How we all feeling about tonight?
Lawro has predicted a 2 nil home win and in theory that sort of score should be a shoe in.
Somehow I doubt it will pan out quite like that, because West Ham.
COYI.
Rather depends which West Ham turn up - hopefully the same one that were unlucky against L'pool a couple of weeks ago.Lawro has predicted a 2 nil home win and in theory that sort of score should be a shoe in.

Appears we might have some players back & hopefully might see something of Lanzini.
Looking forward to it. Boozer for 17:00.
COYI!!!

I think we will win 2-0 tonight dependent upon, as TC says, which Hammers turn up.
Will also depend how Fulham decide to play it.
They’re in desperate need of wins, so will they sit back and try and nick one, or go all out from the start to get ahead?The second might play into our hands better than the first.
Either way I expect them to be trying to get balls in the box for Mitrivic as often as poss.

Kissthebadgethumpthechest still on the bench ... he’ll be spitting feathers !!
Probably our strongest bench in a long time.
Nasri and Lanzini also on the bench... Probably our strongest bench in a long time.

Strewth ! that's a bad one.
I don't like to see that. Many will say what goes 'round comes around and to a degree that's true. Last time we had a goal scored against us by Liverpool that was "only" 6 feet offside so some say it balances out but that doesn't help Fulham. One assumes next season VAR will sort this out. What an odd game.
They could have been 2 or 3 up while we was still at warm weather training. For any young keeper, that one on one save from Fab right at the start should be watched over and over again, he simply refused to go early and made Babel overthink it.
Rice played the first 20 minutes like he felt he had the burden of the whole world watching to see what the fuss was about, and then became the player that the fuss is all about.
Fulham should have carried on going at us when they were one up,instead they sat back and only showed enterprise again at 2-1 down, and that was always going to leave them open if we could to the basics of keeping the ball going forward, which we only managed to do with the perfectly timed subs and swap of personnel.
Lovely to see Manny back, and playing in his best position behind the striker and Marco ran the channels well when he came on. Would love to see how many yards Ant ran tonight, he certainly deserves his bath tonight.

Certainly an odd one - dreadful first 10 mins, watching Zaba fall apart wasn't great; top marks to Fab again. They could have been 2 or 3 up while we was still at warm weather training.

Properly scrappy goal, solid header & s
te defending for our second and really should have got our third before HT. Poor in the second half - particularly Anderson, subs well made & third goal was a bit inevitable in the end, quality finish from Ant.
