Your line-up vs Hull

[IranianCottager]

I would go:
--------------------Stockdale--------------------
-Riether-----Heitinga---Hangeland-----Riise-
---------------Parker-----Sidwell---------------
-Kasami------------Holtby--------Richardson-
--------------------Rodallega--------------------

Bench:
Stekelenburg, Amorebieta, Kvist, Karagounis, Dejagah, Kacaniklic, Woodrow

I thought Riise played well vs Tottenham and I prefer him over Amorebieta at LB, but Magath seems to like Amorebieta for some reason, so that won't happen.
Parker gets so much unfair criticism here. He works his socks off, protects the back four well and can pick out a pass when pushing forward or shoot. Yes, he has occasional turnovers, but it's not like Kvist doesn't. Also, I don't think Diarra is fit yet so he is out of the picture.
Kasami over Dejagah to start at right-midfield so he can tire out the defense with his work ethic and then we can bring on a fresh Ashkan no later than 60 minutes to work his magic.
We really missed Richardson and Holtby vs Tottenham, both must start in midfield.
Sorry, Bent, no room for you in the squad; Rodallega and Woodrow deserve it more.

 i would have amorebieta at LB ... also i think diarra will start and was just rested for the spurs game to be fully ready for this one , but other than that sir i agree with it all  049:gif

-----------------Stockdale-----------------------
Riether-----Heitinga-----Hangeland-----Amorebieta
-------------Diarra-----Sidwell-------------------
Kasami-----------Holtby----------------Richardson
----------------Woodrow------------------------

Subs bench of: Stekelenburg, Riise, Kvist, Parker, Dejagah, Kacaniklic, Rodallega.

Fernando Amorebieta helps in many ways. He's good in the air aiding defensively for set pieces (I know some will blame him for Spurs, but we'll never come against deliveries like that again). Also, he'll play narrow, meaning Brede Hangeland will not be as exposed, and for Hull going down their right, Richardson can come across and stop El Mohamady.

Mahamadou Diarra is our best central midfielder, says more about our midfield than it does about him though. Mama is comfortable on the ball, strong and a leader. Plus, his tactical nous is astonishing. Steve Sidwell picks himself this reason, I just wish we had a younger, better quality midfield, otherwise we wouldn't be in this mess.

Pajtim Kasami, as you say, will protect Riether and cover a lot of ground before using the impact of Ashkan Dejagah. Lewis Holtby of course, also picks himself.

As with Kasami, Richardson comes in who can cover a lot of ground, plus Richardson's pace behind AEM could be a great battle.

I've gone for Cauley Woodrow instead of Hugo Rodallega, because Cauley's holding up play is better than Hugo's and it's vital that the ball sticks once it goes up there in the early stages of the game. I can hear you now, "but Woodrow doesn't score, blah, blah, blah," he doesn't need to, the role he would do for the team in the first half means a lot more. He can hold it up against Chester and Davies, bringing in the likes of Holtby, Richardson and Kasami. Like Aston Villa, get Hugo on and tell him to disrupt things, be a battering ram and cause chaos.

Not sure about the deliveries comment. Huddlestone destroyed us with his set pieces

we cant defend so might aswell try and out score them. don't trust hugo to be a lone striker

[Barrie]

I'm not a fan of Hugo up top on his own, the ball just doesn't stick with him and it just keeps coming back at us.

I used t think exactly that but against Spurs his touch and control was fantastic.

Is the Greek fit...... I have to ask. If he's fit should he play?

[Jamie88]

Nope.....and nope.

Kasami    Sidwell      Diarra     Richardson
                       Holtby

[Wingnut]

You or I have a better chance of playing for Fulham this season than he has.

I'll go for :

                     Rodallega

Richardson    Holtby      Sidwell          Dejagah

                         Diarra

JAR           Hangeland    Heitinga         Riether

                      Stockdale

[Humbled]

Think it will be -

                               Stocko
               Heitinga     Brede     Amorebieta
Rither                        Diarra                             Richardson
                     Sidwel               Parker
                                 Holtby
                                Rodders

[HatterDon]

whoever Felix puts out there. I've not disagreed with his squad selection much, only with how long he leaves knackered players on the pitch -- Parker, Diarra.

[Cravenawin]

If everyone is fit, Kasami should be nowhere near the starting eleven. Brings nothing to the team at all.

[JackyFulham90]

The team Magath will pick

                               Stockdale
Riether Heitinga Hangeland Amorebieta Richardson
                    Sidwell Parker Diarra
                                Holtby
                                 Rodallega

[jms]

Diarra ...diarra.......Diarra....... sorry, but without him, forget it.  049:gif

[PokerMatt]

Really, really, really don't like Kasami on the right wing.

I'd agree with:

                  Stockdale
Riether  Heitinga    Hangeland   Amorebieta

Kasami    Sidwell      Diarra     Richardson
                       Holtby
               Rodallega

Except have Dejagah on the flank. I know he's a good impact sub but we lose too much with PK starting.
