Grey,

My response was to Lukerz post. ;ok

Herb

;ok

Lukerz

Herb - completely agree.

Just don’t underestimate them. 10 goals doesn’t tell the whole story. They create numerous chances in their home matches particularly.

I hope we win & am confident of a positive result. But they will 100% cause us problems, so hope we aren’t too complacent.

Really looking forward to watching this one live on BT Sport ;scarf

ASLEFshrugged

Overall Fulham average 12.6 shots per game (10th) but at home its 17.4 (2nd only to Man City). Cor lummy...

BubblesNeverDies

Aslef, but how many of them are on target? ;wink

ASLEFshrugged

Fulham at home 5.4 shots on target per game (6th).

Fab could be in for a busy night...

The objective of our defence should be to limit how many shots they have.

IronHerb

Fulham have played 7 home games. From ASLEF's figures thats:-
7 x 17.4=122 shots in total.
7 x 5.4 = 38 shots on target.
10 goals scored.
10/122 = 8.2% success rate.

ASLEFshrugged

Sadly we are the 6th most generous away team, allowing 16 shots per game.

I think I've found why Fulham have such a low shots on target/goal to shots ratio, they are no.1 for shots outside the area (52%).

Bazshuayi

and 98% of those are via Schurrle ;wahoo

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

This would be sooooo West Ham to get done, but I honestly feel MP is changing the mindset of the players

Anyway forget all that and admire this little bit of photography and timing

ASLEFshrugged

Mike Dean appointed ref.

Pellegrini says Wilshere is still injured and Perez's foot is still painful.

Lawro has predicted we'll lose 2-1, the bookies think 1-1 or 2-1 to us are both better bets.

Kuchinghammer

Antonio and Cresswell, with Carroll and Masuaku if we find ourselves two down. Mike Dean will try his best to have a big influence on the game (as usual): expect penalties and much card-waving

MrsGrey

Well, Benitez got manager of the month for November, so that's one less thing to worry about.

Away win, 1-3 coyi

McHammer

Matchday. I woke to a vision. All these months someone has been whispering in ACs ear. "Not yet Andy, Not yet"
Today that voice screams "now Andy NOWWW"

I think this is a scene from Herbie goes to Monte Carlo.

A Christmas Carroll
Carroll Singing
Carroll Smillie
Carroll the Decker

Lukerz

Ex says doubts over all our forwards. Carroll unlikely to start, Perez is injured, Hernandez a ‘doubt’ after not training all week. Reckon he’ll be ok, though. Silva to come into the squad.

Could be Antonio up front again.

McHammer

"Not yet Andy..."

Hold back, hold back, go get em boy

OldCastleSwift

I had a dream last night we won 3-1.

You're welcome.

The only thing that's new there is about Chicarito ;hmm

About right though, I brought him into my FF team ;weep

TheMadcapLaughs

Step aside Carroll, or should I say X-Andy, Silva to the rescue............ ;goal

puddleglumhammers

So we could end up with -
Fab
Zab Balbuena Diop Masuaka
Rice
Noble Snodgrass
Anderson Antonio Diangana

Sounds about right. From right back in one game to striker in the next!

TheMadcapLaughs

Like that team, plenty of pace up front, assuming Pea not available. Would love to see Silva get some playing time though. In Pelle we trust (wasn`t saying that after four games). ;scarf

I was as I said apart from Liverpool we could and should have gained points from the others
