A win would be amazing, a draw would be hopeful, but I can't stomach another half-hearted, half baked performance.
Raineri has talked the talk this week, but he needs to get the team playing out of their skin and like their lives depend on this result.

I also want Claudio to pick the right team.
No sticking Odoi at RWB...and play Chambers as the box/holding mid.
No starting Cairney on the wing.
Choose between Cairney and Seri to start. Don't start both.
I want AK47 and Sess on the wings...Mitro up top. From the kickoff.
Rico
Odoi Ream MLM
Christie Chambers Seri Bryan
AK47 Mitro Sess
That needs to be the lineup.
I expect and believe the team will give their all, and think they usually do, but it can seem as if some players aren't trying hard enough. I'm sure all the players will be strongly motivated to give their very best and get a decent result for Fulham.
We need to be organised , especially at the back, defend from the front, and not concede early, and hopefully not concede at all. We need to quiet their fans, and hopefully cause them problems on the break.
I really hope for a positive result, and will do my bit as a fan, along with all the other Fulham fans, to spur the lads on to victory, or at least a point.
I feel very nervous already, and can't wait to be travelling to the game.
I hope the ref is decent, and protects our players.
COYW!!!

Like this - except not sure if Cairney should start.

also like that team.
all agreed . the man city v liverpool game showed the sort of tenacity you need . no one expects them to match the skill but you can put your body on the line and come away with no regrets . the only thing that would be more annoying than a limp display would be some stupid tinkering and odd formation , get battered for 45 mins go in 2 down , revert to our 'normal' team and play really well and say how we deserved a draw. Sensible team and formation +effort today pls.
(that doesn't really sound like an odd request )
We need a win or a draw at worst !
Just placed my bet for FFC to win.

Yeah I'd play that team as well, although I thought Bettinelli did enough to usurp Rico last Sunday, especially given some questionable performances by Rico over the Christmas period.
It's not a huge issue, though.

May I kindly request what questionable performance?
I know it's personal option but how did Betts usurp Rico?
Totally agree with the OP, I'd rather see the kids play and give their all than highly paid professionals not fit to wear our shirt.COYW
Yes , we as fans have a right to demand a performance today but it is hard to imagine haw Ranieri can turn things around from last week.

If you could somehow weigh league points then three points today would be worth there weight in gold.
We really are desperate for a win, we are in real danger of being cast hopelessly adrift with Huddersfield at the bottom of the table.
