Match Day Thread Fulham v Toon

[Mick O'Toon]

100% on the midfield but it sounds as if Isak is 50/50 for Saturday - not sure why he came off as I didn't see the game but if he made it to HT it can't of been a major issue?

If Isak isn't fit who goes up top? Gordon through the middle losses something, also means Murphy would start... Osula in line for a run out but having not featured rather see him off the bench tbh. Would anyone have a look at Joelinton up top again as a target man? Using him as a bit of a battering ram could work and he arrived as a striker but is a different beast now to the 22 year old who arrived and looked lost up top on his own. With players like Barnes, Gordon, Willock, Tonali all getting around him from the midfield think he could be an option but hopefully Isak is fit.

Broken nose,put a mask on him and he'll be grand.

 

[Fox Mulder]

He will be absolutely fine.

Howe will have him breathing perfectly without even trying.

 

[G4rdToonArmy]

Jesus he broke his nose!

Fair play to making it to HT. Yeah he should be fine for Saturday I'd imagine.

Would like to see Joelinton back up top just as a target man just to see his strength and physicality up top - especially while he's having a funny patch of form from CM - been weird start to the season for him - epic vs Saints, awful vs Bournemouth, better vs Forest and Spurs and then hooked at HT vs Wolves...

 

[Fox Mulder]

I don't believe he broke his nose.. there was no evidence of blood....I heard he was complaining of blurred vision so was taken off.

 

[ToonArmy1892]

If we win this aswell.

I seen a little bit of blood so there was definitely some there.

But can’t believe it broke his nose?

 

[Somebodys pinched my sombrero]

Pope
Trippier
Schar
Burn
Kelly
Bruno
Tonali
Willock
Gordon
Isak
Barnes

That team should put us top of the league on Saturday.
Not bad for a team that’s hardly broke sweat.

Will Isak be fit? Can see us winning this game.

And if we did it will be the best start to any premier league season. It might already be in fact!

 

[ToonArmy1892]

Top if we win.

 

[G4rdToonArmy]

Top if we win.

Until Sunday! Unless there's a draw and we win by more than 5 goals.

Yea but it will still be nice.

If it’s his nose, yes. His eye could be a different matter.

A little piece of blood isn't going to kill anyone.


Unless he has aids.

They reckon it was his eye that was the issue?

or he’s swimming in the Amazon and 1000 piranha get a whiff of him.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Howe would manage the situation

 

[Judge Death]

I don't believe he broke his nose.. there was no evidence of blood....I heard he was complaining of blurred vision so was taken off.

Howe confirmed today it was an eye / vision issue and they didn't want to risk him continuing

 

[Magnet]

or he’s swimming in the Amazon and 1000 piranha get a whiff of him.

Or he’s camping in the Serengeti National Park and there’s a bunch of lions sunbathing nearby.

 

[haslam]

Willock was awesome last weekend by the way. Doesn't get the plaudits that Barnes will but I assume you all saw this?

Tbf that's not a bad shout. We do have a need there to get Isak some more support. If it's not working then switch it up. He'll certainly rough their defenders up a bit at a minimum and his finishing is better than it was before he was moved into midfield.
