Or perhaps not. But I have been listening to In Utero a lot today and by jove it’s a fine album. Chopper, one day we shall have to engineer a situation in which Nevermind and In Utero go head-to-head in some kind of album battle. My money would be firmly on the latter.
And so much for that. The team play Liverpool tomorrow, and it is going to be very difficult. Here’s the data on Liverpool this year:
The trick with Liverpool is that they don’t let you shoot. And generally speaking, when you do manage to shoot you’re under a lot of pressure because you’ve got Javier Mascherano in your face. Look at the above. Until Bolton last week (and I’m going to guess that someone important wasn’t playing*) only Chelsea had got into double figures for shooting in a game against them. It’s bloody hard.
How does this affect us? Well this year we haven’t taken advantage of our shooting chances, which either suggests that the law of averages is about to turn in our favour or that we’re not going to score. We shall see. But a lot of Fulham fans seem quite optimistic, an optimism I share. Perhaps it’s because Steven Gerrard is out – that helps, although Fernando Torres is due to play – or perhaps it’s a reaction to the recent good form. Who knows? An intriguing game awaits us.
*nope, Alonso and Mascerano both played
