Match Day Thread Fulham v Southampton 26/12/2020 3pm Sky sports

Can you imagine if Salisu turns out to be better than Vesty.

 

Then we play him alongside Vesty and Jan steps down as things stand.

 

Got a bad feeling about today. They've improved a lot recently and with us having players out can see them nicking it.

 

You can all blame me if Big Vester doesn't make it today, I recently transferred him into my FF team.

Just put Danny back in too...

 

Not this year mate. Or next.

 

Think they’ll win pretty comfortably tbh. Fulham are actually a good side apart from at the back and don’t fancy us to score any/many with no Ings

 

Ye of little faith. Adams, Armstrong and theo have goals in them

 

Saints win my opto-positive slant on this one, goals this season coming from around the team the last eight goals have all been scored by different players.

Great, Stephens starts.

 

Shane Long OK now I'm worried

 

So much for your certainty


Shane

 

Think I might lump on Fulham seeing that team.

 

He's obviously not quite ready then.

 

As simple as that?

If he's not ready he shouldn't be on the bench.

 

TBF Jan and Jack were pretty good post lockdown at the end of last season plus he hasn't started since Ralph ditched the suicidal high line.

 

Love being right

Long is a strange one thiugh, cant get on the bench and then suddenly hes starting ahead of others?

 

Theo staying in a deeper role is a positive.
As expected, not a lot of strength to come off the bench, especially if we are chasing the game, but hopefully they will play the part Ralph wants from them.

 

Ralph looking for a balance of new and experience.

 

Which is why I thought he'd start Stephens today in the first place so it should make sense in my mind
