Fulham (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[noseve]

Like I said in the match day thread,it's not often a team wins 2 games scores 8 goals and gets absolute pelters off the fanbase.cheer up we're 2nd

Not often a team concedes 6 goals within 4 days against 2 teams near the bottom and gets away with 6 points, either.

Definitely 'exciting' stuff, but you can't wing it for a whole season with such a porous defence. No signs of any coaching going on back there either, so can only hope for some proper defensive personnel come the window.

Still, some more City footage for Sky to use whilst selling TV rights around the world, I suppose.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

To be fair 4 great goals

Wish we could do that....

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..

Full Members Cup Final Chelsea, near enough.

We were not completely dominated by Fulham for 60 minutes and the result suggests that a 4 goal lead WAS a safe enough margin - we won without the need to score again - so trying to claim that it's a "fact" that it wasn't is absurd.

That's what happens when you let a team back into it just before half time ..... they introduce effective subs and suddenly it's backs to the wall for the last half hour !

 

[Matt Diablo]

Had to be done. Not looking at that fuker all Christmas

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Just glad we got over the line but that was a long last 15 minutes.

 

[willipp]

FWIW, 6 points in 3 days feels like an up.

And on Saturday we have to make it 9 from 9. Little bit of momentum building if we do.

 

[Ric]

I don’t think he could have saved any of those shots. To be fair to Fulham their finishing was superb on all the goals they scored.

Yeah, I don’t think he was particularly at fault for any of them, apart from the one where he didn’t punch clear properly (their third I think). Foden and Silva didn’t react quickly enough either though.

 

[bluetonium]

Erm.... What? I said he'd be better off with the triple glazing, but you insisted on pouring the gravy from a glass decanter.

Merry Christmas Fulham, I guess.

 

[burning blue soul]

The whole Real Madrid team tonight!

 

[BluestBlue]

We need muscle and athleticism in the midfield. And effort.

Bernardo just isn't good enough any more. He was awful today. Foden's defensive work is not up to par either.

And how did we not sell Savinho? Good christ he's terrible. The break where he ended up tripping over the ball and the defenders was just a perfect encapsulation of the Savinho experience.

@slbsn was talking on X about how we probably can't afford a big January addition without a sale. Gulp.

Trafford and Marmoush looking like the exists. Savio and Bobb don’t have a place here. Khusonov still no decent mins. Who knows what could happen

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

What’s annoyed me the most the goal difference could of had a better one now if the defence wouldn’t of fucked up

 

[heslops barnet]

16 goals conceded in 14 games, definitely not PL Champions form

 

[gabby69]

Put this team under pressure and they crumble

 

[oakiecokie]

Was he fuck awful he was one of the main reasons we went 5-1 up ffs

Time and time again he gave the ball away. His overall play tonight was poor.

 

[Don Karleone]

 

[Eaststander1]

I'd love to see the mood on that City team coach going back to Manchester .... I bet the fkn lot of them are shell shocked.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Grealish would've made that game less panicky imo

100%.

He would have held onto possession on top of winning numerous fouls to take the pressure off.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

If Arsenal bottle it tomorrow we'll all be buzzing. Lighten up. imagine if we hadn't won a title for 10 years like most of the other big clubs.

 

[i kne albert davy]

The season as A whole - we won’t win fuck all with performances like that!!

Never mind that if there's a more exciting game than that all season, i'd love to watch us win it again.
