I don't think anyone is saying they wanted us to 'go for broke', just more of a persistent effort at winning the game 2-0 rather than waiting until 70 minutes when, ironically, we actually did 'go for broke'.

Their defence were absolutely shitting themselves when we started attacking them. They were more than suspect at the back, even when we played at their place. Why we waited until 60-odd minutes to try and score two goals is beyond me. We put ourselves in a position where we had to go all out; so of course they were going to score once we did that. Pardew is severely limited.

He's a striker who relies on instincts though. Once you start telling him not to go with those instincts you end up taking away what he's good at. I personally think his movement is brilliant.

I hope we don't coach all the flair out of him though. I love a centre half who can dribble past a couple of players.

Was surprised with how good his form seemed to be after so long out.

He did nothing glaringly wrong in his defensive duties. I wouldn't say he played particularly well though.

I find him frustrating because one or two of those offside will so easily not be. I don't mind ones where he is just offside beating the last man but sometimes he has gone so early the teams haven't even come out yet. Aye, but he scores goals. 7 goals in 2013 now (coincidence? I think not), can see him notching a couple on Sunday too.

He's not frustrating at all once you accept that he will be offside a couple of times a game. Fact is he scores goals as long as the service is there for him.

That's what you get if you wait until 70 minutes to start trying to score 2 goals without conceding. If they score whilst you're all out attacking then you're fucked.

Sissoko for that goal, man. Shite.

Looking at it optimistically, at least MYM has the pace to play alongside Williamson which is something he's never had before.

No attacking wide players whatsoever

Could be anything, like. Haidara and Tioté starting?

They basically epitomise what's wrong with British society/culture today. I think there's far bigger problems around than them, like.

They're just a bunch of kids that make some pop music that teenage girls like. I never really get the animosity towards people like them.

Think he has a lot of ability but he really hasn't shown it this season other than in the first couple of months.

If Krul ever were to leave I'd be more than happy to have him back.

:lol:

The last time Anita started at right back he was awful whilst he was there. He's a midfielder, but perhaps not for this team or league.

Cabaye's best performances have come as the furthest forward midfield player where he can create chances for Cissé. He's much better when he can slide passes through to him along the ground than he is sitting deeper and lofting balls into the box.

Did you watch the game? Fulham are shite and rely on Berbatov or Ruiz to pull something out of their arse.

I think I'd be looking at buying a new destroyer to replace Tioté this Summer. It is true that Cabaye plays a lot better alongside Tioté, but Tioté's been very poor individually for what seems like forever.

I remember a stat from his first season (I think) with Man Utd where the average distance he traveled per match was one of the highest in the league for strikers. It's a myth that he's lazy.

I'd cross Jol off the list of possible future managers, like. Fulham are proper shit.

Somehow we're unbeaten at home in all comps since January.
