Glad to see Ramsey on the bench.

Wouldve personally started with Traore but atleast its an exciting option to be able to bring on at some point.

Trezeguet's on borrowed time as a starter, needs to put in a performance today.

Also didn't realise Fulham have a nipple in goal.

Nice to see Ramsey on the bench - he deserves the opportunity. Not convinced at all by McGinn  and Hourihane in the same line up but hoping we get 60 mins in and then see Traore come on and do his stuff. 
Title: Re: Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: SoccerHQ on September 28, 2020, 04:52:15 PM
Would've liked Traore to start as feels like it will be 60 minutes of Trez just running into the full back and the ball out of play. No El Ghazi on bench is interesting considering he scored the other night. No issue with the other 10.
Title: Re: Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: dave.woodhall on September 28, 2020, 04:52:34 PM
There's something there vaguely approaching strength on the bench. I also wonder at what point this season Ramsey will be in the team ahead of Hourihane.

Me too.  We won the last league game, so I suppose it's fair enough.  Trez is better than El Ghazi, and now knows he can't afford any shit games, which is great for us.

Traore as an impact sub will be perfect for him tonight. Given his lack of game time presently, when Fulham are getting tired, he’ll hopefully be able to tie them in knots.

Hopefully. That is.

No Guilbert, not even on the bench? Something has gone on behind the scenes. Of course, as usual the fans are kept in the dark. Very strange, I'm afraid Elmo isn't the answer going forward.

For whatever reason, and it might be defensive discipline vs attacking ability, oe just experience and leadership, Dean prefers Elmo over Freddie. But I cannot imagine Elmo will be here next season so I can see Freddie and Cash competing long term for the RB/WB position. Freddie has never said he wants to leave so unless the right offer comes in I imagine he will be here this season.
Title: Re: Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: dave.woodhall on September 28, 2020, 05:32:11 PM
It might be something as simple as Elmo being more versatile in that he's played in midfield and central defence.

I was thinking that - maybe Freddie & Matty Cash will be vying for the RB spot, and Elmo is in more of a utility role, filling in where needed in central defence, midfield, etc

Yep. Dean mentioned about Engels at the press conference. The only injuries were him, Tom and Wes

Elmo is also just the epitome of Mr Reliable. A solid pro and while limited, more down to his age he rarely ever lets you down. Not saying Freddie does but Elmo ticks so many boxes. And yes positional versatility is definitely one of them.

It's the obvious first sub to come in anyway. I don't have much faith in Trez but he'll put in a shift anyway and Traore might not be fully fit yet.

McGinn is the one who needs serious improvement today. If he isnt performing then he needs to be replaced, Smith took the very soft option taking Hourihane off first the last day when McGinn was abysmal.
Title: Re: Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Keeno on September 28, 2020, 05:38:57 PM
Looking forward to Traore coming on after 60 mins and running at Bryan. If it's still 0-0 by that point, I think that's when we can win the game.

Long term it will be Traore but it would have been unfair to drop Trez IMO. While he wasn't impressive vs Sheff Utd he also hasn't deserved to be dropped. It's on Trez to keep the shirt now. He knows there is a very good player just waiting to take over.

There's also some messaging going on to the squad-members: "We're going to bring new players in and it's up to you to earn the right to be in the starting XI", and -  to the incomers: "We may have paid a load of dosh for you but you need to prove your right to start."

Got to assume Traore still working up to full fitness, he only managed 70 mins in the procession against Bristol City.  If he's not 100% match fit, I'd rather see him come on for the last 30 mins against a tiring defence, than start and be blowing out of his arse in an hour...

Targett has got to be the worst full back i have ever seen defensively. He doesn't even pretend  to stop the cross. He ambles out, gets to about 2 meters from the attacker and watches him cross it in. It might not be tonight but he will cost us this season.

I've got to say though.. the opposition has to account for Ollie no matter where we're at on the pitch, with or without the ball. Dean is right in saying he is a willing runner. Over the top, through the middle, off the defenders shoulder.. he works his socks off and always put himself in a good position. I hope he bags one today.

I like the look of  Watkins. He gives us a completely different dimension, one that we have lacked for some time. If he keeps going the goals will come.
I think he's great. Creates a load of chances for himself. Really top notch striker.

A special mention for Alan Smith's commentating skills. Some totally inane comments topped off by his take on Joe Bryan's assault on SJM. "it looked a good tackle to me" The ref promptly books Bryan for clattering McGinn. What a tool Alan Smith is.

Excellent first 45. Watkins needs to calm down, the goals will come.

No replacement LB on the bench is an issue because Targett is a headless chicken. He's the weakest link in this team by miles.

Disappointed we are only 2 up to be honest, Watkins in particular has been sloppy with a number of openings and that header he missed was a sitter. Looks a real lively physical threat though.

Couple of misplaced cross field passes aside Jack has been different class. It's like the championship all over again. Running past defenders like they aren't even there. McGinn with two assists on a very welcome return to form. Hourihane does what he does best, goals. Even Trez is doing well.

Targett has been poor but it's the right side of our defence that's been worrying. Mitrovic has bullied Konsa on a few occasions and Cash has been caught out on a few occasions.

On the evidence on this, Fulham are nailed on for relegation so can't afford not to finish this off. Hopefully early on in the second half. Can't see Fulham finishing with 11 either.
Title: Re: Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: nordenvillain on September 28, 2020, 06:49:54 PM
Think Cash needs some criticism as well as Targett. Both of them give the opposition overlapping players too much room and time to get their crosses in. Better teams than Fulham will slaughter us if we give them that much room.

If we’re not looking for a new LB then we should be. I don’t rate either Taylor or Targett, so get rid of one of them and bring in someone else to balance the back four.

Seems like Targett can cross a decent ball on a few occasions. Always looking to score. It’s like there is some kind of split personality. He’s not sure what he is. The Saints fans were not upset he left. He really does look a weakness in our team

Staunton - like Targett - lacked pace.  But he made up for it in his reading of the game.

Targett is shite at that and even one of his perceived strengths - namely his distribution - has gone to pot.
I'm struggling to find many similarities between Staunton and Targett


I would say they are both of an equal quality. Although to be fair Staunton is 51 and Targett is 25  ;)

Fulham look every inch the 2nd division team to me - diagonal lumps int the box hoping the big bloke gets his head on it.  We really do need to stop more crosses coming input most of them are diagonal, it's not like they are getting in behind us down the wings.  It should be easy to defend at this level.

Konsa is brilliant. Held of Mitrovic there well beyond his years

Got to say Konsa has been excellent against Mitrovic tonight, he’s gonna be a star

"Konsa really tight on him" - aka Mitrovic holding him!!

It's nice, because 3-0 up for twenty minutes is exactly the scenario that you want to be bringing a 19 year old in to acclimatise to the team.

One of Trez's best non scoring games for us.

Staunton - like Targett - lacked pace.  But he made up for it in his reading of the game.

Targett is shite at that and even one of his perceived strengths - namely his distribution - has gone to pot.
I'm struggling to find many similarities between Staunton and Targett


I would say they are both of an equal quality. Although to be fair Staunton is 51 and Targett is 25  ;)
Haha! I still know which of the two I'd start.

you were certainly were  good tonight, but i dont think youwill  play such a crappy defence as tonights shower of shite showed tonight, the players you have bought this season will improve your standing in the premiership, as for us it already like a long hard season,

I know a couple of Fulham fans and haven’t heard a positive comment since about a week after the Wembley win over Brentford.
