Let's emphasise the positives - we have a clean sheet! yee-haw!
Without Berbatov and Petric if I were Southampton I'd be lickin my chops. Not very positive... Next.
Should be OK today. Saints only win was against a team still in a mess. Heart says 1-2 win, head says 1-1.
Tape delayed for this afternoon, will watch it when I return from my Sunday morning match. :scarf:

oh no, Ramirez and Schneiderlin both fit.

I see that, oh well we are not scare we have Ruiz, Duff and Hugo
Sorry, read 'Ramirez' when it actually reads 'Rodriguez' - NO RAMIREZ! :yay:
It´s offiial, I love the third kit, no shame at all
crap, too early for that
1-0 soton
we always seem to concede early
When we are on sky we consede early -______-
Man, maybe Hugo should't have marking duties by the first post if that's how he defends :(
no one on far post?! thought we'd be rehearsing set pieces this week..
typical......only fulham.....why do we always start like this.....
When I was in school we always got told to put someone on the back post for set pieces. Yet fulham fc, ignore that. Classic start and zero firepower on the bench!
Typical away form, not off the bus yet. Not so much a dream start but still fast asleep start.
I'm off, my sunday game kicks off in an hour! Hope it gets better.
oh dear we need to start dishing out the diaclalm we might be able to keep a clean sheet then
As expected. This is going to be another long 90 mniutes, if not another West Ham performance in the making. I'm out of here, got better things to do with my Sunday than get wound up by this clap-trap again.
anyone got links for the match?

But we beat Nar-itch 5-0!
http://cricfree.tv/sky-sports-1-live-stream.php (http://cricfree.tv/sky-sports-1-live-stream.php)
we are playing far too slow, tempo needs to be much much quicker.
Only player who's turn up today is kaka ALL over 10 might as well go home
agree
They are quicker than us in closing down players
Who reckons sidwell was a better player when he was injured
Careless and really lacking in any ideas. We really look out of touch sometimes. Our defence is a year older and looks like it.
why do we put ourselves through this every away day.....it just puts you in a bad mood.
Baird, Ruiz & Rodallega, Riise all need to wake up..... what an awful first half.... Jol cant even bring anyone on to change the game. bad times indeed
There has been no pressure on their defence. They have a makeshift defence & we are offering nothing.
just hope we get to half time just 1-0 down.....
Jeez we are looking like Obama on a debate

We have a makeshift forward line that obviously suites their makeshift defence. They will take this all day long.
fantastic pressure by saints btw....trying to get the ball in our own half, we don't know what to do so it's mainly sideways and backwards. shocking. no go-to-guy. Sidwell's first touch is non-existant.
If Ruiz is going to play that deep then that's a complete waste of 10m quid.
Lack of creativity in general
Baird has to be replaced at ht..... worst half of football he has ever played

He was a waste of 10 million quid in the first place. People say it's about time he stepped up, he's never going to step up because his style of play and lack of phsical presence doesn't suit the Premiership.
i hope jol tears into them. They need a massive kcik up the backside.
Ruiz is the most frustrating player ever. Seems to slow every attack down by dwelling on the ball too long.
We've been awful and created nothing. No options on the bench. Getting over run in centre midfield.
Midfield is so slow. It's like they don't want to attack even on a brake away...
Move Duff inside for Baird & bring on Kasami. That´s all we have

There's one goal in unlike West Ham where we were 3-0 down at half time and the game was already lost. We managed to stop the rot but my issue today is that we have no one to change the game and I can't see us scoring.
It's like we don't want to go forward..... I'm so confused.......

He needs to play out wide in the front three where he'll have more time. In a number 10 role he has 3 midfielders jumping on him every time he gets the ball. Drop Duff into the midfield 3 and let him provide width when we need it. Pop Ruiz into the front 3 as an inside forward where he'll be forced to stay high up the pitch and move into the channels. That's where he scored all his goals at Twente

Hate to say it, but you're right.. He is looking "better" but he is not and never will be a key player in the team because this isn't the right league for him. Mind you, on that first half performance I don't think this is the right league for any of our players. We need a league where we only have to play at home.
LOL, Duff, Sidwell and Baird as the midfield three?
This will be a misplaced pass festival.
Well be honest. It is the same old story. We can blame Ruiz (not sure why) and we can speed up our attacking (but nobody in the area). But this side just aint good enough. Jol knows and we know it.
Let's hope we have at least a few good minutes in the second half to make up for yet another away game where so far we have stayed on the coach.
Does anyone think we can turn this match around? It's only a one goal deficit and with the right team talk there is no reason why we can't come out and control the match.
Ray Wilkins is a prat. He said they should have had a goal when Puncheon kicked Schwarzer. A foul is a foul. What an idiot.

Duff is a more than competent passer of a football and he has a very good work rate. So is Baird when he wants to be. Sidwell only keeps his place for his ball winning ability.
There's no midfield solution until January unfortunately. It's going to be long balls down the wings and channels in the mean time.
Midfield is not PL quality. Jol dropped the ball in the window.
Ruiz=Bambi.
Sorry but Ruiz just doesn't have anybody to play with you want a scapegoat how about hageland he pretty much has given away every ball that came to him.

