Fulham vs. Crystal Palace League Cup match thread

[NEILLO]

What better teams dont miss they do alot . Because better teams would score 8 per game at least against anyone but they dont . I really hate that statement because there's no proof they would have scored them chances . If your Aunt had bollocks she would be your Uncle but she not . She still your Aunt . We scored they didn't

The better teams convert a higher percentage of the chances they create. Otherwise they wouldn't win so many games.

You might hate that statement but it's a fact.

Explains our two-bob defending.

Ask Alan Mullery, on that day in 1976, he certainly had a pocket full of coins (IYKYK)

Probably his month's wages.

We need to play our best team and I agree with the 433 that was posted earlier.
Hendo
Minguez
Mitchell
Richards
Disasi
Wharton
Kamada
Timber
Pino
Sarr
Mateta

This is a decent side, capable of beating any team.

Especially when attacking teams employ blocking tactics to prevent defenders being able to defend their zone properly

There's blocking and there's wrestling the defender five yards off the pitch which was what Fulham did on a couple of their 'clear chances'
Had they scored and dare I say with the hated VAR they would likely have been disallowed anyway .

Be happy with that save Sarr is probably 'injured'. In which case be tempted to push Kamada up and use Hughes.

No VAR until the semis in this competition.

Man city score all there shots chances no . 2 games 30 shots only 2 goals with 70% procession . There strike rate is below 20% this season . So they need 5 chances to score 1 on avg . And the 2 games they needed 15 to score one .So playing a better team doesn't mean they will take them chances
