They're on such a bad run,and we do like to help our teams who are.
Don't we?🤔
Let's show up today. 💪
Tough one. Need to stay alert!
We just need to handle the early wave... ::scarf::
Commentators said we still harbour ambitions of CL football...
Personally, I've been of the opinion that we're too inconsistent for Europe, let alone CL.
Anyway, slow start. They look up for it, we need to match their intensity
Both teams look pretty rusty.
Bassey.... I've seen better from Shirley...
Anyone got any decent streams?
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on April 11, 2026, 05:42:04 PMBoth teams look pretty rusty.
The team in Red, a little less so...
Liverpool already diving.
Not a yellow??
Why wasn't the Red 73 booked for diving
We need to wake up.
Poor from us so far. We need to step this up. Showing too much respect to them
First goal will sadly come soon
It reminds me of the City performance in terms of listlessness, just with less capable opposition so we haven't been punished yet.
The only person moving like he wants to score is Jedi.
Oscar Bobb doesn't contribute anything. Berge looks slow.
They are killing us down their right. Plus we have absolutely no out ball.
We've not asserted ourselves at all. Given how fragile Liverpool are at the moment we should be trying to bully them more.
No game control whatsoever...
Quote from: demeant0r on April 11, 2026, 05:57:28 PMWe've not asserted ourselves at all. Given how fragile Liverpool are at the moment we should be trying to bully them more.
Yeah this is time to dust off the "get into em" chant...
I need Bobb & Josh to put a little weight on in the offseason...
You'd think our energy and pressing would be good,considering we've had time off.Coyw
We should have Harrison warming up on the sideline the whole game just to put fear into Liverpool
Why didn't Iwobi hit it first time? That first touch was so poor
Iwobi is playing like he's been sedated
How did Iwobi not score on that pass...and then he follows it up with a weak attempt. He's so hit or miss.
Quote from: SerbianLad on April 11, 2026, 05:59:59 PMWhy didn't Iwobi hit it first time? That first touch was so poor
Was coming at him with a lot of pace
Nice from King, Muniz and Bobb. Good ave though
When Kevin gets healthy...why do we play Bobb? Cup games?

That's why he should have tried to hitnit first time. It's difficult to control a ball like that.
Good effort Harry!
Unlucky Harry, more of that please
If Jedi performs like this ...he's better than Sess.
Great attempt by Harry.

Yeah he's half asleep I think
Bobb really hasn't brought anything to the table yet...
Good last ten mins though
Sigh, what's happened to Robinson. That injury really set him back.
Will Berge ever shoot?
Jedi...WHAT WAS THAT CROSS??????? ::cry::
And there we go.... ::angry::
Castagne... ::angry::
Good goal from them tbf

I much prefer Sess up the pitch. Agree his defending is ropey.
Great to see Jedi's been working on his crossing during the extended break 👀
Well there you go ffs
We knew it was coming.
kinelle
That LW is very quick footed and Castagna just can't cope.
I am disappointed by Robinson who completely wasted a very good opportunity to cross the ball just a few minutes prior.
Ooof
Baby Traore scores for Liverpool,
Good finish but Castagne needs to get closer and block that
Quote from: FFC007 on April 11, 2026, 06:06:24 PMCastagne... ::angry::
🤷🏻... Tete wasn't blocking that. Credit to to Rio 👏
Men v boys I'm afraid.
If a team hadn't scored for a year,we would oblige them
Caring Fulham are far too soft.
Who is this kid? He's something special
I hate Berge. I really do.
Can you imagine if Bobb was as good as Rio AS A WINGER LIKE WE PLAY HIM?
We really need to cling on to a 1-0 deficit and hope Silva can give them all a coffee at HT.
Quote from: Jules on April 11, 2026, 06:08:26 PMGood finish but Castagne needs to get closer and block that

