Fulham playing young Tankovic as the lone striker today.

FFC XI: Stekelenburg, Riise, Burn, Heitinga, Riether, Kvist, Sidwell, Tunnicliffe, Richardson, Holtby, Tankovic.
Subs: Stockdale, Hangeland, Kacaniklic, Cole, Duff, Bent, Parker

Interesting dropping Hangeland for Heitinga. Richardson on the wing to cover JAR I'm assuming...

At least we won the passing, possession, shots on goal and shots on target.

Never heard of him, but that's immediately the best name in football. Is he a beast?

Our opening 3-4 losses were like that

Haha, he's played quite a few of our games recently, but in midfield. He is naturally a striker. Aptly named the 'Tank' but he's not a huge guy. Him and Dembele were scoring for absolute fun in the younger squads.

On the plus side, he can kick the ball really really hard...

Thats a penalty ???

Also Barkley really doesn't know how to pass

Pigeon_Killer · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:17

Great tackle by Cat poo.

[TW]Sponge · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:19

That was not a penalty.

Paddy Power ‏@paddypower 5s

Mark Battenberg didn't think so.

Fumenami incoming.

Great win. Sit down Everton.

Snax · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:19

Oof we got lucky.

Everton deserved the win.

he was one of the better players vs stoke so not that big of a deal

Pigeon_Killer · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:20

Harsh on Everton but having a striker made the difference for Spurs.

cm1179 · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:20

Heh that'll do

Propsmto manu and his effort

Chong Warrior · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:21

That penalty claim there is why my love of football has seriosuly dwindled to the point of I hardly care. I know a lot of my friends have turned from football to rugby as they're sick of all this no contact, simulation BS.

The Everton player should be booked imho, he had no intention of doing anything but going down. Nick the ball first and then take a touch and fall over. Sad thing is it's now accepted as normal and it's cheating in my eyes.

Not just aimed at him, it's aimed at the whole culture of football now. A player should be able to touch another player without him falling over?!

Mr-White · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:22

Great win, a draw would have been a fair result.
