It is time for Muniz to get off the Schneid... He needs to put the ball in that thingy with a net... ::scarf::
Come on, let's play with purpose today.
Looks like an attack minded team. Still prefer to see Lukic in the midfield. Wilson King and Bobb are all good players but somewhat lightweight. We need Muniz and Robinson to play up to their potential. Burnley have been sneaking points recently and we haven't scored for three games.

Yes please. And no "slow walk" in the final third.
Can't find any radio coverage of the game, it is on BBC Radio Lancashire apparently, but not online...
Daft.
Iwobi's passing is as poor as it was vs Forest. Needs to do better
Second best so far
The commentator wanting to look at Basseys "handball" 50 times, ffs get over yourself
We are like a pub team since xmas
Good touch from Muniz, poor shot
commentators are having a difficult time keeping 14 & 24 apart - they keep calling bobb king
Quote from: St Eve on March 21, 2026, 03:13:05 PMSecond best so far
The midfield is not working for me (just like I thought it wouldn't when the teams were announced). There's no way Berge-Iwobi-King can win a midfield battle against pretty much any PL team.
Looks like SK is here. He needs to meet with Marco.
Yet again a nothing special team dominating our central midfield.

Decent effort from Wilson
Great crack by Wilson.

slouching a bit, but otherwise looks healthy.
All their attacks are coming down our right. Castagne is struggling
Nice Leno
I have been a Fulham fan since the Brian McBride days (2004) and in all that time, it seems Fulham always struggle against bottom table teams.
Don't know why that is. They seem to play to the level of competition, good or bad. No game is ever a sure win (like last year when they got destroyed by an inferior Wolverhampton 4-1).
that was a dirty move to leno's throat. the commentary says 'bumped into leno'!? it was a hand to the trachea
They're getting close..

We're struggling against every team at the moment, bottom or not!
Decent chance for Castagne there
Another good effort from Wilson
Harry is feeling frisky...

Why? He's offered Marco a contract if Marco doesn't want to sign it why should SK go begging?
Anyone falling asleep here
Like last week, Bobb and King need to contribute more.
Quote from: KentFulham on March 21, 2026, 03:28:20 PMAnyone falling asleep here
No. I'm too busy watching paint dry.
I don't know why we are playing so slow
Sounding a bit better now - or is that GJs optimism?
I mean.. it's been okay. Roughly equal split of chances. Perhaps lucky to not be 1-0 down given penalty shout and the 6 yard header straight at Leno. Few half chances our end for the impressive Wilson.
I am disappointed with King and Bobb so far. Neither seem to be getting on the ball. Need to influence play more. I wonder if today is a good day for Cairney instead of King and push Iwobi further forward into Kings role.
I like what I'm seeing from Muniz, who is feeding of scraps but doing as well as he could given the circumstances, and Wilson, who is playing really well.
So much better.
I can see us having 20 shots and Burnley scoring some jammy deflected goal, hope im wrong

Probably use Cairney later. In the meantime where is Chuk?
If Iwobi ever gets a pass right we might score.
Would like to see Iwobi take some outside shots beyond 20 meters.
Harry Wilson is the only one who dares attempt those.
Burnley running rings around us
I think Harry is practicing for matches he has coming up in the next fortnight.
To qualify for the World Cup Wales must first beat Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday, March 26, and then the winner of Italy and Northern Ireland's match on Tuesday, March 31.
This is getting very poor now
Have we had any shots yet?
Iwobi keeps on making horrendous passing mistakes
Quote from: Rj Fulham on March 21, 2026, 03:32:54 PMI can see us having 20 shots and Burnley scoring some jammy deflected goal, hope im wrong

Good idea, for Bobb?
Then King for Cairney.
I suspect he will use ESR however as he has an ESR love-in despite (what I regard to be..) little evidence to support it.
Quote from: SerbianLad on March 21, 2026, 03:38:40 PMIwobi keeps on making horrendous passing mistakes
He has had the ball and been unguarded numerous times and failed to take the shot.
It's low percentage position but at least maybe get a deflection or mishandle from the goalie. Sometimes you just got to take chances.
Robinson having another total shocker
This is a shockingly bad game of football.
Castagna has to be one of the least enthusing players on our books but sadly he's a fairly solid RB at Prem level to plug a gap until Tete returns. Possible area to strengthen in the summer.
I think the first sub should be Bobb and King double sub at 60 mins. Both below average today.

