Fulham away 04/04/09....

[satmann]

Massive game this.

 

Really hope Rafa goes for the strongest team regardless of whoever played internationls in midweek, would say more important than the champions league game.

 

Including Masch who is out of the first leg champions league game despite playing for argentina.

 

We are more or less guranteed a champions league place for next season, would love to see us go for it now with nothing to lose.

 

Team..

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Skrtel Aurelio

Kuyt Masch Alonso Riera

Gerrard

Torres

[el nino laff]

Same team as Vila for me for the rest of the season bar injuries/suspensions.. Lets go all out for these last few games..

Real excited about this game I reckon we beat the by 1 or 2 goals.

[hamstrung]

Masch presumably will have been half way around the world?

[el nino laff]

Ye he's playin Venezuela today. is Lucas still in the Brazil squad? Rafa might go 442 with alonso and gerrard midfield and torres and kuyt up front.

Start with that, go hell for leather get a couple of goals then take off xabi for lucas at about 60 min to rest him for chelsea and if mascha get tired replace him with Jay??

[The 5th Benitel]

I'm just concentrating on preying none of them get injured by then before i even think about the side we put out. I fucking hate internationals.

[philyhamann]

Goes without saying that its a must win game, like the rest of our games, Fulham are a very good side and it'll be tough. Hopefully Murphy will put in a shit house performance.

Chelsea is as of the same importance than Fulham.

[Flying Pig]

Chelsea is as of the same importance than Fulham.

 

I actually think the Fulham game will be more difficult than the Chelski one.

[RobbieOR]

I actually think the Fulham game will be more difficult than the Chelski one.

 

Agreed. But the only thing I'd say about Chelsea is that Drogba's on form and he ALWAYS play's well against us.

[zigackly]

Chelsea is as of the same importance than Fulham.

 

Personally I would far rather keep up our momentum in the league than progress to the next round of the CL. I know it's not an either/or situation, but I would be more gutted about dropping points against Fulham than getting knocked out by Chelsea, and that's honestly how I feel. You might feel different, and you're entitled to of course.

[Flying Pig]

I don't want to jinx anything but am getting exited about the league and the CL. Double anyone?

Spot on Zig. We need to concentrate on the PL now else it could be another 19 years before we have another chance.

I am ultra confident that if we miss out on the PL this year we will walk it next year and years to come. Rafa the man.

Is it fuck. The CL is in our own hands, the league is not.

[The Acolyte]

Its been so long since we were this close. To save some of the players for the CL would be playing into the Mancs hands and we can't have that.

[Trucker Paddy]

Reckon Insua will play with Fabio held back for Chelsea.

[Herp McDerp]

Masch is deffo out right? So Lucas will play?

Masch is'nt out barring injury, hes out of the Chav game through suspension.

[tokyojoe]

Anyone got a spare?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Like any other game, it's crucial we get the first goal in this one.

 

They played well against the Mancs in the FA cup game until they conceeded and folded pretty much after that.

 

I'm pretty sure Fulham are unbeaten at home against the other top four in the league.

 

Absolutely massive game for us.

[Carradona]

Full strength team for every single game we have remaining. That team is:

 

Reina

 

Arbeloa Carra Skrtel Aurelio

 

Alonso Masch

 

Kuyt Gerrard Riera

 

Torres

[fowlerisgod]

Yeah, no matter what, Rafa has to go with his best side.

 

We cannot drop points!

[joeyk]

Who's going ? I've planned this since the Anfield game, 2 mates are season ticket holders at Fulham ( pair of cottagers.. ). Can't wait, hopefully we win and go top, then a top night out in London ! Back of the net !

[philyhamann]

The reason Rafa can not drop players is because Fulham are a very good side, and Hodgson has done well for them.
