Fulham away thread

2-2

Fair play to Fulham. They were well up for that today.

Midfield still an area for concern. Can't build around Thiago.

Sub, injury 20 seconds for gk to kick the ball. 40 extra seconds. First weekend and fully reminded of all the ****ing **** in football that I hate

[dizzycat]

That was horrible, midfield was terrible until Milner sorted it out. Fulham pressed better and tbh could have won. Death my draws again.

[BootRoom]

Good impact from the subs and we started to cause Fulham problems. Performance prior to the substitutions was inexcusable especially in a season opener when everybody should have been raring to go.

[S-RED]

Weird just how poor we were after last Saturday's performance.

[BigChief]

Well that was ****. City won't need 92+ points this season.

[Rigadon]

That was Fulham on a good day and us on a bad day. We still got a point away from home.

Some encouraging signs despite the poor performance.

[Fredo]

Milner was the difference between a draw and a loss imo.

****e generally, especially the back five. VVD looked like Maguire when conceding the pen. Not an encouraging start, especially with another injury.

Fulham might do alright because they’ve worked out how to play PL refs quickly. Loads of ridiculous decisions for them today.

You’re becoming more and more like an old moaning fool.

We’re still undercooked as our pre season has been extended well into the season. Fulham matched and outplayed us in terms of intensity. No big deal losing 2 points at this stage.

Very poor performance, once again for the millionth time we cannot rely on players in the midfield to stay fit, we are so ****ing short there.

Saying it over and over and over. Ox, Keita, Thiago will be injured consistently throughout the season and we are left relying on Milner (played well in fairness) and the kids. Fulham were excellent, they out fought us and they out worked us. Diaz end product really needs to improve and Firmino should never start over Nunez. Not a good start for us.

But he's absolutely spot on Nigel. You can't be an apologist every ****ing time. We should not be losing to the likes of Fulham. We lost the league by a fanny hair last season, a draw like this can be the difference between winning and losing a league championship when you are up against Man City.

Yup. Thankfully the window is still open. Doubt we'll do anything though.

I actually thought Elliot did well once he settled. Too many injury prone midfielders, was an issue and is now getting into emergency territory.

If Thiago's injury is a hamstring I wouldn't be surprised to see us bring in a much needed midfielder before the window closes.

Midfield depth a worry although Elliott looks ready for me. Bobby form a real issue……… that big ****ing oaf caused us the world of problems and he’ll do **** all for the rest of the season. Both Matip and VVD were rattled, casual Trent is infuriating as he is so much better than that

Nunez while still raw is involved in everything and creates mayhem - you need to play him. Thiago injury so predictable and we’ll do nothing…….. fair play to Fulham who ****housed all game, got everything from the ref and outfought us

Gone are the days when it wrecks my weekend but boy God I was annoyed during the game
