At least Real Madrid also get their fair share of calls so at least it's not just one team haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEvans Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Same old Fulham. Lose two matches in a row when they actually matter. We lost 1-0 Derby in a pretty poor performance. Certainly a scoreline we can overturn but I dont expect us to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just such a completely expected but still disappointing result. There is just something about this squad that feels like it cant handle the big moments. It's only a 1-0 deficit though, let's see what we've got on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr LBC Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Ornstein had been touting it as a done deal all the way back to late April, but sounds like PSG may be prepared to announce Tuchel as their next manager on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I won't be surprised to see Tuchel's system work in Ligue 1 - but that may be more down to PSG's talent on the roster, not sure it translates the way they want it to into CL.

Doesn't really matter. PSG is head and shoulders above the rest of L1 on talent alone (that's what happens when you have 5 times the budget of your competitors). Tuchel success or failure will be defined in the CL. Save for an exceptional year of Monaco/Lyon/Marseille their national title isn't in trouble.

The streak didn't last one more game! Levante won 5-4 in the second last game of the season, after not having beat Barca since 1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEvans Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Fulham managed to turn it around and win 2-0 and advance to Wembley and the playoff final. Finally had the performance I had been waiting for. Came out and attacked from the opening whistle and just really had an energy around the side that had been desperately lacking. It was one of those games where you could just tell that if we could get the first goal then the next wouldn't be far behind. Thought we were pretty dominant tonight although Derby had a handful of chances. I'd say we were probably the better side over the two legs. Rowett's set up tonight was very questionable. He set his team up very defensive and dropped the league's leading scorer and played for clean sheet and didn't get it. Excited to see who we get in the final, going to be a very unenjoyable 90 minutes, this tie was already nerve wracking enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats man! Seems like the two sides who advanced deserved it both over the season and over the two legs. Should be a great final for the neutral but I'll be a nervous wreck. We beat you guys not too long at the Cottage but this is a whole different ball game. You've definitely got experience on your side, if we can play the way we did in the second leg I think we can take it. Whether or not that happens is a completely different thing though, I'd say it's 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