Could he be any worse than those on the pitch now? At least he has a degree of control.
Whenever a team plays a low block, we seem to think the best plan of action is to play even slower
The ball looks upside down, perhaps that is why we are playing similar to the Kings Head fifth 11 in the Two Bob Rovers League.
Some of the players out there couldn't trap a bag of cement.
It's Barbados beach stuff, isn't it.
Oh to be a well paid footballer with mid-table security with 2 months to go before the end of the season.
Quote from: Woolly Mammoth on March 21, 2026, 03:47:45 PMSome of the players out there couldn't trap a bag of cement.
I doubt they could trap wind.
Boos from the Hammy end
Was quite a poor half. I don't even feel like watching the second half
Burnley are playing for their lives (like the Iranian guards) while Fulham seem happy to take a point.
Only 7 games remain and Burnley need to win at least 6 of them to have a chance of remaining in the premier league.
Blimey. It's my birthday today and I was hoping for a treat but got served up a cup of hot sick instead.
Quote from: KentFulham on March 21, 2026, 03:49:31 PMBoos from the Hammy end
Goals are very over-rated. Enjoy the glory of a mutual clean sheet.
At least 2 of Lukic/TC/ESR should come on at half time. Maybe Chukwueze too.
I thought Wilson and Muniz were decent. Berge made some valuable defensive contributions. Back 4 has largely been fine, although Castagne has struggled a bit defensively, but he looked decent going forwards. Robinson's crossing is poor as usual. Leno has been fine.
That was a snoozer. I just don't know why we can't put together a decent game of football in the second half of the season.

Happy Birthday!! 🥳 ::scarf::
Sharpest thing I've seen so far is Scott Parker's suit and tie. He must have been to uncle's to redeem it....
.. but there was Leno's save and Harry's shot...
So. We will probably keep the same team till the last 15 minutes.Then we'll put three players on at once and Burnley will score while our replacements are getting over their shock at how early the subs have been made.
Clearly the only European footie our lot want, is in pre season!
Both sides have made 227 passes! Parkerball is infectious.
Muniz is not the answer - whatever the question is.
Quote from: LittleErn on March 21, 2026, 04:02:25 PMMuniz is not the answer - whatever the question is.

I hope the 2nd half sees us win.
It's been 6 hours and 21 minutes since we last scored. No surprise that as supporters we are getting a bit pissed off.

Beat anyone for pace? Found space in the box? Anticipated colleagues passes? I'm not watching but GJ has hardly mentioned him and in the matches I have watched he has made no impact.
Well, it wasn't quite as boring as I had expected (so far). We have actually played some nice, entertaining football, but it is was never gonna be easy against a Parkerball defence. Burnley on the other hand, have looked exactly as expected. Parker must be all over the moon with their lacklustre 0-0 performance!!! Parkerball at it's worst (or best, depending on how you look at it...).
King+Bobb are far too lightweight against Parkerball. We need to get Chuck and ESR on as soon as possible.
Andersen has been very poor IMO I would have preferred Diop for this game, but that's probably not gonna happen now.
Robinson has been a bit more lively than in recent games, but he's still showing his shortcomings: Gets into good positions and then it's Bambi on ice. If our ambitions are anything other than 0-0 or a narrow win/loss we need to bring on Sess. A bit more risky against counter attacks, but a far better chance of actually winning this IMO.
Muniz... Actually a good performance except the ONE thing a striker needs to do. He's hade several crucial defensive headers, one brilliant tackle, great hold-up play, but ultimately lacking the cutting edge in front of goal. I'm sure we will see Raul at some point, and I also have a feeling he will do EXACTLY what a striker needs to do against a tired Parkerball defence.
Good start to the second half. Keep it up.
Good attack, maybe Wilson should have been a bit more "aggressive" there.

Just asking for a a little luck. Unbelievable!

And then King and Muniz miss too. Brilliant build up from the two of them, but neither one could finish

He should have done better there, but by no means was it a sitter, and his brilliant hold up play started thst attack.
Frustrating thing is that when we up the tempo we look a step-up on a poor, Championship bound Burnley. It's just we don't seem to have any urgency.
Absolute chaos in that passi g for a Burnley free kick
Poor pass from Iwobi and they are almost in. Robinson makes a good foul.
Iwobi gives it away again....
I am so disappointed with the way our season is fizzling out - can you tell?
That was simulation by Burnley. Robinson barely touched him.
Ridiculous mix up at the back there.
Need to get Berge off and Cairney on
Muniz got to hit the target there, Raul would have
Quote from: Jules on March 21, 2026, 04:17:56 PMNeed to get Berge off and Cairney on
That would make no sense whatsoever. Who would play as the 6? We would be even worse in the middle.
Poor header from Muniz.
Muniz Muniz Muniz you have one job and you missed a free header.
Boos ring out
of course
Well there you go.
damn
Subs should have come on at half time
We all saw it coming. Apart from Silva that is.
Well you could see that coming
Predictable.
Silva position becoming more precarious.
Silva apologists now working out thier next excuses
This board is going to be unbearable if the result stays like this.
Edit: already begun on this thread
Woeful defending 0-1.
Burnley were given too much damn space.
Awful defending by Fulham.
Andersen had that air covered well.
Robinson was all over the place
We are so bad. Like pathetic
can't even beat burnley at the moment. :slap: :Khan_you_fix_it:
Why no Lukic/TC/ESR? Our biggest issue has clearly been the midfield, imo.
theyre cheating crossing first time
It turns out we're sh!te at this football lark...

We shouldn't need a 6 at home to Burnley. That's why we are losing. Play 2 creative players that keep the ball. Berge plays sideways walking football and keeps giving it away.

