Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 26

[Metalhead]

Every time I post "2-0 win" we win 4-0

So comfortable 2-0 win

Can you post 4-0 win then please.

Bale rested, Sissoko on the right wing

We need to kill the Dynamo tie in the first leg

...and I think we will. But we also have an issue of Arsenal three days after. There is no way our favoured 11 is going to be able to all play Burnley, Fulham, Palace, Zagreb and Arsenal, so for me if I had to rotate a few it would be Sunday or against Zagreb.

Edit: To clarify when I say "rest a few" I'm not talking about bringing back Winkssoko and Dier, I'm talking Lamela in for Bale, Dele in for Lucas, maybe Rodon in for Sanchez/Toby for Palace and possibly Gio if he's fit. Players who are more than capable of filling in for the odd game.

Must win... if not all the optimism that the corner has started to be turned form wise that has built up over past week or so will be gone again.

Winks in goal, Sonny as a CB.

I'm more worried we might see Doherty and Davies tonight, which totally changes the team's shape.

Bale, Alli, Son, Kane all starting according to Paul O'Keefe on twitter who is usually bang on the money.

Excellent news, really excited about a PL match for the first time in a while!

I can see this game being more of a slog than the Burnley game. We had the luxury of an early goal in that game to settle the nerves, I hope Dele is willing to put in the graft to accompany the flair.

Fulham will be more expansive at home. I reckon we'll have too much for them on the break. Don't forget they are only 3 points off safety and will have to start attacking more, as they're drawing a lot of games.

True however we must be hopeful that if we take the game to Fulham (vs. our previous tentative approach of simply trying to stop the other team) then the general movement of the propsoed front 4 of Bale, Son, Kane and Alli will surely open spaces for any of those 4 to capitilise..

Just read Mitrovic might be in contention. Of course he is haha

They'll be wanting to not lose first and foremost. An early goal would be great but I think they'll try to stay compact and nick something. If Dele's got his mojo back this could be a good opportunity for him to click with Ndombele. Fingers crossed.

BASK? Finally? What is this, imaginationland?

That is true. They can't afford to try and inch their way to safety one point at a time.

Or SKAB...

Or SKAB...

Speaking of acronyms, just thought of this unfortunate combo…Winks, Alli, Ndombele, Kane, Erik, Reguilon and Son.

He’s an absolute goof and has about the same access to info as you and me. I remember when somebody brought him up in a match thread saying that Lloris wasn’t playing. Lo and behold, as we all knew, Lloris was more than ready to play.

I'd suggest Sunday against Palace then as we have to beat Zagreb and Arsenal will also have played on Thursday anyway.
