same as last year's game...Alvarez scores first at about the same time, they equalise quickly after...

 

[Blue2202]

Anyone want an example of a ref dubiously influencing the match, watch back this half.

The FA's poster boy referee, absolute cnut of a man and referee. You can tell he loves the jeers

 

[Nour]

This one of those games the red is going to kill the game

Ref*

 

[Blu1]

This game is poor in every way

 

[Josh_D]

Allow Doku to go one on one against their defenders. Create the opportunity for such. He’ll scare the fuck out of them.

 

[p.taker]

Doku Palmer whoops if he is the reason he has gone

???

Get Foden central, much better option than Alvarez in the middle, not sure why Alvarez is seen as a creator. Great finisher but still think we're better serviced having Foden central and Silva wide.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I'd get Bernie on for Kovacic and push Phil inside.

 

[cookster]

Always seem to play within ourselves when there's an international break coming.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Footballers nowadays are complete pussies.

 

[Zenmanc]

Ref*

If Rodri gets another you'll be right on both counts

 

[RayCTID]

Ref has got to add time on for this.

 

[hertsblue]

When ever Stone can see whats going on you know the ref is shit:
Fulham are using the type of time-wasting tactics FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been keen to get rid of.

They fumble about when it comes to returning the ball at a free-kick, pretending to trip over the ball as they go past

Should be at least 6 mins added on

Yep, no obviously outrageous decisions, just a succession of little bullshit decisions to constantly break up play. No headlines, and only people who watch the whole game will notice so it won't ever get commented on.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I'd get Bernie on for Kovacic and push Phil inside.

I think it is Bernie for Julian, sadly.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

This is just a shit performance. Players need a rocket up their arse. This formation just isn’t working.

Nah. Ref is breaking up our rhythm.

 

[wolviedinho]

Fulham doing well to break up the flow. The ref is doing his best to stifle play.

 

[Blueknows]

Fucking head injury my arse they just wanted another tactical water break thats 2 now

 

[Blu1]

Haaland had lost a yard in his pace. He’s not even moving the defenders. Bizarre

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Only 5 added….should have been at least 7
