03:15 - not sure what robinson was doing there
dodged a bullet there
really poor from robinson
Our usual slow start
wake up you whites!
Trying to give any early goal away again....
Dreadful so far. Getting nowhere near them like Forrest
yeeesss!!!!!!!!
GET IN
Dozey start. Wake up Fulham!
Andreas! right to marco to celebrate - great feelling
No Cairney starting means no possession so far
YES
totally against the run of play and probably undeserved but lets go
:welcome1: ::scarf:: ::bump::
Yeeeeeeeees
well taken by pereira to not just try and smash it, but took a touch and gave himself an open goal
Great start
so close
fabulous job to break the press especially by bassey, pereira could have had a second
pereira almost with 2 there
Great move. Unlucky but should score
I'm not one of Andreas' biggest fans - but this is what he needs to do more of. He could easily be a 6-8 goal a season player if he made those sorts of runs in to the box more consistently.
we look really dicey defending these corners, feel like we concede on one if we keep giving them chances
Iwobi & Willian looked to have switched flanks.
Perhaps it's something we'll see them change up a few times a half
Delighted for Andreas, I hope it gives him the confidence to push on and get a couple more. As others have said he really should be getting 6-8 in a season.
POTM is in for a beating today.
the linesman seems to want to wave his flag only when the whistle blows - lets see how readily he waves it in the 2nd half when west ham are on the attack
Palace beating Liverpool
We mustn't sit back. Push for the second
were andreas in scoring form, he'd have 3 so far today. happy for the first, though. no doubt about it
poor officiating today.
What is he watching?
So many chances missed again.
Keep up the pressure boys.
took 41 mins for the commentators to mention Mitro - not bad this time
Frigging hell their keep us keeping them in it here. Need to take one of these chances
Iwobi should have scored then
Palace cutting through the Liverpool defence with ease.
Muniz hold up has been very good today

hes a bit of a punching bag and a pin cushion so far

At the very least.
Quote from: St Eve on April 14, 2024, 02:46:38 PMIwobi should have scored then
Or at least hit the target. He was in acres of space
Great first half but we should have scored three if not four goals. Flashes of the last game. Hopefully we don't pay the price.
Just need to keep playing positively and hopefully we will get the second goal.
Also - Marco needs to hold fire on making subs unless they are really necessary.
Quote from: Bassey the warrior on April 14, 2024, 02:50:16 PMGreat first half but we should have scored three if not four goals. Flashes of the last game. Hopefully we don't pay the price.
We have been saying that a lot this season...
Great half so far minus the short period at the start of the match. Hopefully more of the same in the second half. Would like to see Adama at some point, their fullbacks go pretty high up the pitch and he could use the space.
The BBC text makes it sound like a basketball game that could be 5-5
The best I've seen of Andreas Pereira for a while. He has looked dangerous. We ought to be at least 2 up. Now let's get an early goal in the 2nd half to kill the game.
I am just following the game on here. Missed chances, dominating....didn't we do that against Newcastle in the firsr half? Hope we dont see a repeat..
Bassey has been immense. MOTM for me so far.
It's just like watching Brazil.
(Well, 3/11ths of Brazil)
This game cries out for Adama
Sounds as if we should have scored enough to have the game sewn up. West Ham could now sort themselves out and take the match leaving us again crying over spilt milk.
COYW prove me wrong a score a couple more.
Agree with the Adama shouts. Game has been very stretched. Once again we look so much more dangerous with less of the ball hitting on the break rather than up against 11 men behind the ball. 1.3 to their 0.8 xg which seems about right. Defo should have had a second. Hope we don't rue the chances like last week. Come on lads!
Iwobi has done nothing today
Quote from: St Eve on April 14, 2024, 03:00:49 PMThis game cries out for Adama
iwobi doing well, but certainly missing a telling touch - Adama perhaps the right replacement
i see wilson out warming up...
Iwobi pretty poor. Would sub him early
Wilson is warming up. Hopefully it's just a ploy
certainly dont want mavropanos to be subbed off. he has one assist and close on a second
Quote from: akf on April 14, 2024, 03:10:19 PMi see wilson out warming up...
It had better be Adama on for Iwobi not Wilson. Has to be an Adama game this. So much space!
From what I've seen today, Palace may be a tougher challenge than Liverpool.
Pereira really loves those little trick passes and to be fair they do catch defenders off guard at times

wilson, bdr, raul...
another miss ::angry::
Iwobi should have scored again
This frigging keeper!!!! ::angry::
Quote from: Rambler on April 14, 2024, 03:10:56 PMIwobi pretty poor. Would sub him early
Agree...he seems to be in two minds all the time...
We should have put this game to bed by now
It's a really good save but he has to score
Agree Adama should come in for Iwobi. Iwobi had some good moments, but honestly he should have scored 2. By far two of our best chances were missed by him.

