Friends of Fulham

Lots of drama and action in this game.  Also, lots of great performances from the Fulham players which makes it hard for me to really pick out just one for the FoF MOTM. 

So, what are your thoughts, and who was your FoF MOTM?

Proud of everyone, all of them were magnificent. Diop for me though, what a match from him. Palhinha and Leno not far behind (although a lot of Leno's saves were pretty routine, but well done to him still).

Joao

Definitely Leno, kept us in the game so many times

Voted Palhinha.  Having him on the pitch for full game just shows what overall impact he can have in a game, really influenced FFC defensive posture for most of the game.  His goal was frosting on the cake, thought he had a very strong game.

Honorable mention to Diop, who redeemed himself from the Brentford game.

I admire Palhinha's passion. This is clearly a man who loves the club, unlike a certain someone who we shall not mention.

Just a personal comment on Leno.  Thought he had a good game, nothing spectacular.  Most of the tough shots against were right at him.  Didn't really have to make anything out of the ordinary.  Sure, was well positioned to make the stops he was called on to make, thought he had good game but no more than that.

Voted for Joao but special mention to Diop and Raul who battled hard all day and how did he get that shot away

Having Palhinha back is huge. Good thing Talksport didn't manage to sell him to West Ham.

Palhinha is immense for us, my MoM for sure. A great effort by all of our lads but I want to offer a few words of praise for our subs, I thought each of them made a positive contribution.

1st game back... Palhinha... hands down... next?

After his disaster last week, Ive gone for Diop always seemed to be in the right place a the right time

I went for Diop as immense defensively but a toss up between him and Joao. Can't however believe RJ is on 0% as deserves a mention as thought he was brilliant today.

Another top performance by Leno.

João.  Great, gutsy contributions at both ends of the pitch.

Has to be Joao with Diop coming second. Palhinha and Lukic pressing high while BDR follows Odegaard around, brilliant. Then of course the tying goal from Palhinha, but even more so the defensive shift he put in at the end of the match.

After his howler against Brentford, Diop was in front of every cross, and played extremely well. Definitely made up for his performance ten fold.

Now let's get some signings for Marco!

Fully agree about Diop young man, especially after last weeks disaster, shows great character. Lots of good performances, great fight throughout the match against a very skilful attacking side.

When he demonstrated his Fulham passion after the goal I could have kissed him on the lips!

I get the feeling Diop takes a bit of time to warm up to the intensity of the PL season. Last season he had a mare in the cup v Crawley Town but then he won his place on merit and did really well.

Leno, but also Tosin being big enough to help out when needed

You'll be called arsy noel with comments like that!

Palhinha he is our Talisman and is like having 12 men when he is on the pitch.
Diop not far behind, but to be fair every player played with a heart the size of a football, and for me tells us that we have something to build on.

Absolutely, fabulous performance
Shaded one or two others

Toss up between Leno and Palinha.  Great to see Palinha back, he is so important to the team.

We had best keep quiet about Palhinha until the window closes. The less publicity he gets the better the chances of him staying at the Cottage.

Think that horse has flown. £100 million could be of interest.

Great performance by everyone but I've gone forPalhinha
