      The current first 11 are obviously struggling with tiredness as well as form, so I would rotate heavily for this one (and then rotate back to the first 11 for Leipzig). And as well as adding physical freshness, it might change the psychological rut we've got into the last few weeks. And hopefully bring 2 or 3 players into the reckoning to be regular starters. So I'd go -

                        Alisson

      Neco   Nat    Davies     Tsimikas

             Ox    Milner  Keita

              Shaq   Origi   Jota


      Obviously it's a bit risky playing so many 2nd string guys, but the performance against Chelsea was so lacking in belief (and we've been stuck in this rut for so long now) that I think Jürgen needs to take more risks and give our back up guys a chance to change the dynamic. (And since heavy rotation makes sense anyway with only 2 days recovery from the last game, this is the perfect time to take that risk).

      Feck it, rest some;

      Trent - Phillips - Davies - Robbo
                     Fabinho
                 Keita  -  Thiago
                      Shaqiri
                   Origi - Jota

      No not at all but having 4 players who haven’t played in the same side before in a EPL game is dicing with death, there is no substitute for experience but you have none in your back 4, if Jürgen fielded that defence you would be the first to slate him, I’m all for trying different things but ffs we need players who know what’s expected and how to deal with it ?

      OK fair point, so play one half Trent one half Robbo or one game each, but start to rotate some players Jürgen ffs!

      We have for some reason performed better in the CL this season as opposed to our league form, so no I can’t see us throwing a 2-0 lead away against a side who were inferior to us first leg.

      cough cough Atalanta, cough cough!!

      Agree we need to ring some changes.
      And with the Leipzig game soon after, I think that makes them likely.

             Alisson
      TAA Nat Fab Tsimikas
       Keita Gini Jones
       Salah Jota Shaq

      Mane and Bob poor midweek. And we need to freshen things up top anyway. So start Shaq and Jota.
      Would start Keita. And Gini to balance what might be lack of legs in Naby. Wouldn't go near AOC. So between Jones/Thiago and I'd probably go for Jones to be positive.
      I'd have no problem starting Nat/Kabak and pushing Fab into the middle - but if Kabak out, starting Davies is a big risk given Jürgen hasn't even brought him on as a sub - and we're not out of the top4 yet.
      Robbo hasn't looked himself, TAA either - but not mad on Neco, though would give Tsimikas a run.

      If we start the same front three and the same middle three [pretty much] can't see us win.
      Will be bizarre if Jürgen doesn't mix it up for this one.

      you are resting the wrong players, its Trent and Robbo who need a rest more than the forwards although I'd be quite happy to drop Bobby and Mane on current form.

      It seems some you mad buggers are or have taken your eye off the ball, we are still in with a more than reasonable chance of a top four spot, so for me that is our No 1 priority, and as such I want to field as strong a side as possible albeit with I hint of a risk......


                          Alisson
            Trent Phillips Davies Robbo
                          Fabinho
                Thiago            Keita
                            Jota
              Salah                 Mane


      Yes, yet another new CB pairing that’s the risky but, but this time with the excellent Fabinho in front protecting, basically what we have is five defenders & five attackers, I don’t expect Fulham to come out and attack us too often but we have enough protection if they did, but I want them concentrating on us attacking them and trying to keep us out,

      Never mind the CL atm, we’re almost through anyway so emphasis is qualification for next season, just in case we don’t go all the way this year, anyhoo, Fulham will come full of their London pride and think they can replicate the losses we have suffered of late, they are a decent outfit under Scot Parker however the league table doesn’t lie and we SHOULD be too good for them , even in our shambolic state, this run of defeats has to end and they will, starting on Sunday.

      Except Robbo may need a rest as much as anyone.

      Fully expect Milner to play either at left back or midfield. Not sure if Tsimikas is fit. He didn't make the bench Thursday although I think I saw him being given a blanket by a staff member so I guess he wasn't ill.

      Why drop Thiago ? The only reason if he is not selected will be be rested . Just as a matter of interest why would you drop him ?

      agreed, got to play fab in midfield as when he breaks up the play he's got a quick forward ball. We will concede so must start scoring again so has to drop Bobby he has been dreadful for a while now

      Yep Parker has got them playing well so this would be tricky even if we were in good form.

      They were robbed of an equaliser against Spurs as well because of a horrific decision.

      They've already outplayed us once this season and would have won if it wasn't for a shady penalty for a hand ball in the wall.

      100%, we have to freshen it up.

      All I care about is Fabinho in midfield plus Keita and Jota starting.

      If we do that then the dynamic will change completely - please Jürgen - CHANGE IT UP
