See that young kid in the Fulham end celebrating Álvarez’s goal?

Yeah , really funny.

What has happened to Diaz's passing? Does not look comfortable at all.

Boots on the wrong feet…

Crying out for Phil at 60 minutes is this.

Fulham are allowing JG and RM the space out wide and completely clogging the central corridor knowing that both are inverted and can’t/won’t cross in their non preferred foot so they cut inside and there’s defensive numbers. It’s very congested in that middle corridor. Also, they’re playing a defensive triangle on Rodri to stop ball movement through him. Decent enough half and they’ve only had two shots, but at times it’s looked a little easy for them down our RHS. Pep will sort them out a little at HT. We need another goal or two just to ease the nerves!

I thought he was asleep for the goal, run away from his guy towards the player Ruben was marking, and then the Fulham player was unmarked, scored. Otherwise, Fulham created nothing really, so we are comfortable.

He didn't run away from his guy, he followed the guy and then the ball dropped off for the other guy who was right behind the both of them. Sometimes things just happen in football. No need to find a scapegoat

Sidenote: It looks like no Golden Gloves for us this year.

Credit to Fulham they're targetting him

 

[deano ou812]

We look ropey at the back when they attack,Ake has us looking more solid ..

 

[Saddleworth2]

I think we need more legs in midfield so Bernie for Gundo and Phil for Mahrez. Other than that all good.

 

[dave_blue12]

wanna bet?

Yep, Pep is way too smart to give inflexible instructions

Seen a few dotted around the Fulham end celebrate that.

Always dangerous playing this kind of game after such a big game midweek. We found that out v Forest.

Just need to keep fashioning the chances we did in that first half and I think the goals will come.

Thought Tosin did a better job v Haaland than most Champions League CBs this season (hopefully I’ve jinxed him now).

 

[PragueBlue]

Played well most of that half. Got a bit sloppy with our defensive passing the last few mins which put us under pressure though which we need to cut out.

Had a few decent chances and Grealish was a bit unlucky when hitting the bar after a good save from their keeper. Gundogan also a bit unlucky with his chance.

Tighten up our passing a bit and there's another goal or 2 for us here and we should win this comfortably.

Tad more composure in defence would be welcome. No need to make this any harder than it has to be.

On your earlier post if you find airplane funny it explains why you find Gary ratboy funny. Berkshire, lol

I watched the Father - in - Law wetting himself laughing at that movie one Christmas.

I was like wtf.

I thought someone had spiked his drink.

Terrible movie.

 

[Stelea]

Passing is dire

Crying out for Phil at 60 minutes is this.

yeah instead of Mahrez asap

 

[Damanino]

has a bit of Sunday sleepy vibe on this match, a quick goal in 2nd half could help put them to sleep in this match.

 

[BlueAnorak]

I haven't seen our defence look as ropey as this for ages.

 

[Constantine]

slow stream? -:)

I'm still in awe ...

 

[tony adcock]

Was it Eddys first shot syndrome again?

Not sure what you mean with this comment - absolutely zero he could have done anything about it
