Fulham 3-1 Newcastle United (21/09/24)


Recommended Posts

If these performances turn into shit results Eddie will have to be careful with Mitchell lurking, it's easy to forget because we are currently in the top 4 that we've completely lacked identity and a gameplan and made a lot of basic errors all over the pitch so far this season.

When we have difficult periods in games like this, why don’t we ever try to just retain possession for a few minutes, rather than rushing and losing it?

We have no ability to take the sting out of a game.

He had us pressing like idiots with Schär and Botman (who's probably a tiny bit faster than Burn but not by much).

Botman is much better at that press, reading to block his man off etc.

We haven't the pace to press with this defence. I wonder if that was the plan with Livramento and Hall coming more into the side last season and start of this if that Palace bloke had signed him and Botman back later this season would have allowed us to really be aggressive from the front through.

One of the drawbacks of Kelly is Barnes seems to sit deeper since we don't have a fullback who can step into that midfield role... It's a pick your poison proposition but think Eddie will have no choice but to bring Hall on if we are down at half/60 min
