Team changes for Fulham

Sun Sep 22, 2013 8:28 pm

Odemwingie for Bellamy and Mutch for Gunnarsson.

Odemwingie's best bit of play came from a wing-role when he beat his man and then cut it back to Gunnar. Mutch I believe has the potential to be something special and was showing it at the end of last season and now Malky has disgarded him. Time to put him back in the starting 11 IMO.

I'd go as far as Hudson for turner

He won't change it lads. Bellamy will still be there, no worries about that.

And Cowie will come on too, guaranteed.

We could do worse than play Tommy Smith.

why turner has been a rock with caulker, only thing turner needs to calm down on is the long hoof balls, other than that his defending has been top notch

Maybe Odemwingie for Bellamy but he won't change much. I'm not a big fan of he we play but we weren't battered 4-0.

Too much negativity on here. Let's give Malky some credit. Connolly was ahead of John Terry in the EA Sports Premier Ratings after week 2, and just behind Ashley Williams after week 3, yet he dropped him for Kevin Theophile-Catherine as he was looking good in training. We have only played against top 6 teams at home so far, yet we still have 4 points from and with a better ref. and finishing we could have had 7 points. Furthermore, Cowie was top of the Premier Assists table before this weekend, with one of them from his cross in the Hull game for what was arguably City's best ever goal.

I'd quite like to see Whittingham dropped after a performance like this.

I'm sure he completed ONE long pass, I remember him being right near our corner flag(near our own box) and getting it straight to Odemwingie

Agreed cowie will come in, to spoil and break down teams thats what he's for

our defence and keeper top draw yesterday, couldn't fault them one bit, a very very good spurs side worth a hell of a lot of money, if we can keep that spirit up against lower sides we should be fine

Bellamy may not have done a lot with the ball, but without he worked really hard, closing down, running back and helping the full back! Cowie came on just to add that extra bit of running and he didn't do anything wrong!

Maybe Odem for Bellers, but we don't need to change anything else.

Why some people want Turner dropped is beyond me

I like the app/stats, where/what are they from? Makes a good point mind.

Would be great to see Mutch start, a tall midfieder who's good going forward. Change in formation as well 4-1-3-2.

However Malky will probably play one up front as were away from home.

I think Turner's hoofball is more down to the lack of movement in front of him than anything else.

Odemwingie isnt fit enough to start yet

FourFourTwo StatsZone. It's free and has every game in every major league including CL.

The depth it goes into is phenomenal and it's really handy for really dissecting a performance. I believe it's in partnership with opta.

:lol: I could argue that the stats don't lie but even if he did complete 1 it was still a really poor game.

Less than half passes completed and most of the ones he gave away were in the middle. People seem to be getting on Gunnars back but he has a half decent game (stats wise).

Kimbo was our best midfielder. He played really well in all fairness.
