OMT Spurs - Fulham

[Robbo]

Will the OMT gods unleash their fury on us if I try to resurrect my pitiful OMT attempt for this game back when it was postponed?

I had a pair just like that, had to stop wearing them when everyone called me Rupert!

Any pics to appease the omt gods???

Good point. It worries me that this match now has two threads, can anyone merge them together maybe? Get all the bad luck in one place

Two negatives...that's a positive! Merge, and we will win this!

Beyond the game on Wed, it makes no difference.
For the game on Wed, neither of us have had much prepare time tactically. I'd argue that that should benefit us on Wed as the game should come more down to natural talent, which would benefit us

As you can tell I had fudge all time to prepare the OMT

Yes, but just on you Robbo

Yes, but just on you Robbo

I'll take one for the team if this is what it takes to win the league.

That's exactly how we should be setting up v teams like Fulham

Exactly. We need creatives . Play BOTH NDombele AND Dele. If Stevie is struggling with a groin issue, we should rest him until he is 100% fit.

No that was back in the day when you only took pictures when you went on holiday and waited a week to get them back from the chemist.

Exactly. We need creatives . Play BOTH NDombele AND Dele. If Stevie is struggling with a groin issue, we should rest him until he is 400% fit.

We will rest Bergwijn if he isn't fit, we have been good with not pushing players this season.

I'm really interested in how Fulham turns ups, how much disruption, were people affected by Covid, etc.

Jose Mourinho on whether it is fair Fulham only had 48 hours preparation: “Are you serious? I had the news I was not going to play them two hours before the game started.” #THFC #COYS

Mourinho suggests another clean bill of health after latest Covid tests: "We are all very, very happy when, like it happened today, we got the results of the last testing and we realise how well we are trying." #THFC #COYS

#thfc Mourinho says Erik Lamela is "legally" available for selection tomorrow but hasn't decided if he will be involved.

But Scott Parker is absolutely fuming at the decision to move the game to tomorrow, describing it as "scandalous", "madness", "not acceptable" and "wrong". https://t.co/smJSxjMv0v

I just finished a long hard cry for Scotty Parker. We should start a go fund me for him. The suffering he has had to endure because of this is beyond what any of us can imagine (and based on posts to do with custard and badgers, that is highly imaginative). Marcus Rashford has officially dumped hungry kids and is now going to focus on helping Parker recover from such a deep wound.

I like Scotty, but he can't be serious here?

- Somehow the same FA that says say play your kids or forfeit in the FA Cup is giving them a chance to reschedule PL games and he wants it at convenient time/notice for them?

After the way the FA screwed us at the start of season, I have no sympathy for this brick ..

Actually, I can see where he's coming from. Fulham aren't exactly going to be playing cup matches towards the end of the season. Hopefully we will be. Therefore, it'd be a lot better for Fulham if they play us when they've got 1 game a week and we've got 2...and they're likely to be important ones too, assuming we get to the Europa SFs.

Parker's a sensible chap but, as manager, he's got to get his team whatever advantage they can get.

Tbf I'd expect Mourinho to be complaining if we had a spare week taken away from us at short notice

(There'd also be more than a couple of posts on here praising him for speaking out about it too)

 

[parklane1]

Managers are no different that fans, they will always find something to bitch about.

 

[Legohamster]

Parker should be thankful that even though they had 14 fit pros they have been given a chance to re-arrange.

He would have played a different side in the cup ? Looks like they still rotated

 

[Trotter]

Scott Parker is totally in the right here.

Fulham played at the weekend, and named their team for that match, not knowing they would have a game this week.
Spurs played at the weekend with a team in preparation for a game this week.

Mourinho comparing to a late postponement, which is maybe something you get for bad weather is with the little respect it deserves, ridiculous and laughable.

A Sunday League team would never be treated so badly as to get 2 days notice of a match, we would be up in arms, and rightly so if the shoe was on the other foot.
