Pizy 18,926 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 Sounds like Lavia is out again this weekend. It’s starting to get super frustrating now. He picks up an injury seemingly every 2 matches and misses time. He’s such a talent and makes everyone’s life easier but just cannot stay fit. And he’s only 20 years old! How is someone so young so injury prone? bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,278 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 With all this injuries, Im not too confident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted December 20, 2024 Author Share Posted December 20, 2024 Just Badi, Fofana, and Lavia injured and Cucu suspended. We will have a full squad with plenty of depth. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have a full squad with plenty of depth. Lavia & Cucu both being out for this one could hurt us if Everton setup to counter attack, I guess. But tbh if there’s any opponent that you could hand pick to be missing a few defensive players against it’s this current Everton side who can’t score goals. I think I heard that they had like 25% possession against Arse the other day. We know they can’t score to save their lives but are also very solid defensively at times.

Bluepower777 36 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 Everton away and all these unavailabilities is s bit of a worry. Wonder who will start. Of course we do have depth too. Bad year for keepers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mário César 1,278 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 We need a cb next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,326 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 We really need Lavia here to play so we can put in defense Caicedo, Tosin, Colwill and Gusto. Otherwise we're fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Neto, Sancho, Jackson, and Palmer starting, I think our offense will be fine. Midfield will be fine. Cucu will be missed the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) Not great to hear Badi and Fofana are put for at least a month. For me, this pushes up the need for a CB. We already needed this, but of fitness is also going to start to be an issue, then we will need to push this up. Either way, here is my predicted line-up: Sanchez Gusto Tosin Colwill Veiga Caicedo Enzo Neto Palmer Sancho Jackson I think we will end up with something like the above as: a) I can't see us moving Caicedo out or CM without Lavia b) Gusto hasn't been great out on the left c) Veiga's height will likely be beneficial on set pieces. This said, I hate playing Everton away. It is something like 1 win and five losses in the last seven games there. This really isn't as easy a game as some have made out in the media.

Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 Think we'll get the three points but will concede as per usual and make a meal out of it. We should change our nickname to 'the chefs'. We make a meal out of most matches ZAPHOD2319, Vesper, bigbluewillie and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,926 Posted December 21, 2024 Share Posted December 21, 2024 If we win this tomorrow we can effectively completely dismiss City as a threat to us this season. Before fucking Christmas! Imagine telling any of us after that first match of the season when City beat us while barely breaking a sweat that we could be 10 points clear of them by Christmas and that they would be in a serious fight just to finish 4th. It would literally sound impossible! All 3 points here would give us a ridiculous cushion and margin for error in our quest to secure UCL football. Must win game for me.

nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted December 21, 2024 Share Posted December 21, 2024 Quite worried about Lavia.. He doesn't even have 50 professional appearances by his name yet and constantly in and out with injuries.. It's already end of December in his second season for us and hasn't spent 500 minutes on the pitch yet. Is he ever going to be ready to play 40-50 games a season?

Nero 1,874 Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 I hate it so much when I wake up at 5 a.m. on a sunday. The waiting time until the Chelsea game... it's toooooo long 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s even more reason to bring Andrey Santos back. With him in the squad we can carefully manage and rotate Lavia much more easily. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,326 Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 (edited) Colwill LB or Gusto while Disasi is RB? Why we have Veiga and Chilwell if you can't trust them? Also like to see Casadei getting advantage over KDH. Just superior player. Edited December 22, 2024 by NikkiCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
