Gamble92 Posted 20 August Share Posted 20 August This fixture will always bring back memories of that final nail in the coffin last time. I don't think you can witness such a polar opposite as a fan as that team we put out that day to the teams we had for years before it. It was the absolute confirmation we had lost the Leicester we knew. For that reason I'd love a performance like 2nd half last night and to see us give it a right go. Even if we don't come out on top. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he can't defend, just think BDR's attributes are going to be better suited to away games and those against the top 6, with Mavididi coming on as an impact.

I disagree when required he dug in and esp near the end of the season when we needed the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a willing worker but I’m unsure he has the defensive ‘nous’ of Reid, who does seem very good at not only working back but tracking a man through the lines, bad example but for the Porro goal Reid is shoulder to shoulder with him all the way, I don’t imagine Mavididi would have done the same. Horses for courses, play into your players strengths depending on the set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had massive concerns regards to VK but no way you can drop him after his last performance. Would completely ruin any confidence he has. He's actually probably more physical that other options too, albeit maybe not as fast. Personally I'd keep the same team. Perhaps start slowly integrating Skipp for Ndidi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August (edited) Fulham casually dropping 55m on Sander Berge and Joakim Andersen this week shows the insanity of the Premier League. The 32m we spent on Tielemans was in 2019 right? Edited 21 August by StriderHiryu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasner at Frankfurt liked to play a high line and Andersen is not the fastest. That said I find Palace's activity weird, everyone was tipping them for a big season, but now they are losing quite a few players and already lost their first game. Looks like more mid-table mediocrity for them. There's no doubt that we have been left behind in the Premier League for quite some time, but all teams are throwing crazy amounts of money around. There used to be the top 6 and then maybe 2-3 ambitious teams that spent a bit on occasion. Now you have 40M for Rutter, Brentford spent 37M on Igor Thiago, Bournemouth 40M on Evanilson, Fulham this window spending 30M on Smith-Rowe and then the the two picked up this week, etc. The division has become brutal.

Doesn’t make sense Not sure if VK is undropable after his performance on Monday Night but I wouldn't want to as he's young and put in some effort - If he can improve his positional play he may be a reasonable left back for the next couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozleicester Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August 38 draws = 38 (less psr) points....bugger gonna have to win a couple 34 draws + 2 wins against Southampton and Ipswich = 46 points... yep thall do it... therefore.... Draw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August I think it'll be unchanged but I have no issues with the likes of Ricardo, Mavididi or Skipp coming into the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August (edited) With Southampton and Forest playing each other, Ipswich away at Man City, Everton away at Spurs and Bournemouth playing Newcastle it's perhaps a good opportunity to get 3/4 points ahead of these clubs early doors.

Happy Fox Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August October fixtures plus the game against Ipswich are crucial for our survival hopes. Would hope we can get wins from those games. Up to October we have some fairly tricky fixtures to navigate, but if we can beat Everton and get draws away at Palace and away at Fulham, this will stand us in good stead.

Trekerz Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August I think you have to stick with the same team. The confidence them players will have after that second half will be a huge help. We also don't want to keep chopping and changing throughout the season. Preferably keep some balance and i know we didn't win but feels like a win. Don't change a winning side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this last weekend when I was doing my fantasy team, then Palace threw about 4 players in who hadn't had a pre season at all. See also Vardy Fulham were crap on Friday... they need these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
