Not often that a red card gets overturned on appeal, in these days of VAR. Even more so now that the pitchside monitor is used. Effectively the appeal panel have said that two referees were wrong. What's more annoying is that a second yellow would gave achieved the same outcome - ie a red card and a one match ban - and Fulham wouldn't have been able to appeal that.
He was such a good player. So disappointing he was playing under such horrendous managers for us. (koeman aside). He and Graziano were a joy. Fascinated to see how Diallo gets on this weekend. I've really liked the small glimpses we've seen so far. I'd also like to see: Adams Theo Redmond Diallo jwp Armstrong As our attackers if Ings is injured. I personally love djenepo, but I think redders and Armstrong are more disciplined on the wings and have a strong link with the fullbacks
I'm not fussed about the news that Redmond hasn't trained this week. But the same thing for Vestergaard is a blow. Being without him, Ings and Romeu would leave huge shoes to fill. Maybe finally time for Salisu?
Ings, Vestergaard and Redmond all currently injured and not training - all doubts for Fulham. With Romeu already out we could see a new look team.
That's arguably our best players this season down the spine of the team out. Ings, Romeu and Vester. What with Fulhams captain and best defender also having his red card rescinded, it feels like our chances are getting worse by the minute.
Plus only Romeu is 100% out, Vesty and Ings still have 3 days, although I think Ings will be rested either way.
I agree, and I would worry that if Salisu doesn’t start this one, there must be a real problem with him. Whatever Ralph does is fine with me though, I think he’s probably earned our trust by now!
