Kieran. 6,317 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Mata's getting a five day rest before the FA Cup semifinal, I think he can tough out one more game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I fear Clint Dempsey. Plus, our record in London derbies this season is just poor, really poor!EDIT: The London Derby Mini League:1. Fulham - P6 W3 D2 L1 = 11 pts2. Tottenham - P6 W3 D2 L1 = 11 pts3. Arsenal - P7 W3 D1 L3 = 10 pts4. QPR - P6 W2 D0 L4 = 6 pts5. Chelsea - P5 W0 D3 L2 = 3 pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Fuck sake another game on Monday.... I dunno what to say, i'll be pretty surprised if we win here tbh. Last year we played em on a Monday night on Valentines day, Luiz gave a last minute penalty away but Cech saved the point in a 0-0er. Torres missed a hat full. Fulham actually look quite good under Jol, quite nice football they're playing now. They must be pretty fresh, will be very difficult. Could lose it.

Steve 10,227 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Fulham are in some quality form and this is going to be so much tougher after some of there current results. Might of only been the last two games but they look so confident going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Fucking hell like a 2 day rest... jesus!. Fucking Fulham aswell always taking points off us, be really good to beat there asses also a clint dempsey own goal please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic weeds 446 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Fulham are in some quality form and this is going to be so much tougher after some of there current results. Might of only been the last two games but they look so confident going forward.They beat Bolton today 3-0 yes, but they got beaten 3-0 at home by swansea some days ago. I would not sy they are in quality form. I think Fulham is a team that is really unpredictable. You never know what is coming. I'll go for 2-1 Chelsea. Apparently, thats the way we play: score, let them equalise and make them believe they can get 3 points. we then hit them on counter attack in the last minute.

BlueJewel 56 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Still think the team can win this tie, the "injured" players could make a return, I think it'll be a scrappy match, I'll personally wish an attack of Torres, Drogba, Sturridge and Mata starts this match. Should in case we go for the long ball option, Drogba can always knock the ball down for Torres, the forward four should switch positions throughout the match to confuse the fulham defenders, I hope Romeu finally gets playing time. I'll go with a line up like this.CechIvanovic - Luiz - Terry* - Cole*Mikel - RamiresSturridge - Torres - MataDrogba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezza 1,965 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think from now on, especially in the EPL, we will see some scrappy football. Just getting in and getting the job done..Im thinking a win. Not without a few yellows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel has been in good form lately and I think he has slightly evolved as a player. Mikel has minimised concentration mistakes and his passing has been more attack oriented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel has minimised concentration mistakes and his passing has been more attack orientedYeah I feel the same way, I was all for getting rid of Mikel but he really has become a better player. He is not world class but generally he is very solid and completes his role well ( something sturridge needs to learn to do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
