Can't add anything to what's been said on here already. Probably the best half of football since we've been in the Prem and, for a change, much better than usual game management 2nd half ( although set pieces remain a problem). Scintillating stuff, pace, power, controlled aggression, intensity, skill. Difficult to pick a man of the match, MGW ran the midfield with great support from Yatesy and Danillo. The full backs, Neco especially, were superb, the young Centre Back pair very steady against a good Fulham attack.
Our old friend "Plankov" showed again what a great job he's doing and Sels continues to look the part in goal. The subs did well ( even the unused ones like Turner chucking a second ball onto the pitch to disrupt things a bit (you naughty boy Matt) ?
The ground was rocking before, during and after the game helped by our early goal. It was good to see an opposition coach having to press the panic button after 30 mins such was our dominance.
I suspect our momentum might well be halted by Spurs on Sunday but they do give you a chance with their high line particularly against our pace. But atm I feel like the U boat captain ( brilliantly played by Jurgen Prochnow) in "Das Boat" when he escapes to safety after being relentlessly depth charged by the Royal Navy. "Not yet Tommie, not yet".
We have given ourselves a chance but, as Mao Zedong said when asked about the effects on Communism of the French Revolution "It's far too early to say ". Coyr! ??????????.

Only seen the brief highlights Stokey, but Danilo has picked up the outside of the boot habit. Is it conceit? Or maybe simply a one footed player who daren't use his other foot? Anyway on Sunday we could always use a joystick, which Ange has been suggesting, to give extra dimensions to our players! Who would you like to control most? For me it has to be Origi! Oh, the wonders we could create!

That's save by Mat "Banks" Sels!

Norfolk mate, Danillo had an excellent all round game, probably the best I’ve ever seen him play. He and Yates covered so much ground and worked incredibly hard, especially in the 2nd half when we were most under pressure. Both great athletes and box to box midfielders.
I watched extended highlights of Fulham’s previous game against the Blades and I was amazed how slow and ponderous their back 4 and holding midfielders were and so it proved against us. Even McBurnie, Benny Osbourne and Brereton, none of them particularly quick caught them out a few times in their 3 all draw. So I was hopeful that Elanga CHO MGW would cause them problems.

I do enjoy reading your posts Stokey! OK, truthfully you lose me for 25% of the time but that's just my ignorance of history. Keep it up mate!

Thanks Legless mate! Don’t worry about the 25% I confuse myself around 100% of the time but I am a great cure for insomnia apparently! ??????.
