This can not continue. 2nd in league means nothing

I do genuinely understand the point you're making, but we are 2nd and I probably don't agree with '2nd in the league means nothing'.

However, I know where you're coming from.
 
Every time I see someone get a dodgy assist (Haalands 2nd) i automatically think of the one they took of KDB against Arsenal which would of broke the record. Anyway, wins a win!

The second line is. Fulham scored goals that they wouldn’t have normally. One of those weird games. Credit to our team for closing it out. Appreciate that’s not the done thing on here.

Not sure we closed it out comfortably .... we looked in a right dishevelled defensive state in that last 20 minutes, and all our players could do was glare at one another in disbelief.

Khusanov has only played 9 PL games for us, and maybe only 2 or 3 of them this season. He is a CH and not a RB and cannot pass the ball straight.
RB is a huge weak link in our squad

He went off injured away at Brighton and we fell apart when he went off.

He came back after the break and started against the Rags, Napoli and Arsenal. He was immense away at Arsenal and again went off injured.

He can definitely play that position but I agree he's a centre half and should be starting either way imo.

We need to sign a RB, doubt it will be January unfortunately.
 
Don’t know if it’s already been said but the reason that second half swung so wildly was the substitution of Nico. He was already trying to plug gaps solo and then when he wasn’t there it was a shooting gallery from the edge of the box. With Kovacic out long term and Rodri hit and miss with fitness, our next signing has to be a CM. Anderson or Wharton, I’d take either but we need more control in that midfield. Bernardo was great picking up the ball and trying to instil some control but the defensive side of his game was lacking.

Now for Savinho, I know a lot on here don’t like him. I think there’s a lot of talent there but when you come on in a game where your teams under the coch and you swing a lazy leg at challenges and fumble counter attacks it’s not a great look. I feel like he’s going to come good in future but I just don’t feel like it’s going to be here. A parting of the ways next summer looks best for both.

I know we're waiting for Rodri to get back, but it's going to take a while for him to get up to speed, so i'd try and bring in Wharton or Anderson in January.

We really need a proper RB who can defend too.

Rodri learned from Fernandinho. To be fair to Pep he probably thought we had a good 3 to 4 years of Rodri and then Foden would step in. Unfortunately you can't fathom for Rodri's injury.

His uncertainty on crosses led to the chaos.

Never seem team score from every half chance like that however.

Traffordmwould have dealt with them better and we would have won the game comfortably.

He was not uncertain, he punched them away. Which is what Trafford would have done most likely.

Counter factual fiction is not the answer to sorting this team out. And the GK is not the issue. Taking off our DM on 64 caused all of the problems. And judging by Pep’s comments after the game he’s focussing on that. Hope Rodri can play soon.

Very, very good point about Savinho.

Yep TBF based upon Nunes arse now fell out and the volume of games to play, we may as well play somebody else

He probably meant to say 'FINISHING 2nd in the league means nothing' because people generally don't remember runners up when they look back..
