We needed that goal to stand, a bit of a lift early on.

They’re technically very poor. Underhit/overhit passes. Headers not going far out. Final ball is poor.

They won’t suddenly turn this around, at best we hope thy manage to get some results and points on the board. I hope I’m wrong but mount won’t offer much.

Our squad is poor. Maybe stick Amrabat on for The Scottish Player or Bruno and push Eriksen a bit forward. Then whoever we have no ball from defence to midfield because evans and maguire are the CBs .

We have lack the technical ability , can only really attack down one side because Antony is so shit.

Maybe swap Antony for pellestri but he seems to be ineffective . Maybe stick Mainoo on but all the hopes on an inexperienced 18 year old who’s just come back from injury.

Stick varane on and see if he can start passing between the lines. Or mejbri and play him next to Højlund in a 352

Any option we do have provides very little guarantee and it’s hope more than anything

Got to the stage where you can’t even celebrate goals any more. I didn’t even flinch when that Mct goal went in. If there’s a way to chalk a goal off, they will.

Should still win this. Not because we deserve it but because Fulham don’t seem to have anything about them. If they nick a goal though, can’t see us getting back into it. Look totally flat again.

They were going to take as long as they needed to disallow that goal. Whatever happened to clear and obvious? If it takes 10 minutes how the £#%&! can it be either clear or obvious?

Antony contributes absolutely nothing in the final third. Why not try Mount there? Surely he can't offer less than nothing so what do we have to lose?

Passing from our midfield and forwards is atrocious.

We're going to come unstuck on the break if we can't take better care of the ball. We have far too many men committed forwards and Maguire and Evans are not exactly speedy.

Likewise.

You just know it’s coming. A forensic analysis with equivalent detail to the average murder enquiry.

Corruption la!

Feel we just need a moment. One good move. A mistake. If we can get our noses in front, we can build some confidence.

Everyone pointing out that we look flat. Well, yeah. We’re on a massive downer and that wasn’t suddenly going to change.

It’s just a pisstake. Watching didn’t celebrate as thought we have to wait for them
To find a way to disallow it. The fact the ref has to check says it’s all. @#%&!s. Massive massive @#%&!s

We scored 2 goals in stoppage time against Brentford and that couldn’t shake them out of this.

We had a last min penalty save and that couldn’t build anything.

This is deeper than needing just “ a moment” this is fundamentally broken

This ten minutes after half time is where we need to keep our heads. Feels like we’ve conceded straight after half time in every game we’ve played.

It’s pathetic.

Yeah same. Unfortunately.

I meant for winning this game. Building real confidence to improve over time will take a lot longer.

Is there a thicker @#%&! in football than Jermaine Jenas?

Doesn’t help when recruitment has been poor. Three players in the last 18 months Eriksen varane Casemiro already now have to be replaced.

There is nobody off the bench, I find it hard to believe he wanted Mount desperately because he would play him.

Giving him Amrabat on loan on deadline day in a shitty quick fix loan and go here do something now.

Same with Casemiro reaction signing near deadline day.

It’s going to be a tough second half but hopefully we can still pull a win

There is, but he has that deadly combination of being thick but thinking he’s really smart.

Also known as Martin Keown syndrome.

Right on cue… Jenas:

“I don’t see a style of play…and why hasn’t he changed it up”

Right, so you want him to adopt a style, but also change things for the sake of variety.

What’s his username on here?
