Fulham (a) Post Match Insanity Thread

[Exiled_red]

That was awful!

Alot of the problems were due to players that were unavailable, but we have to work with what we had and we lacked creativity. The players we had out on the pitch should have done better though, we were very poor all over the pitch.

The decisions to take our only two threatening players off when we weren't in front was a very bizzare decision, which I don't understand! Maybe they were injured but I hope not! or else we're in real trouble!! If not it would seem the manager has placed a higher priority on Champions League games, alternatively he's been told we are relying on progressing in Champions league for transfer funds, either of which would be very worrying.

well what can i say just got in from watching the michael jackson movie and this debacle.....

There was more life in Jacko than our team today...............

Need to drink heavily

Tomorrow will be painfull

[g.red]

If Rafa took Benny and Torres off for tactical reasons then I'll buy him a ticket back to Spain now.

If he didn't?

[vonk]

It's a shambles. We will be lucky to finish fourth. Now I'm questioning whether Skrtel and Agger were actually ill or just rested. The substitutions of Benny and Torres, our two best players indicate he has given up on the league.

However, he is not stupid, and he must know the fans will turn on him if we feel the league has been conceded at this early stage.

Something has got to give here. This cannot go on much longer.

He had the match against Lyon in mind, that was no tactical decisions. Everything went wrong today, **** it, everything went wrong this season. The defence has been a shambles and the main reason we're losing games.

Thats no excuse though, fine if we were winning but at 1-1. He's obviously given up on the EPL in Oct and thats shocking.

He needs to explain himself for todays performance. I don't have a problem with us losing today, we have a lot of injuries, but to take off Torres and Benny for next weeks game in a competion we'll probably be out of in a few weeks its terrible.

In fairness Degen should never have been sent off for the challenge, it was a booking at best

Carra FFS the man was offside and Carra took the ball first

[anfieldanfield]

More than half of the players in our squad today aren't fit to play for the reserves, let alone wear the first team shirt.

That's the bottom line. We've got a **** load of footballers at this club who aren't anywhere near good enough.

If we don't qualify from our Champions League group then I can't really see how anyone can still back Rafa...

[Shaggy]

Lowest ebb since the dark days at the end of Houllier's reign. I make that 6 defeats in the last 7. WTF.

[FatTony]

If he didn't?

What do you mean if he didn't? If they were injured/unfit then obviously its understandable.

[Slim]

It's incredible to think that about 6 months ago I genuinely thought we'd win the league. Now I fear Rafa is going to be out soon. Our squad is a disaster and we can't win an argument.

I feel sick.

[Fierce]

Kneejerk reactions aside, its coming to the point whereby even the most staunch of Rafa supporters (of which I class myself as one) must be questioning some of his decision making

Torres & Benayoun were head and shoulders our best players. I can see the argument for the CL game, abso*******lutely Bob, but there is a time to consider players for the next game. That time, IMO, should be when a positive result for the current game is in sight. Today, it wasn't

The red cards are immaterial and I fully expect at least one to be overturned

Was talking to a City fan this arvo and it struck me that I rarely enjoy watching us play football these days

[reds123]

But that was Rafa's problem in the last 2 years. He had to solve it! And he wasted 7 million on the likes of Dossena! And he playes players out of position !! No Torres no goals but he wasted 20 million on Keane and he still didn't buy a good partner for him! Kuyt is useless without Gerrard and Torres!

[-V-]

I understand why Johnson, Gerrard and Riera were injured.

BUT I want to know where - Agger, Skrtle, Aurelio, Ngog and Aqualani all were? Even if it was swine flu then I atleast want that answer

Torres taken off when were are drawing 1-1? The only player who could have saved us????

Answers on a postcard please

And from a similar situation of strength when we we supposed to kick on for that extra step. This is all very strange. Today was a very strange game, un-Rafa like. I supposed there might have been a bug sweeping through all our squad.

Another worrying thing is Torres and Benni being unhappy (and were ranting) at being substituted. This is not good for team morale and Rafa must have all his players behind him now, because he's probably going through the lowest moments of his reign.

[Marky]

There's serious ****ing isses at Liverpool Football Club and no excuses with regards injuries. Fulham had Johnson and Murphy out.

We're a laughing stock an none of this YNWA bollocks, **** that ****. It's time as fans we stopped putting up with this crap season after season. Believe it or not i'm as loyal a Liverpool fan as you'll find and i support my team through thick and thin but sometimes you just think why ****ing bother. I spend a fortune on LFC(as many do) and i see cunts like Babel, Riera and Voronin mopping about on the pitch not giving a **** and it ****ing rips you apart inside. I'm not blaming them three, it's several different factors thats led to us being in this mess.
