Craven Cottage
BBC predictions are 0-3 (Chris Sutton) and 0-4 (Alistair Bruce-Ball). I suspect no one predicts us to get a point. Come on, Fulham, prove them all wrong.

Was that BT Sport throwing shade on TK and Ali Mac!?
We are going to get lit up, I think. Could be 1-10 game or something crazy. Don't care though. We'll be fine come the end of May. Let's have some patience and faith folks! Don't be d*cks... that should be Fulham fan's mantra for the season.

Come on Fulham
We're off...Come on lads get into this mob,they ain't immortal.
Missed chance already!
ALmost! Great start!!!
Fulham has started well. Liverpool is in neutral though.
GJ stream down already, welcome to the FFCTV circus!!
Great cross in!!!
Anybody else lost the GJ commentary? Thx
Fulham are playing with some conviction.
GJ back
We are playing well
COYW
Fulham bossing the first 10 minutes.
Like watching the tiki taka.... amazing!
We are pegging them back; now for a chance on goal.
Anyone else finding GJ very intermittent? 15 seconds on, a minute off...
crap

Deffo yellow. Adrenaline!
Tete better watch it.
Klopp is shaking his head on the sideline. Can't be happy with Liverpool's intensity. It's like they are in neutral.
Kenny needs to calm down.
Tete has to be careful

No problem Holders
Thats 25% of the game gone .Keep it going Fulham
We're giving them a game. Competing with the best. Augers well for the rest of the season if we can keep this up fo 90 mins.
Andreas Pereira needs to learn to find Mitro.
Nontheless, our strength is in the midfield.
Ream thought he was defending instead of attacking there! Great ball from Pereira
Great ball from Andreas. He looks really lively. Playing like he has a point to prove.
Nothing wrong with that from Paulinha. BT commentators already irritating me.
Paulinha an absolute rock.
Sounds like we are playing well!
Rodak's rocket to Andreas!
Rodak quick release to Periera. Never saw one of those last season. More please.
Rodak doing OK
Mayhem in their box!!
We really are playing very well. The 2 new Boys look great
Yeeeeeeees
Mitrovic!!!
He's on 🔥 . Again.
Be fair - we're having a go!
Ooh la la ! Sexy football!
Bloody Var looking at it
he can't score in the Premiership! oh wait... 049:gif
Dreaming
UNBELIEVABLE!!! COYW!!!!
Come on you Super Whites!!!!!
Mitro!!!!!!!!
Fantastic. Who says Mitro can't score goals in the Prem?
4 more y halftime and I can relax! 😇
Now I Suppose VAR will try to rule it out!
Yesss. Goal confirmed.
Maybe our year, Liverpool will complain about VAR decision.
MITRO!! What a cross and a brilliant header from Mitro 049:gif
Palhinha is a beast. He's destroying everything. Great attitude.
Must not relax now - job not done.
They've hit the bar, whew I'm getting nervous. 5 mins to go.
Nobody is going to remember the bar... on with the game:D
Half time changes games. Let's hope it's in our favour!
Football isn't healthy. It's only first half of the first game of the season and I'm already a wreck.
Self hand-ball.... they can't focus, we are too dazzling!
I suppose we should start thinking about Champions League now that we are 2nd in the table? :D
Ream has had Salah in his pocket so far. 049:gif
Impressive half - not overly intimidated first half.
Well done Fulham!!

Really Robinson, but Ream has been solid.
Fantastic first half. Going to be a long 45 mins!
Brilliant atmosphere in the Hammy end.
Loving the Talksport commentary.
Genuinely shocked how good we've been, outstanding performance. It all stems from winning the midfirld battle, Palhinha looks World class. Reed is playing better in that box to box role than I've ever seen him play.

Absolutely loved that display from the team. If the performance level is the same in the second half we can't ask for much better win, lose or draw.
Liverpool will certainly be coming out all guns blazing, they will be quite embarressed at the moment
What a first half. I think everyone of us would have bitten the hand off anyone offering 1 up at halftime. Palhinha has been a beast and pereira hasn't stopped running
Quote from: Twig on August 06, 2022, 01:21:38 PM
Loving the Talksport commentary.
Me too, shame GJ commentary was up and down and also non existent, will stay on the Talksport channel for the 2nd half.
CAPTAIN REAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!
Really rooting for him, Tosin and Rodak to keep a clean sheet today and stuff it down all our throats!
We win or draw the second half we win the game.
Not many people know that.

Ream and Robinson have shut down that side. Bit worrying on the right, Tete getting a bit isolated and on a yellow.
Pahlinha is such a tank as well.

Sent my wife to Tesco during half time, hope she rushes back!
Early days but we dont look like a team battling to stay up. Palhinha is a monster!
We've looked brilliant. Huge difference from two seasons ago when Arsenal slaughtered us on opening day. High tempo, physical and ambitious - what a difference it makes having a proper manager with a plan.

