Mighty Fulham vs. blue scum Match Thread

[fulhamben]

so frustrating. why oh why cant we beat the first man with a corner.

[MrProphet]

I'm going to say it quietly but we seem so have some shape and a game plan!

Kasami, Parker bidders and Richardson all immense

[alexbishop]

Duffers corners are Sunday league though

[LordNelson]

So what is the difference for us today????  Is it simply the line up?

[Bassey the warrior]

Really impressed by Kasami today, finally playing like a number 10. Really complete performance so far. And right on half time he showed some excellent off the ball movement and Bent should've picked him out.
He's developing so quickly this season.

[fulhamben]

Kasami is turning out to be some player

i would seriously play him in cm next to parker or boatang. he looks like he could do that job with ease

[Ordar]

Best half performance of the season. Great performances all over the park. We look much more dangerous going forward without Berbatov slowing things down. Don't see how Kasami can be dropped.
Kaca has been very quiet.
Richardson has looked good at lb.
Parker is such a good player. Just makes everything look so easy.
Amorebieta has done well.

Hazard dives all over the shop.

[PokerMatt]

I'd have put my mortgage on bent putting that away :(

Huge chance but the fact the best one of the game so far has gone our way is very encouraging. The shape is so much better with bent further up and kasami in behind.

Well, I think so yes. As much as I love Berba he's been s***e this season by and large and has shown an appalling attitude. Ruiz meanwhile has been played in a role he isn't suited to, far too deep.
Kasami seems more suited to that role so perhaps they could rotate depending on how much possession we will have. In the games we'll have less, pick Kasami and the games we'll have more pick Ruiz but push him further forward.

[Parkway Drive]

very impressive performance so far if i'm honest, imagine bent put his shot away though...

[Humbled]

Bent should have scored but he is making the runs we have been missing... Kasami is very good, his willingness to work hard for the team is a joy to watch....
we have much much better shape not having 2 wanderers in the side!!

Still look forward to seeing Taarabt also

[Bassey the warrior]

This sort of performance could be used to motivate Berba, showing that he isn't quite as important as he seems to think and that he does in fact need to earn his money.
I hope we see the Berba of last season again.

[MrProphet]

I fancy taarabt for kaca at half time. They won't like it up them!

[fulhamben]

hope jol has some balls in this game and our first sub (injuries allowing) should be taraabt for either kaca or duff, probably duff as he is having some luck but doesnt have the pace to keep going when he turns ashley and cant cross with his right even if he does. we can win this come on you whites

[alexbishop]

Karagounis for Kaca is my prediction for next sub lol...

[fulhamben]

Karagounis for Kaca is my prediction for next sub lol...

sadly it will probably happen. shortly followed by the new boy for richardson

[Brown@FFC]

On the hour mark, Mesca for Duff. Taarabt for Kaca. Rodallega for Bent. Sidwell and Parker playing well.

[LordNelson]

COYW !!!

[fulhamben]

time to make the subs jol.
