Again the guy comes on and makes things happen. I like this player. He doesn't always play well but he does always try his best.
Awful player and very much part of the problem. Zero football intelligence and severely limited ability. How he is still at the club and around the first team is mind boggling.

Great assist yesterday. You're the one with zero football intelligence
He's a sub at best when the opposition are tired. From the start, he is nowhere near as effective.

damn, if you think ak is awful, you must hate the likes of cav, bobby and knockaert who did sod all yesterday, again
I think that is his niche. I don't think he plays well on the wing ie being expected to has chalk on his boots, but his out to in runs and his pace can cause issues, even if he isn't the best once he has the ball.
PS I still think we should have sold him, but will admit he's serving a role that can be beneficial.

Cav did sod all yesterday? Must have seen a different game.
Kamara does not have a football brain and to give him credit for his assist is very marginal. At least he did not attempt to beat someone and shoot like Knock would probably have done but his cross was very average and was only converted by the class of Mitro..
Apart from that I can only remember one dribble into the area.
Funny thought he did well last night when he came on, played more of a team player instead of his usual head down on his own mindset.
Still think he is better from the bench.
AK is the most dynamic forward we have
But even he plays this season as if he has been shackled by the SP "sensible no lose possession way"
He rarely takes on defenders when wide, choosing to play the simple square pass across the penalty area
Put him up top with Mitro and play a 3-2-3-2
He is not an awful player as you do not get to this level being awful. He has speed and is big and causes a problems to defenders. If you want to change things around you need players to do things differently

Some hard taskmasters on this messageboard.
Kamara is a great sub and usually gives his all. OK, maybe that does not make him essential to our future, but he's in the squad and is often as good as his compatriots in the striking role.

Kamara has pace, strength and enthusiasm, qualities that Parker should be able to put to good use.
Ok he could do with better ball control and football sense but if he had those qualities as well he would be playing in the Premier League.
I have questioned Kamara's football intelligence in the past, but he looks more mature this season.
Still think that he's more suitable in a front 2 with Mitrovic, rather than as a winger.

It takes all types to make up a team/squad, Kamara has his strengths as well as his shortcomings, as we all have. Fulham just need to utilise his strengths to their best advantage.
I remember one backwards ball to Odoi that didn't make much sense at the time.
Otherwise I thought he was a threat actually. Retained possession on the edge of the penalty, sets up Mitro for the goal and nearly had a second assist for Cav at the end?
If I knew nothing about football and someone told me we had a brain-dead forward on the pitch after the game yesterday, I'd assume they were talking about Knockaert.

We are not making enough chances. Square, sideways and back passing around the penalty area doesn't cut it. Need Kamara and Mitro up front and no more tip tapping passes. Forwards needs to run at defenders not pass sideways..

Amazing how different people can see a game so differently. The goal assist was in the box in and around Mitro. That is what this team has been lacking for a month, save Bryan.
Nobody has even mentioned the chance Cav had at the edge of the area, created by AK as well.
No mention of Neeskens ... surely the most hard done player we have in the squad. Miles better than AK and a number of others in my view. But not a Scotty boy so bound to be sold for someone who operates in a sideways trajectory.
I like Kebano, and I feel he has been given a raw deal.

do you mean the brillaint chance with no obstacle to htting the target that cav managed to hit over the crossbar?
I think cav is a waste of space but not sure f that is him or parker's fault. knoc is a brilliant footballer and cannot understand why he is currently so ineffective, again is that parker?
AK? He is jeykll and hyde. the cross for mitro was brilliant after a third rate effort by cav was deflected away, when mitro was absent, ak played the central forward rle very well... in usual circumstances I would say he is way to hit and miss but you cannot fault his enthusiasm.

Maybe Knockaert's so ineffective because he's as much of 'a waste of space' as Cavaleiro (and any negative impact that Parker may be having is being had equally on both). Perhaps Knockaert's not the brilliant player you think and Cavaleiro's not useless.

