Is the game on any channels today? Can't seem to find it on Sky or ESPN :(
 
Torres looking sharp today. A brilliant Stockdale save denied him a brilliant goal.
 
I was looking forward to half time from about 30 mins in it was that boring. We NEED to play higher and press more otherwise nothing will happen in this game. If it carries on like this with no changes to tactics/players, then I see a 0-0.
 
This has been terrible today. Sad to see Torres looking quite sharp in the first half, only to be let down by snail paced passing a real lack of service. Watching him to have to drop deep and try and beat 3 men to get himself a chance just emphasises why we need to rebuild.

******* **** there is no way in **** that with this squad we will win anything, clearly we were playing to slow in the first half yet we continued this in the second half, the pressure increased the slightest in the second half but still fulham had way to much time on the ball. fulhams goal was very easily preventable and shouldnt have never gone in but in saying that we didnt deserve the victory and full credit to the cottagers the frustrated us and played very well,
also a little side note: kerim frei, watch out for that young lad got bags of potential.
 
Jeeeeeeeeeeeez! It's boxing day, we always play **** on boxing day. Meh game.
 
I wonder if a trio of Hulk, Mata, Sturridge is really what we want for Torres. Hulk is a great player but like Sturridge he's a real inside forward; if Mata gets marked out of the game then we're going to struggle. It's really risky to put all your creative energy into one player like that and getting Hulk seems like we'd be going back to the old Chelsea way of speed and strength over technique. If AVB wanted that I don't know why he'd start changing our playstyle as radically as he did at the start of the year.

I honestly don't mind either way but I want an end to this bs that's going on where we're stuck between 2 styles and 2 squads. Torres isn't suited for the old Chelsea way or the 4-3-3 so it looks very much like we're moving towards a 4-2-3-1. That's great if we carry on playing a technical game but if we get Hulk and presumably go back to playing quite a physical game then we're playing a certain style with a mismatching formation+striker.

[Hulk is the top scorer in my funny named team in fm2012 though: other players include Victor Moses, Xavi Torres, Danger Fourpence, Eden Hazard and Jesus in goal.

Hulk possesses not only speed, but a lot of technique I must say. So bringing Hulk wouldnt affect badly our current style.. not quite.
