Fulham (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

[IronsideKozuch]

Its always meant to be a hard and a bit ugly game due to mental aspects and Pep preety much announced it few days ago. You just cant maitain 110% of intensity at this level week in week out. Players unconciously feel a bit of difference between Bayern, Real, Arsenal ties and Fulham away with all the respect. Its even harder to lift yourself up to the mental top of the mountain away of home.

Was a very good result and its all that matters.

4 wins, 2 draws. Or 5 wins. Very doable

 

[Crooked_rain]

Good 3 points

What matters at this point of the season is you get 3 points in games that aren't a walk in the park. That's what we just did and Arsenal have been failing to do recently.

Hopefully a bit of a reminder that any game can be tough in this league. Fulham are a solid team and worse teams than Fulham have taken points off us this season.

Overall

Nothing to do with the referee, after a big game midweek, we looked lacklustre and missed big chances in both halves, plus Mahrez and Ederson were wank.

the ref seemed ok today in one’s opinion.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Top of the table.

I hope Walker doesn’t make a habit of grappling players in the box. A ref could easily have given that.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Oh and Gundogan will be a big miss if he's going elsewhere.

 

[chickaroon]

Haaland looked emotional at one point during the game

I noticed that. It was after he scored the penalty.

He actually fouled Walker..
He was looking to con the ref

 

[I'm Blue]

I’d be gutted to see him go, he’s been an amazing player for us.
We keep on evolving though

I was only watching in real time so not seen any slow mo. It looked like he hurled him to the floor. If a ref wanted to screw us, that’s his chance.

 

[burning blue soul]

Performance of champions. Top of the league. Back on our perch.

Fulham were no mugs. They harried, pressed, and competed well all game. Heads didn't drop when down.

Oh, and they dived like Olympic champions, the cheating twats.

@cbl probably hitting the nail on the head, Mino Raiola’s anniversary of his passing

 

[FantasyIreland]

Glad that fucker is out of the way,that's a mighty fine 3 points that had the potential to go tits up.

I didn't like the line up,it looked disjointed and so it proved.

But.....it just about worked....we are top of the fuckin league and on we march!

Fulham player was grappling Walker….

Var would overrule it.
Fulham played hugged Walker. Even an Arsenal fan would give the offensive foul.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Looked really leggy after 60 mins we had done enough to be out of site by then. Some rotation needed next 2 games gundogan rodri dias grealish haaland all need some kind of rest. I'd imagine most will cone against Leeds.

 

[El Gringo]

We got everything in our locker...grinded and dug in for that. We'll done blues. Away support great again

 

[ancoats]

I think Haaland should be given a special platinum boot and not just the golden boot

To me the Fulham player wrapped his arm around Walker who shrugged him off at which point the Fulham player went into Oscar winning mode . Can't see what else Walker's meant to do? Or do you expect him to just step aside?

Fair enough. It was one of those at the time where I’d have wanted a pen if it was us.
