Hopefully we'll start fast COYW!
Yessss
Get in...What a start. ::scarf::
::scarf:: ::scarf::
Yeeees
Yessssssssss
BRILLIANT WILSON!! WHAT A GOAL!!!
Unbelievable 2 up in 7 mins.
Wtf it's going on? :claping20hands:
Harry!!!
Yeeees
Fab-u-lous darlings
It's like playing Brentford
I love Chukwueze!
Edit:and he hits the post now.
Chuk hits the post!!
Chuk is a menace!
We need to sign him up NOW
Think marco has seen enough to make the chuk deal permanent now
This is how we should start EVERY game
Fantastic start, never seen a spurs side look so fragile
Keep at them,let's not let the great start go to waste. ::scarf::
We need to keep this tempo for as long as we can
Scumbag Bergval lucky not to get a yellow
Poor from Chukwueze there
Need a third and that'll really get the home crowd angry.
King's first assist?
Chukwuze needs to do better there...
That should have been three....
They're rattled
Van de ven just stopped it being a tap in for 3, we need to keep this up
We need a strong ref today
What is Alan Smith on about?
Van De Ven would look GREAT in a Fulham kit. Immediately make him our biggest signing this season.
Excellent from Chukwueze there. VDV saved them again.
King is such a natural footballer
Spurs playing so high up makes Marco's job so much easier
Iwobi is so much better in CM with Berge. Much more positive.
Brilliant first half! ::scarf::
Booing their own keeper- class.
The boos are raining down. They are not happy.
Superb...Hope we can keep it up next 45mins.
Spurs can't be that bad in the 2nd half. We need to start bright again, another early goal please.
Quote from: Twig on November 29, 2025, 08:39:43 PMKing is such a natural footballer
Maybe but he is a bit lightweight and is easily dispossessed. Not likely to have the necessary grit to play the way we will need in the second half.
Only four points off of 5th place as it stands...
Well played all of you. No weak links anywhere. Tete as magnificent as ever
That was hilarious from Wilson btw.

He's a boy. In three years he'll be competing for the CL. In 6 years he'll be competing for the Ballon d'Or.
Great first half (although if I'm nitpicking, Spurs have largely taken control of the match in the last 15 or so minutes).
More of the same in the second half please!
I also hope Marco will give them instructions to try and keep the same intensity. I know it's difficult(or even impossible) to do that for the entire match, but we can always make early subs (e.g. around 60th minute) as we have good options of the bench. Kevin and Adama for the wing positions, and Lukic, ESR and TC for the midfield positions.

He's the most anti Fulham guy on the air.

Yeah I'd be looking to bring ESR into proceedings around the hour mark.

He plays in a completely different position of course, but I am reminded of when I first saw Paul Parker. Again, I just saw a wonderful natural talent and I remember thinking that this lad will play for England. Same applies as far as I am concerned with young Josh.
Alan Smith must be in the old boys club, he offers no more insight than a bloke from the pub.
The us commentators are crapping all over spurs.."oh...and Fulham...are well set up" afterthought slight praise

