** Official Match Thread - Fulham Home (Carling Cup) **

[King Kev]

Petrov to start, Tevez rested.

[Original Dub]

Is that a fact mate or what you reckon?

Sorry mate, I should have said, it's what SkySports News understands.

[kinkylola]

i hope that's a fact ... alot of people think petrov is one dimensional, but that fact is that he beats quiet a few people and has a hell of a left foot on him.

[Moonchesteri]

Bring 'em on! I need us to win, lol.

Oh Manchester is wonderful..

Oh right so...

A little understanding goes a long way. Well it does on SSN - they make a killing off it!

If I was a betting man, I'd say he'll play Tevez. If he hasn't had a reaction to the injury, which has already been stated, this is the exact game-time he needs...

That said, maybe hughes is thinking of having Carlos ready to face his old club, because Ade will be back after that?

i'd be hughes is more concerned with a healthy and rested front two of bellamy/tevez for west ham than he is fulham's academy squad.

This is a very important competition for us.

Anything else you hear is complete bollox. Some of Fulham's better players may well be rested, but they are a premier league side and recent history will tell you that we aren't really that great at winning cups...

I fully expect Tevez to play if he hasn't had a reaction.

So true. For me anything less than a semi final in one of the cup tournaments will be a failure.

i hope weiss plays.

I need him to get game time so the people that make FM see how much potential he has for the next game. coming out soon right?

He's crap in CM2010 too, let's hope he plays soon and bags a hattrick, that might do the job.

I can guarentee that weiss will not start even though i want him to. The kid has got big potential but he will be on the bench and will come on!! What are we going top play? 4-3-3? with same defence except i want to see Zabaleta right back. Same central defenders with Toure and Lescott and why not play sylvinho and give bridgey a rest? And then he will go ireland, dejong,Barry and upfront with bellers,petrov and SWP? Why not hey.

what did I say, what did I say???!!

Nice one Looey LOL

:)

[kinkylola]

i guess tevez needs a bit of time to play himself fit ... I can accept that, I wish petrov got a start, because i think he deserves it ... and I'm very glad to see zabba back in the lineup, say what you want about him ... but he will track back after a forward run, and he will put in a hard tackle. and he doesn't D up wingers like he's playing in the NBA.

I'm looking after Dublin Looey... she'd be lost without me...

But I wouldn't mind being Townley-bound... definitely be over in about a month...

And I mightened come back ;)

Come on City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Tevez was always a starter if fit but Bellers playing is a surprise. I reckon as we don't play next till Monday he has enough rest time. Fingers crossed he comes thru ok. Richards out was the nailed on cert.

good to hear about zabba - hopefully he impresses and doesn't pick up a yellow in the first 20 mins
