This game should be a good indicator of the team's direction. Let's hope they can pull it together.
Need to come out fighting and get a quick goal
Anyone getting Jim?
Anyone have a stream? Actually found one: https://www.footybite.to/Fulham-vs-Sunderland/53426
A good showing at home would be nice... ::scarf::
I reckon this is the sort of game we have 65-70% possession and create bugger all.
They'll probably have 2-3 chances and capitalise.
Decent enough start
Poor defending there.
Such poor defence. 3 of them around watching Traore chase it down and react first
Leno saved us there...phew.
The weather looks delightful. ::tongue::
Does anyone know what position Wilson played for Wales when he scored 3 the other day?
No problem with Wilson taking a shot there. It was a decent effort as well.
Nicely done Harry. Get the next one.

False 9 I believe
not too much happening (cue goal).
Gonna be one of those days isn't it
That was somewhat similar, but I feel like Kevin should have passed it to Wilson as he was in a better position + I think he's a better finisher than Kevin.
On a different note, I was critical of Berge not using his physicality well so far this season, today he's been good in that regard apart from that one header he really should have won.
Good cross for Kevin now too.
sense a goal is coming.....
Playing reasonably well. Just need that first goal
Another decent attack, but what was Bassey doing at the start of it? We almost gave them a great chance again.
That's more like it. Keep it up!
Poor effort from Berge in the end, but nice to see him try something like that
shot from outside the box.
Excellent work from King there
Forest 1up at Liverpool.
With this much dominance we really are suffering from our blunt attack. Long experience tells me that failing to take advantage will come back to bite us. 😨
west ham 2 up
Terrible defending again, luckily shot was equally poor
We really don't want Forest and West Ham to win

Deja Vu... ::wink::
As some of us have been saying, we're in serious strife this season. Results elsewhere going against us (as pointed out by others above).
If we can't win here it's hard to see where the next 3 points are coming from
Good attack again. Should have been a corner too
Wet Spam and Forest both winning - gaining on us at the moment. COYW
Our lack of scoring is dreadful. I'm hoping it's a confidence issue that will be corrected with a goal or two.
Kevin needs to be better.
70% possession
You don't get points for style in this league. You get points for scoring more than the opposition.
At the moment we couldn't score in a brothel with a fistful of 50s
Quote from: keithh on November 22, 2025, 03:43:06 PM70% possession
A great man called that on the first page of this thread
Superb tackle from Tete there

I think maybe with 100's, maybe...
So frustrating to not have scored when we look so dominant
Muniz is such a huge loss were crying out for a mobile finisher.
Josh should probably have 2 assists from Wilson and Kevin's 1 on 1 fumble
Could easily have been 2+up this half but here we are. Really must be time to try JKA or ALB soon.
ESR for Kevin needed
Quote from: onecupsoon on November 22, 2025, 03:47:35 PMESR for Kevin needed
Kevin's been decent and looked a threat but completely ballsed up the 1 on 1 with the ball skidding around in the wet
I thought Kevin has been very dangerous but a little wasteful but don't think it's wasteful enough to be replaced
Decent half, in fact much better than what I expected when the lineups were announced.
Positives:
- Our wingers and midfielders are doing somw decent things in attack.
- Berge is having by fsr his best game this season and a game that's uo there with his best in Fulham shirt. Those Norway results seem to have hsd a positive effect on him.
- Iwobi is having his best game in an 8 role.
-Andersen looks good.
Negatives:
-Raul has been extremely poor. We need to sub him at half time for Chukwueze/Adama and play Wilson/Chukwueze as a false 9.
-Bassey, while having some magnificent moments had some iffy moments too.
- and finally, the biggest negative, we should have scored in this half. I doubt Sunderland will be as poor in the second half.
😟

great summary, although I'd add that Kevin looked very nervous both times he went through. I hope he gets that out of his system as a young fella

We've supported this club long enough. We know how this will go.
I'm tipping another 3-4 decent chances before we get undone by a late Sunderland goal.
It seems like there will be no subs at half time.
Raul has been feckless since mid to late last season. So damn frustrating to watch.

OOOh! What does Feckless mean?
Results are not going in our favour. We need 3 points

There never are for us.

He has no Feck...
Liverpool 0 Forest 2
I can see Klopp coming back to them after his break.
Is it just me or are they getting away with loads of fouls?
Get Chukwueze/Adama on for Raul asap.
Quote from: SerbianLad on November 22, 2025, 04:13:08 PMGet Chukwueze/Adama on for Raul asap.
Yep, bring on Chuk ASAP.
Quote from: SerbianLad on November 22, 2025, 04:13:08 PMGet Chukwueze/Adama on for Raul asap.
I think that's a good call now
Is kevin actually crap? Say it aint so
"The longer this game goes on, the less chance we have to score." (I got that from Scotty. 😇)
I'm bored.
Chukwueze for raul
Wilson or chuk up top pls
Then on 70/75 Wilson off JKA up top if needs be
Two terrible passes from Berge in a row. He's been great today, but that was poor
Is Harry playing in the second half?
Possession more equal now - in one way I like that, should leave more spaces for us to exploit.
Come on Marco this isn't working.
Changes now please.
We need subs now
We're doing our best Keystone Cops routine ATM.
Come on, let's kick it up a notch.
Why is Raul still on?
Huh?
🤔
Not what I'd have gone but hopefully Marco knows best here . King been our best player kevin more dangerous than Wilson
Sunderland are looking like they want to win this game.
Close!
Just take Raul off and put Wilson up front
What has raul done to justify still being on at 70mins? He's been mostly anonymous again. I dont get it, could JKA really have done any worse even if "not ready?"...like he's really done very little little but run about so far
Carrying a passenger in Raul. Wouldn't have taken King off, King up top and ESR for Raul. Poor subs
I'd get Adama on for Raul and move Wilson to the false 9 position. He clearly looks like oir best chance of scoring a goal.
Quote from: jayffc on November 22, 2025, 04:27:47 PMJust take Raul off and put Wilson up front

