COYW!!! May the Force be with us... ::cool::
Sorry, I had to go there...
Strong lineup. Fulham at their best when Willian starts. Hope they can sign him for another year.
Can someone remind them they are not wearing stripes...?
so close from iwobi
COME ON FULHAM
::scarf::
working stream anyone?
oh my. 2nd give away by Wilian. what is going on?
Saved by the bar, but should be 1-0 down
black/pink, black/pink, black/pink...
Surprisingly, Willian has given two bad passes already. This is so uncharacteristic of him.
This game is not going to finish 0-0.
We're creating plenty of through balls....but to Brentford players....
Congratulation to Ipswich Town promotion.
Always nice to see the smaller clubs take a crack at the Premier League.
I am surprised that Brantford content to sit back and let Fulham create chances.
Fulham need to take advantage.
it feels like the chemistry on both sides between wilian & robinson, and iwobi & castagne isnt there yet today.
If we can stop giving the ball away we should win this. So far they haven't created anything for themselves.
final third = black hole
Come on Willian, you're Brentford's biggest threat.
Something is not right with Willian. Four bad passes now.
All of Brentford's shots have been gifts from Fulham.
For some reason, Fulham play down to the level of competition when the opposition is inferior..
nice Diop

Not today. Bring on Wilson or Adama

Willian might do better on the right? This makeshift right back seems to have unsettled him.
According to Radio London, Castagne just got caught between two stools - painful!
from the camera angle, i originally thought it was a kick to fulham. a fair amount of blood resulted from the iwobi's boot hitting brentford kid on his way down
Time for Marco to earn his corn. Something needs to change. Not necessarily personnel
I don't know why this is, but I really hate when Fulham lose to:
Bournemouth
Brentford
Burnley
Brighton
All the B teams.
Decent half so far. We need to finish our attacks better and we need to stop giving the ball away in dangerous areas (mostly Willian, but Robinson and Palhinha did it too). I would love to see Adama at some point. Hopefuly Andreas is not seriously injured and will be able to continue normally in the second half, as I thought he was quite good in the first half.
At HT, two comments:
1) Kits....UGH!!!!!! What's with the pink shorts and stockings???? Just TERRIBLE!!!
2) What team is Willian playing for??
Actually, Willian was quite poor last game out too. That's two games in a row where he has been way off his norm....
They just showed some Wolves highlights and Adama & Raul score.
Maybe that's a sign... (I'll take whatever I can get).

the Brentford player pulled iwobi over. Should have been a free kick to us.
comedy of errors really - everyone is giving the ball away. how do i get involved?

You need one of those pink kits...
I can't see us surviving this game if we keep on as we are. Looks as if they are a team of strangers at times.

Thank you, great description. And is Lukic playing today?

There have been too many games where Lukic has been relatively anonymous. Not sure why he is a guaranteed starter ahead of TC!
No cohesion. Everyone is making poor passes. The team seems really flat. Only two more games to play after this.
Come on Fulham!
POOR GAME FOR REAL
Pre-Season element and feel to it
Heads are at the beach. ::cool::
What worries me most is that Muniz is our only option in the final third. He needs support and the others need alternatives.
Finally Muniz is off and Willian for Adama and Raul

Interesting. Should change the pattern and the dynamic. Will it be for the better?
Sheffield Utd hit the 100.
Ooooof
open goal for raul - should have been in

i'm 100% positive it is purely down to lukic being a silva signing and he wants him to come good otherwise it devalues silvas acumen in the transfer market. if you plead with the owners to buy a player you dont then sit him on the bench watching other players perform ahead of him. it makes you look daft. i keep repeating this play your own signings ahead of others and get shot down on here.
how did raul miss that~???
Very poor from Raul there...
Jiminez... come on dude
Well we wanted Marco to make subs earlier and he did.. just heard on Fulham tv radio that Raul missed an open goal
Take off the striker who's been scoring plenty of goals for the guy who hasn't had a sniff lately... of course that happens.
As has been said, the atmosphere from the side remind us of the last day of term with the summer hols beckoning...
Brentford 0-0 Fulham
How are we still only in the 77th minute? Feel like we've been live texting this match for a decade.
It's really not a blockbuster.
Robinson's just lobbing in crosses going someone is there.

Not completely open but easier to score than not!
No way should Toney be in the England squad
Fulham are clearly the superior team.
A lost to Brentford today would be tragic. But that is football.
Traore has been the best player on the pitch since he came on. He needs to start next game in my opinion. Don't care if it's instead of Iwobi or Willian.
Traore putting the kind of balls into the box that Muniz might have thrived on. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Agreed. Brilliant covering run to stop the Brentford counter attack as well!
Referee has been brilliant today
We've had so many chances. Iwobi so wasteful.
Diop rock solid today
Muniz has come on in great strides...Jimenez clearly hasn't.
In this miserable match, Diop has been the stand out so far.
The decision making is just so poor
just blow the whistle and end this...
should be a yellow for toney - simulation trying to game a penalty
Would've been happy with a point before kick off
Both teams are subpar today.
Until recently, Brentford were fighting to stay out of relegation. I would not call them garbage, but Fulham should not be struggling so much with this side.
Darn, I was hoping this would go on for another hour... ::tongue::
Simply described as.....Rubbish.
....thought the ref had a good afternoon though.
Strange game. We created the only clear chance and missed it. On the whole we were the better team but its goals that count!
Yet again, when put together this group of players delivers less than it should do as a team.
