We got to embrace the chaos in our game. Seriously the game was thrilling watch and always felt like we had it in our locker to make something happen despite the misses

I feel Fulham’s first half game was by design with chaos in our game. It was shock to the system for fans because we are. It used to it but it seems like it is by design if anything. Pep slowly letting go of control and we are different team all together. The football is exciting!

I think there is a balance to be struck. I don't mind adding a bit of chaos in parts of the game but we need to then tighten the control elsewhere. As fun as yesterday was their first goal kills you dead in the latter stages of the CL. Gives Pep plenty to work with though, and if we can get the balance right we can add to our game.

I can't believe that we have added another string or two to our now, and bedded a bunch of young exciting players in, the season after a treble.

I agree with nearly everything but I think you underestimate the performance - we still had 15 shots on target and getting on for 30 shots overall, and if their goalie hadn't had a worldy, we'd have won by 5 or 6. That's the first time this season we've had so many chances, and it was away against a difficult, unbeaten team. Couldn't have asked for much more, performance-wise.

And West Ham weren't exactly poor either. When the dust settles this season I think they'll be in and around the European places playing some of the best counter attacking football in Europe.
 
3 points from an away game where we were far from our best,versus a team that have started brilliantly and confidence is an all time high is not to be sniffed at.

15 points from 5 games while missing key players,playing in 2nd gear,with a few square pegs,and bedding new recruits into our system and style........awesome stuff!

I take you back to the Bernabeu last spring.

Well I suppose it needs the qualifier of "has the potential to", but a lose touch leading to a counter attack goal when our defence isn't set is something I am sure we wall want to cut out of our game.

Given that Grealish often struggles to beat the first man with his shots I’d love to see him try RW but probably Doku goes to the right

I still think Grealish could play central just behind the striker(s). He just doesn't lose the ball and the cheap fouls he gets off opponent donkeys would create a further 6-10 shots per game.

Of course; no one wants to go behind, in any game. It was a sloppy goal, definitely. But I have faith in the mentality of this group of players.
