Tottenham vs Fulham 31/1 pre/post match talk

[Colm]

Tough game, Fulham are great at home and we've lost are last 3 visits to Fulham. Hopefully we'll put a change to that on Tuesday. We are starting to show a bit of bad form since we haven't won since Man City so it's important to get a win as quickly as possible.

I reckon if we play well we can get a draw but Fulham being at home could be a different matter

i'll say 1-1 but theres more chance we'll lose than win this game. I'd be pleased with a draw.

thoughts?

Better win.

Fulham looked dog awful on monday night for a long time. We are better, but will we show it?

I hope so!!

[KMJvet]

I pretty much consider this a must win. It's not so much that they've looked bad these past few games. But somehow they've got to transition from just playing well to actually having enough 90-min focus to get the result.

Don't rush Davids...his bones won't knit like an 18-yr-old's.

When is Mido back?

[PoshSpur]

I'm not too sure when Mido is back Kathy? Hopefully when Egypt get knocked out of the ANC.

My prediction: Fulham 0-1 Tottenham

This is a must win. Arsenal are all over the place at the moment and we must continue winning so as to consolidate our position.

[MrTea]

We need to start winning games again if we've any chance of europe.

[Mr. Bee]

Fulham at home and no Mido, I think that this is a Fulham victory 2-1.

Unless Zat Knight is in FFC's starting XI, then its a 2-2 draw or a Spurs win.

Last time around I was pulling for Spurs because of the creep up the table but this time I've got to pull for FFC, their position is more tenuous.

I'd be happy with a good draw with lots of goals though :)

[Spur_Forever]

Defoe has to score sometime. I think Fulham is going to be it. Coming off three bad results, I think the lads are going to be well fired up. 1-2 or 0-2 to the Spurs.

[sendorange]

The lack of someone capable of holding the ball up is really going to hurt in away games. That and the midfield injuries.

We have a better team and should be looking to win, but I have a bad feeling the weaknesses could let us down.

[THFC1]

I also feel if we dont bring in a striker before Tuesday Rasiak will start this one.

Hopefully Jenas will be O.K. to play, its a shame Tainio is out, he was probably our best player against Villa.

It will be interesting to see if Davids plays, right now i dont think he will play but thats Edgar Davids, 5 foot 6 but as strong as a bull.

I think we will win, we have to be aware of Malbranque running from deep.
2-1, Keane and Ledley.

....good point Bee. Zat is basically a taller version of Gardner. I can't believe the both of them were being lined up for an England call-up.

[CelticOnFire]

hahaha I saw Zat Knight play for England in person.

[metropolis2k]

Treasure that memory - it won't happen again!

[Colm]

I'm not looking forward to this

Why do these games like Fulham away have to come now? :mad:

[Joe_Sanchez]

I would be annoyed with less than a win.

This is like Man City away or Villa at home: games that need to be won to hold off arsenal and bolton come May.

Boa Morte and Malbranque have the occasional flash of inspiration, but by and large they look a painfully mediocre team. Table doesn't lie.

But saying that the woeful record we have for winning without Mido (or Kanoute) up front over the past year makes me nervous. That and we're still not as good in London derbies as we should be. Don't think it will be like West Brom as we have Dawson and Ledley at the back, but could be a scrap to get a draw.

For those of you who have British TV - have you seen the new McDonald's add - Something about them doing bagles or something.

Look out for Zat Knight in that ad. It's definitely him!

It's only a matter of time before he scores...if he ever does :(

[PoshSpur]

A matter of time before he scores? Let's hope he doesn't do a Chris Armstrong and go 15 games without scoring.

[Colm]

My confidence for this game aint good (to be fair it aint before any game) but Fulham tend to beat us at there place. I'd love a draw but we're gonna struggle to get one.
