Is AP injured?
Quote from: St Eve on December 01, 2024, 01:06:33 PMIs AP injured?
From Sky:
Silva explains Andersen, Pereira injuries
Fulham manager Marco Silva:
"Joa [Andersen] and Andreas [Pereira] have been so important for us. Joa is going to be out for longer, Andreas is going to come back stronger.
"Bit when other players are out, it's a chance for other players to step in. That's the case for Issa Diop, he's been so important in our group, whether that be starting or not starting."
Well obviously points would be a bonus but it has to be an all round much better performance today. If we only manage a twenty minute cameo appearance I can see us getting into difficulties throughout December what with Southampton getting high praise for nearly getting in right against Brighton.
Coyw
No Solanke
Wow Calvin - should be 1 down already
I think Diop needs to bulk up a bit. He often times gets manhandles by much smaller opponents. He also loses concentration during dangerous situations and gives up easy passes. But he is good in the air on corner kicks.
anyone got a link please
What is up with Bassey and messing up what should be easy passes?

If you have a VPN - you can set it to Australia and for 10 quid a month on Optus Sport you can get every PL game (also FA Cup, Pokal and European qualifiers) live and on demand, highlights etc.
The first 20 minutes is important to not concede.
We must take the sting out of the game, and settle down and relax.
The longer it is 0 0 the more confidence will emerge from the players.
ESR needs to get in this game
First Lukic corner, hits a Fulham head.
A long way to go but it's a decent start from Fulham.
I love this Fulham team.
Marco has them always attacking, attacking. They show no fear, even against superior opposition.
Needed to control that better Raul!
Anyone got as decent stream?
nice play by tete to save a certain goal
Quote from: FFC In Oz on December 01, 2024, 01:47:38 PMNeeded to control that better Raul!
Alas that is becoming a regular comment. Cue worldie!
...but too many give aways in our half... and now bassey is down having to stretch on the recovery
We're in strife now if Bassey is out.
Bassey is having a mare
is it ok if I moan about the linesman down the attacking right? just now clearly raul didnt touch the ball and he called it for spurs, and then there was a claer push on raul and it was a no-call.

Glad it's not just me.
Jimenez needs to score there...
Jimenez yet again missing key chances........he's really costing us at times.
We really need a striker. Surely there's someone in the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 or Eredivisie knocking about?
On the plus side, I'm enjoying Sasa's corners. Seem to be causing problems with nearly every one thus far
We should be winning this frigging game

You didn't see Forster save from Raul 7-8 minutes ago?
Lol that's not a foul.
Watch Maddison score from this
in basketball there is a difference between a defender moving in the way if an attacker vs a defender being set and the attacker charging into him. that was a charge.
Was saying before that why the hell haven't we got someone lying down behind the wall. Schoolboy error. Lucky
As per usual played some brilliant stuff and got in some brilliant positions but final shot or pass just not resulting in a goal. Frigging ridiculous save from Forster from Iwobi s shot after a brilliant move. We look very dangerous on the break. Surely a game for Adama second half.
Happy with that performance. Two,three completely self-inflicted chances for Spurs and a free-kick after the dive were Spurs' chances. We defended well and attacked really well too. Tete my MOTM so far, Raul should have done better in a few situations. Surprised it was Lukic who took over corner duties, but thought he put in a few decent balls as well.
Really disappointed to not be ahead in this game through first half. I'm sorry, but if Jimenez is a "striker", then he has got to convert "striker chances". Had several excellent chances. Too bad on Iwobi's strike, hitting the crossbar. Both teams a bit sloppy, certainly Spurs have given us some good chances.
We should be winning. Spurs will come out with more energy and I hope we don't regret missed chances. We are a decent striker away from being a very handy side.
Smith Rowe and Nelson not participating all that much, I'd bring Traore in to start second half.
FFC has had their chances, hope it doesn't come back to haunt.
0.94 XG to their 0.33 and most of theirs was us trying to gift them a goal with a stray pass. 18 touches on their box to their 8. Loads of corners as well. We've played really well and have been the better team but story of our season I'm afraid. Have to start putting away more chances.
Btw, why is Robinson the captain now and not Leno? I'm not neccessarily against it, I'm just a bit surprised.

Yes, we look the better team so far, at least having the better chances. But putting away those chances is absolutely the shortfall. Jimenez has to convert those close in great opportunities.

Why not? I still don't see the reasoning/advantage to having a keeper as the captain.
Another game we are going to rue missing our chances! COYW!!

True but Leno was the captain so far. Seems weird to change it. Again, I'm not even neccessarily against it, I'm just a bit surprised.
Raul can't hit the broadside of a barn.
Unlucky Issa, keeper got lucky there.
Quote from: SerbianLad on December 01, 2024, 02:40:01 PMUnlucky Issa, keeper got lucky there.
Thought he should've gone back across goal from there.
Easy game when watching it on TV though isn't it
was that odoi?!
We're playing better. Keep pressing!
Football is just unfair sometimes...
so god damn frustrating
FFS, typical!
Unf'ingbelievable. F off.
completely against the run of play. nelson should have tracked back since robinson went on the break,

Quote from: SerbianLad on December 01, 2024, 02:44:07 PMFootball is just unfair sometimes...
Not really. This is what happens when you have sub par players in key areas. If you don't take chances, you won't win games. Happens too often for us.
This why we are lower half team.
Good, but not good enough.
I'm afraid Raul is not a Prem league striker, anymore.
Great. Now Lukic is suspended.

