Monday Dugout Discussion

Two games remain in Gameweek 16, with tonight’s match at the Cottage next up on the agenda. Fulham go in search of their first win since Gameweek 8, while Newcastle will be hoping to replicate their result from last Monday evening, which earned the Magpies a convincing win over Wigan. As usual, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open ahead of the 8pm kick-off.

The team news finds an array of changes in Martin Jol’s lineup. The Cottagers welcome back skipper Brede Hangeland from suspension, with Chris Baird and Alex Kacaniklic coming into the midfield and Hugo Rodallega starting up top, presumably with Dimitar Berbatov prompting in a support role. Philippe Senderos, Mahamadou Diarra, Karim Frei, Ashkan Dejagah and Mladen Petric all make way. Visitors Newcastle make just one change – Hatem Ben Arfa returns from injury with Sylvain Marveaux dropping out. A 4-2-3-1 formation is again expected from Alan Pardew’s men, with Demba Ba leading the attack and Papiss Cisse taking up a wider support role.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Berbatov has been immense tonight. Reminds me of when I saw Fulham v Bolton at Craven Cottage in 2007 and Nicolas Anelka was just so much better than every other player on the pitch. Beautiful performance by the Bulgarian this evening.

      Berba was superba. Not so convinced by Colcconi. A threat from Newcastle set pieces, but poor defending Fulham free-kicks and corners.

    A little help here, before I go to sleep

    Do I do AJ->Fellaini today, and then decide how to get Bale later?

    Foster, Begovic
    Rafael, Sagna , Enrique, Demel, Cuellar
    Caz, Michu, AJ, Sterling, Puncheon
    RVP, Berbatov, Suarez

      Nah. Wait on Fella one week as he has Stk away.
      Will be a stingy game that one.
      Then again AJ has MU away... but they leak goals for fun.

      I'm doing the same! I don't think he'll go down more than 0.1. At most 0.2! He's not far away from going down 0.1.
      He may have elbowed Williamson, so he could get sited. I'm waiting for that as well. Haven't had a proper look at it.
