My Fulham team! Yours? plan & strategy

[Jack Fulham]

I think QPR are expecting Diakite to be superman as well.

You obviously have never seen Dejagah in open play.

I certainly haven't seen him play, so

1. What's his best position in your opinion?
2. Do you see him as a regular starter or more of a bench option?

He's a right winger and I think he will be a starter when fit. At least a very good option to have to push Duffer.

Sidwell, Baird can play as a CM and have done pretty well there in the past. And I think Richardson will do well.

[bill taylors apprentice]

If we play Baird in CM with Diarra we will be over run by the better (most) teams, Baird is ok when we need to play an extra player in midfield.
Kasami might be worth a try, but like any of the youngsters it might be too much for him.
Davis could adapt to the Murphy role but I think Jol would see that as a step backwards. 
Forget Richardson, Ruiz is too light weight, so it has to be Sidwell and Diarra until we get someone else in.

[Senior Supporter]

Let's go Retro

                                          Schwarzer


                                  Reither              Riise


                               
                                Baird    Hangeland    Diarra


                Duff      Bryan         Berbatov          Rodallega          Kacaniklic

Why does that look more promising to me than most of the other line-ups suggested in this thread?  fp.gif

you cant play 2 defensive midfielders in baird and diarra. and sidwell far from impressed at the play off winners on saturday... richardson? will be lucky to make the bench on his last performance especially when ruiz frei and ashkan make the match day squad

[Chutney]

This for me, feel bad for petric as he has started well but berbatov has to start until we can get a dembele type playmaker brought in.

This would work for me as well if we need two defensive mids. Petric could come in if we need a goal and we could drop Sidwell.

[MJG]

I see a lot of people saying Diarra is really just a DM. The thing that surprised me about him last year was his all round game and how he played could play both deep and more adavanced.
Baird can play the holding with Diarra the more attacking role, so ibdont see them together as an issue.

[MaxWalker]

Something like this is what I would like to see. Little bit more attacking. Would love to see all of our attacking force same time on line-up (we actually have great attacking players now). :)
