To be fair, it was better than expected. We looked suspect defending the deep long ball, but most defences do. I thought Anita and Sissoko was a good central pair, Anita was man of the match and didnt put a foot wrong all day. HBA was off today, trying to do too much. Krul: 6/10 didnt have anything to do, but his touch looked a bit dodgy at times. Debuchy: 5/10 An improvement on last week, but got skinned by Jarvis a few times, still not good enough Coloccini: 7/10 Back to himself today, class as always Mbiwa: 6/10 Still adjusting and isnt used to the aerial marking required. Still a decent performance. Santon: 7/10 Looked good, got forward well and defended excellently Anita: 8/10 Was absolute class, Broke up play and set up the play perfectly Sissoko: 6/10 Looked good at times, still alot of improvement in his decision making and ball play HBA: 5/10 Always dangerous, but wasnt on form today Marveaux: 6/10 Not involved enough but looked good when on the ball Ameobi: 4/10 Useless as always, his touch is shit and constantly gives away fouls when an attack looks promising Cisse: 3/10 Terrible, looks a yard off the pace, hes not reacting to anything quick enough. Subs: Thought Sammy did well when he came on, Gouffran offered so much more to our attack, though that miss of his was terrible.

Such a disgraceful sub.

Anita class. Cisse diabolical.

We keep possession in general well, lacking cutting edge though. yeh we dont go anywhere with it. Need to be patient and keep passing and moving. Wait for an opening and then pounce. Its all a bit rushed at the moment.

Yeh hes the man! This is his season.

Debuchy is slow as fuck isnt he

Hatem very trigger happy, we just need to keep the ball and build pressure. Anita, Marv and HBA are having some nice interchanges.

Kruls touch is horrendous, lucky hes an incredible stopper

fuck me .. heart attack

Yeh, its 50/50 imo

We're not doing anything. Really? I think we've done well, considering. CAlm, nice passing, more shape, more intent. Just have to keep it up. Theres alot of potential in this lineup, with an ameobi replacement and giving them more fluidity.

Just a little slow with making decisions on the ball, not playing badly though.

Shola ........ fuck two signings and wed be looking alright.

Anitas looking good! Marv needs to work into the game.

Yep, Giaccherini. early days

shocking by hatem

HBA goal here

Dont rate this Fulham side. Remind me of ourselves, with a better striker up front. Pass the ball around defence, but toothless when attacking.

He must have one of the sweetest left footed shots in world football.

Nothing special, apart from the monster in the middle and fat bastard who is a prolific goalscorer from deep.

Who is that bench missing? Tiote, Cabaye, Saylor, Remy, Jonas, Williamson and Haidara. 7 first teamers unavailable already

it as good as it can be, bar Gouffran for Shola. Who knows maybe Shola can play one of those dominant games he has once every three years.

Gouffran for Shola and it's not too bad.

Shearer or Henry

Be like watching Barca c'mon..... wet spam have bought okay during the summer but they're not that good. Have they done well? Carroll, Downing and then am stuck Rat
