Stop accepting mediocrity. No I don't expect us to smash them 50-0 but what I do expect is the team being able to string 3 passes together, attack with urgency and test the opposition goalkeeper.
Yep. There's no way of skirting the issue - we're not playing well.
Frustrating because it's almost all on us. Yes, Fulham are working hard, but we're not at it. And as it stands, there's a real danger that they could nick one - if we were to drop points here (and of course I'm not saying we will) it would be a monumental fuck-up. That's why there's so much frustration and criticism of the performance. Up it for 10-15 minutes, we'll get another and put the game to bed.
We're playing pretty much how anyone should expect a team with a midfield combo of Garcia and Barry to play. The Arsenal game masked it because we had a man advantage, but if that's what we can muster due to Yaya's absence then we just have to play a bit less like our usual selves. It ain't pretty, but hopefully it will get the result.
