Does make me think, i know everyone was/is worried what would happen when/if Jesus/saka/Odegaard was injured but We are completely up a creek without a paddle if we lose Ramsdale
I worry more about lack of Partey tbh, our midfield forget how to defend, and our CBs get exposed without him sweeping resulting in more pressure and shots on the keeper from close range. Xhaka has adapted being box to box and doesn’t seem to be able to change back to DM, combined with lightweight Vieira mean we don’t break up play higher up the pitch.Their captain is suspended for return leg, don’t piss about with rotation, start with best 11 get it done in the first half and then sub off at 70mins so okay for Palace at home on Sunday (assuming we haven’t collapsed at Fulham obvs)
We seem to have lost our ability to not concede from corners, not great when facing Mitrovic…

Agreed..would be nice to have a comfortable win..not sure that’s going to happen though!
No, expecting this to be tough…From BBC…
Only Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have earned more points than Fulham's 20 since the Premier League resumed after the World Cup.
The Cottagers have lost just one of their past five home league games (W3, D1)
Good win against a solid team which could have been a potential banana skin.
The players are full of confidence and Jesus back as well, shame he didn't score but he looked his normal self.
Trossard has been a brilliant signing.
Viera winning free kicks after getting tackled by the pitch.
It's looking all good so far.

First half was really quite strange....some of Fulham's play felt like it was a testimonial. What was going on for the defending for Martinelli's header. Team is playing with a lot of confidence and great to see Jesus back on the pitch.
So excited to be going to the Palace game next weekend !

Partey going back towards our goal, pressured by 2 players, surrounded by a couple of more white shirts.
Please don't lose the ball, just get rid for a throw in or else they could get in.
Partey with the don't sweat it skill.

Must admit I'd missed that Eddies injury was serious, I thought I'd seen ankle problem but from today's pre match conference...
on Eddie Nketiah's recovery...
He's getting better. He's still in the boot so still a few weeks away. We need to be patient - it was a nasty injury. It's a challenge that Eddie's got ahead of him, but thank God he could have been worse so he's not in a bad place.
