"HE CAN'T GET HIS CAREER GOING!" Tony Cascarino INSISTS Emile Smith-Rowe has to STEP UP at Fulham!
Tony Cascarino on Fulham: Smith-Rowe must step up and they must get something against Hull City
The video focuses on Fulham's difficult season, their must-get-something game against Hull City, and the form of players like Emile Smith-Rowe and Josh King. Tony Cascarino says Fulham lost too many goals with Jimenez and Harry Wilson, lack physicality, and need Smith-Rowe to step up; Hull will make it very hard.
- Fulham were relegation candidates at the start of the season — They lost Jimenez and Harry Wilson, who had scored 19 of the team's 47 goals between them
- Smith-Rowe has not kicked on and has to step up at Fulham — He is 26, has been in and out of the Fulham team, only makes sporadic starts, and his career has not got going
- Fulham must get something today — Hull are very hard to play against and defend well, so this is a game Fulham must get something from
- Fulham lack physicality in attack — Apart from Berge in midfield, they do not have that physical presence; they do not look like scoring from set pieces and do not score enough in open play
- Josh King is one of Fulham's few bright sparks this season — He is a tricky customer, did well at the end of last season, and already has a brace
- Fulham must stay true to their ideas to turn things around — They are not in an easy situation, need to keep doing what put them in front, trained hard all week and are ready for another battle
- Fulham cannot just stick to their principles; they must adjust to the opposition — Their current approach has not worked, so they need to look at the opposition and force problems in areas where they can make a difference
- Hull City will cause Fulham problems — Hull defend very well, use a five-at-the-back system well, and have three natural centre-halves who defend strongly

coming up for you tomorrow as well in terms of Fulham cast a lot of chat about your man Alvaro Arabaloa he's got two games to receive his job well I mean it's been a very difficult baptism for him in the Premier League and I just want to just rewind slightly on Fulham because I was very concerned and I had them in the bottom three at the start of the season as a team that I thought could get relegated and for the simple reason when you lose Jimenez like they did to Wolves and he'd got nine goals for them that season the season before and then you lose Harry Wilson who got 10 goals which were 19 of their 47 goals were scored by two players that left the football club now then you move forward and they buy two players from Real Madrid you've got Cesar Pellius and you've got Gonzalo Garcia who have come in two young players big buys really big test for them to succeed in the Premier League and there are lots of disappointing things about Fulham how they've not quite got going I tell you one player I thought I can't believe he hasn't kicked on is Emil Smith-Rowe you know he's 26 now and he's been in and out the Fulham team forever he's been sabbie starts now and again and it just can't get his career going at Fulham so it's been a really tricky season so far for them massive game today whole city are very hard to play against defend really well and it's a game that Fulham have to get something for sure it's an absolute they must get something today can you see them getting something from what you've seen this season because Hull have looked very good yeah well they have but I would be very concerned about a Fulham fan I mean I thought they played really well Anfield when they got draw yeah defended really well they're gonna have to be at their very best today because Hull City will make it hard because they play that five at the back you know whatever formation you want to do it they do it really well and three's natural centre-halves they play the three of them you know it'll be enjoy it will be obviously you know we're we're looking at i was just looking at a team here and and egan john egan who are a player i've knew from sheffield united days and mendy and uh them three there defend really really well so it's going to be hard for fulham because they don't have any physicality for me in the attack they really lack that and then also for our below and his situation when there's whispers going around of keira mckenna being sounded out thomas frank yeah being sounded out you wonder how that will work for him today with that well that's always going to happen of course it's when you're a manager for multiple managers at the same time yeah but when you are sitting in this position that fulham are in you know well what are the shining lights for fulham this year and there's very few josh king yeah josh king has come in and looked like you know he's a he's a he's a real tricky customer done really well the end of last season uh for fulham not really scored enough goals but this year's got got a brace already, got a couple of goals. He's a bright spark for them, but they mean way more than that. They really do for them. Well, he's saying they're going to stick to their principles when it comes to turning around their fortunes we are not in an easy situation but we need to to stay true to our ideas to keep doing the things that put us in front and uh we have been training really hard and this week and i saw the commitment of my players during all this week and we are ready for another battle tomorrow so when you're in his situation now is it better to stick to your principles or mix it up a little bit because it's no worked. Well, you've got to look at the opposition and how do you adjust to them to give them, force them problems? You know, can they make the difference in certain areas of the pitch? because they do lack a physicality for me as a side. I think that's apart from Berge in midfield, who's quite a big lad. They haven't got that... You know, they don't look like they're ever going to get anything from a set piece you know when I watch them I don't think oh they can get you know so open play they don't score enough goals because they don't and then they don't really score a lot of goals from set pieces yeah so it's a really tricky one because Hull City will cause them problems for sure Fulham Hull one of the matches part of game day live our coverage this afternoon from half past two with Adrian Durham going all around the grounds also if you're bored with the big sex chat Man United all over the back pages Man United all over the back pages Man City and the rest and you want more of this more Fulham chat don't forget the No BS podcast is available now it's Max Scott and Oli Klink here with a proper unfiltered football chat looking at the other clubs that don't get spoken about as much this week Klink makes a case for Frank to replace our below and Max thinks that Leeds will seal Michael Carrick's fate as Manchester United boss no BS available now wherever you get your podcast it's the weekend sports breakfast on TalkSport next we'll have a look at today's back pages of the newspapers and shortly we're going to head around the world we've got a Plymouth fan with us today at the away end but where on earth is he you'll find out very soon good
