This Rico is useless
Occasionally makes a good save - er... that's it

Fabri is no better, neither of them are good enough.

Rico is hopeless - I would put Betts back in.

He has had a knee op, nick, out for the season unfortunately.
At one point we Bryan marking Diop and the keeper being clearly distracted (and fouling) Hernandez. Why didn't we put a defender between keeper and Hernandez to relieve the pressure? Sunday League stuff!

Rico is better overall, but Fabri has different weaknesses. FFC needs a goalkeeper that handle a corner and come off his line, that's not Rico.
I'm bored with FFC making the same mistakes. Go Fabri 049:gif at least the kind of goalkeeping mistakes that leads to goals will change.
FFC own Fabri, so we either need to integrate him in to the team for next year or get him on the field so when we sell him we get a good price.
We need a keeper that can help organize the back 3 4 5 or 6 or whatever formation we choose next week

From his very first game I said he was not good enough because of a total inability to deal with crosses. I said it would cost us dear and it has.

Ah, a pity! We would have done better with
Joe Hart signed in January, unfortunately short-sighted transfer policy is costing Fulham it's PL survival.
Even the third goal he dived immediately rather than taking a step or two first. failing to reach a slow moving ball.

Give up. He is a mediocre Championship Gk at best. Was majorly found out in the PL.

Correct. I think he's good in the Championship but not quite there for prem. I do really like him though. He's a great character and we need players like that.
I would convince Joe Hart to join Fulham in our challenge to bounce back next season.

Sorry but I really do not agree with that. He played behind a similarly dodgy defence that Rico has and both have struggled pretty much equally. They have different strengths and weaknesses but overall their records are not dissimilar. Personally I would go with Betts (ignoring the injury) because he deals with crosses far better, actually catching the ball. Given that we defend poorly on both flanks the current squad will always be at risk from crosses and corners so Betts would get my vote. Just my opinion but I would love to know why "he is a mediocre Championship GK at best"? Especially since he was a mainstay in a promoted club.

The England manager seems to rate him as being better than a mediocre Championship player.
None of our keepers are good enough. If I was to drop Rico it would be for Fabri.
I can understand the different reasons people are comparing all three Goalkeepers, for me Fabri is mediocre and too short to be the answer. I would prefer Betts when he is fit, but in the meantime I would like to see Marik Rodak play, at least we know he will get plenty of practice.

Steady on.
Rico is a good shot stopper, but lacks in command of his area. Fabri wasn't really good at anything. Betts more commanding, but not as good a stopper as Rico.
Of the three Rico is the best, but he's also in poor form. We will always notice that more from a keeper than another position.

+1 We don't react do we? If we're badly set up from the start, we're done.

Great analysis on Fabri from 2 games 🙄
Earlier in the game I'd turned to the bloke next to me, and said he should have caught it, when he flapped and weakly punched at a cross, and nearly cost us.
His errors have cost us crucial goals, though his shot stopping and reflexes have also saved us at times. Unconvinced that he's better than Betts though.
Another very frustrating game, again - when we looked as if we could and should have got something, but wre undone by defensive errors, and failing to take the few chances we created.
I noticed, and wondered if it was significant, that the players all came over to clap the fans, though we were already heading down the steps to the exits - those who still remained at the end -- I've never seen so many Fulham fans leave early at an away game.

He was poor pre season too. It wasn't just 2 games.
