We really need a couple of players who move the ball quickly. Everybody in midfield wants to take 3 or four touches everytime. No-one's moving to make themselves available. We're very ponderous on the ball.

That was absolutely fucking horrific, I can’t remember a worse half of football, the only bonus is they haven’t scored yet. 

You can’t remember a worse half of football? So you didn’t watch the Luton, Forrest or West Ham games

Level away from home with an injury crisis but not playing well

definitely a pitchforks out situation

 

While I agree, when we perform like that, it's also wise to let fans vent. That was particularly hard to watch.

 

Still in the game though.

Worse than Everton you think?

Different type of bad. Everton was failure through complacency, so far this is failure through being outright shit.

Well that pretty painful to watch.

 

Only Gordon and Bruno in our side seemingly capable of taking an opponent on to create some space and open up for forward passes today. Every other player when closed down stops and passes backwards. Fulhams entire team is seemingly capable of taking on any one of our players and get past them with ease.

 

Our passing has been woeful in general. Probably a combination of poor passing, our players not being able to make themselves available to receive the ball due to Fulham working really hard off the ball, and our players not putting in the effort required to make themselves available.

 

Not one single player warrants more than a 5 or 6 at most so far.

Burn has been fine. Krafth grew into it when Murphy started helping back. Dubravka showed experience.

 

That Bruno pass shows how fine the margin is though.

We have shown time and time again when the players run into space/move that likes of Bruno and Schar will find them, need to be dragging their players to areas they don't want to go

Dubravka - Tactical Mastermind

Krafth - Expert at dealing with the overloads

Schar - You can see he has a 20 yard love rocket brewing inside

Burn - Wears his armband on his right sleeve

Hall - The by product of an Eddie Howe and Matt Richie gene splicing

Longstaff - Needs his inhaler

Bruno - Yellow card

Willock - Let down by his holographic leg

Gordon - Has been instructed to cool his jets

Isak - Already playing for several different premier league suiters

Murphy - 

Anderson - Scotland's answer to Scott McTominay

Bruno, and later Gordon aside, that was poor. We never looked up for it. We have came better into the game, but still lacking any real intent, shame as we had a couple of half chances as well when we could be bothered.

Lots of sloppiness, everything from passing to nowhere, being caught in possession, to even not being arsed to get yourself inside for the freekick.


If you got up for it though then the win is there for us, Fulham have already given us a few half chances as mentioned which indicates why they have had 2 poor results in the last week.

It's so painful watching Longstaff so far this season. He's just a complete passenger in and out of possession. 

 

He's not good enough. Cannot be featuring for us regularly next season.

Aussie Burger King?

Could be, hopefully not as disappointing. Where's all the Australians? Hungry Jacks? Yes or no.
