We'd have a game in hand though. I don't see us losing. They'll be tired, and we should be full strength with Isak and ASM off the bench.

It's crucial we get the first goal.


They've won 4 on the spin and considering we've only lost once and they're not far behind that should tell you they're a very good side themselves.

This will be a very tough game.

Fulham won 4... against Palace, Leicester, Southampton and Chelsea...

Arguably the 4 easiest opponents right now besides everton because of how **** they are.

Fulham have 3 tough games now.

They've got 31 points we've got 35 and we're having amazing season .

Home advantage is big , but counting chickens is possibly foolish....

There's worse sides got results here.

Agreed. They're good, but we're better IMO.

Their defence is a bit leaky at times. It will be tough but they'll be more tired than us.

Who's better isn't really the point I just think people are counting chickens a bit like before Leeds and Sheffield wed more recently are absolutely ****e in comparison.

If Newcastle don't play at their best and Fulham do they'll get beat.

Let's hope that doesn't happen it's a huge game now for both clubs .
 
Fulham another product of good coaching. Boring saying it, but there's fine margins when a player is good enough to reach the PL and it's then a mix of tactics, playing to strengths, motivation, training ground/management.

Chelsea a great example of how to get it wrong; Potter's not playing to that team's strengths, he's trying to enforce a Brighton model on Chelsea players. Mount out wide? Havertz as a 9? None of it's working.

I watched Fulham get beat, just, by a terrible Man U. Their players are doing well together but individually they're punching above their weight. If we provide that high energy style I don't think they'll live with it; and I don't think they have the players to go backs to the wall, it's not Silva's approach. No games are easy, but the bottom line is if we want to qualify for the CL we should beat Fulham at home.

Edited it for you
 
Everyone bickering about Fulham being alright or not alright.

Just wait for the game
