History don’t matter much in this instance I’d say. What matters is that we’ve been off it so far. Still time to change things around of course but we’ve been poor in possession and seem to be losing our heads a bit which is never a good sign.

We’ve been super flat since the opening 2 mins. Need to get going here.

Back to our ruthless best today. You just love to see the high press catching them time and time again. ?

Lovely ball in by AG10. Brilliant header from the man of my dreams. ?

Thank god for Alexander Isak. Good ball Murphy.

What in the actual fuck are we doing? It’s like half the team hasn’t met let alone played football before.

Was just about to write that we started slow but figured I shouldn’t be a whiny bastard. And then THAT happens. For fucks sake lads.

We deserve every bit of criticism after this performance. Underwhelming as fuck and I’ll never understand tonight’s game plan tbh. Such a disappointment.

Shot on target! Hooray!

Krafth stays on. What the fuck Eddie man?

Can’t believe how lethargic we’ve been this far. No urgency whatsoever. Piss poor on the ball, Barnes looks like he’s sleepwalking and the less said about the trinity of Murphy, Krafth and Longstaff the better.

Fucking hell. Time to abort the test with Murph and Krafth.

We’ll do these 2nd half. They haven’t created much and we’ve been in 2nd gear at best. Get Tino on at HT for Krafth and switch to a back 4 and we’ll be alright.

Underwhelming start tbh. A bit too passive so far for my liking. We’ll get there though - right? ?

He's an absolutely class player for sure. His finishing is absolutely top class. His movement and pace is top class. I do agree that his touch was slightly off yesterday - the ball over the top from Barnes (?) in the first half you'd have bet your house that he'd bring it down and score as well as the second time he had Van Der Ven on toast and Udogie got across to block the shot. Absolutely adore him though. This team man.

Super performance tactically today. Will happy for him. To get such a performance from that team against the media darling that is Ange is absolutely amazing. ❤️

Let’s do these! Howay the lads!

We dug in in the end. Great three points and we looked a bit better in the second half. Loved Bruno’s celebration!

Bruno you beautiful man. ?

Absolutely no need for Burn to go through Bassey like that tbh. It’s a foul even though the ball is well over them.

Barnes on for Krafth. Move Murphy to RB and Gordon to RW. Get Willock off for Anderson.

Bit better now. Come on lads.

The one positive to take from this is that there’s an hour of football to play and we’re not buried already.

Fulham have been OK and are certainly up for it. I would have hoped our lads were up for it as well. We’ve been absolutely shit though. Not mutually exclusive.

They’re also miles away from our midfield who in turn are in our defenders lap.
