Post by: Ordar on May 04, 2013, 03:17:40 PM
I wish Jol would stop playing Ruiz as a number 10 behind Berbatov. The number of times it has been effective this season can be counted in one hand. Ruiz's goal return is pathetic for a forward.

He either learns to play wide properly or doesnt play. The attack is too slow with them both up front.

surprised Jol reacted so early by hauling Karagounis off but glad he has. Now he needs to motivate the players.

We have so much talent in our team but it just seems that Jol can't get the best out of any of the players at his disposal.

That is irrelevant and has been used as an excuse for far too long.

He can't score.
He can't play number 10.
He can't play on the wings.
He falls over for fun.
He is SO left footed it's unbelievable.

Total waste of money and if we are relying on him to be our play maker then we are in real trouble next season.

He can play number 10 and can score. We need to bring in someone like Huddlestone to provide creativity from deep so Ruiz doesn't have to drop so deep.
He doesn't fall over more than any other Fulham player that's rubbish, he's less of a soft touch now.
He's a delightful talent and with the right players around him will flourish.

Riise and Duff are past it.
Ruiz is not a forward
Emanuelson has done nothing.
Theres no pace and we're very easy to defend against

McCarthy made a couple of great saves, but he shouldnt have been given a chance

Good to see that we look better up front with Rodders up front and Ruiz pushing up. Not at all sure why we haven't scored a few more. But our defending is so poor. Still very much relegation threatened.

Post by: Bassey the warrior on May 04, 2013, 04:58:18 PM
Awful, woeful, shameful. Only Rodallega can hold his head high today, best performance in a Fulham shirt he's had.
Jol has to take plenty of blame. Tactically he got it horribly wrong. Reading are quick on the wings, the right wing especially so dropping our quickest left sided players made no sense whatsoever. They also pack the midfield so play a diamond formation also made no sense. Very very poor from him.

The players were truly woeful though, completely unprofessional. I'm not even going to single out individuals because no one had a good game apart from Rodallega.

Newcastle have: QPR (A), Arsenal (H) Need 3 Points
Norwich have: WBA (H), Man City Away Need 3 Points
Villa have: Chelsea (A), Wigan (A) Need 1 Point

We have Liverpool (H) and Swansea away.

It is not totally out the realms of possibility that we'll go down actually....

oh dear oh dear. I am so glad I didn't watch a stream (based on comments here). Norwich v Villa was on tv here. If we had to play Villa, they would have scored 6 against Fulham today. pace, pace and more pace. I guessed it might be a better option.

The discussions about Jol will start tonight. I doubted him in the beginning, warmed to him a bit but really doubting due to tactics of last 2 months.

Title: Re: Fulham v Reading match thread
Post by: Lighthouse on May 04, 2013, 05:06:51 PM
We must play Rodders up front alongside Berbatov as I have wanted for some time. He missed a few was unlucky for a few. But we created more chances with a more attacking formation. Playing that starting line up against Reading is disgraceful. Jol tried to change it but our awful defending let us all down. But PLEASE JOL PLAY TO WIN AND AN ATTACKING FORMATION.

YOU ARE KILLING US.