What? You do need at least one somewhat defensive minded midfielder in a team. Name one team that doesn't play with at least one?
Silva too reactive, not
Proactive.
Poor game management again.
Q - why does it take a goal to increase our tempo as the home side?
Making Burnley look like a world class defense
We are a joke, where is the keep calm we are only x points off Europe.
Something has to change, we keep talking about how strong this squad is now, then surely it's the man that's leading them has taken them as far as he can?

I am probably wrong but I have always felt that he has not had anyone to be devil's advocate since Boa left.
If we don't turn this round, the Hammersmith Bogs will combust and burst into flames.
Why do we have to go one down to wake up
Get in King!
King well done
Even if we win today, this team doesn't fill me with confidence that we could get another 3-4 additional wins required to get Europe. This season is over.
Goooaaal
Yeeeeeeees
What was that???
get in! nice from king
Thank God! God save our King.
Jeezus dont tell me weve scored
That's more like it. Well done.
Need to keep the same urgency now
Silva in!
Tbh irrespective of who the manager is, looking at our last 10 games where there's been maybe 90 mins of decent football across a number of games, some of the results are abysmal and the style of play is offensive. Until King equalised we'd not scored in 5 hours against some awful teams and a championship club, we should be demanding better and the manager doesn't seem to show any signs of life
Cheers Dubravka!
Well done, King. Looked very sharp this half.
King of the Castle
A goal? Am i seeing things
Our tempo has increased two-fold because they scored.
Why? Why only after they scored?
We are much the better team, playing at home, easily safe from relegation. What's stopping us from giving it a go? No pressure at all..

I disagree - the tempo has been higher in the second half in general. It then picked up when the subs came on - which is also right after their goal. So there were three factors - halftime talk, goal, subs
Wilson!

So is everyone giving up on Leno now!
Shouldnt have been allowed that space to shoot, but Great save Leno
Remain unconvinced by Anderson.
Would like to see poor old Diop get the run in the side he deserves.
Leno has been superb today.
Why is Reed coming on and not Lukic/TC?
Wilson MOTM comfortably.

Think we need to briefly mention Iwobi too. Last handful of games his passing has been very poor.
I like Iwobi. He's the thrusting midfielder we need.. but so disappointed by his passing in recent games. Hopefully he picks up next season.
Another important Leno stop
Leno again
Iwobi has been really poor since his return from Africa!

Agreed. I think he needs a run at left wing where his poor passing won't matter as much and he might get a confidence boosting goal or two.
How has ESR not hit that first time.e
We've reacted well to their goal - as we should.
Brilliant pass from Chukwueze and we get a penalty!
Penalty
REd card as well!
Harsh for me.
Yeeeeees

YES !!

That was brilliant vision to make that pass, and we know Rauls finishing from the spot
Someone tell Berge to shoooooooot
Winning 3-1 despite playing poorly is a very encouraging sign IMO.
Keep going and let's see where we end up.

Pass was first class
How has Chukwueze missed that?
Berge with the pass... :slap:
even with raul's record, i still get nervous whenever we get a penalty.
Raul actually reversed his forward motion on that penalty kick.
He's lucky the ref allowed it.

Straight red for Dogso, he was on a yellow anyway so either way he wouldve been off
Close from Chukwueze
3 points and run
Leno for man of the match!

BBC commentators say he pretty much stopped twice, but he shuffled his feet which seemed to have helped him get away with it.
First goal for Raul since his dads passing, hence the celebration. Overall its good to get a result and go to the break on a win
Fine margins Mr Parker.

Made me tear up
Flattering scoreline.
Biggest concern was lack of tempo for 60 minutes until they scored and the shackles seemed to come off. Question of delayed subs again by Silva *not for the first time* this season.
Anyway, after 65 minutes we went into third gear driven by MOTM Wilson (who I suspect will be off for bigger and better things in the summer).
Parker will probably lament their penalty shout in the first half and Jiminez's run up in our penalty.. but if he's being honest they couldn't convert their initial pressure into goals (sadly the hallmark of relegation sides, as we know all too well in the past).
I remain concerned by our form going into the final stretch and have very little expectation of a Europe spot as a result. I remain sceptical of Silva's decision making.. but I guess 3 points is 3 points, and we are now 8th in the league if you can believe it.
COYW..!

Would like to see poor old Diop get the run in the side he deserves.
Another 5/10

Fair call. I am a massive Wilson fan though. Great to see him reaching Andy Cole levels of goals for Fulham in a season.
Fulham into 8th place for now...

Says a lot. We came good at the end but they had too many chances. I know we have a good squad and I like Marco's style but I am so frustrated when we don't play to our potential. Personally I hope we don't qualify for Europe, so many teams have fallen away badly in the league when they compete in Europe without the depth of resources that the Manchester clubs and Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea have.

...but there again the ref was Kavanagh. Any similarity between his decisions and the laws of the game are purely coincidental.

Important point. Newcastle, Spurs, etc all struggled this year.
