Team for Palace game

[JoelH5]

When your 5th defender is Ream, you may as well play 4 at this level.

If Bryan is fit, put Sess in for Schurrle.

Agree

For me it would be


                 Rico

Christie   Odoi   MLM   Bryan

        Chambers Seri

Babel     Cairney     Sessegnon

            Mitrovic


Stephen Sessegnon has to be on the bench and on for Christie at some point, unless the game is so finely balanced that we need to use the subs for other tactical changes.

Switch out Christie for Valencia, Odoi for Cahill and then someone else in for Bryan and it's starting to look like a pretty good outfit..

Bryan's inch perfect cross set up Mitro's goal. Not the best at defending but has a good cross.

For me, it's the RB and CB as you've said.

[Robbie]

The mid field will be crucial ..  Roy will look  to bang  as many balls into the box from the touchlines as possible.

We need  to crowd them out in mid field ..

[Riverside]

I would start the team that started the second half

Vietto was a key part of the turn around
The energy he bought added considerably to having the extra man (TC ) in the midfield .

I thought he had a great game and deserved his goal

[Matt10]

Think we'll give the 4 back a try. Playing football and ensuring we've got proper cover if we lose the ball. Think a base 4-3-3 that can turn into a 2-1-4-3 in the attack, transitioning to a 4-5-1 in defence. 

                             Rico

Christie       Nordtveit     LeMarchand     Sess

         Cairney        Seri        Chambers

    Schurrle           Mitro         Babel

Subs: Betts, Vietto, Markovic, Bryan, Ream, Odoi, Ayite

[bornafulhamfan]

Rico
Christie Odoi MLM Sess
Chambers
Seri Cairney
Vietto Mitro Babel

Subs: Betts, Ream, Bryan, Nordtveit, Anguissa, Markovic, Schuerrle

Used subs:
Nordtveit for Christie(moving Odoi to rb)
Markovic for either Babel or Vietto(whoever gets more tired)
Anguissa for Chambers/Bryan for Sess(again who is more tired).

Imo we shouldn't change the team that finished the last game(especially Vietto who was immense imo)

[nose returns]

you cannot start the new center half this week
first it would be unfair on the players that got tuesday's win and demoralise them. second he has only just got here, he/they needs at least a week to get a feel of how we paly

[RaySmith]

I think CR may play him if he thinks he's ready - he gave Babel an immediate start. OK, he may have had few more days with the squad, but I've a feeling that Nordtveit could start, or at least be on the bench.

[Matt10]

Right and if we had signed Sabaly there would be uproar if he was on the bench.

I'm thinking our signings are meant to be starters. Who knows though. Excited nonetheless.

it would be nuts to start players who only joined 30 hours ago. I doubt they have even trained with the first team. Bench at best and even that would be a huge gamble. Plus we are fulham, at least one of them will have a slight injury or is unfit

[Hoppus]

Is Nortvedt fit?

[Andyb]

Schurrle injured? Seen on instagram his right leg covered up

Said as a true Fulham supporter I suppose!!!

[Dodger53]

Any team without Christie anywherer near our defence please.

[filham]

Interesting to see which way Renieri goes after the huge success of 4-4-2 on Tuesday night.
I think we should stick with 4-4-2, an extra player at the back just increases the chances of one of them making a nasty mistake.

And he goes with 5 at the back.
