who keeps losing the ball), injuries allowing of course!
This squad is terrible.
Why Riise couldn't brake his ducks damn

Utter dross
oUCH !! a bit harsh !!
I knowww. But the quality just isn't there. Karagounis just runs around but can't spot a pass. Sidwell gets the ball turns round and passes it back. Duffs doing nothing on the wing. Rodellega is working hard but doing nothing. It just reaks of average.
On a different note, fair play to our defence so far. Good showing.
we've given away a hundred stupid fouls tonight
Mata will be on soon,, maybe Dejaga for us....?
so is the answer Dejagah for Duff or Frei for Rodallega or both? :D
well done Diarra hope u are 90 minutes fit soon!
Joke substitution...
Must be saving him for weekend...

Baird for Diarra according to MJ
Quote from: FFCfan on November 28, 2012, 09:05:22 PM
Baird for Diarra according to MJ
that's obviously not tactical i think its more that Diarra ran off steam
Pass me the defibrilator. Senderos is giving me a heart attack
Its time Kara to be replaced
get kara off.
terrible mistake by Karagounis there
we need a new attacking option on the pitch
Chuck Frei in behind Berba
That should have been red for Luiz
Surely Luiz HAS to walk for that?
woohoooo Frei
COME ON YOU FREIIIIIIIIIII
COME ON YOU FREIIIIIIIIIIIII :D
Cmon Kerim!
OH! What a great stop cech.
nice to have some creativity on th pitch
who did Frei come on for??? (Duff?)
I know its crazy but I cant watch games on tv/feed against them...if we lose I just erase it completely.

he looked knackered coming off
Frei FFS! Get past three men then dive! Just shoot. So frustrating.
Can't help thinking we should have knicked this if we really wanted a go at them. Frustrating.
Sidwell by far MotM for us
Nothing I'm seeing from Karagounis this campaign is showing that he contributes anything at all to the current team effort.
whats on clock
damnit Frei pass the ball
what a second half.....all you guys who knock sidwell.....he has been fantastic tonight Fulham by far the better team :scarf:
WHY IS BERBA TAKING IT TO THE CORNER THERE!?
OK that will do. Well done Fulham.
But WHAT a good point lads!
Earned that point.
A little toothless in attack, but a draw away to the Scum is good stuff.
Our corner... Possibly the most negative corner ever
Can't believe we didn't go for the win at the end.
Good game. deserved point at the bridge

Surely someone must have told him to do that? Doesn't strike me as one to give up an attacking opportunity to burn the clock if given his preference...
Great point, little bit frustrated with our attacking recently. We're missing Ruiz BIG time.
only we can turn a corner with 60 seconds left into a scoring chance for Chelsea
Boooooooo Boooooooooo shout the Chavs; "Sack the Spaniard, , he's useless".
At least some of them were booing...half of them flounced out well before the final whistle !

Frei FFS! Get past three men then dive! Just shoot. So frustrating.
Did he though? There certainly looked like contact. Maybe he went over easily but that looked like a penalty. Chelsea got away with one there.
What a rare player Frei is, he must stay at the starting 11 and weak Rodallega should go to bench
A very good hard earned point. If Frei had started he would have torn them apart. Well done the lads.
A clean sheeeeeeeet!!!!!
Solid point.
Good result
MOM between Hughes, Reither & Sidwell. Hughes didn´t put a foot or head wrong so he just shades it for me.

Fair enough, and on second look there was a tiny bit of contact. But not nearly enough if you ask me to go down. To go down after a couple of seconds, too.
If that had been given against us I'd have been furious, so I don't think it was a penalty.
After 2 defeats we'd have taken a point and a clean sheet in normal circumstances, however we haven't won in a while and Chelsea didn't looks special. Overall sense of m'eh for some reason. Jol has raised the expectations...
A good point from a poor game. What does Rodallega do to justify his playing time - blackmail the manager?
Sidwell showed up big time tonight, Berba seemed a little off his game, hardly knew Duff was on the pitch. We had so little offensive thrust or imagination, it's fortunate Chelsea were no better despite having pacier attackers. Spurs will see nothing in this match tape to make them fret.

Yes, I assume they were the orders, but there's always a chance to score from a corner. I've not seen a corner turned into wasting time at 0-0 before. At least not for some time.

Grandad he has not had much match time, hopefully on the back of this cameo he will get more time and have an impact on Saturday
Fair play to all of the lads in particular Hughes and Sidwell both had ' stormers' in my opinion
Ill take that, good point for us
A well earned point and a clean sheet at Fulham Broadway. I'll definitely take that!
Oh, and Benitez must stay ... at least until after the return fixture! :scarf:

:plus one: Don't know if we would have won but he is so dynamic. I forgot how fast he is - just a rocket!
Have to agree with comments about Rodallega - nearly screwed the pooch for us a few times.
I'll take the point from the scum...the fans leaving early - now that was priceless! 064.gif 064.gif 064.gif
Well we are out of the top ten... :dft006:
Fulham manager Martin Jol: "It is pretty decent to get a point, but I feel we should l have nicked it in the second half. Our shape was good, they had a lot of pressure but we have three or four good chances - nine times out of ten we would have broken them. John Arne Riise's miss was disappointing. I told him that he should have shot across the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner. He covered 80 or 90 yards and not to score was disappointing. We had a lot of players coming back; Mahamadou Diarra was playing his first game, Gorgios Karagounis was lacking a bit of rhythm, and we leave here thinking we could have nicked it."
The man sums it up very wel. A good performance overall and to come away from Stamford Bridge with the feeling you could of nicked it is nice.
Happy with that, Kerim looked good for the 10 minso or so he was on....

The above is what I stated before half time and stick with it. God knows what some of you have been watching? Sidwell, Kara, Duff, Rodellega were poor tonight! The defence were excellent including Senderos, who most seem to blame for everything! Berba did very well holding the ball and even defending when req. Reither was possibly motm and it was great to see Diarra back who looked good, even though not fully fit. Hughes was solid and Riise was ok. Schwartz looked ok but still cannot kick the ball up the pitch to anywhere near a Fulham player! I was right about Frei.
Well arent you a know it all!!!! Sidwell had a great game tonight possibly the best in a Fulham shirt.......The whole team worked so hard tonight and yes we could have nicked it.
"God knows what some of you have been watching?" BestofBrede asked that above concerning Sidwell's performance tonight.
What a brilliant insight into the loneliness of a viewpoint when the Man of the Match survey and the vast majority of comments on this board saw Sidwell in a completely different light.
One has to admire the view that the rest of the world is blind and only one person sees everything clearly.