Pretty much like everyone on here then.
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on November 29, 2025, 08:56:56 PMYeah I'd be looking to bring ESR into proceedings around the hour mark.
Yeah, definitely. I have no problem with any of the performances so far, but I'd rather they give their absolute all for another 15 minutes and then we sub them off for fresh players. We have good options everywhere bar maybe the striker position.
Chuk is a great addition to our attack but needs to tighten up in some areas. He has given the ball away more than I would like, and hasn't quite got up to PL speed of thought required against experienced defenders.
King should do better there
That was far too easy for them. Lucky not to be punished.
That was some poor defending there (and a miscommunication between Berge and Iwobi prior to that)
we're defending well but the crucial word is defending. We really need some possession to steady the ship.
Poor start to the second half....
Ah!
Need changes now
I just knew a goal was coming.
Oh come the love on. So bloody passive, crap touch puts us in danger, and of course he smashed it in.
Just playing far too deep. Were asking for it
We need to hold onto the ball more. We are giving possession away too easily now and giving them (and their fans) hope.
There you go.
Subs needed asap. Lukic, ESR and Kevin for Berge/Iwobi, King and Chukwueze for me. We need some bite in the middle (Lukic) and King and Chukeuze have faded in the second half.
Silva needs to sort this out now, sitting back and keeping Raul on is not good
We asked for that!
Wtf are the tactics for this half? poo ourselves and give them the impetus!
Why is Silva waiting this long for subs
Bizarre piece of goalkeeping from Leno for that goal.. after 2 aimless goal kicks. Why go for it with the opposite hand?
Not a night to be a goalkeeper.
Commentators so gleeful with that
After the first 30 mins it looks like we've gone into bunker mode which we shouldn't be doing against a crap team in bad form with home support on their backs. Didn't feel super positive in the few mins prior to the goal but we're far too deep and not keeping the ball
We need to get hold of the ball and keep possession.
Think the spurs subs will help us
Why has Silva not made changes. We've been awful second half, so passive.
Lumping high balls to Raul constantly isn't working.
You need fighters now so not sure who to bring on to be honest.
Would say Lukic but it invites pressure.
Kevin or Traore? Kevin a bit lightweight perhaps.. Traore?
Quote from: Nero on November 29, 2025, 09:21:15 PMThink the spurs subs will help us
If we can stop panicking and hoofing it any time we get anywhere near the ball.
Commentators waving their spurs scarves around at that one
Got to keep calm,not panic.
Because if they equalise,they're sure to get the winner.
This is giving me Villa vibes
Sky so want Spuds to win this game.
All over us now. Some subs please
Whatever Silva said at half time was rubbish. We came out so negative. We should have really pushed to kill the game off, not give them all the impetus.
Just rubbish management
Lukic and ESR on...
100% take off Iwobi!
We have poo the bed by the looks of it, why are we mentally so weak in away games; Villa, Bournemouth etc.
Need a third to put this to bed.Coyw
I would bring King off.. and probably Chukwueze who is tiring.
So on comes Smith Rowe and Kevin as like for like?
Although I really want Lukic on as he will shore things up a bit.
We're just begging them to score again. All 11 behind the ball
Excellent defensive work from Raul there
Wilson has done a hamstring...
I know Josh is only young, but he could really do with bulking up a bit
Really need a third but we look like conceding 3
I have never felt comfortable with our defending a lead we just don't have the mental ability to see things through.
At this rate will be lucky to get a point
Rauls looking knackered again,
All the danger is from their right wing
Appalling second half... perhaps we took the lead too early!
Getting absolutely slaughtered. Kudus looks a class above
Just 20 mins to hold on 🙏🙏
Quote from: Sgt Fulham on November 29, 2025, 09:29:47 PMAt this rate will be lucky to get a point
Move Chukwueze there and get Adama on. Get Kevin on for Iwobi.
Another less-than-convincing Bassey performance for me.
Sess also looking a bit vulnerable as the game goes on at LB. Need Robinson for these games.
We just can't keep the ball.
Quote from: FFC007 on November 29, 2025, 09:30:32 PMAppalling second half... perhaps we took the lead too early!
It's what happens in games many times.
Kevin for Chukwueze I think....
Excellent from Berge, poor from ESR, although I think Sess should have made that pass earlier
Iwobi has to go!
No tackling and no passing today!
He's knackered and NOT irreplaceable as it seems Marco thinks!
Raul looks shattered
Let's give the keeper something to do at least
I want to sub Kevin for Iwobi on the left.
Keep Chuk on despite tiring.
Leon's distribution isn't the best.
We've been pushed into rush mode. Trying to play too quickly and giving the ball back to them.
Kevin up front? Or traore?
Quote from: Caedal on November 29, 2025, 09:21:50 PMWhy has Silva not made changes. We've been awful second half, so passive.
Lumping high balls to Raul constantly isn't working.
He never heads them.
I would say "since Lukic has come on we've looked more solid"
But I daren't.
last few minutes weve got a better defensive shape. Will be a miracle if we survive though.
I do think subs have helped slightly (Lukic already had some decent defensive moments and ESR managed to get on the ball more than King did in the second half), but we need more subs.
Have to take a point as a minimum here...

It's not like we ha e a 6.4ft forward on the bench
I think Raul is ready to come off. That yellow might make up Marcos mind.
Kevin for Chukwueze...
Why is Raul still on
Kevin on for Chukwueze.
Good change at last
Tete has been immense tonight.
Kevin could excel here with them pushing forward...
Subs made big difference
We need to watch this guy Tel, can't believe they didn't bring him on earlier
I'd get Adama on for Raul and try and hit them on the counter at least. Raul looks extremely tired...
Quote from: SerbianLad on November 29, 2025, 09:44:31 PMI'd get Adama on for Raul and try and hit them on the counter at least. Raul looks extremely tired...
Cant even close down, which is what we need
Castagne for IWOBI...
Castagne for Iwobi???
Lukic has shown Berge how to get stuck in and break up play.
Five at the back...
We really can't keep the ball or clear our lines safely.
Not sure why Silva is so insistent that Raul just plays regardless of what's happening or how knackered he is

Blimey, this is stressful
Only 4mins extra time,thought they'd give them more.
Kenny!
Tete has had a monstrous game so far.
1 min to go...
Tete been superb.
Yes!
Brilliant win!!
Get in!!!
Come on ref blow that whistle.

Great win, despite the 2nd half
Brilliant
MOTM Tete
(2nd Anderson)
COYW! ::wine::
Fantastic result, awful last hour performance wise. Spurs were there for the taking and we basically pitched a tent on the edge of our own box
So happy with the result and the spirit but not the performance. Tête was immense for us.
Fank feck- thought I was having a heart attack during that 2nd half