Takes too long on the ball, is too weak for the PL, and he is all legs.
I was also very suprised that the club didnt see the fact there was a chance our best players could leave and didnt have players lined up....
ffs hangeland, stop doing that
every time hangeland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hangeland, Hughes and Riise. Awful.
one thing we lack massivley is leadership and a loud voice....
one shot on target all game...

All around awful
screw it... bring on Kasami, give him his chance.
we cant pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is it with away games ?
sitting back allowing them far to much space "close them down ffs "
Its just a mess at the mo need another striker , Southamptons defence is on cruise control As is the midfield and forwards there keeper may as well pop over the hoarding sit his arse down and enjoy the rest of the game with the fans !
Give the captains armband to Duff. he's the only one shouting at players to press Southampton.
Pressure at last!
:dead horse: AAAAH
This is why Ruiz should play wide. He can cross.
Bad luck is not enough for that
Surely we should have just been given 2 pens. One was off the line.

What has Kaca done to deserve to be subbed?
They simply locked theselves in their own field, and we don´t have the key
Wait.
We just subbed off our best player..
Jol is pissing me off. Won't be long until I'm calling for his ouster at this rate.

Riise's first goal..
Fulhamish.
It's on like Donkey Kong
Sidwell off?!?!
Im happy with 1-1. Definetely.
Karagounis on.
now Jol brings off anthrr one of the better players today Sidwell
Jol a tatical genuis 1-1
Subbing Kaca for Richardson was a masterstroke. Absolute GENIUS.
The scoreline reflects this.

Score a goal and then play 11 behind the ball.

Maybe he's trying to avoid getting sold after reading to many rumours on here about him leaving the club.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!
a hahahahahahahahahahahaha
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
KIERAN!
GET IN!
Great ball by Reither.
come on know jol was right taking off kaca
I swear about time we got lucky
ridiculous.
Jol clearly is a tactical genius!
Bobby hates crosses but Richardson clearly loves them!
MARTIN JOL IS THE GREATEST TACTICIAN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
GENIUS. GENIUS Substitution.
How did this happen?!? 064.gif
I think we were all right to say Richardson should never have come on for Kaka. Blimmin Jol.
Now we just need to hang on.
YAAAASS! Richardson has really impressed me since he came on too.
we never hang on
Of course.
So Fulhamish.
FFS!
oh come on!
typical...................................
:doh:
Now we need to hang on again
JOL OUT
now we will probably lose.....
NOOOOOOO, Fulhamish indeed
Two silly goals< I can't believe this crap
if both teams could get 0 points in this game then that would be appropriate
Hangeland was really poor there
Central defense and Schwarzer have been slow to react all match long.
Hangeland needs to have a few words said to him hes look awful all season, did he even jump then
How come we have forgotten how to defend set pieces? This is just silly :(

Stockdale needs to start next match.
Oh no corner again...
I'm cringing every time a ball comes into our box.
Oh well, we got one more point than we deserved in the end
What we have gained in attack we have lost in defence. We need to get back to basics.

Should have left the lead bottomed boots at home. Looked like we were moving in slow motion all match.

We really didn't even deserve the 1.
A draw is probably more than fair to be honest. We were massively poor for the majority of the game.

Not sure what everyone is moaning about. We should have won today, had the referee actually given us a clear free kick before their equaliser. He was giving them everything all day (even agreed by a Chelsea fan).
We didn't play that well, but we weren't helped
...I felt guilty about not going, this would have been my first away trip for ages, due to family circumstances I didn't go, glad I missed this judging by the reports. I really feel sorry for the faithful who put up with this regularly...
Swart and Brede will be costing us games soon. Swart at forty still makes saves but he costs us with his poor commanding of the area and reactions.
Still a draw that we didn't deserve over the 90 minutes against a not great Southampton.

Yeah, looked a blatant free kick to e but Richardson was so stupid committing that foul.
Schneiderlin should have gone too - a booking is a booking, the ref's job isn't to keep 11 players on the pitch it's to enforce the rules. Winds me up no end.
But, after the first half who wouldn't have taken a point?
Hangeland and Schwarzer were awful - absolutely awful.
Ok seriously did people actually watch the same game?! How didn't we deserve anything? We had the majority of the ball, and Southampton did absolutely nothing second half.

We should have been 2 down at half time, we got lucky with an own goal and really the lack of pressure against a team who did nothing in the second half was pretty poor. They deflected a shot onto their post and we scored a good goal. But we couldn't defend all game against the simplest of crosses and set plays. So lucky draw.
Before the match I would have been happy with a point, so I am happy we got a point ... but I'm not happy! :023:
I'm sorry I totally disagree. Southampton did absolutely nothing. They only looked threatening from corners because Schwarzer was all over the place.
We were probing alot, Richardson looked very lively when he came on. We did ok, midfield still a bit of an issue but will improve when Diarra is back.
The equilising goal was a joke, and the Southampton player should have been sent off, and us get a free kick, a second before they "won" a free kick. Referee was absolutely abysmal