That should happen now
We've seen this movie before.
Profligate in front of goal and keeping them in it.
Adama seems to me to be in a similar situation to TC under Marco, neither get the minutes they arguably deserve, both underused.
Luck boy Pereira.....
joao so close again!
My god we have to take one of these chances. Come on lads
and 3 misses for Palhinha...
We've got enough attacking options on the bench, surely they are there for just this sort of situation? Adama for Iwobi, TC for Lukic?
Yes, we know the goalie is pretty good, you don't need to shoot at him...
i think marco is enjoying watching / participating in the game too much to think about the subs... (as if he doesnt have coaches involved)
Quote from: Twig on April 14, 2024, 03:25:46 PMWe've got enough attacking options on the bench, surely they are there for just this sort of situation? Adama for Iwobi, TC for Lukic?
Makes sense to me
marco just called for someone...
Looks like West Ham have changed their entire team
I thought I saw a tug on Muniz in the area then...
wilson & Bobby?
Yes!
Why is Adama not coming on?!
AAAAAPPPPP!!!
oh wwow!!!
YESSSS
Super Fulham soccer side!!!!! :welcome1: :Khan_you_fix_it: :slap: :slap: :slap: :guitar-playHDs: ::angry:: ::angry:: ::angry:: ::angry:: ::angry::
ANDREAS!!!!!
COYW
Yeeeeeees
Wow
OK, nice pass Iwobi, through the wickets...
He loves playing West Ham! Get in!
Lucky I told Marco to keep Iwobi on and make sure Adama didn't get on the pitch
:slap: ::scarf::
WHU fans leaving the ground after 72 minutes
wilson & bdr on for iwobi & andreas
my gut says:
keep andreas on (even though on yellow)
adama would have been choice over bdr
prove me wrong marco!
Quote from: Drewry66 on April 14, 2024, 03:33:32 PMLucky I told Marco to keep Iwobi on and make sure Adama didn't get on the pitch
:slap: ::scarf::
Yeah we all wanted Iwobi to stay on didn't we? Ooops
Now concentrate boys. We were in this position v Burnley away and didn't win.
POTM should have a couple too
It's just like watching Brazil (again)
Andersen almost got an assist to put Palace up 2 nil against Liverpool (I still.miss Andersen, he was great for Fulham).
Wish I had done that win double on a Palace and Fulham win today, great scores at the moment.
reed warming up.
POTM???? who is he?
how is that a yellow????
joke to give a yellow to BDR but whatever
Sasa looks MUCH better when he starts.
Really struggles to pick up the pace of the game when he comes off the bench but he's a different animal when he begins on the pitch.
Quote from: jarv on April 14, 2024, 03:38:23 PMPOTM???? who is he?
Player of the Month... Muniz...
lets see muniz get a goal before he gets subbed off
I really like Harry Wilson, especially when he comes in as a late sub (not as a starter). But sometimes his passing is really weak. He is good at the counter attack when taking shots at goal.
POTM = Muniz
POTUS = Joe Biden
POTATO = Scott Parker
Looks like Adama finally
Quote from: Steeeeeeeeeed on April 14, 2024, 03:44:44 PMPOTM = Muniz
POTUS = Joe Biden
POTATO = Scott Parker
Don't you mean Biden for Parker's spot too?
Poor guy gets cracked by his own guy.
Thoughts and prayers.
that is at least 5 mins added
The problem with Adama is I don't think he trusts him defensively. Why he never came on at 1 0 I reckon (worked out well with Iwobi assist). Means he'll only ever use him chasing games in the main but a shame as he could have ripped it with space in this game.
West Ham United are not very good when falling behind. One of the criticism of David Moyes is that he does not change tactics when they are losing. And it seems the WH fans have already accepted a loss.
If the score line stays this way, it will be a first double win for Fulham over West Ham in over a half century.
11 minutes
Didn't really give Muniz much of a chance today but brilliant hold up and link up play from him.
11 minutes plucked out of the air for increased chance of added drama. Keep it tight lads.
i keep forgetting adama's skill level because i think of him as speed - kind of like kamara. adama has a much silkier touch than the old penalty grabber
Should be a red for Paqueta there
Andersen just got the MOTM award Vs Liverpool.
14 clearances, he has been immense.
Pure Class he is.
Quote from: Lordedmundo on April 14, 2024, 03:57:03 PMShould be a red for Paqueta there
Feel like I read this in every single game he plays ::angry::
doing the double over west ham....priceless
Quote from: Lordedmundo on April 14, 2024, 03:57:03 PMShould be a red for Paqueta there
I'm amazed that was just a yellow
I think Salah will be off to Saudi next season.
Quote from: Lordedmundo on April 14, 2024, 03:57:03 PMShould be a red for Paqueta there
I mean I do understand his frustration somewhat, as I do think Castagne catches him in the face before that, but he acted like a petulant child. No attempt to kick the ball whatsoever. Red card all day long.
Quote from: akf on April 14, 2024, 03:58:41 PMdoing the double over west ham....priceless
Yeah after last season horrendous hand ball cheating feel so sweeeet to absolutely own them this year.
::scarf::
Quote from: SP on April 14, 2024, 03:59:33 PMI think Salah will be off to Saudi next season.
Yup
Take the 3 and run. ::cool::
I've disliked WHU since 1975 - happy days!
andreas - deserves to be motm, at least, for taking 2 of his chances
Well deserved win for the Whites. At times this season they could beat anyone. The low point was when they lost to Burnley 2-0 at home.
Handled that disgraceful amount of added time very well. Well done lads, we owe West Ham that many times over ::thumb::

Yep. Six of the sweetest points we could possibly get. Loved to see all those empty seats at the final whistle. ::wine:: ::scarf::
