If you think you can, you can.....if you think you can't, you can't. If we stay resolute in our defending as a team.....we can go anywhere. We still need strengthening.....but we are improving overall gradually. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game morphs all the time......It Was Derek Dougan who said when asked about formations, "its 1-10 isnt it" Too much sophistication is applied to a simple game to make it look complicated. If you can align desire and application to Talent.....its about as close to perfection as you can get......I think the Chelsea team illustrated that without desire, talent leaves you helpless, thank god they found some second half.

Then tescos almost beat chelski, and after that wham battered the dingos. fulham won't roll over and they will see us an opportunity to get some points in. We better be up for it from the start. We have a better team this season than we had the last. Not only because of our new signings but also because the other players have gained a season's experience. But it's far from flawless. I predict a 3-1 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 It's between Hourihane and Traore to start with Grealish moving round depending on who does. Not sure which way I'd go. I think Smith will start Hourihane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett Luiz McGinn - Hourihane Traore - Watkins - Grealish The team I'd go with. I'd genuinely be tempted to give Ramsey a start instead of Hourihane but we aren't going to do that realistically. Fulham haven't looked too good so far and we should really be getting 3 points tonight if we don't want any repeats of last season, the big concern I have is our results in London since 2015 are absolutely shocking. "Villa are looking to open a Premier League campaign with back-to-back victories for just the third time, also doing so in 1995/96 and 1999/00. But the West Midlands club have earned just one point from their last 30 available in Premier League matches in London, since beating Tottenham 1-0 in April 2015."

PieFacE Posted September 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2020 Feels like an age since our last PL match. Monday games suck. Excited for this game though which is usually a bad omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still pick the same team that beat SU. I'm a big believer in never change a winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoVillan1983 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Fulham was the last away match I went to before I moved to the US in 2012. Miss the old Prawn Sandwich Brigade and that away end that would move if you bounced up and down enough after a goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The weekend showed that there are no easy games. Far to few games now to draw any hard conclusions on how good or poor teams are. From what I've seen from Fulham you would expect an away win but I wouldn't be terribly upset with a draw beforehand. All depends how the match plays out. Same team, possibly Traore in for Trez.

Sulberto21 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Fulham attack well and keep the ball. We need to go at them in the first 15 their defence is very dim. They lack intelligence defensively. Id prefer a double pivot with the full backs attacking and the wide men drifting in. Dean Smith plays with a single pivot, I feel once Fulham start controlling the ball then that's when they might hurt us. If we score 1 -2 in that first 15 I believe we are capable of really putting them to the sword they will capitulate. This game will be won off the ball.
