I really hope Muniz finally puts in a good performance today.
I'm a big fan but he's been way off the pace since returning from injury, worryingly so.
He's had plenty of game time since returning to rediscover his form but for whatever reason it's just not happened yet
Raul not on the bench in the end.
Quote from: akf on May 09, 2026, 02:59:27 PMRaul not on the bench in the end.
Apparently aggravated something in the warmup, so JKA comes in
Hope Muniz can find something, had that goal chalked off in the FA cup, which wouldve given him at least some confidence, with no Raul and knowing how Marco views JKA, he's probably getting 80+ mins today
Brighton out of the blocks fast.
Dang... NBC being weird feed not coming through. ::angry::
Never mind, moved to another channel. 🤦�♂️
WTF were those two passes towards Lukic? Luckily Lukic managed so save us both times, but those passes towards him were incredibly poor and incredibly risky.
i hate those infield throws in our defensive third. they never work

The stream I was watching was showing a film with a wedding. 5 mins after kick off it belatedly switched to the match.
Only we would break away and then slow it down at the box
looking bright, need a finishing product
Same old.
Sadly I'm becoming less and less convinced by Chuck.
would be nice to hear some fulham fans getting behind the players
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on May 09, 2026, 03:20:47 PMSadly I'm becoming less and less convinced by Chuck.
At least we are finding out now...
Why stop again, run and shoot
football is virtually non contact. apart from in the box at free kicks when it turns into wrestling
Muniz has won 3-4 headers so far, but there's no one within ten yards of him to benefit. If you're going to hit it to him long like that, at least try and have people at feet so we retain the ball
Quote from: KentFulham on May 09, 2026, 03:26:27 PMWhy stop again, run and shoot
Crosses are so much cooler...
Another cross and no one there
Gotta be scoring free headers
On a plate!
So close from Muniz! That was almost a perfect attack and a goal
nice move - at least a shot - should have been 1-0
Should've put that in the net. Ugh!
That was much better football.
Rodrigo HAS to bury those
Please ban AR crosses
Has to score there.
Terrible Miss.
I think if he does get one in, the confidence will come back and his accuracy will improve.
No pressure let it go out and we invite an attack on for a corner. Need to get this under control
Wow a lot of ex managers at the Cottage - Woy, Tigana, Symons, Coleman, Adams
Senesi should be embarrassed making a meal of that
If only Antoneeeeee could cross a ball.
Robinson has been a lot better today, he's been very close to his best, his crosses, however, have been terrible
How many times do we break and deliver a shoddy cross
Great attempt from Muniz
Quote from: SerbianLad on May 09, 2026, 03:38:16 PMRobinson has been a lot better today, he's been very close to his best, his crosses, however, have been terrible

VAR check for a potential Bournemouth red
With no Raul, who takes a pen? Do you give it to Muniz, or maybe a Cairney?

Id give it to Lukic. He has a 100% record in his career and used to take them for Torino.
Yes!!
Red! Get in! We need to make the most of it.

Wilson for me
I'm somehow less optimistic we'll score against 10 men then we would against 11
Yeah horror challenge really. Totally deserved.
Way above the ankle
Andersen hits the crossbar
Quote from: SerbianLad on May 09, 2026, 03:38:16 PMRobinson has been a lot better today, he's been very close to his best, his crosses, however, have been terrible
The snag is that his speed and his crosses were his biggest assets. Minus one of those and he wouldn't be my first choice by quite a distance. I suppose the perfect scenario for the team is a gallop down the wing, a cross bang in the middle of the area of uncertainty and Muniz straight off the forehead into the net.
It deserved a red. High and forceful.

I can't recall when Robinson's crossing was ever his greatest asset. He did show improvement before his injury but. "Greatest asset"? Not my recollection.
nice shot by lucic - on target
Not according to the bore Martin Keown.
Castagne worked to get the free kick and contact.
Dangerous from Andersen. Feet off the ground.
What an idiot anderson is
This is such a huge opportunity. We simply cant balls it up please
As I say that that dumbass does that
Zero reason to do that
Thats not a red
So stupid. He's getting sent off.
Brainless from the captain. Why FFS.
another red?
Stupid challenge
If Anderson costs us the win he can do one
Moron
Red for me
Red card
Idiot.
Andersen you absolute idiot
We can't seem to get out of our own way.
Andersen you total pri?k
Why did he do that?!
Stay on your feet. FFS
Pure stupidity. Sell the idiot.
Quote from: Rj Fulham on May 09, 2026, 03:51:12 PMThats not a red
Don't be ridiculous and bias. That's a clear red.
Specsavers?
We are the ultimate chokers I swear to god. At least hes suspended for 3 games go away you arsehole
Well should make the game more open,10 v 10.lol
Silly boy. Anderson out for the rest of the season now.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League games, the longest current run of any side in the competition.
Come on Fulham!!!
And now an inspirational talk from Marco to get the lads up for it in the 2nd half.
Honestly I think we should sell the prat.
Stupid from Andersen, but that's not a red for me. He got the ball and caught him afterwards. Foul and a yellow was fair enough. Their player was also milking it as much as possible.

