ferguson1 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 …………….and so he remains, for now. Regardless of the final result here, he should go. We’ve seen some false dawns already, most notably last season when we beat Brighton away, Southampton at home comfortably and then Leeds away comfortably but then reverted back to losing three on the bounce. It’s been like this for twelve months now. Zero consistency. Even six points from this and Brentford at the weekend won’t change my feelings. As a fan base we’re fed up and we all need a lift. Can’t see him changing anything unless Coutinho is back in, which I wouldn’t do personally. Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Young McGinn Luiz Ramsey Bailey Ings Watkins Subs: Olsen, Bednarek, Chambers, Nakamba, Sanson, Dendoncker, Coutinho, Buendia, Archer. Quite honestly, I do care and would never want us to lose just so a manager is sacked because I’m not sure it will be based on this one result anyway. I think we’ll win, just. 1-2 but a horrible game and it won’t be enjoyable in the slightest. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks picking a team for a game when every week certain players are excluded, certain players have to be picked and we have to stick to one formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reaction was more that never in a million years will Gerrard play that shape with those players. It's a shame but that's probably part of the story as to why most people want him gone and can't see anything more than a shithoused point or a boring away loss from our trip to Craven Cottage... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha - it's the Bednarek inclusion that worries me and there's absolutely no creativity Buendia aside. That said the current system is clearly hopeless so you might make a good case for shaking things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Fulham have had one 0-0 all season (Wolves), aside from that, both teams have scored in each of their other 9 league fixtures - So I think there will be goals in this one. Both teams should fancy their chances and that might actually work in our favour as we know how clueless we have looked trying to break down opponents with a 'low block'. I think it's a given Mitrovic will score, but I think we can win IF we cut out the stupid mistakes (probably stating the obvious). Stick with the same side but if it ain't working get Emi or Phil on (sharpish). 1-2 or 1-3 Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard and the staff haven't shown that yet but if we changed shape and approach and played Fulham off the pitch, you'd have to hope we'd carry that forward, even if it's inconsistently at first, into the next games. No matter how much Gerrard could improve though he'll have a ceiling and I think we could potentially have the pulling power to get managers who can do better than Gerrard at his best (Poch on my mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 4-0 Fulham would have longer term benefits, as it might prompt the sacking of Gerrard. However, we can’t guarantee that Gerrard would be sacked with a 4-0 loss, so therefore i have to go with a 4-0 win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 While I think it would beneficial long term for a result that would get Gerrard sacked, looking at the table, I'm getting a very sick feeling about losing this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves, they are the only team that have scored less than us. The sorting order is points, goal difference, goals scored, points in head to head matches, away goals in head to head matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted October 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2022 We will go behind early - in the first 15 minutes. We will respond well and get the equalizer before the half is out. But it will remain that way even after Gerrard makes 3 separate individual substitutions (each 2 minutes apart) which will see us delightfully balanced in a 4-2-4. Mings will go down injured with 5 to go but have to stay on to make up numbers, since we've used up our sub window allocation. We will cling on for the draw. You heard it here first.
