Fulham looked more up for it than we did. Parker and Sidwell bossed the mIdfield. Not helped by the ref with the penalty given and the one clear cut one not given for us.

He was at fault for the first goal and a bit clumsy for the penalty decision. A lot of stick for Herd on here and i don't think he can be faulted for either goal. Berbatov running the show. Herd can't be blamed for the second but the first he's standing next to Clark, what great positioning for a CB! He was massively out of position chasing after the ball like a headless chicken, again, which left a huge gap for Fulham to slip through. Bacuna didn't do well in this situation, he maybe should of challenged Sidwell, but the blame then shifts to Guzan for coming out, there's no need. If he stays on his line, Sidwell chips it gratefully into his arms. And as for the penalty, clumsy? Yep, very clumsy running in a straight line and not lunging in in the box! Ok can't understand why he's cb anyway. Stupid decision when you have two cb's in the team.

Yes i think that could be the formation. No way will Herd play cb in a back 4.So either left back or part of a back 3.

Its a difficult one. A few weeks ago i was certain Palace would go. Sam is messing things up at West Ham and they have a tough run in so woudn't be surprised if they went. Cardiff are on a dodgy run. Sunderland have been playing well but not getting the points so think they will pick up.

Great goal. There was no mention of Chambers who is only 18 on MOTD but he was outstanding in that game. I think Shaw should be in the England squad. He's good enough. To me Cole will be found out. Against Germany he was a ,iiability at times. Hope Hodgson is brave enough to make the tough decisions.

Haven't they got one but he plays for Everton!

Yes thats the thing. Kozak scored and all credit to him but his hold up play is poor compared to Benteke's and he doesn't win as many headers.

Yes they'll just bat for 30 or 40 minutes until Warner gets his ton. They have more than enough runs already. Can't say I'm looking forward to Johnson running through us again. Hopefully we'll make a better fist of it. If kp gets caught at midwicket again .........

100% right! Hawking is done remarkably well considering.

Harsh yes but Benteke must start i think!

Mcleish perfect fit!

Maybe the same 11 but not the same positions. In defence anyway!

me too, i think this stuff about them not having played the top teams is a nonsense because the way things are panning out all they have to do is keep beating the rest.

Nah he wont come back he's enjoying his retirement too much. He has nothing left to prove or achieve.

class goal

Yes i'm sick of managers getting sacked just before they play us.

He looks very down to me in his press interviews. Dead man walking!

Have to say Southampton have two great young english fullbacks. Chambers was great today!

yes didn't work for me three times

I can't believe they'll stick with him for too long. United have problems but they are better than their current position.

I don't know but i remember they were struggling in 89/90 season I think and we beat them 3-0 at home. We finished 2nd and united were below us that season.

Yes but Jeetan has a really poor test record for New Zealand. Good county player but not good enough for test cricket imo.

Vlaar isn't definately out yet is he?

No the opposite as it gives hope for clubs like us!
