We're beyond sports washed at this point.

 

New season, a new manager, new signings, a club legend in his final season, a club legend just passed.....

 

Nah let's just out Top on the front.

Now that's actually a pathetic decision
Ridiculously out of touch

Can only imagine he thinks Reid will be better playing the role he's tried Mav in preseason with VK playing high.

And with Vardy to start also probably wants Mav as the option of his sub over Cannon.

Mavididi dared score two goals in preseason so he had to be ousted 

[Free Falling Foxes]

FFS. We've started praying before a ball is kicked......

Expectations are so low, maybe we will be in for a pleasant surprise 

[Finnegan]

Two of last seasons best players dropped. 

 

But it's OK because we've got a thirty year old Fulham reject that averages **** all goals a season. 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Not having Riccy P on the park is a crime

[Filbert Fireworks]

Understand the frustration with Ricky P and Mads not in the 11 but it could be tactically astute. Powerful option to be able to bring them both on together against tired legs as opposed to changes that would weaken the side.

We are playing in last season though are we?

Have you been watching them as much as Cooper in training then?  

Correct. 😂

[Mark]

Mavididi was always going to struggle with the step up considering how he played January onwards, hopefully the competition this season pushes him on to improve

[DJ Barry Hammond]

One thought - Son plays from the left, so has Cooper picked Justin to just sit and do a job there? 
 

Asking Ricardo to do that is a waste.

[Nalis]

I want to back Cooper but how tf can you back that line up?

 

I worry the game will go something like this.

 

30 minutes of backs to wall containment

Goal to Spurs.

HT

Containment for 10 minutes

Goal to Spurs

Another goal to Spurs

More containment by us to keep the score down, Spurs stop playing but get board and score again just before full time.

 

0-4

[Sunbury Fox]

RL just said that Okoli not fit enough to start which is why Vesty starting. 

[marcymarc666]

So that's why we haven't bought any strikers. Vards is back and ready to knock in 30 goals this season !!

[trabuch]

I'll be very happy to be proved wrong (again). But Cooper hasn't won me over with that line up.

[Daz93]

Can't see anything other than a battering here.

[Clever Fox]

Did Ricardo piss him off or something.

we will already be 3-0 down by the time the Tottenham players get tired legs. Pointless. 

[South Shire Fox]

I imagine hes started Reid for his defensive work.. Perez style. Fulham fans said hes a grafter

[oxtonfox]

I’m not sure if Vardy is pumped full of red bull and skittles to get him through but that is a master stroke. Hope he stays fit. 

 

[LVFox]

A real chance that our two best players are a) on the bench and b) out of position, all because we want Bobby De Cordova Reid at Right Wing

[An Away Move]

Disappointed Alves isn’t on the bench.

That is fair. But we’ve seen that Cooper has not been starting Riccy through the last 3 preseason games so we know it’s more than that.

Cooper: We had no strikers.

 

Cannon: 👀 

Yeah, couldn't quite believe he came out with that. Later on he said senior strikers, but jeez. Hopefully tom comes on at some point.
