Fulham 3-0 Spurs - 16 March

If we bring Cairney on for the final half hour we could tear them apart.
However they can come out a different team in the second half.

Or vice versa.

Great performance so far. Robinson wonderful, the midfield 3 absolutely bossing their midfield, Muniz battling hard and two centrebacks very assured. Castagne has been superb in attack, but I feel like all Spurs attacks that had any danger in them have come from his side and due to his poor defending. Likewise with Andreas, he was crucial in our pressing and general midfield play, but has been erratic at times. Tete and one of Traore/Wilson/Cairney to come on for two of them at some time in the second half. If Lukic/Willian get tired later on, Reed and another one of the Adama/Wilson/Cairney to come on for them.

More of the same in the second half please.

Agree with all of this. Castagne caught out in attack too many times and he doesn't have the recovery speed to do that like Robinson does. Thankfully Johnson has been bad but he can flip cold to hot really quick.

Andreas just isn't strong enough on the ball and gets dispossessed way too easily. Happened two or three times and he had a bad giveaway. They haven't capitalized on those but that needs to be cleaned up.

I like Adama for Pereira fairly early(55-60 minutes) with Iwobi moving centrally.

[Eton White]

Spurs don't normally get going until the second half. Hopefully we won't give them a chance to today.

Good to have so many realistic options.

We will need a 2nd. Can't see a clean sheet happening.

LUKIC

Wasn't close. Very clever finish.

Spurs are shell shocked.

When Fulham move quickly forward inside the 30, they are lethal.

[Eton White]

Perfect start

[St Eve]

Keep attacking

[Drewry66]

Sassa has just been a completely different player the last month. What a massive bonus him finally coming good.

 

[SerbianLad]

Hopefully Andreas isn't seriously injured and will be able to play for Brazil national team, but I'd sub him off here regardless and bring on Adama.

[LittleErn]

We've got the base to win this. Now we need to build on that. There's no way we should try to defend the lead against a team like Spurs who have been strong in the last quarter of their matches this year.
