Same as yesterday apart from: Cisse for Mackie Mackie fo SWP Dyer (if fit) for Bosingwa Grenero for Derry Goalkeepers - undecided. I'm not convinced by either of them.
Id go for -----------Cisse Hoilett---Taarabt---Mackie -----Mbia----Diakite/Faurlin Traore--Hill---Nelsen--Fabio/Dyer -----------Green Subs Cesar Onuoha/Ferdinand Fabio/Dyer/Boswinga Diakite/Faurlin Granero Park SWP
I'd even try Diakite and Faurlin in the middle and Mbia at RB (like at OT). Harry is clearly not a fan of Hoilett and like MH, can't get enough of SWP (???) so unlikely either formation will be on show. I haven't given up on Granero either, with a bit more confidence I'd like to see him push further forward and even take Adel's spot.
If it was not for Cisse we would of been relegated last season. He is not the sort of player who responds well to being on the bench which is not helping his attitude. Considering we only have 3 forwards, and 2 of them are long term injured he should play every game.
I see where are you coming from but if I was on the pitch with him and after he looses the ball he stays on the floor with his hands in the air I'd be pretty pissed off. Fulham have failed to score in their last 3 matches, so that means they'll score one against us
Well....you know how I love a formation.....so.... ------------------------Cesar---------------------- Fabio-------------Nelsen------Hill------------Traore ----------------M'Bia--------Diakite---------------- Mackie----------------Taarabt--------------Hoilett ---------------------Cisse-------------------------
Disagree. The only reason he's been on the bench is because he hasn't been pulling his weight. As for last season, what does that matter SEA? That was his job! He's on 50+k a week to score goals yet he's not been doing it. Two this season is woeful Mackie's got that and he ain't got half the quality Cisse has. Harry won't play him as long as his attitude continues to stink.
Agree totally. His goals last year might of kept us up, but his LACK of goals (and his **** attitude) could very well put us down this season. He is paid well to do a job...his job is to score goals...he isn't doing his job.
He has not had the continuity like he had last season...Zamora was often picked ahead of him...the one who does not like football...great.. As i said earlier Cisse is not a sub player he needs to play and he will score.......
Cisse will score goals if we give him enough support and service. Until January we have no one else imo.

Seahoop/Col- I so hope you are both right. The fella can be and is a joy to watch when he is on form but sadly I havnt seen a lot of that from him this season and at times his attitude can be that of a petulant child and quite frankly appalling. I promise you I will be the first to sing his name in admiration when and if he starts scoring again.
I don't know how some people have the stomach for watching players that obviously don't give a sh*t and don't even try. COL likes to call them "flair players" and I respect his and everyone else's opinion but I cannot stand them. Just can't stand the sight of them. Strolling around, hands on hips, sulking.......all while collecting an obscene pay packet at the end of the week. These type of players make me sick. Give me 11 Mackies or 11 Derrys or 11 Nelsons any day of the week.
I have a problem at forward. Mackie deserves to start, Cisse does not and.... Oh yes I remember now. We don't have anyone else. Because someone forgot to factor in a mega dose of bad luck to his best laid plans for containment and boredom. Faurlin deserves a chance to show what he can do and as he clearly was on the subs bench on saturday there seems to be no reason why he should not be given it. It must be his turn as Harry has had a look at everyone else now. If he is overlooked I will fear the worst. Granero is not up for it. So whatever esteem some on here might hold him in he should not be picked over Ali F especially against a team like Fulham in a London derby. At least Ali knows how to scrap. Defence is slowly improving and Rob Green acquitted himself well yesterday. We also got behind him. So that should do his confidence a world of good.
I absolutely recognise Cisse's bad attitude and it certainly pisses me off! Having said that, I believe he will get goals and that Mackie isn't the answer up front on his own. Get a decent striker in January and I'll be more than happy to say bye to Cisse.
I agree with all that except that I don't think Mackie is the man to play up top on his own. I'd still start him mind you, in place of SWP.
