No-one can really agree on who are best players were today, which probably speaks volumes about the standard of play in the team as a whole.

Today and Birmingham are another example of Geremi starting, and us getting some sort of result this season.

I thought the most pleasing part of the game was the intelligent movement of some of our players, in particular Enrique seeming to adopt the right positions on and off the ball with Barton in front often cutting inside, Butt dropping deep at all times, Owen and Viduka coming deep to collect the ball from midfield. The formation wouldn't have worked otherwise.

Did you see the game? Yes How can you give Geremi 8 and Beye 6? should be the other way around. Corners aside, Geremi played an intelligent game and played quite a few good and important passes that led to goals/chances. Beye's slightly suspect positioning got a bit exposed with just the 3 midfielders instead of four. Not a bad game though.

Did you see the game? Yes

Bullard. Sounded like he had a crack from 35 yards every time he got it. Pretty much dictated the Fulham tempo which had us under the cosh at times. He played like the player we wanted Barton to be this season.

Harper 6 Beye 6 Taylor 6 Faye 7 Enrique 7 Geremi 8 Butt 7 Barton 7 Owen 7 Martins 6 Viduka 7

Bullard.

Finally got around to voting: No.

Or maybe not. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we had a more experienced defender on the bench, I'd bring them on for Geremi now. I'd seriously think about Carroll on for Viduka too.

I think I'd take Geremi off now, he's tiring. EDIT: Martins deserved to go off on the basis of performances today though.

Owen, Geremi, Butt and Barton have really kept the team going forward with real purpose and dare I say it creativity. Some of the teams movement going forward has been the best I've seen from us for some time.

Excellent build up to the disallowed goal.

All of our players are playing well, but Bullard has played better than all of them. If he shows that he can stay fit until the end of the season, I'd like to see us make a move when Fulham get relegated.

When we signed Barton, didn't Dr. Spectrum say that Barton only plays well against Fulham and Boro?

Just my honest opinions of what I've seen of the game. Don't care if you don't agree.

So is Bianca aswel ! They had a child called Rolando Bianchi

Thats bullshit tbh.. Please elaborate...

Having a goalkeeper as one of your worst players is a good thing, as it means that he has had little to do.

Players in order of best to worst first half: Geremi Butt Viduka Faye Beye Enrique Owen Barton Taylor Harper Martins Usually I'd only be happy with the first few people on that list, but I'm happy with all the players so far.

The players are moving around very well and slotting into spaces left by others. Geremi has been in the middle, on the right, and at right back.

The goal. Very clever play and well taken.

Excellent first 10 mins. Hangeland is shit.

Well if we win with the teams from left to right, I won't complain, having them from right to left hasn't helped us this season, and perhaps this new method will make a real difference to how we play. ()
