Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v Fulham

I'm saving my anger for rads & co

 

Got a feeling we are gonna smash them

Come on lads, **** em up

 

There is a disparity between points and what happens on the pitch. Bamford scores sitter at palace, we very likely win there. There are examples of similar in every game. No one has battered us, we’ve had periods of games where we’ve been in the back foot and periods on the front.

The managers that get sacked are often the ones where the players have let them down, rather than vice versa. If paddy could hit a barn door and rod/llorente/sinisterra not had brain farts - then we’d be sitting midtable and none of these discussions about systems not working, clueless managers etc would be happening. But hey Sides towards the bottom of the table always have hard luck stories.

A legitimate question to ask is whether our players are good enough to implement the ‘plan’ and the mistakes are happening because of the system. It’s also legitimate to question whether the system is viable long term against the higher standard of players in the PL.

But it’s equally legitimate to point out that a squad with a valuation towards the bottom of the league has actually played like a midtable side (according to all the parameters that people within the game use to assess performances - not results). So you can say the system is actually lifting performances above the level expected of the playing staff. Now we did that under bielsa, lots of other teams do it. I’m not saying hey Jesse’s doing a great job and results don’t matter.

The main concern is that sides that continually shoot themselves in the foot, lose belief in themselves, the system and manager and performances slide. If that has happened, well then there’s often no way back.

 

Davy has landed.. Late but on his way. Some not so lucky.

 

If there is doubt in the board room then they will have hopefully contacted Corberan and told him to hang back, he his applying his trade in Greece I believe at Olympiakos so he’s no mug, let’s see.

 

Olympiacos
On 1 August 2022, Corberán was appointed head coach of Olympiacos. He was dismissed from the Super League Greece title holders on 18 September, having won twice in 11 games, lost both UEFA Europa League fixtures and ranked fifth in the table.

 

Thunderbolts and lightning….

 

Jammy Junior struggling as well....jeez why today FFS.

 

Davy and me have joined the west of ireland on their coach to the ground.

 

You’ll be able to live stream the game on FFCTV, Fulham’s own live video service. A monthly pass with FFCTV costs £5

 

Very, very frightening me.....

 

Are you hinting that we have 3 new players making their debuts today, Scaramouche, Gallileo and Beelzebub.

Beelzebub should scare most defences, Gallileo with his vision should be able to pinpoint any pass, and Scaramouche will mean that we have Kiko the Clown back in goal

 

Another Deaf School fan, or mere coincidence?

 

Greenwood in for Adams

 

Adams is obviously injured as he’s not on the bench but it’s a bizarre call. Ayling for Kristensen too, odd.

 

JM does seem to rate Greenwood
Yes, 6 changes from the Leicester starting 11

 

This is make or break for the gun slinger, I wish him well.

 

Greenwood for Adams is an odd one. Rodrigo starting as well.

This could well be a nail in the coffin

****ing hope not, we need 3 points today!

 

Ayling, Koch, Cooper and Struijk in defence today. Yay!

 

Rodrigo in for BAmford but no Tyler Adams. Greenwood gets the nod
