Off the top of my head:
Bosnich
Delaney Laursen Ehiogu Bouma
Young Milner Barry Grealish
Yorke JPA
Was hard to think of defenders that I really liked. JPA, Delaney and Bouma would probably not be in my Best XI
There are far more clubs with a vested interest in the league being cancelled than it resuming, thus I think PL members will not be too eager to complete the season. The bottom 7 clubs are afraid of relegation. Spurs and Arsenal are worried of missing out on the UCL and EL respectively. Everton don't want Liverpool being crowned champions. Etc.
If it gets to that stage, Liverpool and ManUtd (UCL possibility) would be the only two teams that would not want the league cancelled. Pretty sure the clubs would agree to award the title to Liverpool. So the vote will be 19-1. The plight of Championship clubs is not a consideration for the PL. Tough luck to Leeds and WBA.
Only way I see us avoiding relegation is if the rest of the PL season is cancelled due to the coronavirus and they decide to start next season with the same 20 clubs.
Did not see that goal coming. Nyland was amazing and I was quite impressed with Davis when he came on.
Really hope this gives the team confidence in the PL.
I just don't see us taking points against the big clubs and I think that will be our undoing because every other bottom-half club seems to get a few points off of them. Case in point - Newcastle beats Chelsea, CP draws Man City and Watford draws Spurs today.
Who did we cull? Our team was made-up of loaned players. I would argue we should have gone for more players with Premier League experience, but that's hindsight. Was absolutely raring to go with our squad back in August.
I like Luiz and think he will eventually be a very good player. The immediate issue is that for all the good work he does, he makes 2-3 howlers in almost every match that eventually result in goals or good scoring opportunities for the opposition. Football is not a sport where you can spot your opponent goals and easily recover from it.
Great result. Nyland very confident and the back line is solid. The two defensive MF are the big worry. Nakamba is lost and every game Luiz makes a blunder or two, which at this level gets punished. Obviously need some attacking options as well.
Was deflating when the commentator said, "Just seems like Fulham wants this more." Games shows we really have little depth. Lansbury, Jota, Nakamba not good enough. A lot of the others can't really do it without the likes of Grealish or Mings.
Ultimately we need to find a way to win 6 out of our remaining 17 matches. If we can get 3 of them before March, we'll be in decent shape, otherwise it will be an extremely stressful Spring.
We were very poor and lucky to win. We were raving about some of these same players a few weeks back, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt and attribute their dip in form to a lack of confidence. Need at least 1 win in the next 2 matches.
