Seri IMO. Cairney too poor defensively.

Tom Cairney for me. Although there is not a lot in it.
Its not the man in the fight, it's the fight in the man.  🐘

Never forget your Roots.

Just not a Seri fan, I am sorry. he is constantly getting lost in the play and never really re-appears.  Weak on the ball too imo.  Central Midfield is where we need strength and TC is by far more qualified to fill that role.
There is only one Fulham Football Club.

Seri for me, forget price tag, offers a better overall midfielder in a 2 man mid

The funniest thing about a Cairney/Seri debate is that people will berate Seri for stuff they overlook TC doing at the same time. We're probably playing a 2 man midfield going forward and that's something you can't have TC in because his work rate off the ball is poor so against half decent teams he hamstrings us seeing as we're not having a large amount of possession.

Cairney... at least Seri now thankfully getting dropped ... didn't stop him coming on and making a complete pigs ear of I think their 3rd. Sell him in January and get a battling midfielder in.

Cairney, although if we are going to pick holes in each player, he failed to track their runner for the first today whilst Odoi & Seri left a bouncing ball for one another for the fourth

And second was his man at the the throw in. Let's be fair if we pick faults


Sgt Fulham

TC for me, but preferably both.

@jolslover

Honestly Seri was very good when he came on, His interception led to the goal and he created several chances including a lovely cross Mitro should have slotted.

Was the final goal not also partially Mitrovic's fault for backheeling the ball to their player on the edge of the box without looking?

I'm saying If you watch the goal, ream puts it out for a throw in.

Throw in is taken and cairneys man takes it, a lazy leg is thrown by Cairney before his man lays it off and then ends up in the box and scored, within 10 seconds of play. I would say that would be his fault for not tracking his man.

i was referring to their final goal, mitro odoi and seri all at fault for not being able to clear the lines


Milo

When attacking a game, Cairney.
When holding a lead, Seri.

MJG

Both, we play a third CM.
Just the views of a long term fan

filham

Cairney for me and it is clear that that we cannot afford the luxury of both in the same team.
Of course that begs the question why on earth did we buy Seri, would not the money have been better spent on a right back.

Because the original plan was to play Anguissa, Seri and Cairney, it just never worked out.

And Chambers has become the player we thought (L)anguissa would be.

But also because we changed our shape to counteract a leaky back 4, and a man was taken out of central mid and put in defence.
