Right this sh*t is getting serious
11 goals conceded in our last two games (both at ER an'all)
Time to dig in and fight for PL survival or throw in the towel and disappear back down to the Championship (or worse)😱😱😱
Fulham
Not interested in them dont give 2 flying you know what about them, dont even care that the famous 8 handed, 5 legged, renowned world cha-cha dancer Douglas Bader was born right where the hammersmith stand was built.
12:30 KO Saturday morning lads, we all know that the team is going through a rough spell at present so we need to stand together and support them all the way.
The stat are telling us
Win probability for Fulham is 40%, Leeds 28% and the Draw is 22%
Fulham currently 10th 42 points GD +1 (30 games played)
LUFC 16th 29 points GD-20 (31 games played)
Fulham home record 12th in the HOME table
Played 15, Points 22, Goals scored 21, Goals Conceded 21
LUFC Away Record 17th in the AWAY table
Played 15, Points 9, Goals scored 18, Goals Conceded 30
Fulham last 5 games
WLLLL
scored 5 conceded 10
LUFC last games
LLWLW
scored 9 conceded 17
Bookies
Fulham 11/8
Draw 5/2
LUFC 19/10
Looking at just those stats you gotta say Fulham should be shorter priced and at home with leeds being so poor away all season 11/8 looks overpriced.
Javi has been in charge of LUFC for 8 PL games and in that period LUFC are 20th in the goals conceded table
18th for expected points
17th for expected goals
16th for expected goals against
They are not the standings that are acceptable for this great Club but we must draw a line and start these last 7 PL games and treat them all like 7 cup finals if we are to ensure survival for another year. I still feel the 4 games against Fulham, Leicester, Bournemouth, and wet spam will define what position we finish on May 28th, but JG and the players MUST get something from Saturday otherwise we could already be on the downhill heading in the same direction as Forest & Southampton.
Teamsheet
need to change IM, - Robles to come in
Need Coops STARTING
Kristensen must NOT play (at all), i wouldn't put him on the bench personally
Aaronson see RK above
Adam Forshaw, Wober & Cry (if fit) must start, if they aren't fit don't give them a place on the bench promote one of the young lads, its not rocket science.
Fit = play
Not fit = Not on bench (simples)
Bull's heart says 3-1 leeds
But the head is telling me put down a score draw on my betting slip.
Take a point and 2 wins from the following 2 games = 36 points and down to last 4 games of the season, by then 1 team will be gone and 1 more on the verge, but we should have some breathing space "if" we are sitting on 36 points travelling to the emptyhad. Bull is a stubborn old *ucker so i fully intend to be here typing bulls*it till then.
MOT
Well that was b0ll0*
more effort having a sh*te after a feed of Guinness.
Dont win tomorrow night we are gone simple as
Did anyone see the deliberate back pass yesterday to their keeper after 15/20mins ?
Nobody seemed to see it. I had to rewind and it was a DEFINITE DELIBERATE BACK PASS!
NONE of our players called for it and I didn't hear our fans or commentators calling for it.... am I going mad or did I miss something there?
Very fkn weird....
Man city away is going to be brutal. Tickets on sale on Wednesday, Roll up roll up.
Today was just the game we needed...a midtable side, not quite on the beach but certainly flicking through the footballers overpriced luxury holiday magazines, not in any discernable form and with their major goal threat suspended.
Three points there for the taking. Just prepare properly, pick your best players, keep it tight and notch a couple at the other end.
FFS
Or alternatively
Pick Rasmus who has conclusively proved he's a poor full back.
Pick Weston who is £36m overpriced at £35m
Pick Aaronson who's not had a good fame yet.
He looks like an 8 year old playing u15 cos they where were one short and my little brother ca make up the numbers.
Play our best CB at left back.
Have no real plan.
Just shocking plop...again.
Tuesday
Meslier in goal. Get his head right
Paddy up top.
Willy in the team for JH (missing in action again today).
Pick a midfield pair who are going to try a bit harder please.
Kick Harvey Barnes to bits (assuming he is fit) before he scores a brace as usual.
He'll still score on crutches.
Leeds this is getting very serious now, wake up before its too late, Plymouth away awaits the relegated giant.
Pessimism now out the door.
Positive til Tuesday...and beyond hopefully.
It's unbelievable how quick we have turned a club united to a club faling apart at the seams.
I agree with everything said below about the American duo, if you took the best bits from both and made one player that player would still be 5h1t.
Atmosphere was terrible too but no bloody wonder. What the manager is thinking is beyond me.
Orta out chants was the highlight of the day.
Well bull you put more effort in than the boys on the pitch did unlucky
Anything less than a win against Leicester, and we’re going down. And that’s close to official. Oh my, what is happening to this football club of mine…..
Lost complete faith in the manager. Team selection is inexplicable. How is Aronsen, Kristensen starting after their recent dire performances. Why is Willy on the bench... Basically can someone explain tactically what the f*** is going on in Javis head.
It's so depressing and can't wait to see the back of this season and hopefully the owner and Victor.
What the fck is going on with Gnonto? In great form before Gracia turned up, ok got a bit of an injury from the internationals, but when he comes on, no spark, no direct runs. I'm at a loss!
The only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that the four teams below are also playing crap. It’s a major malfunction.
Can someone explain to me how on earth McKennie stayed on the pitch for 80 minutes? We certainly had a number of poor performanes out there but he simply stood out. Just awful, clueless.
Now if you don't notice that as a coach... I simply despair.
It's also not helpfull when keep your most creative players on the bench until it's too late.
Anyway, as per usual we succesfully succeeded in ending another opponent's poor form.
Think this will be it...
Can anyone tell me what Aaronson gives to this team? Can't believe he's still starting. McKennie likewise. Roca not good enough either.
Surely worth trying Greenwood and Gyabi, who must both be despairing getting a game, when even Forshaw gets in ahead of them after so long out.
Feeling extremely negative after that.
Once again that massive hole was in the middle our the park. Roca, Mckennie, & Aaronson the problem as they had poor touches, slow passes, out of position and silly fouls. Sunday league performances by the 3.
Too slow, no fight, can’t find a man with a pass, can’t defend, keeper?, This, once again, is a performance of a team who will be relegated. Can anyone see where the next point will come from?
The MDT claims another victim. 😞
This team are just not very good at the moment!
An absolutely rubbish half of football.
Probably just what we needed after the last 2 games!!!
Let's see if anybody wants it/cares in the dreaded second half.
Bull - If this MDT gets us 3 points I will personally support EVERY post in future from you with a 💛💙🐂 icon - just to show how much I've been wrong about you and your posts.
"In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" - our season depends on you and your belly full of Guinness......