In my defence, i didnt realise he had left the ground before i saw the replay, after the replay its clearly a red
Also, Robinson is done. Why didnt we sell him when we had a chance.
Their no. 8 goes down at the slightest touch.
Except for the added time debacle, it was an OK first half. I am happy with Cairney in the middle. Stand out players are Lucic and Castagne. Out player is Andersen.
Can we just sell Anderson, hesbloody usless turns his back on ever shot and does stupid things like that

:slap: :claping20hands: :slap:
Red or not, and i think it is, he didnt need to do it. He gave the ref the opportunity
He wins the ball but it's reckless and he's off both feet jumping in with both feet to a challenge
Absolutely moronic thing to do and frankly I'm over it with Anderson now. Justice for Diop.
Quote from: KentFulham on May 09, 2026, 03:52:10 PMIf Anderson costs us the win he can do one
Even if it doesn't cost us he can do one. Fulham need a better center back beside Bassey...and while I like Diop..that CB may not currently be on the squad.
I'm done with Anderson.

Bournemouth with 10 men was right where we want them as it would help nullify their counter attack.
10 v 10 more space on the pitch plays right into how they want to play.

Not the greatest at all. His speed + his crosses when they were better made him an asset. However with just one of those currently he is decidedly average.
Quote from: KentFulham on May 09, 2026, 03:56:50 PMRed or not, and i think it is, he didnt need to do it. He gave the ref the opportunity

In the last couple of seasons, we almost never saw our opponents get reds for those. I actually seem to remember a Bournemouth player avoid a red in one match for a similar type of tackle.

Straight 3 match ban I believe so he'll miss the first PL game of next season also if he's with us.
Personally, I'd be delighted if he moved on in the summer but I can't see who'd buy him, certainly not on this season's form and for nowhere near what we paid
Will suit them better 10 v 10
Who do we reckon comes off for Diop at half time? ESR maybe? He's playing well, but from a positional perspective, it makes most sense to lose a 10 in a 10vs10 match.

I think he'd do well in the Italian league. They don't really run in Serie A, so Joachim would fit right in.
I still cant believe he done that. What a wasted opportunity

I thought we performed well in general. Don't agree with Muniz criticism. I thought he played well and for his chance he made a great run and his effort was pretty close. He won a lot of headers and his link-up play has been good.

Called it
Anderson is such a waste of space, bar the one off sweeping cross field ball that hits he offers not a lot but is a liability at the back and has now cost us a real chance of beating these lot, instead he thinks I'll do something stupid and costly
ESR is off for Diop
That's how you cross
We will have nothing In the middle with TC, he can't break lines, is too slow and can't protect the back for if lukic goes forward
Is it just me or has Wilson been absolute shite for the past few matches.
Muniz what are you doing that for, yellow
Idiot #2
Is Cuenca injured or is he able to come back in the matchday squad
This is going to be a backs to the wall 2nd half.
So terrible from us
0-1

It was coming.
Its coming (for them)
Silva gone
Ffs
Leno???
If this is us wanting Europe, I don't want to see us when we're not wanting Europe
Poor defending.
good effort Chuk
Sorry how the hell didn't Leno do something about that?
Always gonna happen after Andersen got sent off
We need to make some personnel changes in the offseason.
I take it back. Deflected
Leno has to do better. Should have saved it
Anderson should never wear the shirt again
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on May 09, 2026, 04:17:40 PMSorry how the hell didn't Leno do something about that?

Let's just lose this then we can finally give up the Europe talk and Silva can piss off somewhere else.
We have been so poor of late
This is 100% Andersens fault. I better not see a stupid instagram post from him later
Their pace is too much for us
What is wrong? Dreadful by the sounds of it. Losing at home to Bournemouth, how can that happen for christ sakes, this is bournemouth not city, united or Arsenal for goodness sakes.

The time for Silva, Wilson and Anderson to move on is now.
I'd agree that Jedi is movable as well...but are you planning to have Sess as the backup LB and upgrade that position? What about the starting RB spot (which I think is a bigger question mark than LB)?

Amazing move, let's not talk about the shot
That was superb from Bobb and Lukic, shame Bobb's shot wasn't good
W need players to run with the ball. King on for Cairney.

Think the World Cup will mean little rest and recuperation.
Pochettino is in attendance today and has to be rethinking Jedi for the US squad.
I fear for us next season unless there are some major personnel changes. Unfortunately I can't see how we can afford to make all that are necessary. We have nothing in the way of pace and neither height nor weight up front.
Good run by Kevin, at least hes showing some intent and he has the ability to get round people
New tactic: give the ball to Kevin.
When was the last timne we scored a goal?