Agreed WM. I have always liked AK even when he was catching stick in this forum. Wasn't happy with some of his on and off pitch problems, but he does put in a solid shift and has some speed and strength. Mostly a vertical player, lacks passing, dribbling skills, etc but can be a dangerous player. Filled in pretty good for Mitro when Mitro was sidelined.
What AK is a right foot player playing on the right wing and crosses and makes thinks happen knock is a left footed player player on the right wing and cuts in and makes f all happen. We have a brute of a centre forward who doesnt get the ball with player cutting inside

not sure he is waste of space but definitely inconsistent, I've seen him have fantastic games for us. Mainly when he plays down the right though and gets lots of crosses in.
I admire the way Kamara has turned his career around. I don´t think he can be a starter but he is one hell of a super sub.
I have always liked AK and he should be starting up front with Mitro. He is strong, has pace and always gives 100%

Did he have zero football intelligence when he deputised for Mitro at home to QPR and scored both goals with clinical finishes in a 2-1 win. And that was not an isolated incident as proven by his assist for Reid's first goal for the club and another assist last night.
I would argue zero intelligence is not how it is

Well said.
Knock made a couple of bad errors, though trying hard as usual - but he dribbled into trouble, nearly costing us a goal, and on another occasion slackly hit a pass to Cav, who was in a great scoring position, but the seemingly simple to execute pass was way off.
He is brilliant, but definitely inconsistent, and has a propensity to try and dribble his way out of trouble in defensive areas, and then losing the ball.

Great cross from Kamara this evening but doesn't change my opinion of him. Happy to recognise a decent bit of play and pleased for him and the team.
Thought we were devoid of ideas 2nd half but somehow got the result. Would love to think that this might be a turning point but still not convinced.
If I had to single out weaker performances I would say Arter very lucky to be playing ahead of McDon ald.

I can understand these types of comments to an extent given that Kamara did appear to be somewhat of a headless chicken upon arrival, but even then it was apparent his pace and strength frightened the life out of defenders. He now appears to have got his head screwed on and is much better at his decision making; in stark contrast to Knockaert who still seems to always opt for cutting inside and shooting.
Great cross by AK for the goal last night - and really nice to see mitro and ak embrace after the final whistle.
Last 2 goals, crosses from AK, goals from Mitro, what's wrong with that? Just give him and Kebano more time please Scott.

My English Teacher once told me that the word Necroing is defined as " digging up a dead thread in a forum ".
If AK had a brain he'd be playing for someone a lot better than us. We should be appreciative of the skills he offers us that the rest dont.
AK's crossing has been pretty good. On the one occasion this season Mitro couldn't play, he did well up front. He brings bags of strength, speed and urgency and he has the knack of cheering me up when he comes on. Nothing short of a nightmare to mark. He's done all that through hard work, which given he started life one of twenty children suggests he's not lacking in intelligence. Football is a game of relentless mistake making. In the final third you want people doing high risk high reward stuff that often goes wrong. He is so positive in his efforts and delivers so much that is game-changing.

You can't teach pace. He's the fastest attacker we have, and any of our other attackers would have gotten caught on today's counter where he scored. Until they spend more money on a player with a better brain, that has the same amount of pace, I'm super happy having AK47 as an impact sub and as our #1 backup striker.
(props to Cav for throwing it into a higher gear to keep up with Kamara on the counter btw)
"Props" means 'proper respect and recognition'.

I know we are meant to be a nice club, but the interplay between Kamara and Cavaleiro was politeness personified. "After you Cecil"," No after you Claude!"
Who cares. It went in and we won.
Cav may have missed.

Think that's harsh Reid had a good effort saved well in the first half... cav on our break away goal was in the perfect place to score and at one point came inside and took a shot from a position he's scored from before, only for his standing foot to slip away from him due to the wet pitch.. Knockaert is the weakest out of the three, but he's better on his natural side simply.