Ffs
Game set and match...
Game over. Could be a serious thrashing, this.
why do i watch football again?
A lot of "ole" defending... ::angry::
Off down to Eastbourne beach to watch out for bangs..
Game over 😤
I predicted 0-2 at half time and 0-3 at full time.. so I guess it's happened as I expected. I was quietly optimistic at 30 mins when it looked like we were starting to get a foot hold in the game.. but.. there we are.
Silva was talking a good game before yet a other **** performance against struggling opponents!!
Where has this Liverpool been the past few weeks ffs
Granted we're playing Liverpool, but we we always seem to play poorly after the break.
Robinson :(

You're more disappointed with Jedi for one bad cross...than maybe Berge...who received the ball while we were in Liverpools box, then proceeded to not take a shot...but dribble the ball out of the box...then less than two minutes later we concede a goal to Rio.
Quote from: Hatch007 on April 11, 2026, 06:12:03 PMWhere has this Liverpool been the past few weeks ffs

I saw Berge putting in a goal saving block 5 minutes earlier.. swings and roundabouts. He's a defensive midfielder not a striker.
Robinson is meant to be an overlapping wing back.
Anyway, I'm not having a crack at any of the players tbh the Liverpool team are just better. Just another reality check for us really that Europe is a long way off. Anyway, we aren't getting relegated.
I'm sorry, but Iwobi in the midfield is absolutely useless defensively against 90% of the teams. They are running through are midfield with ease throughout this half. Sub him or move him to the left and sub Bobb, but this isn't working.

We have too much respect for the top sides,everytime we play them.
We really are a soft touch a lot of the time.
Quote from: Hatch007 on April 11, 2026, 06:12:03 PMWhere has this Liverpool been the past few weeks ffs

Castagne really got mugged off for their first. Looks worse each time I see it.

Yes- that was absolutely infuriating from Berge. Just don't understand why he never shoots and always passes to a player in a worse position ::angry::
When was the last time we came back to win from 2-0 down ?

Agreed. And I see the offense doing nothing unless Robinson is running 100% on the LW with no real support from Bobb and Iwobi occassionally attempting to do something.
swings and roundabouts indeed.
Another underwhelming Bobb performance but I suppose he's an investment for the next few years.
I personally think the major dip in form came after Kevin got injured. He was, Wilson aside, our major threat.
Got to say that I agree with Serbian Lad, playing Iwobi in the middle is a failed experiment.
Quote from: Twig on April 11, 2026, 06:17:41 PMGot to say that I agree with Serbian Lad, playing Iwobi in the middle is a failed experiment.
yeah but he keeps doing it and it's the same result over and over.
Is there a way we can cancel castagnes contract? The minute ngumoah was selected it was obvious to anyone that watches us we were going to be torn apart
Quote from: Steeeeeeeeeed on April 11, 2026, 06:17:00 PMWhen was the last time we came back to win from 2-0 down ?
It won't be today. They'll probably put another 3 past us.
Just as we were getting into the game, started having a few pop shots and getting into their box.
Unfortunate and it got in our heads a little I reckon.
Whilst Bob. Has been average at best I find the comparisons to the 73 interesting, he has t had the injury Bobb has and it's his first season time will tell in the second.
For me other than the odd moment both wide players have been average at best, Muniz is woeful right now was surprised he started, Iwobi is off the boil too.
The perfect way to be losing 0-2 at half time!
Sit back but only offer half hearted attempts to block shots and crosses.
Quote from: Steeeeeeeeeed on April 11, 2026, 06:17:00 PMWhen was the last time we came back to win from 2-0 down ?
Hopefully tonight.
Silva makes a change at half time. We get a goal back, they panic and Wilson scores an equaliser.
It will be such a bad result for 'pool, that Slot will get sacked in the a.m. lol
COYW!
Get Bobb/Iwobi off for Lukic, or even Cairney at HT. Maybe even Chukwueze for the other one too. King had some good moments, but was a passenger for large parts of that half too. Sub him for ESR around 60th minute unless something changes.
We have had 3 weeks to get a game plan together and we play like that no front foot football we will sit off and let them attack us all half absolutely fuming 😡. Silva go please go enough is enough Liverpool are 💩 and we are even 💩er our performances are getting worse and worse we are playing off the cuff their is no system to the way we are playing . Look at Bournemouth earlier playing on the front foot going toe to toe with Arsenal we sit off and raise the white flag after 2 minutes every game it is infuriating have pride in your own performance
I'm looking at that Rio goal. Should Castagna do more to push him out wide?
Tough when the winger has such quick feet I guess.
Looks like we are on the beach already...
The slide starts now.

