We travel acroos town to the London Stadium to take on West Ham for a 3 o’clock kick off
After a hard fought win against Forest on Monday hopefully the lads won’t have “over indulged” and will be raring to go.
Raúl scoring from a pen’, I didn’t realise that he’s never missed a Premier League penalty, 11 from 11 matching Yaya Toure’s record, this was the first penalty for Fulham this season and only the second this calendar year!
Anderson’s finger looked nasty and Harry looked to have twisted his knee shortly before Adama replaced him.
Young Kusi-Asare came on in the 85th minute and, I think, looked lively and caused Forest a few problems. Surely he must get more game time over the coming weeks?
Kevin had a really good game, it can’t be long before he gets his first goal? and hopefully more will follow.
Historically we’ve not had too good a record against West Ham starting in 1898 when we were in the Southern League Second division when we lost 2-1 and 0-1. To date we’ve had 34 wins, 52 losses and 25 draws.
We lost our only FA Cup final 0-2 in 1975 to them even though we had Bobby Moore and Alan Mullery, Fulham were in the Second Division (now the Championship), whilst West Ham were in the First Division (now the Premier League).
Interestingly the West Ham team were the last “all English” team to win the FA Cup, Fulham hold the record for the most games played to reach the final.
Our record, for the previous 6 games, is reasonable with 2 wins, 3 losses and a draw.
I’d start the same 11 that started against Forest, so my team would be…
