Barry Baker I disagree with all your comments it’s far too early to think of changing the manager it’s our defence and goal keeper that are letting him down the players he has brought in are a big improvement on last season, he has got us playing attacking football and not the boring football we were playing in the past. I don’t think this match against United will decide anyone s job we have seldom beaten United but I think we will at least get a draw and possibly get a win COYW
Baz: In my opinion High Noon for both Carrick and Arbeloa arrives at 4.30pm on Sunday. Big clubs like United seem to use losing to Fulham as a measure of the health of their teams. If United lose Carrick is out during the international break. A draw might save him but would it rescue Arbeloa?
Two points from a possible 15 for Fulham would be a pathetic return and leave no confidence in achieving a minimum of 7 from the following games against the promoted sides. Beating United would rightly earn Arbeloa the time to embed his ideas even if results remain mixed until January. If it’s ‘adios Alvaro’ we can take consolation from some nifty signings. Post AA our new boss is likely to be Thomas Frank (good) with our first choice, should United lose, Eddie Howe going to…Old Trafford.
Think you’re wrong on on at least one of your counts. Arbeola will be measured on the performance on Sunday, after all, we rarely win against United or 3 of the 4 teams we’ve failed to beat this season. United have spent big & haven’t clicked. I doubt whether Carrick will be gone this early given the backing they’ve given him.
United fans are complaining about the club not spending nearly enough over the Summer so Carrick has not been backed to any great extent. Also one point from a possible 15 for Fulham is relegation form in anybody’s book. I sincerely hope the Cottage fans see a good win or even a draw but the Arbeloa experiment has to end with a defeat on Sunday to give a new head coach a decent chance.

Four points from the first five would be a great start
If Tete was concussed why did he play on? This is a serious issue in professional sport & the protocol
must’ve failed for him to continue.