+1
Its just a disappointment to claw back and then concede. I agree with you.
If Brede sulking for his big move- well Barnet wouldn't have him on his recent lazy displays..Stockdale a good call -and perhaps a wake up call for a few others..
:bang head: :bang head: :bang head:
No excuse no to be able to defend for a few measly minutes and secure the three points.
That team we played is crap and we just barely eek out a draw??? A Draw?
Very lack luster performance all around. And do we train on how to allow set piece's in the net?
Sorry no sliver lining - this was pathetic. We should in theory have enough talent to easily win this match...
I guess not. Nothing good to say about this garbage. fp.gif fp.gif fp.gif fp.gif
With the lack of key players today i think we did well. I'm disappointed we conceded and didn't get the full 3 points, but seeing we played better in the second half and poorly in the first half i think a draw is a fair result
Wigan, City and now saints in the last few minutes.. Keep the bloody door shut Fulham, doing my head in. As for the foul on the Greek it sadly goes to show that at times you need to roll the floor. It was his honesty that the ref wasn't good enough to see.
Not sure why Kaca came off, could have been 3 down at half time, much improved second half just lost concentration right at the end, referee was awful first half but better in the second. I would have taken a point given our injuries at the start of the game, just annoying to concede late on after what seemed the winner we scored.
One thing that really did annoy me today.. Ruiz, yes we all know he can take on players but why try to prove it by doing one or two then turning around to do it again?! Was easily taken off the ball today, didn't pass anywhere near enough as he should have, and he NEVER moves off the ball, he needs to do one player then run into space, I've seen him do it before. I never moan about Ruiz but he did annoy me today. But also he shown positives in the aspect that he could take players out of the game, but he did not support Rodallega enough today and did not run anywhere near enough.
One more moan, hangelands long balls. Enough said.
I shall end it on a very positive point though, Karagounis looked a complete player when he came on, reminded me of a mix of Murphs and Diarra.
As I stated before I would have taken a point, shame it wasn't 3 but it could have easily been 0 so on to the next one! Enjoy the point and get behind he lads like we always do for the next game.
WE ARE FULHAM
Schneiderlin not getting a second yellow was ridiculous. 100% clear yellow card foul with him already on a yellow. Totally bottled.
Karagounis was clearly fouled right before Richardson stupidly conceded the free kick that led to the equalizer. Awful again.
All that said, a draw probably was the right result. Shame that we keep conceding late, Hangeland and Schwarzer were abysmal, we were poor in the first 45, etc. It was a battle between a bad team and an injured team. We have two weeks to get healthy and we'll be much better against Villa at home on the 20th. I feel like we'll win that one and also win at Reading, assuming Berba's there.
Given all the upheaval and all the injuries in key spots, I'll certainly take 10 points from seven matches, already having played at United and vs City. Now let's improve from here as our options increase on the roster...
Good points Luke.
Ruiz was so annoying. I'm Not sure he's going to make it. I much prefer Berba Rod partnership.
I sometimes think people on here thrive on doom and gloom. First half we were poor, second we decimated them.
Set pieces are a worry though, and Hangland has been awful all season. No one can argue that. Is Douglas still available?
Yoshida clearly handled the ball on the line & there were another couple in the pen area that on another day would have been given. When are we going to stop letting in goals at the death? This has been going on for years. Three points were there for the taking but I suppose we should be happy after the 1st half to come away with one.
Possession
Southampton 57%
Fulham 43%
Dominated us in possession. Sorry this was horse crap performance if we would ever man up on the road this would have been an easy three.
I completely agree with the Hangeland and Schwarz comments, would be good to buy a new cb preferably Douglas in January, but how many games have H + S been soooo good for us. Keep the faith guys, we could have easily lost this game but we got a point, we shown some fight in the second half, with the likes of berba petric Frei and dejagah back in the squad we will be a much improved side.

Awful refereeing, what you expect from Clattenburg only he can know how he arrives at some of his decisions but he has given us some favourable decisions in the past, one very inportant game against Blackburn at home under Hughes when he denied them one and gave us one.
One little thing I noticed today, when we have a corner Riether is the one hanging on the edge of the box with Riise on the halfway line. Would have thought it would make sense switching those two so the Norwegian could have a pop if it falls to him, strange, though our set pieces generally lack strategy

I don't know where you got those stats, but they're rubbish.
Opta say 42% possession to them and 58% to us and, having been at the match, that confirms what I saw. We dominated possession in the second half particularly.
I think our performance was very disappointed today, we have been foreseeable for the entire game, we were lucky to score with two own goals and we shouldn't concede their equalizer in the last minute.
Oh one more thing, Riise looked VERY shaky today, Briggs to get a chance maybe?

Possession
Southampton 57%
Fulham 43%
Dominated us in possession. Sorry this was horse crap performance if we would ever man up on the road this would have been an easy three.
I don't know where you got those stats, but they're rubbish.
Opta say 42% possession to them and 58% to us and, having been at the match, that confirms what I saw. We dominated possession in the second half particularly.
Fair enough, but the 57/43 stats were still being quoted on TV as late as MOTD2 - so you can understand where the false info was coming from.