Agreed. Second season will show if he's worth keeping in the team.
I think Chuk for Bobb is the obvious change, then Jiminez for Muniz not longer after. King won't last 90 mins either so Cairney would offer some control.

Then we wake up.
Those 3 weeks of no match were pure bliss. Im not giving this shower of sh1t any more of my time this year. Got to 40pts and went to sleep
I'm sad to say, from what I've seen this season King is not big or strong enough to offer much in the PL.
I have seen us play a whole lot worse. Liverpool have turned up and more. Being on the defensive usually suits and we have shown some good technical moments.Alas for two brilliant goals.
My usual gripe is as always - Robinson defensively is like a bumper on a pinball machine and he cannot even head a ball properly. His crosses could be bettered by an Eastbourne crab. He is as fast as a crab though.

A bit harsh, but I know where you're coming from. Robinson is nowhere near the player he used to be. But Castagne is worse at the moment (though he is up against a real talent.)

I love Fulham but have to agree. I watched Bournemouth earlier and they played the best team in the league away and beat them deservedly too. Well coached, committed in defence, pacy on the counter. They are a smaller club than us who lost lots of good players and have replaced them well. Comparatively, we didnt show up in that first half. We look like we are on the beach.

Highest work rate on the side and the attack is predicated on him consistently running forward.
Your complaints are valid...but how good a defender should you really expect him to be if he's really our only LW attacking option? That's on Silva.
I'm curious what position people think Bobb is going to play next season? He's going to be a starting winger? Anyone think he's offering what Wison provides on the right? He's offering nothing on the left.
Offside...
Sorry, I am heavily on pain meds... Did I see 2 halftime subs?? ::tongue::

I think the short answer is we always seem to give far too much respect to top teams. Then before you know it we are 0-2 or 0-3 at half time before we start giving it a go. The attitude should be the opposite - nothing to lose!

Effectively it's ESR for King, Lukic for Iwobi and Iwobi for Bobb.
What did Robinson do there? Terrible
73 surrounded by 4 defenders and no one goes to him...
Quote from: SerbianLad on April 11, 2026, 06:41:21 PMWhat did Robinson do there? Terrible
I couldn't believe my own eyes.
Robinson having a bit of a mere. But we can't risk Sess at LB today the result would be even worse.
Edit: beginning to think Sess couldn't do worse
Now they're playing Iwobi on the LW.
Robinson essentially, again, no help offensively on the left side because HE's the attacking threat on the left side.
That's a Marco flaw. If you'r going to use Robinson as a winger..play Sess behind him. It helps him defensively and then maybe his crosses will be consistent.
And again, Robinson...
Sorry but Left Backs must be able to defend and we have two, neither of whom are much cop at that aspect of the role!
Robinson's assets used to far out way his occasional errors and poor delivery but there's not much between his positives and negatives recently.

He can't do any worse. Even H4 would be better
Imagine 9 places available for Europe and your manager still can't motivate a team to finish strongly
3 weeks off and still so unprofessional and unproductive

Bit of a first that.

Looking dangerous without really threatening seems to be a Fulham characteristic!

Have to say Iwobi contributes a bit more out wide than through the middle.
Quote from: FFC007 on April 11, 2026, 06:50:33 PMRaul would have scored that.
Can't understand why he didn't start the game.

I have never seen positives even in the Championship. Give me a footballer over an athlete every time. A pity because he is such a nice bloke.
I'm beginning to be persuaded that Muniz is only Championship level despite his previous hot streak.
We are actually playing well now
Right some more positive subs needed now while we are in the ascendancy
Quote from: Twig on April 11, 2026, 06:52:00 PMHave to say Iwobi contributes a bit more out wide than through the middle.
And our midfield looks better too. Baffling that he continues to start in midfield considering it's not his best position and it's not really working on a team level either.
keeper out of the area so obviously a FK to Liverpool
Would still fancy Chuck to come on. As well as Raul.
Least Rio is off...

