Guest @St_James Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If it wasn't for ACN we would have won this. It would have been over at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Something very wrong with the attitude 2nd half. A cliche to say they were already on the beach, but it fucking looked like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Err what happened? Thought we were playing some nice football and bossing the first half? Come back and we've conceded 5 and appear to be playing hoofball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 worst result in a few years, and a fuckin embarrasing performance 2nd half against a s**** team. f***ing still cant work it out, 5 goals conceded against Fulham. fulham arent a bad side, it's nowhere near as bad as the west brom game at st james that was horrendous.

maybe_next_year Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 shambolic at the back, couldn't keep the ball, dreadful and embarrasing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 can we give credit to the tactical genius of martin jol? Yep. They were being comprehensively outplayed but managed to get in at only 1-0. They changed everything and we played like we'd already won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We were so good in that first half. So strange. We saw Johnson's ability to get in behind with the Santon incident and we should have dropped deeper then. Won't even start on how Shola gets near the squad.

eliassenfredrik Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well, that was awful. I don't know how that happened like. 5 fucking goals. Started with that horrible pen decision, and Andy Johnson made all the difference. I hate him so much for some reason. Shola was pathetic as always, defense fucking disgraceful and second half tactics and game plan were embarrassing. I need a drink. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Shola's a cunt. How the fuck did he not get subbed off? This, he was so crap, as the main forward he has to hold the ball up, he cant do that at all, he is so shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 f*** me don't we get done for pace at the back sometimes (Thinking also of our loss to WBA at the hands of Odemwingie and Long) Ameobi has got be put out to pasture. 3 players away from our best side though which is important to keep in mind. Next few games will be very hard to watch Krul 4 Kicking is atrocious! Simmo 4.5 Meh Williamson 3 Just pure s**** today. Major contributor to at least 3 of the conceded goals. Slow as all hell Coloccini 5.5 Not really at fault for any of the goals but really lacks a few yards of pace. Santon 3.5 Poor. Lucky to last 90 minutes Ben Arfa 6.5 Another good goal. Ok first half though he lost the ball a bit too much. Tough with no movement up front. Not in the game first 25 minutes of second half but good late in the game. Guthrie 6.5 Great goal and was fantastic first half. Needs to be signed up immediately Cabaye 5.5 Not in the game, can't be a 100% Gutierrez 7 Great stuff today, dribbling and running game was at its best. Lack of movement up front hurt him. Ameobi 2 Must be put out to pasture now. Woeful movement. Yes he can win a header and put away a penalty but everything else is just woeful. Best 5.5 No service today, tough with a strike partner who is essentially an immovable object. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Someone assassinate Shola and save our next month. Oh fuck off man. This result is 100% about the defence man. Yeah our defence has been bad but two of their goals were after Shola rather hopelessly lost the ball. Attack is the best form of defence. That's the mindset that lost us the game today, we pressed forward too much and gambled a little too much, which meant we kept giving the ball away, and left tonnes of space for Johnson and Dempsey to exploit. We could have gotten away with some of it if Tiote was here. Also Shola, to be fair, wasn't nearly as static as he had been against QPR. He's still no Demba.

Guest Heneage Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Duff's dive changes the game for me. Gets them right back into the game and gives them a stupidly big confidence boost. Not like anyone on MOTD will mention that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just one of those bad days lads. Fulham deserved it in the end, since we couldn't respond in the second half. Dust off, move on. Hope we learn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 9 of them can hang their heads in shame after that like. Absolutely woeful second 45 minutes, embarrassing. Don't think anyone really came out of that with any credit, despite the two very good goals we scored both goalscorers gave the ball away far too much and Guthrie had another hands in the air-appealing for nothing-while the other team score episode Santon had a good first half, then the foul just before the break seemed to knock his confidence. Cabaye looked off the pace, he was carried a bit by Guthrie in the first half (in terms of tracking back) and that Fulham didn't show up. Jonas was probably our brightest spark.

Lenny Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Someone assassinate Shola and save our next month. Oh f*** off man. This result is 100% about the defence man. No, its not Fact we couldnt take advantage in the first half is because Strolla is ameoabing. We concede five goals away from home, and you blame Shola? Fuck. My. Life. Brings new meaning to the phrase 'any old excuse'. I'm gonna blame Alan Smith. It's quite clearly mostly about the defence, but everyone deserves criticism, and I fully understand that given the number of games we've had to put up with Shola's shite, people are getting on his back. Enoughs enough, no one else gets so many chances and continues to be that shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I actually meant Jonas and Ben Arfa. The latter is still far too loose with the ball, imo, but he is our best attacking player (with Ba and Cisse in Equatorial Guinea) by a completely ridiculous amount. Far too loose. Jeseus man have you seen Ameobi try to controla ball, pass a ball or shoot. Laughable. It's a good practice. Comparing everything to Shola's footballing ability so you can feel good about all the shit things in your life. This team has many failures and the inadequacies of our fourth choice striker are not particularly high on the list for me. Spot on Baba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Only saw the second half but that was very reminiscent of WBA at home imo. The formula they had for breaking us down was scarily easy like, lofted ball into Zamora who was 5 yards off our defence, back to Murphy or Baird, chip over the top to Johnson or Dempsey. Every single time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Krul 4 - piss poor kicking & gave away a pen Simpson 3 - Dempsey was his man, playing from his side and he got a hat-trick, nuff said, crossing was poor too. Williamson 3 - shown up badly. Coloccini 4 - as above but gets an extra mark for being alreet going forward. Santon 3 - all over the place. Cabaye 4 - played well in the first, none existant in the second. Guthrie 4 - great goal and as above. Jonas 6.5 - brilliant in the first and was one of two who kept going in the second. Best 4 - totally ineffectual, thought he was our 'poorest' in the first too. Not a left winger mind so not surprising. Shola 3.5 - ball doesn't stick, movement is non existant. Ben Arfa 6 - great goal and kept plugging away unlike some, was wasteful in the first at times. Subs - piss poor (both who came on and what they did aka fuck all) Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

themanupstairs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Difficult to swallow this result. Could not see Fulham scoring in the first half, nevermind putting 5 past us. Refereeing decision turned the game on its head, yet again, but we never showed the resilience we've displayed in recent times. Heads dropped at 1-1, and that was that. Fulham were nothing special at all, and that's what hurts even more. Despicable show from Ameobi who should not have stayed on the pitch. "Surprisingly" Ben Arfa tried to take it to them, but was on his own in his endeavor. We scored a couple of lovely goals, maybe that's the one positive we can take, but nowt else.
