SiLvOR Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Fulham have looked fairly decent in most games, tbh. We just have a habit of making other teams look shit. Cos we're fucking brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Fulham it’s a classic case of take their best 3/4 players out of the team and they look ordinary - they just don’t have the depth in talent to replace the likes of Mitro/Paulinha/Willian/Tete etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Besides Brighton, we’ve not been outclassed this season. Considering the injuries to key players, that’s pretty good going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Maximin Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 First Toon match since pre-covid got me. I lived in Newcastle then, now I live in London. Work got corporate tickets literally right behind the dugout and lunch before. Absolute class experience, even if I had to pretend to be a Fulham fan (who seem a decent bunch and Craven Cottage is great btw). Red card clearly helped, but for we were still excellent and it was about as dominant a performance as I’ve seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance,they had 5 players out yesterday,and the sending off. From what I've seen they are half decent side,and are on same points as us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 While Fulham where poor yesterday, they have genuinely been really good this season and deservedly gotten points from tough teams, they play to their main strength in Mitrovic and arnt afraid to give it a go and be on the front foot. Marco Silva is also a really decent coach. That said this result is probably their first real test in terms of how they respond to it, as you could argue there has been a bit of momentum with some of their results this season, and with injuries to key players, they'll need to bounce back quickly. But honestly think they finish between 14th and 10th, which I'd be happy with so they're no longer a shitty yo-yo club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Must be so strange mentally to play against 10 men for such a long period of time. Was impressed by our mentality despite the late goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 It basically tells you that if you can be a possession based side, you will reap the rewards if the opposition has a player sent off. They were wholly unprepared and it suited us down to the ground. I still think we have question marks on whether we can break down a competent mid table side who sit back and attempt to soak up pressure. Although with Wilson involved that problem becomes less of an issue. The biggest positive is our base level of performance. Even on a poor day, we are a match for most sides and capable of taking a point and on a good day we can put any side to the sword. Jesus do we need a bit of luck on the injury front. Can we not have our best players available for like 4/5 games on the spin? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The away end was great yesterday. There was a good core bringing out some old corkers. There was a solid 2 minutes of singing the Andy Cole, David Kelly, Robbie Lee song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham seemed to lose heart completely, and it's no wonder their manager was so angry afterwards - I don't think it was just down to the ref. It's how a team reacts to a setback that counts.

Lush Vlad Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 What really impressed me. Was how easily we managed to find space when they went down to ten. I'm sure a lot of that was down to how crap they were and how they managed the situation. But they didn't really offer anything on the counter or commit many forward. So they usually had numbers sitting deep. Yet we always had space in midfield or we would work it wide quickly enough to get Murphy, Almiron or Trippier in space. Even set pieces, we just kept our foot on the gas and were always looking to get the ball back in play quickly and create another opening. It was pure domination for 65 minutes or so and should have scored a couple more, for sure. Bruno and Wilson coming off was a blessing for them. As they were both taking the piss. Great away end and probably the best I've been in bar 'Ryan Taylor over the wall' against the mackems. My fears of it being one of those quiet southern/London away ends were well wide of the mark. Some great classics got rolled out, even a couple that were before my time and I didn't know all the words. Goals and the performance help, of course. But it just never really relented and I was pleased to hear the chants carried so well watching the highlights back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kid, he was absolutely everywhere, fabulous performance. All the others are sound, would give Botman a 8.5, he makes Schar even better just by being on the pitch.
