Haven't posted this season but need a rant and our left side today is the worst I've seen all season.
Hats of to Robinson, if he wants a move that first 45 will have league 1. Clubs lining up outside Motspur Park.
That's me done with the man......he just isnt a premier level footballer.
I don't like to pile on to criticism of Fulham players, but Robinson has been incredibly poor today. One of the worst performances of any player in a Fulham shirt in many years. Gifted them two goals pretty much and was terrible throughout.
Yeah it's worrying that he never found his gears again post-injury. Hopefully this has been a blip and he can get back to it next season.

He never had it in the first place. He is just a super athlete never a footballer.
He was shocking

This is revisionist, up to his injury he was a big part of our success both going forward and defensively
He was one of the POTS last season so it's seriously disappointing he's not been able to recover from his injuries

He used his speed to compensate for a lack of footballing brain. When the gas no longer turned on, he was found wanting.
Even more Frustrating as he looked good when he came on at villa...
Not sure the surgery apart has happened to him unrecognisable from previous seasons.
If he has a good world cup, it might make for a club to put an offer in for him.
Absolutely unbelievable player for us in some important years, watching him and Willian was incredible, but deal him for what we can in the summer. He's obviously been very poor overall sense coming back but today was another level of low.
His form since his injury and the operation has fallen off a Cliff. What we are most certainly not privy to is whether he is still recovering, whether our medical team believe he can recover his old pace and how long (if at all) this might take.
Without this inside information it's impossible to call whether the club should retain him or try to sell (and what the chances are of his passing a transfer medical).
Had no pre-season, and then had an unexpected setback in his recovery. He hasn't gone from our player of the season to League One standard in one year.
He was indeed poor today. Where was he when Raul was made to look foolish for the first goal? However, there HAS been a virus in the camp (hence Berge's absence) and looking at the way he was struggling to get back at times he might (might - I don't know) just have been suffering from it - especially as there is no other option at left back at the moment.
He's performing like it MTC.

Disagree, one of his biggest strengths the last couple years was his reading and baiting of interceptions. Watched him closely off the ball and he frequently would be leaving just enough gap to tease the opposition into making the wide pass/switch thinking they had enough room and then reading it brilliantly he would be ready waiting to step up to intercept before launching into a counter attack at speed.
He can, when sharp, read the game well AND recover due to athelticism. But he's been no where near that form this year for sure. Heads all over the place and can only hope it's temporary

In my opinion he has checked out of fulahm for the world Cup and couldn't care less. He will play the WC and be done. Today was his worst performance ever

Not sure that's the case, I think he is struggling after the injury, as others have said. If what you say is true, while bad, it's not the absolute worst case scenario, as he might have a good World Cup and we can sell him then.

I'm very worried about the Bournemouth match now. If Sess isn't back, we can either play Robinson again and hope he returns to his best, play Castagne there, which isn't ideal as he's right footed or play Bassey, which isn't ideal as he pretty much exclusively plays as a cb for us and I'm not sure he'd have good positional awareness there. The few times he did play there for us, from memory, he didn't do too well.

Missing a whole pre season hasn't helped and not having a Owabi and a William down he's side like past seasons has probably affected him also
Bad Game from him, and not a great season. Think its harsh to question his character, for me he always comes across that he cares and would be the first to put his hands up. Needs the fans support at this moment.
At his age and after a serious knee injury you lose a yard of pace . combine this with his lack of match fitness and it could explain a lot. To be fair to him he has done very well against saka in the past . He has never been a great footballer ,but a superb athlete. Take away his extreme physical qualities of pace and stamina and given that he no longer has the ability to repair being out of position or losing the ball ,it's not surprising that he has been poor. Not sure if he will be the same player again, as last season he was excellent.

Agreed, thought he was very good in that Villa cameo. This Arsenal show, really off the boil. Probably one of his poorest games in a FFC shirt.
Yes - he was incredibly poor yesterday and needs to be dropped (unless of course he was one of the players suffering from the virus - in which case - why the hell did Marco play him, when he could have put Bassey at LB)!
Shame to see some fans piling on him, when clearly he has just not recovered his form after injury. As others mentioned - he has been ok in other games off the bench.
Let him go to the World Cup and try to find his form. Hopefully we will see him back to his best in a Fulham shirt after that.
No club will offer much money for him the way he is playing, so I think we should be believe in him.

He may have been one of the players who was ill for most of the week which would reduce his levels of energy etc
Robinson has developed a habit of turning away from shots and crosses.
It happened again on Saturday for Saka's like cross for Gyoceres's tap in.
This us completely unacceptable,cowardly and shows a lack of commitment.
Players who do this should be fined.

I'm not disagreeing that Jedi has developed this habit but I haven't noticed it particularly although I could have just somehow missed it if he's the serial offender you claim him to be.
Pros on massive wages cowardly turning their back is one of my biggest bug bears in modern football along with diving and simulation.
Check out the Inter Milan LB who turned his back for PSG's second goal in last season's Champions League Final. The shot was so weak that if he'd just fronted up he'd have had time to control the shot and clear it. Instead it deflected off him and into the net. Total embarrassment that Steven Gerard pointed out in the half time analysis.
If every PL club fined players for turning their back when "defending", they'd recoup millions over the course of a season.
Mac Allister was guilty of it yesterday against Man Utd.
Harry Wilson was having a bit of a quiet patch then the captaincy of Wales coincided with a dramatic improvement in his form and effectiveness.
Let's all hope the World Cup does the same with Robinson after all his injury problems.
He deserves all of our support after not angling for a move prior to his injury in contrast with many players these days.
It's probably not ideal it's a World Cup year as he could have done with an extended break. With the amount of games missed through injuries this season I tend to think for someone who's been as fit as he has year in year out it looks like he is trying to play catchup at the moment. Not sure how he can get back to those levels of fitness for the remainder of this season?
Think it's plain to see fitness is the issue with him and probably showing up more as we have become accustomed to his energy levels since he joined us and to see the drop off second half of season is evidence of an injury plagued campaign.
I don't see how other than fitness you see a drop off in form like his shown. His strength has always been getting up and down the left flank. This season when returning he has not had a winger in front of him where you could say they have an understanding as yet? Wilson plays off the right and the only one I can think of is Iwobi who he possibly would have had some a bit of relationship that side but his not really featured as a wide player this season. Dont get me wrong he does get caught out at times ball watching defensively and he can't cross a ball for Toffee but he is a very good solid left back and would be hopeful he'll return to that form next season.

I disagree. It should be a firing squad for cowardice. A volley of ten footballs fired at close range with hands tied and no blindfold.

Might need to borrow a centre forward from somewhere in this scenario.
