Fulham (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[eyalluvitt]

Reminds me of when we scored 6 against the rags but then let them score a 3rd and people on here were furious with the 6-3 win.

Or the 2-0 up to win the league 2nd half derby capitulation, the worst in living memory

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Same again, some magical moments and some nightmares.

I think the football we've played at times shows we definitely have the right players (on the whole), it's just a case of them getting some backbone when they need it. I would say we crumbled at times tonight, crazy stuff.

It feels like we were screwed by VAR again too but I've not seen replays of their offside goal. The whole thing around offsides and City seems weird at the moment.

I have seriously gone the other way, nothing surprises me and I have come to the conclusion I don't care as much as I used to.

It sounds bad but in reality it's a life saver :)

I'm going to try and be more like you:)

 

[kupest]

Looking at the highlights he stopped them getting double figures. Our defense and midfield gave him a busy night

He had 1 decent save I think.

 

[Indaparkside]

Beat the rags, beat the scousers, arsenal last minute equaliser away , 2nd in the league 2 points of the top, people need to calm down I’ve noticed most who post shit have only seen the glory days, and will probably be getting ribbed in the school playground tomorrow

 

[bert38]

Glaring lack of midfield options really hampering us.

 

[Eaststander1]

Dog and white rug, you OK?

Lol, I was before that 2nd half started !

 

[kanovic]

Our defense is this bad we khuso can’t get a game

I'm the same - I got to the point where it we won a single League Cup I would die happy. So if we never win another trophy I'm in credit!

 

[BluestBlue]

I’d feel so embarrassed for that performance.

5-1 to that mess ?

 

[oakiecokie]

Can I come out from behind the settee?

Yes but don`t come on Blue Moon its even worse. ;)

Fulham were miles onside mate

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Fuck Anderson we need fucking Rodri back. Wouldn't be out long Pep said over 2 months ago.

Worrying setback for sure

Just never play savinho again I don’t care get him out on loan or let spurs have him for free..As for that game fantastic for the neutral,but how do you fall apart being 5-1 up and then end up hanging on,fair play to Fulham they deserve the plaudits does anyone think if we were 5-1 down we’d of had Fulham holding on,I doubt it very much..

Momentum in sport is huge. When you have it you can go 1-5 up, when you lose it it’s extremely difficult to get it back and the other team can build it and run with their own momentum and make it 4-5.

It’s why you often see teams lose big leads in title races. It’s not that they’ve bottled it, it’s just that once you relax and even begin to coast, it’s very difficult to get back up to the previous levels where you were building the lead with the momentum built.

Shambolic, Shameful, Disgraceful, and we are the 2nd best team in the Premier League
We are shocking at defending. Sorry, Why we only have 2 defenders on the pitch ? It's a joke ? WE NEED FULLBACKS.
MR Magoo can see our weakness out wide and the PANIC from the 2 centre-backs is clear to see because of the lack of help they are getting.

The 3 points we take home taste bitter after being 5.1 up. It does nothing to take us forward into the weekend game.
if anything, it puts fear into everybody that we can not close games out and Sunderland will fancy themselves

1 goalkeeper 2 fucking defenders and 8 forwards Not good enough Pep

 

[argyle]

5-1 to that mess ?

We won.

 

[mancity111]

Rather focus on the positives and there were a few.

5 goals away from home , Haaland reachiing the ton , second in the league , 2 points behind Arsenal who are not world beaters , 19 wins on the spin against Fulham , 16 in the premier league.

In saying all that we are struggling to play games out and 5 conceded in the past two second half's against mediocre opposition cannot continue. Fitness levels and an ability to close out games like we used to do have to improve markedly.

 

[bitterblue78]

Will pep tho

I think the team can learn from the last two games. We'll see.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Savinho has nailed the art of tackling himself.

Maybe he should get the others in for coaching sessions.

Could've easily got a yellow for bringing himself down.

 

[Norbiton]

That was fun! FOCs like me would have just assumed we weren’t going to hang on at 5-4, but we did and I for one am celebrating winning the cup for cock ups without actually dropping any points.
