    To be fair our two first choice CBs are injured. But yes we are a rabble

      Just have a policy no mucking around at the back. Problem solved and more matches won.

        Yeah we are too frivolous at the back. Just have to get back to basics sometimes

            Dogmeat, that was a hard watch wasn’t it. Leno has been our saviour many times but that was a mare of a game for him. Sometimes playing it out from the back is just wrong. Hoof it upfield and start again. I still think there is a very good team hiding itself and continuing to be very Fulhamish in playing well against good teams and very average against those we should be beating.

              That was a weird game. West Ham with 3 shots and 3 goals, 2 of them gifted by Fulham. Iwobi gets 2 without shooting either time.

                Magpies served with only 12 fit players. Think I heard them say our bench had an average of three premier league games between them. Injury crisis has got to haunt us soon, but for now will take that amazing win. Unexpected and delicious

                  Up the Cherries, one of my favourite sides other than Villa. Funny as I never rated Kluivert when he was at Roma, but man he is some player now.

                    Kluivert should be playing for Fulham. Apparently he had signed terms a couple of years ago? and had visa or work permit problems so couldn’t come.
                    Problem must have solved easily enough and Bournemouth picked him up. With our ability to miss penalties and scoring chances I think we could welcomed him.

                      With Bournemouth, it looks very much like a triumph of the system and the players all knowing their role in that system, even when key players are out. Pressing high is a great way to disrupt your opposition but every player needs to know where to move to or you get caught out and are wide open.

                      Moyes gets a win and goals for Everton - Spurs probably an ideal opponent at this time. Brighton beat Man U yet again, United's formation manages to combine being overrun in midfield with being weak down their defensive flanks. I'm not even sure what they are trying to do.

                        I said it before Amorim came in, 3 centre halfs playing in a low block is asking for trouble in England. The game is too fast for it to succeed there these days. It's an Italian formation that only works in Italy, difference is, is that the Italians are conditioned to playing it.

                          Attack best form defence as Bournemouth burn down Forest. Best PL run ever. Can’t see them beating Liverpool but didn’t see this result coming either

                            Brilliant stuff. I always tell my mates that Bournemouth are more of a threat than Forest and are better than them imo. Today goes a long way to proving that theory right.

                              and confidence is sky high, even without a full squad. Taviner was at least back this week, hopefully a few more back soon.

                              Im not getting too excited about champions league just yet, long way to go, but at least in the fight, although local fans were singing about a European tour lol

                              Everton pull off another upset

                                Further proof that Oliver is a terrible referee. The fact that he is considered to be in the top 2 refs in the EPL says everything about the quality of English refs.

                                  You can sort of excuse Oliver on the pitch in real time etc, but VAR?
                                  Having said that I have read some commentators supporting the red.

                                    VAR couldn't overturn it because they could see where contact was made. Factor in that it was already a certain yellow for it being a "professional foul" then it is definitely more than a yellow. 20250128_083725.jpg

                                      The Gomes challenge was worse. Of course, he should have received a second yellow before then for kicking the ball away. But Oliver...

                                        But his yellow was his second and therefore he was off anyway. VAR isn't going to stop the game to review a potential red.

                                          @KiwiPie It should still have been a red irrespective of having a yellow card. Oliver's decision also influenced the punishment (3 games vs 1 game). There is no consistency.
