Jase 43,479 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ruiz and Kacaniklic are both out with hamstring injuries and Hangeland is serving his red card suspension(2nd of the 3 games). Big plus for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 another clean sheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Our past performaces against Fulham have been tragic, i don't think we've beat them in the premier league for two seasons now, please change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 3 days to the match, on the end of a bad and tough run of games with a lot of off the field issues. i would have expected squad rotation in normal circumstances but not sure what benitez would do...

Jype 6,398 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 No excuses, this is a game we must win. In recent years Fulham have been a tough opponent for us but with the situation we're in now we can't afford to lose any points here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Not sure about Rafa's rotation tactics so I can't really call this game before I see the lineup. But the pressure will be on Rafa to win this one or it won't be pretty at the bridge at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think Romeu will start, not sure about any other changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Our london derby record so far hasnt been to bad so hope we can carry on with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Will win this. They don't have Dempsey to score fucking headers. Bebratov is a big problem though. If we defend as well as today we'll be fine. The attack needs to improve but I'm sure it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Fulham have become something of an annoyance to us in recent games. We have drawn our last 3 encounters against them in the league(4 if you include the League Cup game last season). Last win against them came in November 2010 where a header goal by Essien gave us a 1-0 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 The most boring derby in the League Hopefully with a happy ending for us. No Dempsey for Fulham, more than brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hangeland and ruiz missing is a huge plus.Kacaniklic too. He has been playing well for Fulham before he got injured against Sunderland the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 No Dempsey and No Dembele is also huge. We just need to approach the game in the right manner and take our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Moses and Marin to start please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It was these type of games which was Rafa's Achilles heel at Liverpool, his previous two clashes at home to Fulham have yielded in goalless draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSanti 290 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 This is a must win. Will be tought though; we need to get winning mentality again and try close the gap between us and 1st place.Hope Lampard will be ready for this one.The most boring derby in the League Hopefully with a happy ending for us. No Dempsey for Fulham, more than brilliant!Altough our recent meetings havent been boring at all so maybye things are changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
