The referee had no fucking control of that game though, he was bad for both teams, absolute disgrace the standard of refereeing now. Agreed. Even the penalty was odd - to me the initial claim re Burn’s tugging was more of a pen than the Trippier one a few seconds later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrovic slipped and Isak said what were you all worried about? Nice Office reference that didn't pass me by Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Just now, Stifler said: Because it was nowhere near enough to bring him down, it was a complete dive and he pretty much had a free shot at goal as well. How he never got booked for diving is beyond me. Yeah, Pereira threw himself down unrealistically. Ref and VAR aren't going to flinch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztoon Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Don't think Bruno will miss much.. if it was really bad they would have brought him off right away I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinky Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 We need some new corner routines. Trippier has been poor lately. Give someone else a go and perhaps try some short corner tactics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 1 minute ago, Alberto2005 said: To be fair how did Burn get away with that pull back on Pereira? It wasn't looked at due to an offside before it happened is my only guess, since they went straight to the Tripps getting tramped on one. How he could give that in the first place is a fucking disgrace. English refs are the worst in the top 10 leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Not sure where people are getting ‘not a penalty’ from. Take away both of a player’s legs anywhere else on the pitch and it’s a stonewall free kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a really good footballer these days. Agreed, Maxi looked sharp. Hopefully Bruno isn't out for long and we can have, as an option at least, a front 6 of Bruno, Big Joe, Maxi, Miggy, Isak & Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton can do a job in the middle for me. He's a really good footballer these days. I can see what you mean, yes. It just makes us dangerous in a different way. Longstaff in that deeper midfield role, just needs to keep things a bit simpler and move the ball quickly, and not try to be Bruno. He did a good job of that today once Bruno went off. Lovely ball into the box that the goal came from too. Really good sign that the team didn't fall apart or look discouraged once Bruno went off.

Take away both of a player’s legs anywhere else on the pitch and it’s a stonewall free kick. The Fulham player went studs up onto Trippier and then fell over the secondary contact from Trippier. That's the first foul, where the contact that ultimately led to the penalty was initiated. You can't foul a player initially, then claim a penalty cos after the foul you're taken out...

nufc123 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Fully deserved the win. Only thing Fulham had was a wrong penalty. Need a new corner routine. Not one dangerous out of many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 We had 63% possession and 20 shots to their 5. We were lucky with the penalty incident, but on the balance of play we were worthy winners. About time we scraped a win like that instead of yet another frustrating home draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Warthog Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Huge result, that. Despite some below-par performances from some players. Thank you Agent Mitro! ? Isak is off and running again! We could look back on this in a few months and see how pivotal it was in the final outcome. Only 2 points off safety now...! Let's go to Palace and get three more... ? Hope Bruno isn't too badly injured. Also, now is the time to start getting in reinforcements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm think that's harsh, they were doing a good away at a big team performance for a small team. Defensively solid and pressing us well at times. Our biggest problem imo is that we can struggle to create goals sometimes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
