Just saw that Patrick Roberts is in the starting XI for Boro.

Roberts has pace & they will use it on quick breaks after our attacks break down.

Nice to have Cairney back in the team, been missing that vision in midfield recently.

Great cross by Bryan to give Knockers a tap in.

People need to lay off our captain.   He's vital to this team moving up.

Nice finish

Am I right in thinking Patrick Roberts has now played more games at Craven Cottage than at the Ethiad Since his move to Man City ? He has only played one game for them.

Surely we can´t be thinking of selling Bryan..Cav & Onomah have missed sitters.

Looking assured so far. Should be more than one up at this point.

Doing very well exploiting the area outside their back 3.

We should be at least one more up and IF we had this young Boro side may cave in.

It's a 1 0 massacre so far, when it could be and should be a 4 0 massacre. Lots of energy alround, but it's goals that decide matches.
But it's wonderful to watch Fulham tonight.

We have got to score one of these chances, you cannot be this much on top and keep missing them, it will come back and bite us, if they get lucky we will be in real trouble.

They are in form.

Boro are playing tighter to our players so not the same space. We really be at least 4 up.Hope it doesn´t come back to bite us.

Very good first half. Only complaints is the scoreline. Should be well ahead.

Post by: WindyCity on January 17, 2020, 08:37:30 PM
Nice first half, but really concerned that FFC couldn't score that second or third goal.  Onomah blew a clear header and Cav missed a sitter.  Might come back to haunt.  Overall, well played first half for FFC, just unable to score another......
Title: Re: Fulham Vs Middlesbrough, Friday 17 January 2020, 3:00pm

Best first 25 minutes this season.

But we need that second goal!

Post by: Bassey the warrior on January 17, 2020, 08:40:03 PM
Outstanding half but we should be further ahead. Onomah had to score with the header. Boro will surely close us down more in the second half and they've carved a few chances.

Fingers crossed we get the second and keep up the great approach play.

some of our play was a bit like the Millwall game early in the season. We should be out of sight by now.
Boro to come back in 2nd half :(

The next goal is the most important, goals change games, we could do with another, sooner rather than later.

Disagree.    I saw players competing for a full 90 minutes.   Boro was chasing the game.

Not sure how anyone comes to the second half performance being poor.
