Fulham Post Match Thread

Why oh ****ing why Carroll was playing? He did work hard the last game but he didn't deserve his place above Maxi or Kuyt. Sluggish again today and a nuisance to himself.

Aye.

Didn't do enough to deserve the starting job.

We play completely differently when Maxi is in the lineup and I don't get why he lost his spot and Carroll didn't.

[Spanishfly]

Ref ruined it, however Fulham is the sort of team you would want Carroll to play against to get a goal, he failed. Bench him again, let Maxi play.

I'm going to go against the grain here, but I thought the ref was quite alright. The offside was *definitely* offside, the red had to happen unfortunately. Senderos was outside of the box. Suarez - unfortunately as he does it too much - doesn't get as many free kicks as he should... boy cried Wolf and all that.

We were ****ing ****, ref's got little to do with that in this game.

[Exiled_red]

well, we're toothless up front. simple as that. we create very good openings but don't finish them off.

That's been the problem all season.

[Fredo]

Play broke down at Carroll's feet most times as he slows the game. He's a yard off it, don't think he's going to make it to be honest.

[Darkon]

This just underlines the fact that a striker/finisher have to be our main priority in the January window, without it we won't finish near top-4. We simply lose to many points on the basis that we can't finish our chances that we create (and we create ****loads).

Besides that a horrible game of referering didn't help either, but at least without him we would most likely have gotten a draw.

Bring a goalscorer!

[sean_lfc]

I thought Adam had a decent game. He's looking better conditioned and more likely to last a game. He is getting better. Carroll is not getting better. Henderson is getting better. The referees are not getting better. Enrique is getting better. Our finishing is not getting better.

Aye, in my madness I didn't address the players I meant: Downing/Carroll/Henderson. Had they both scored, Downing/Henderson, we'd hail em as heroes. But it just ain't good enough.

[Spanishfly]

BTW even though it wasn't included and was wrongly ruled off, Suarez's touch was awesome. WHAT A GOAL!

[Yozza]

Lads, Suarez was a mile offside

[BringbackBiscan]

Bellamy and even Suarez didn't do much better, if at all, then Carroll today. People picking on their favourite whipping boy as per usual.

Downing comes on creates a good spark and doesn't get no credit either.

Game was thrown away by either a corrupt/****e ref and some horrid defending & poor keeping. That's the bottom line.

No Lucas
No Maxi...

[BobTheCharmer]

Reina sloppy again.
Johnson was sloppy and casual all night.
Skrtel played well
Agger played well
Enrique great at the back, great bringing ball out, awful decision maker when he gets forward
Henderson, fantastic first half but slipped back in the second.
Spearing, played well and was a great tackle. **** studs showing, worst red I've ever seen. no point actually tackling. resign from the league. **** em.
Adam, good in patches, was defo pen, but he should have played bellamy in
Bellamy, not one of his best games, just didn't happen
Carroll, tried but ultimately can't buy a goal
Suarez, yes he's skilfull and yes he gets hit by defenders, but he plays them for fouls so much, refs just assume he's bull****ting. I hate the going down, minimal contact or not its a trait of the modern game I dislike. another game without a goal. fors ****s sake no one let him have a free kick again, always misses.

frustrated to **** as we needed the 3, but it was never going to be an easy game, thats just us, there isn't a single game I feel confident about. how I'd love to get back to the Utd level, where their fans expect them to win and they do.

[kris90210]

Great effort from the team - worked their socks off. Carroll was absolutely woeful though. **** me, we seriously spent 35 million on him... shocking. We are crying out for a finisher in the team. And while Spearing played well (while he was on the pitch), we certainly need another defensive midfielder now.

I also thought Henderson played well. He's adapting pretty quickly now

[sean_lfc]

Lads, Suarez was a mile offside

Absolutely Can't believe no one's mentioned it.

Fulham should erect a statue of Kevin Friend next to their one of Michael Jackson!
