Ronaldo Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Great win. Schar and Bruno absolutely imperious. We lack so much quality in the final ball but eff all can be done until summer about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Shame Wolves didn’t take something off West Ham, but we win the games we should be winning till end of season we have a good chance of top 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Such a strange game. Really poor for a while but ended really well and robbed of a 2-0 win. A bit of a swings and roundabouts situation after Everton because we should have won that and could have easily lost this, but have come out with 4 points overall. Dubravka: 6.5 Krafth: 6 Schär: 5.5 Burn: 7.5 Hall: 6 Longstaff: 4.5 Bruno: 7.5 Willock: 5 Anderson: 6.5 Murphy: 4 Barnes: 6.5 Isak: 6.5 Gordon: 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable really, considering the state of the squad at the minute. This team keeps fighting through, even when we're in bad shape and things are looking ugly.

Dr Jinx Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Got better as half wore on. Barnes the difference again.. brought the “fret” A good week overall in terms of points. Patchy in terms of general play but we’re still in with a sniff of European places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Aside from some dodgy communication first half, our defence was solid there. Much, much better than it has been this season. If we can get a few more clean sheets between now and the end, then I've no worries at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 If someone had said at 3-1 down against West Ham last week we would take 7 points from that, and the next two games everyone would have snapped their hand off. Fantastic return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 We’ve gone from conceding 2.5 per game to conceding 0.5 per game, since playing with a proper left full back and BDB in his actual position. It’s too early to say it’s a trend but we’ve looked so much better defensively the past couple of games. And Burn has been outstanding in both games. Our general play didn’t warrant that victory at all but keep clean sheets and you can grind out results. Fucking brilliant 3 points! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Raised the levels in the second and probably just about edged it overall. Rode our luck a little bit Dubravka didn't have too much to do in all honesty. I'll take a gritty, shit house, dirty and scrappy April win all day long though. No one will give a fuck how we got it but it wasn't exactly a classic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Rights the wrongs from Tuesday that. 7 from 9 from these fixtures would have always been decent. Just did it an odd way round. Top quality second half. First half hour of the game was one of the worst of the season. But we had plenty of chances the last 45 and almost felt like we shaded it in the end on chances.

Also people keep having a pop at halls defensive skills but correct me if I’m wrong but in last three games none of the goals we conceded was when he was on the pitch.

David Edgar Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I don't think Fulham looked particularly dangerous at any point. They had a lot of energy and possession. A few long-ish shots. Nowt to say they fully deserved the game or even close. Then once Barnes came on, we looked the better team and genuinely did start to threaten their goal way more than they had managed.

matta Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Alarmingly weak first half, but also very solid defensively. Second half is very good, creating lots and held on without any scares. VAR is just a joke. Fulhams player backing into Burn. Happens on every set piece, and none of them ends up being close to the ball. Thankfully means nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 as badly as we played at times I think we had much better openings and chances overall, and Schar very unlucky not to score haven't seen the xg but imagine we came out well on top Great result considering we were without 11 players, they had a fully fit squad and defent home record Barnes and Anderson good off the bench - we've really missed that so much this season fingers crossed Willock is okay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