Agreed, not unfair at all. It's an indictment on the playing group that our decision-making and execution are sub par when it counts
Aye its nothing to do with fairness. If you have as many chances as we do in every single game and miss them all then you get what you deserve unfortunately

Exactly. Nelson really frustrating today. He simply has to track back. He's just watching.
It so upsetting. We are by far the better team

Yep, someone referred to anyone not saying we'll get there is 'twaddle' as well......I don't no glee in this but we're just not a top 8 side, simple as that.
I'd bring Adama, Wilson and Muniz for Nelson, ESR and Raul.
we will be down to 10 soon. when the ball goes out.
Quote from: akf on December 01, 2024, 02:49:42 PMwe will be down to 10 soon. when the ball goes out.
how did lucic escape a second yellow?!
Striker needed in Jan. Imagine how good this side would be if Mitrovic hadn't flounced off.
Yeah had to sub Lukic now
Many were looking at the squad with rose colored glasses. Without a bonafide striker, we were never in the hunt.
odd that robinson gave the band to tc. usually if the armband stays on the field, it should stay put.

Never a yellow. Son tried to oversell it. Marco wise to bring him off though. Last thing we need is a red now.
Can;t be hearing any ref complaints after Lukic should of been off. We're very fortunate.

Just seen 3 replays.....its a second yellow all day long. Slides in, doesn;t touch ball, takes out Son. I'd be interested in how that's not a yellow?

Seems to be minimal contact to me. He caught him with his arm after sliding in more so than he did with his feet. I'll look at it again after the game, but it didn't look that serious to me 🤷�♂️
woowwww!!!!! TC!!!!!
Get in TC!!!
Atta boy!!
Yeeees
Deserved un every way. What a finish
OUTSTANDING strike by the skipper!
Get in!!

You're correct in that its not serious, but if you dive in, on a yellow, and don't get the ball when the balls in transition is a final third area, its usually a yellow.
Not to worry! Where's Perry, Cairneys scored!
ESR off, Wilson 10, Adama on
A TC special
Get Adama and Muniz on, we can win this!
Thoroughly deserved.
get someone under the wall!
Never a foul that FFS
Why are Spurs players always diving? When there's no foul they dive, when there's minimal contact they oversell it. Embarassing...
Come on Muniz
Muniz, lets see. Loved Skysports describing Smith Rowe as a 'draft excluder' from that freekick
This game is crying out for Adama
Quote from: LC on December 01, 2024, 03:08:52 PMThis game is crying out for Adama
Can't believe he's not on yet
another throw that was clearly fulham's while in the ascension, given to spurs - changed the game.
Imagine if Cairney gets sent off here.
Don't think that's a red.
Looks accidental more than anything.
Appears to be worse than it actually is - no force, Cairney just kind of had his leg stuck there
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on December 01, 2024, 03:12:14 PMImagine if Cairney gets sent off here.
No need to now is there, game over!!
I would want that to be a red if it was against us.
Cairney is off balance and trying to make a cynical foul and is very reckless. Could have really injured someone.
Joke. Ref is looking right at it and gives a yellow. Absolute farce.
Well, Cairneys certainly had an impact on the game!
Spurs players should be embarassed of themselves. Their diving today has been ridiculous. Yes, TC shouldn't have done that, but the contact wasn't that hard. Not a red for me. Yellow was the right decision.
I feel pretty much done with this season. Just too frustrating.

Its a tough one....I don't actually know what Cairney was attempting.....You can;t rake the studs down the back of people though but its a strange one as teh contact was there but then he slips.....ugh. Karma for Lukic though I guess.
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on December 01, 2024, 03:14:47 PMI feel pretty much done with this season. Just too frustrating.
Feel your pain
There's no force, it's a stupid tackle and the ref is 5 yards away from it. Personally I think it's a ridiculous decision, but if an opponent did that to one of our players I'd be calling for a red card as well.
Personally, I would put Adama on now, you can't sit back on this game, you're inviting trouble. But what do I know
Well done by Harry.
Yeh, its a real shame as Muniz makes a terrible run based on Wilsons movement......tries to drag behind and wait but the angle was never on....he has to press the middle and gamble on that ball dropping where it eventually goes. Shame as that was amazing from Wilson.

Frustrating again, when he had his scoring streak last year a few of them were basically tap ins from those areas. Wonder why he hasn't learned.
Evan with 10 men we had the best chance. Brilliant performance but for finishing.
Great performance
Final Whistle and a thoroughly deserved draw.
Could and should have won it, well done Fulham FC.

Yes, it was the obvious run to make as well. I mean you play with him everyday int training, everyone knows he only has a left foot, it's the only pass he could make. Silly not to gamble
Brilliant performance and result, all things considered.

Exactly this. He makes the wrong run every time at the mo. That could only go where Wilson put it and if he attacks it we win. In his streak it was the opposite...right run every time. Shame cos his hold up was excellent when he came on.

Alas we seem to have a few players who continue to mess up in the same areas or haven't got better with some tactical basics. However had we played like this last week no way would that game finished as a home drubbing.
A battling performance. We deserved more - but happy enough with a point after the sending off.
Surely Harry starts the next game after that great 30mins plus off the bench...
Really really need a striker. Jimenez had several very good chances but fluffed them all.