Yes, Wilson or King. Raul is a passenger
Not one Premier league home team has scored today, let's be the first
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. ::wink::
Agreed with the people wondering what Raul is still doing on the pitch.
Marco has to swallow his pride and put JKA on.
Wilson took too many touches there. Should have got his shot off earlier.
Quote from: FFC In Oz on November 22, 2025, 04:30:32 PMAgreed with the people wondering what Raul is still doing on the pitch.

It's completely mental.
Even if Jka is raw, hes playing up front it's not a defensive liability, he can't do any worse than rauls done today. Incredibly poor again there
At worst hell be equally as a bad 😅
Get Raul Off
Decent effort from ESR
Imagine how great January will be with our 3 Nigerian boys off at AFCON.
Quote from: Thailand Mick on November 22, 2025, 04:28:44 PMNot one Premier league home team has scored today, let's be the first

Get Raul off already.

GET RAUL OFF
Raul off for Adama and Wilson to the false 9 position asap
Chukwueze and ESR have both looked good since coming on.
I swear, we're allergic to scoring. What's it going to take?
Liverpool 0 Forest 3
Bournemouth 2 Spam 2

Well he is our top scorer ::wink::

The Tea Lady is available. :guitar-playHDs:
According to the offal we've had 17 shots but only 4 on target. They've had 4 but 2 on target. I no longer get excited when GJs voice suggests we have a chance.
What an assist from Chukwueze! Get in Raul!!!
OF COURSE!!!
Oh, the irony. 😂
Jonah could've done that Marco!!
Hahahhahahaha
Yeeeeees
GET HIM OFF
I MEAN
BUILD THE STATUE !!! 🤣🤣🤣
That's why you don't take Raul off. He's a goal scorer.
Quote from: SerbianLad on November 22, 2025, 04:42:29 PMWhat an assist from Chukwueze! Get in Raul!!!
Quote from GJ "get in Raul - I told you his legs had gone!"
see we where all right Get Raul off :slap:
Perfect cross.
I'd still make the Adama for Raul sub. It's better for counter attacks.
Brilliant from Samu.
PLEASE don't sit back and invite pressure for the last 9-10 minutes now
WHAT a Ball by the way .
Chuk needs to start
And ESR has been very bright too
Raul is currently our only forward. It was a tough game, but he managed to score; that's what counts.

I'm interested again now !
Well done Raul!
Now give the kid some minutes, Marco
Lol Raul still playing s*** but credit for the goal at least 🤣🤣
give the bean pole 10 nminsa rAULS KNAckered
Adama, never!
He will give the ball away and put us in trouble!

That's reeds job 😅
Squeaky bum time - please don't go all defensive and invite pressure.
Chukwueze is amazing
Chuk and ESR are playing well.
We should have won this about 5-0
Quote from: jayffc on November 22, 2025, 04:51:16 PMWe should have won this about 5-0
It was Close... ::tongue::
Stupid yellow cards
Raul has been so bad haha 95minutes
JKA must be completely useless 🤣
Why is is Raul still out there? (reverse psychology)...
Get in!!!
What just happened? ::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf::
Boy we needed those points. Chuk has to start going forward
I'll take it. Big points. ::scarf::
Much needed.
Relief more than anything given all the missed chances.
Samu was fantastic, changed the game
That is much more like it today
Sunderland seem to be sore losers
::scarf::
We needed those three points. Considering Sunderland's form so far this season we did well to keep a clean sheet, but oh how we need a reliable striker.
Well done boys. ::scarf::
I've missed this winning feeling.
What a bloody relief
Were back
Made it difficult and my GOD we need to finish better but we absolutely dominated them where many teams have fallen to them this year.
COYW upwards and onwards.
silly yellows
This is not good for my ulcer... ::scarf::
Quote from: FulhamKC on November 22, 2025, 04:52:40 PMStupid yellow cards
I didn't mind them. Most of them were for time wasting. Considering our poor form results wise, we really needed those 3 points today. A nice bonus is that we rattled their coaching staff and Xhaka.
Quote from: FulhamKC on November 22, 2025, 04:43:52 PMThat's why you don't take Raul off. He's a goal scorer.
I think people forget this sometimes.
As an American...when he plays against my country I hate him.
Love him as a backup striker for Fulham though. He's a goal scorer.

Cos he scores the winner. Easy half an hour after the final whistle.
