Fulham (H) | PL | Post-Match

Agree, but in what way did he nit go for the ball?

My opinion on it earlier above.
Shoving a player in the back isn’t trying to get the ball.

If he’d dived in and just missed the ball and taken Wilson out, he’d have got a yellow card.

As it was, he didn’t move his feet to attempt to get the ball, fouled Wilson and got sent off for it.

It‘s a textbook example of a DOGSO penalty and red card.
 
Grealish doesn’t have it behind the ears to be a Pepball player. He can retain basic information, but he could never do what KDB or Bernardo did today.

He‘s also devoid of confidence at the moment, which doesn’t help.

I have to agree. He's a limited player. That doesn't mean he's a bad player because he isn't. He was perfect for Villa and yesterday he would have been perfect for Fulham. Like he did for Villa he would have carried the ball and ran at us, getting them up the pitch and causing us problems. It wouldn't matter if he lost the ball occasionally as they'd factor for him doing that but the reward would outweigh the risk as they were playing defensively anyway. It's totally different playing for us and as a result of that it's highly debatable that it's ever going to work for him here.

Grealish wasn't that bad yesterday,it would be helpful for him to have a more defensively competent left back behind him,imo.
 
Very, very naive by Cancelo. He's terrific going forward and gives us so much, but by God he's unintelligent in defence at times. Him and Salah was another one like that, although I'm still absolutely convinced that Salah uses his upper arm to flip the ball down onto his foot. Oddly, not apparently reviewed by VAR.
I thought the same
 
I fucking love it when we ruin dreams in the last minute. Not a chance that at any point in that game we were worth anything but 3 points. God I hate teams that won't even have a go when we're down to 10. Fuck off, Fulham
