Wingers were defending as second full backs so we couldn't press and that never really changed. Just forced us to defend deep all game and allowed Fulham easy possession. We're we forced? Felt like a tactical choice to me. We opted to sit off them and got punished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted yesterday at 17:05 Share Posted yesterday at 17:05 We were too open, we didn't keep possession at all, and in possession it was all too hurried. Still think we should have got more from the game, hitting bar twice and Willock missing the ball completely. We have to learn to shut games down, control possession and not let team get into the games, we do that far too often, let teams get at us. And we desperately need to freshen the squad with a player or two, not that the shitty bent rules will let us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted yesterday at 17:06 Share Posted yesterday at 17:06 Thing that's bothered me for a while is that we rarely can keep controlled possession. It's always bang it up there at the first opportunity. Even when the forward is outnumbered. Never just move the ball forward and start probing for openings. Just first time ball or a touch and then a speculative pass. When they come off we're dangerous but more often they don't and we're a team that's quite easy to play on the transition against. Even with Tonali, he can't defend the midfield on his own (nor should he have to). Another thing, EH doesn't seem to make changes when things are going wrong or we're starting to fall off a bit. He waits until it's gone completely wrong and all momentum is with the opposition e.g. scoring. I'm sure there's clear reasons but I wonder what it would look like if he was more proactive and less reactive. Anyway, Fulham were the better team today. Marco Silva is a very good coach who has got a small club punching way above their weight. Hopefully we'll be better against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted yesterday at 17:06 Share Posted yesterday at 17:06 That’s one of those areas where you’d think could VAR not step in? Gordon obviously and cynically tripped and they go up the other end and score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is so so bad now. No one sings, no one supports just reacts. Corner tried their best but didn't seem anyone else was interested. Performance wasn't great but you should still support.

Stottie Posted yesterday at 17:07 Share Posted yesterday at 17:07 Weak. No ability to keep the ball and slow the game down when they started the second half brighter. Just fake an injury ffs! Buy time and then proactively make changes if it doesn't improve. Somewhat unlucky to not get a second, but ultimately architects of our own demise. Failed to impose ourselves second half and got what was coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagPar Posted yesterday at 17:09 Share Posted yesterday at 17:09 Just now, Theregulars said: Dismal, dismal refereeing cost us there. Wrong. It was the team that cost us. We've got a far better team than Fulham but they dominated the second half and just about deserved the win. If Tonali's screamer had have went in I think it would have been a comfortable victory. A draw would have been a fair result considering Fulhams second half performance. A jammy deflected goal, a shockingly bad winner and the crossbar ultimately cost us. Not the ref though.

On the transfers, i just mean in general, we need those players that give the squad a lift, it pushes players to perform. Having a stale squad doesn't, and i think that's where are now, a stale squad, still playing OK, but in serious need of a freshen up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had options today and there's been players who've looked like they could do with a game or two out but it's the same 11 again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
