Some cunts aren't happy if they're not moaning.

Maybe it's a coping strategy for many people ? How can you not enjoy those 3 goals we scored and being 3-1 up away ?

 

[argyle]

Imagine how good we'll be with Rodri in the side.

We're going to be pretty good in the New Year!

If you’re not delighted with that first half and being 3-1 up away from home against a decent Fulham then I don’t when you will be.

Of course I am delighted with the overall 45 mins but you made an issue of me stating that we do braindead things. Then lo and behold, we concede from a braindead action from Gvardiol and then arguably another from Nunes.

We literally do everything we can to help the opposition, when they don’t deserve anything. Two goals against Leeds, another tonight. Completely avoidable situations but as I said, we do braindead things.

I don’t know how you can watch us, and think otherwise.

 

[jimharri]

Just checked; tonight is our 14th PL game of the season. 5 clean sheets. Our defence is certainly the weak link on the team.

That aren’t robots, playing football at your command. It was a great goal by Fulham.

The only reason they scored that goal was because of a shit touch by Nunes.

He boots that up the pitch and we go in 3 nil at HT. Pretty much game over.

Now Fulham have something to bite in to for the second half.

 

[No.8]

Well, perhaps we can add a few more and change their minds?

You can fuck off with all that positivity!! No place for that kind of thinking here!!!

: )

 

[plattlanebenches]

Great scoreline, played some good stuff at times but played a lot of sloppy stuff too and seem very open at the back. Fulham helped us a lot in being equally as sloppy themselves. Doubt they'll repeat that performance second half so we need to tighten up and put this to bed with another goal or two to avoid having another wobble. Just need a decent 90 minutes.

Foden has been bang on it even without the goal, Nunes has been great, gvardiol is coaching O'reilly through the game well. Doku's had a fairly poor game despite the assist, i'd be tempted to introduce marmoush for him as first sub but also feel like second half, as they push to get back into it, it could be his time to make a big impact.

Stop chasing the ball forward constantly, be aware of runners off the back, nothing silly and we should have this sewn up as they'll be chances to break on them and kill it but I'd love a boring, no action 0-0 second half.

Spot on mate. Great summary.

And many posters

Two minutes from the end of the half , put your foot through it and play the game fifty yards further away from your goal , basic .

Cruising

Is that what you’re up to later?

 

[WestGorton]

Keep attacking I think now. Go for goals.

 

[Cuban heels]

Get Khusanov on second half

 

[Phil1]

Not for me. Three great goals, and some really nice attacking play, but we've been too open and are still way too soft as a team. The amount of 50-50s we lose is unacceptable.

It’s atrocious, every single game we try and be too fucking clever on 50/50s and just end up on the back foot.

 

[marco]

lol, if they pull this level im getting out of here

 

[hilts]

No football intelligence, a recurring theme with him

No it was a difficult ball to control, fuck all to do with intelligence, like prople who watch but dont see i guess.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Just checked; tonight is our 14th PL game of the season. 5 clean sheets. Our defence is certainly the weak link on the team.

Yet we have a keeper who constantly makes brilliant saves

 

[dadnlad]

All moans about Sky aside… I enjoyed that half time coverage far more than the usual. Just the commentators reviewing the goals. No having to listen to a half time of Micah / Redknapp / Spitty talking shite in an expensive studio. More games like this please.

just looked at players boots for 4 minutes while game going on

 

[heslops barnet]

Doku needs a good slap, wake up

 

[Eaststander1]

Such a poor goal to concede. First Gvardiol gives away a needless corner, then we defend it well and Nunes trips over his feet trying to control the ball rather than just clearing it.

Doku is struggling out there, would bring Marmoush on soon.

Nice to see us take our chances for once. Reijnders looking a lot more comfortable.

I've been giving Reijnders some stick this season, but he's played really well so far tonight, so fair play to him ..... really good goal too.

 

[Micky Blue]

Just checked; tonight is our 14th PL game of the season. 5 clean sheets. Our defence is certainly the weak link on the team.

It would be a lot worse if it wasn’t for Donnarumma.

 

[super_city_si]

Fodens having a stormer. Reijnders looks to have turned up too. Doku giving it away way too much.
