Anderson has a good leap

Well that pretty painful to watch. Only Gordon and Bruno in our side seemingly capable of taking an opponent on to create some space and open up for forward passes today. Every other player when closed down stops and passes backwards. Fulhams entire team is seemingly capable of taking on any one of our players and get past them with ease. Our passing has been woeful in general. Probably a combination of poor passing, our players not being able to make themselves available to receive the ball due to Fulham working really hard off the ball, and our players not putting in the effort required to make themselves available. Not one single player warrants more than a 5 or 6 at most so far.

I feel bad for laughing.

Brace yourself for when Adama Traore comes on against his tired legs

It would actually be hilarious if Dubs has to come off here, and Karius then gets injured so Howe is finally vindicated for having 2 keepers on the bench for half a season.

Horrible start by Murphy Didn't press when Gordon almost caught it, fell alseep twice in defence & bad pass in the space of under 3 minutes. Can only get better!

Leif looks like a clear upgrade on Burn at LB while retaining some of the qualities presumably Howe values in that position. Not a very exciting player has to be said, but looks solid and ok with ball in feet.

Yeah, that's fair. I wasn't very nervous either when he came on due to his solid cameos previously. Was expecting him to slot in at CB with Burn going wide though - not sure if that would have ultimately made a difference considering his position in the box when he fouled Young. Burn for his limitations is still much better with the ball in feet than Dummett so maybe a small chance we could have made something happen later on down the left wing instead of Paul freezing up when the ball touched his shoe, only to pass it backwards after a few seconds.

Solano-Taylor-Huntington-Edgar for our 2-2 against Man Utd springs to mind. Back then we also had a 12-man injury list. The obvious difference difference being we relied on youthful enthusiasm and energy then rather than glue factory material now. That was Edgars debut, who was (is?) a CB, and he scored in that game. Fail to see why we could not have subbed on Alex Murphy instead.

Heart says no, head says yes.

Man Utd emergency loan for Paul Dummett incoming?

Ok, this was a pretty funny result as well.

Perfect match. Entertaining yet none of the teams or fans will be satisfied afterwards (if Chelsea score the pen)

Was surprised when he came on and slotted into the LB position. Was expecting Burn to shift wide with Dummett at CB.

Struggle to put into words how much a loathe playing against Everton. Players were spent after the first half. They had nothing to give after Everton equalised.

Willock surely carrying a small knock. Barnes hamstring or groin injury in the first half nailed on. Willock comes on with Anderson wide. Willock fucks up what is already a bit fucked up. Tindall starts against Fulham. Howe on the bench.

If his job is so easy that you can do it from home, on the sly, through an intermediary, it wouldn't be a job companies would pay millions to release the best people from their ongoing contracts to do. Big risk for Ashworth to take too, for no gain. He'd be stupid to do it even if he could.

Can we set up a poll so we can see who wants Howe sacked so I can put them on my ignore list?