GJ says "showing signs, Fulham" - kiss of death. Bournemouth will pick us off with another fast break.
We must be the most one dimensional spineless team in the league right now.
Not one leader on that pitch, Tom Cairney cannot lead.
Said it before we need to bring in an experienced winner, end of their career like Xhaka who can take the team round the neck and give them a shake.
Not one club fears us and it shows in our results as we get rolled over all to often

Potentially we do have a lot of what we need but as was pointed out to me recently the players seem to be lost and do not seem confident in what they are doing. It's the same mistakes, it's the poor passing, it's the lack of improvement. Personally I feel that sits with Silva.
King shown more In 3 minutes, why we persist not playing him over a 36 yr old carthorse
How bad can we get right now
We've been going through the motions since March. So damn frustrating.
I don't think I've ever seen a team go down so often and a ref that falls for it.

Potentially we do have a lot of what we need but as was pointed out to me recently the players seem to be lost and do not seem confident in what they are doing. It's the same mistakes, it's the poor passing, it's the lack of improvement. Personally I feel that sits with Silva.
Could you expand on that point?

Muniz ain't even league 1
Seasons over
So disappointing
Dont play the driftwood for the last 2 games. Marco... sign or piss off (Couldnt care either way)
Should never have taken TC off he was the only one trying to find a pass.
2 strikers on the field, must be dreaming

Yeah, but are they "Strikers"?
Quote from: Rj Fulham on May 09, 2026, 04:50:15 PM2 strikers on the field, must be dreaming
2 what? What are they?
How's that not a yellow for Senesi
Why cant we first time cross
No yellow for Adli either of them r kicking the ball after a foul call. How's that different from the Lukic yellow
This has been such a disappointing season.
Europe :slap: :slap:
i saw the slagging off of tc not running at people and thought to myself do people actually understand what he's on the pitch for. the difference in possession since hes gone off is there to see. at times all the players are guilty of just taking the easy option of passing to tc only to get it back in almost meaningless posession for possessions sake. and for me he sits too deep. but thats obviously what the manager wants. the fault lies with not enough movement or running off the ball into space. from everyone. only now as the final whistle draws near do we see anything like the urgency which should have been on show from the first minute. still time to get something
Silva manager for 5 years and the team still has no identity. The players look like they haven't played with each other before. Bizarre

This is on Anderson
Genuine question, if you were a Chelsea fan, would you want silva?
that should have been 0-2
Close but no cigar!
that should have been 1-1
Massive boos in the stadium

I'm assuming Wilson, Raul, Muniz and Robinson will be off and we don't sign Chuk. Reed just goes.
Tete, Bassey and Diop could work well together although that trio lacks a bit of pace. Bobb and Fred could add the pace and ESR the nous we have missed in the middle for ages. Sess and King in midfield? Lukic captain?
This is becoming an unwelcome habit.
don't forget the SPF 50 boys...

Have as much possession as you want and add in a 1000 completed passes if they don't lead to anything.
The games too quick for him and yes he may well keep control but he also kills attacks as he's two slow in the transition and doesn't have the legs to go past a man or create a break.
He was signed for nostalgia unfortunately and he should have been let go to finish his career in a lower league
Awful. Have a good rest of the weekend.
Players being booed on the walk around
so so predictable every week. Relegation fight next season .We are miles off Bournemouth,Brentford and Brighton.

Once again we draw a blank. There's an excuse for me - I'm old - but none for FFC I'm afraid. Losing Andersen gives the forwards a get-out, but it was still only 10 v 10 so I don't buy that as a reason for not scoring.

they dont lead to anything invariably because there is no movement. the game is too quick for him? is there anyone with a quicker football brain at the club? ok his legs are not fast. but they never have been. and are you watching a different game about how quickly he can spot a pass when advanced? and how quiixckly he delivers it? you are watching a different game to me

Thanks for the response. I don't think those changes will make a lot of difference unless we sign at least one incisive striker for them to work with. It would still indicate the slow build-up and none of the above have the strength to deal with a packed defence. IMO.

No disputing his footballing brain but we dont have the luxury of having a player who can sit in the midfield spraying passes.
We are a relegation fodder bar a few results pre Xmas and having a man who can't run doesn't work for us.
Great servant for the club but his "legacy" meant he got the contract extension as it was a PR stunt to keep fans happy.
He should have been released as we would have been no worse off without him, maybe better with financial fair play or whatever It's now called without his wages.

We need to be more like Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford - when we get big offers just flog them as we could of been £90m better off and without Muniz who cannot hit a barn door and Robinson who is tripe.
Need to somehow unearth a gem of a striker, all the above managed to so maybe out scouting system needs to be looked at.
If Silva has decided to go then he should say so now and give his successor time to asses his options and the recruitment team (?) to find players that will match the new man's style. If he's staying then there need to be major discussions within the club as to what has gone wrong this season. I know we are still mid-table and have had some decent results but there's no consistency and the football is no longer as entertaining as it was when he first arrived. It would be refreshing to hear someone asking him the difficult questions and hear his replies.
