Jussi - 7 dealt with everything pretty well, fumbled once or twice, good double save at the end.
Demel - 8 Thought he was really good today, linked up with Vaz Te really well and very strong defensivley.
Collins - 7 threw his body on the line and never stopped, i wouldnt play him away from home but cant fault him today.
Reid - 8 colossal in defense, fulham couldnt get past him. Great header for the goal too, really underrated
O'Brien - 6 done okay, a bit of a weak link but its not his best position. Wouldnt like to see a pacy winger against him. He done his part though.
Noble - 9 MOTM for me, he was everywhere, brilliant performance. I hope he can perform like this every week.
Diame - 8 first half i thought there was more than one diame, he was everywhere and has such quick feet. What a fantastic signing he had been.
Nolan - 7 ok im not his biggest fan, sky gave him man of the match which was wrong for me. But i appreciate what he brings, he played really well today, a real nuisance.
Taylor - 7 good performance from Matty, great delivery for Reid's goal. Fantastic finish for his goal. 7 might be a bit harsh, he was good.
Vaz Te - 8 brings real flair to the team. He never stopped running, constantly troubling fulhams full backs. Deliveries could be better but he was great today
Carroll - 9 won absolutley everything, never gives up, and had a hand in 2 goals and almost set up another 2. He deserved a goal today, just hope his injury is a precaution.
Subs..
Tomkins - 6 dealt with everything well when he was on
Hall - 5 not much time but he is a raw talent, had a couple of touches but didnt really get going.
Cole - 6 won a few headers but im afraid he has to take a back seat for Carroll now
I know my ratings are quite high, but it was a great performance. 1st half was unbeleivable and then we just sat back comfortably

Plus Noble finally looked like the player he always had the potential to be; I hope he can keep it up x

O'Brien was poor.

It was a great performance today. Carroll and Diame stood out. Most of the others were also impressive.
Taylor is an average player, and Jussi doesn't inspire me with confidence at all!
Are we expecting Carroll to overcome his hamstring in time for the Norwich game in 2 weeks' time?

Def. out for England game as mentioned in Daily Fail. Not sure about the Norwich game. I think he'll be ok by that time.

I'd love to see us sign Carroll permanently. I wonder if Maiga is going to be a regular sub, as opposed to a first-team starter?
I still think Jussi looks shaky. Maybe we should see what Henderson is like.

Just seen Gianfranco Zola on TV. Like his new hair transplant!

Spurs' might sell Cuddicini in Jan as they are minted with goalkeepers. There aren't many good goal keepers like strikers or defenders.
I think Watford lost, aren't they?

West Ham will finish above Spurs.

I think Sam Allardyce has set up bit higher goals than that Batmanu.