LOL, I did! Not sure I like a 12.30 kick off, 1 bottle of wine consumed already! The Gordons can wait until later.
Klopp will be at them now,they'll storm us from start
of second half,hold them for 15 mins,then grab a second.
Job done.
Gotta say much maligned Robinson has also been very good.
The teams been great to a man, the intensity and effort has been brilliant across the board and thats created much more cover for the defence.
Liverpool can create danger at any time so a long 45 mins ahead, but kinda glad knowing were not about to park the bus like we would under Parker...were taking it right to Liverpool and attacking them and I LOVE it
We have to keep bullying them into submission.
BT sport spending more time talking about a nothing foul in the build up to our goal than anything else

Hmmm, I think that would be prudent.
We are playing narrow and for the most part Liverpool have walked right into the trap. They will get smarter, go wider and bring on fresh legs. We probably need to score again to get anything from this, there's every reason to think we can do exactly that.
Robinson >>> Alexander-Arnold!
If there's a criticism it's that we're not defending our right flank very well, one of these times Diaz will score. Also need to close down TAA, one of the best crossers in the world for me.

Oh go on then. But just a small one.
2nd half starting like the first. My, my. my.
Elliot called
Thanks, I assume small = 1/2 a normal 1??
Liverpool making 2 substitutions. Firmino off for Nunez. Elliot on for Thiago.
How much better does our defence look now they're not playing Parker ball in our own penalty area?

Mitrovic, the dribbling tank!
Kebano, BAR!!
Kebano off the post. What is going on?
Oooh...... Kebano
Lovely skill from BDR 👏
Yeah BDR, fun to watch... Andreas needs to learn the trick from him... haha
Rodak worth his place today. Having a good game.
Palhinha...What a player.
Will we make subs now.
Damn
Damn
Why was Salah not marked!!!
Game on
We would have settled for 1-1 after 62 minutes before the game, but now we will be under extreme pressure.
Solo goal, man.... come on.
Weve as much chance of winning as they have. Keep attacking lads
It was great while lasted.
Kebano effort went in,it would have been game over.
Robinson still handling Salah. Nunez just about got a 2nd goal.
Nunez looks a really good for them. Changed the game.
We can't sit back. We need to get on the front foot and try and push them back.
Subs now?
Rodak is on form.
PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!
Pen yesss
Clear penalty
Penalty!!
Well played by Mitro... whatever happens.
Come on Mitro!!!
VAR given!
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁
Yeeeeeeees
GET IN!!! Poor old Liverpool no favoured decisions for them today......so far?
Mitro - you star - what pressure on the big man, but he did it!!!!!
Come on you Whites -see this out.
Massive goal. Given us an edge going into the last 15 mins plus of the game.
Am I in dream land?
Running out of tonic (lol)
Come on Mitro let's have a hat-trick. 🥳

Do we know enough about Fabio to keep him quiet?
Please not Carvalho. Assist from Elliott and goal from Carv?
Manor Solomon has some skill!
Bugger

You nearly got your answer straight away = No.
Tosin needs to calling for that.
Quelle surpris!!
Poor goal to concede. Very soft. Should have been cleared.
Well, looking forward to a hat trick from Mitro then.
🙈
Soft goal. Tosin should have done better
Unfortunate goal.
They'll nab this now...Our luck.
Damn, just damn.
A draw would be a good result for us if that happens
2-2 but only 8 mins to go?
Still in this. Let's not get pushed back.
Tired legs, surely someone to freshen it up, oh no me have a thread bare bench.
Boys have played out there skins

Mitro has been phenomenal today
Won some crucial free kicks, along side his two goals.
Cairney? Hoping to hold possession.
Mitro - leading goal scorer to date?
Might as well bring Mbabu on too to eat up as much time as possible
5 minutes extra time. Ugh.
5min added
5 mins added
Enough time for Mitro to get his hattrick.... he still is looking alive & salivating.
5 mins seems quite a lot?
Whatever happens Mitro MoM for me.
Not seen anything from Solomon yet
Just 7 more home goals to equal last season in the Prem
With all the worries about getting thrashed on the Forum we looked pretty good today. I think their 2nd goal was a tad soft but we did far better than most (including me) would have expected.
Yes Fulham!! Much deserved hard fought point!
Very proud of you Fulham
Quote from: LittleErn on August 06, 2022, 02:22:43 PM

He showed some skill. He's a lot more technical than Kebano.
Fantastic result fantastic performance. This is a squad!
Bonus point, well played Fulham!! Time for a celebratory drink, have a good weekend fellow forum members
Really good point and performance. Delighted with that. That point could prove to be crucial at the end of the season.
Brilliant from Fulham,
A couple of lapses...mostly from Tosin tbh. Bloody proud of them team today they fought hard.
Now we know we have the ability to compete with the best of them - a couple of quality signings and we have a great shot of staying up.
COYW!!
Cracking result. To think we could almost consider ourselves unlucky to not walk away with all 3 points. Amazing effort from the team, feeling very proud
Toxin andReamwill do for me if they play like this ?
Proud of the team.
We literally contributed to both their goals. Tosin and Ream can both be better...but I say that knowing that the only mistake the two made today were those two goals.
Proud of the boys.
Well played Fulham.
Very proud, what a performance.
If we can play like that all season its going to be a good one

Celebratory drink? I thought you'd already had them!
In Silva we trust!
Great performance. Right from the first whistle they were up for the fight. Did not let up for 90 mins. Yeah would have been nice to win but I will take that performance every day. Palhinha looks like a beast. Perriera showed a lot . A few stray passes but he is still getting used to our system.
Nice little cameo form Solomon.
What a shift from Mitro.
We will be just fine this season.
Mitro was dribbling like Salah today, the man looked the complete package. What a wonderful performance and great way to start the season.
