Reported for the use of 'counterintuitively' .......this isn't Off Topic so keep the bloody long words out of it.I get your point, but counterintuitively, I suppose Fulham playing well is exactly the team you want to experiment on.
Experimenting on a depressed team wouldn't tell you much about what you are testing... My guess is this is a test in preparations for the aCL later stages. Where you'd expect the opposition to be lively and up for a challenge. And Fulham plays asuch. So they are a great sparring partner to test theories on.
A depressed team who'd play in their she'll wouldn't tell him much about his theories. That's just my guess.