So you'd take Bobb over Jedi? That seems ridiculous to me. Next you'll say they both play different positions...to which I would say...Robinsons a better winger than Bobb because he's a better athlete. Bobb is clearly the better footballer no?
Quote from: FFC007 on April 11, 2026, 06:56:34 PMSess for Robinson
Jedi hasn't been good but I'm not sure this change does enough to get us back into the game.
Isak is obviously going to score
Raul and Chukwueze should come on for Muniz and one of Iwobi/Wilson soon
Quote from: SerbianLad on April 11, 2026, 06:58:50 PMRaul and Chukwueze should come on for Muniz and one of Iwobi/Wilson soon
100%
Much better 2nd half so far. We are toothless up front though
So sad to see Jedi unable to recover anything resembling his best form and I'm no longer sure he ever will. Wondering whether we should look to sell him in the summer?
As to Muniz, definitely unload.
Has ESR come off the bench yet?
Time for more subs Marco

So you'd take Bobb over Jedi? That seems ridiculous to me. Next you'll say they both play different positions...to which I would say...Robinsons a better winger than Bobb because he's a better athlete. Bobb is clearly the better footballer no?
Bobb is a form of footballer playing at a lower pay grade (hopefully)
Oh dear....
That was so close from ESR!
Impressed with Lukic since coming on. Must win his place back off Berge based on today.
Otherwise, Bassey done well. Struggling to find positives elsewhere.
Raul and Chukwueze on....

AN ACCURATE STORY OF WHERE FULHAM PLAYERS ARE RIGHT NOW
Great cross from Sess

They should both start. They have some shortcomings, but they are still by far our best midfield pairing.
Should have been Iwobi...
Feel more confident with Raul on
Least we didn't get battered in the second half.
If we had played like that last season there it would have been a cricket score.

Makes us quite flat creatively in midfield. I think that's why Silva abandoned that plan around Xmas.
When was the last time we made the oppositions keeper make numerous proper diving saves in a game?
I can't remember any this season!
Missing Kevin and his directness...
We should get Robertson

I just don't think we have a suitable creative CM other than TC and he is limited to sub appearances. It certainly isn't Iwobi. I've regarded this as a screaming priority for a couple of seasons now.

During which half did our midfield look more flat today, the first half with Iwobi and Berge or the second with Berge and Lukic?

Fair point
Quote from: St Eve on April 11, 2026, 07:10:20 PMWe should get Robertson
He had 2 chances in first half and fluffed them.
Agree completely.
However I recall distinctly we had a run with Berge and Lukic together and we were crying out for more creativity and less of a defensive set up.
I think there's clearly still a strong argument for the Lukic Berge partnership against the better teams.

I agree about Lukic & Berge against better teams but even against weak teams I don't see Iwobi as part of the solution (in midfield). Honestly not sure what the answer is.
"At least we looked good in the 2nd half"
Any team can look good in the 2nd half at 2-0 down the home team don't need to chase the game they have a 2 goal buffer

I remember those times. I still think too much fault was placed at the two of them. Ideally, we'll get a more creative midfielder in the summer(we should have got one already in the previous 2 windows), but I believe a lot of it wasn't down to the two of them not being creative enough, but rather down to our more attacking players being out of form.
Poor corner
Good night Irene
Sadly I think our full backs were the weak link defensively today.
Tete is injured so can't do much about that. Robinson? Well.. I guess if he was more effective he wouldn't play for us.
Completely toothless against a poor Liverpool side, disappointing.
Pffft!
Weak easy team to bully I'm afraid.
I would be comfortable with Lukic and Berge if there was a mature incisive precison passer and creator at no 10. A younger version of Ericson. What's Maddison up to now? Where's JH when you really need him?
I can't say that I'm surprised with the result. Hopefully, Marco will have them ready for Brentford.
Did we think we were playing a friendly. No bite, no urgency until the last 30 minutes.
If Leno's arms could have been stretched by 3 inches then we would have got a point.
We had 19 shots apparently (one more than them) and yet again their keeper was hardly troubled.
9 corners (one more than them) and never looked like scoring.
