Let's go 049:gif
Evening all, we sound really up for tonights match, COYW!
We are going to win. Feeling good.
Playing well so far. The standard of goalkeeping in this division is incredible.
The game feels very open. Has me a bit nervous.
We're playing very well, but have already wasted several good opportunities. Hopefully it won't come back to bite us. So far by far the better team.

Agree, we need to score while we are on top.
The ref won't do us any favours I feel...

Don't see why not, we're the home team and Brighton aren't one of the much vaunted top six.
Build up is too slow, then we lump it forward when nothing opens up

Not sure why, we have had 2 penalties this season already, think we are getting a fair deal so far unlike the last time(s) we were in the PL

Because he has already waved away at least three free kicks that we should have had... based on this game, not on any conspiracy.
i can see them scoring
We need to score, Brighton will improve, they are 4th in the league for a reason.
Boring game thusfar
They're really growing into this. We need to regain some control.

See a professional footballer playing that pass BDR just played..... should be fined
Losing control!!!
Brighton getting into this game now.
Meanwhile it did not take Muniz long to make his msrk.
On 17th minute Potter changed to 4 at back. We have not been in this match after that. Let's see if Silva & co can find counter measures during half-time...
Need to get a get a foot on the ball
Quote from: Twig on August 30, 2022, 08:14:29 PM
Brighton getting into this game now.
Agree, and that is because we let them off the hock on so many occasions. They are a good team, and since they survived the first 25-30 when we were all over them, they have managed to regroup.
We're still going to win. We look comfortable playing with Brighton.
This is shite.Bad movement.Players don't know to come closer to the player with ball,to be free without a guard.

That extra bit of quality on the wings is missing. BDR having a poor game so far offensively.
Started the game well until Potter changed tactics, and now can barely get out of our half. A tremendously boring game so far.
We look very tired. Badly need some reinforcements in asap
Brighton are looking mediocre upfront but at the same time we're really struggling to breakthrough their midfield.
Our offensive build up game is very predictable.
Well, I feel we cannot go very far with BDR and Kebano starting in the wings. We need more personnel that's for sure.
The one thing I hated to see this half is Mitro not getting served. That's a problem for us as we can be very one dimensional in attack.

yeah, a whole lot a meh...
Poor game so far
Imagine how good we'll be with that added quality from tricky attacking players that can take people on.
Kluivert/Willian/Solomon/Wilson... seems well soon have lots of quality waiting in the wings to join the party. We look very comfortable tonight. Potters adjustment to 4 at the back really paid off, well spotted that we were murdering them out wide early on. Made the adjustment and it worked and nullified us. Time for Silva to make some adjustments himself now at half time and see if we can unlock them.
Thought Mitro played well but should have put in Kebano at one point rather than the lame shot he ended up forcing. Can hardly blame him though in his form.
Cairney could also play a key role later in this one. A very winnable game
Muniz has scored for Boro
Quote from: Grassy Noel on August 30, 2022, 08:15:24 PM

Great start for him - 4 minutes into his debut and pops up with a goal.
Really hoping he has a killer season for Boro and comes back full of confidence ready to step up next year!
Quote from: Nero on August 30, 2022, 08:29:19 PM
Muniz has scored for Boro
Where have you been, that was ages ago (lol)
They're bossing the midfield. Not sure we have anyone who could make a difference. I'll be happy with a draw and ecstatic with a win.

Muniz goal
How very Mitro of him
At last!!!!
Yesss! Is he onside though??
Edit: yes, very onside!!
We can't be stopped.
GOAL 1-0. No prizes for guessing who.
And who scored, not that man again, well done Mitro!!
yes
Chelsea losing, could be a great night!
Quote from: Wingnut on August 30, 2022, 08:35:30 PM
GOAL 1-0. No prizes for guessing who.
But can he do it in the premier league
At the moment we are 5th in the table
I'm certainly not complaining but Reid looked offside...

But he didnt make a move towards the ball so it doesnt count, them the rules
Long time to go in this one. Think we need 1 more, Brighton will have a spell at some point.
Great goal. 😁 If Pereira finds his touch we now have every chance.
We win the second half we win the game.
Where would we be without our one man goal machine?
Yes!!!
You are joking 2 nil, where did that come from
2-0. That's a gift. In the driving seat now.
even funnier when u get own goals
Oh yessssss
If we keep playing like this we'll get Champions League.
YESSSSS 2-0

Need 2 good spells now
thanks dunk 2-0
Knew Dunk always wanted to play for Fulham
Slam Dunk
Ridiculous if that is a penalty...
Never a pen
Even Pereira's Miskicksget us goals!
Clearing the ball and just jumps in front of his leg
Damn!!!!
Dam a penalty
Lenos time to step up
Oh no. Not a Pen.
What a proper cheat
their player deliberately sticks his leg in front of BDR who isnt even looking and is going down before he even gets hit... what a wet decision.
Horrible decision. Told you about the ref.
Unfortunate, but still ahead and look the better side. Fortuitous for Brighton.
Quote from: Sting of the North on August 30, 2022, 08:47:08 PM
Horrible decision. Told you about the ref.
VAR upheld it though.
Let's get 3!
Ref is a melt
Thought it was a pen he kicked thru the lad trying to get the ball, he didnt even need to as he wasnt getting or controlling the ball
Doh!
So now every time an attacker jumps in front of a defending player from their blindside clearing a ball it's a pen?

Has been that way since VAR came in
Dammit we can't cope after scoring every time.
And what a sitter Kebano missed.

Apology accepted!!
Is it just me, or do all commentary teams support the opposition? Savage is a joke here tonight.

Think GJ supports us
That's an absolute travesty of a penalty decision. Their player just stuck his leg back in front of Bobby as he was about the clear. There was no intent to do anything but impede Bobby. WTH???
Different challenge now with their subs. We really don't have any options t respond with. Attack is the best form of defence.

Agreed. Never a penalty. What a ridiculous decision.
I can see this season going the same way as two years ago in terms of us never getting the rub of the green from PL refs
Time for Tom I think.
Can not wait for the new wingers!
No disrespect to BDR or Kebano, theyre playing thier hearts out, but just that little bit extra quality and composure would be immense
Quote from: love4ffc on August 30, 2022, 08:57:38 PM
Time for Tom I think.
Maybe. Pereira is having an off day.
Got to make some subs
Leno easily deserves his place on tonight's performance.
Really hope Silva doesnt go with Diop and Mbabu again and sit back
Mbabu for BDR maybe but not for Tete
BDR and Kebano hard workers but just not prem starters
Think how good we will be with a fit Wilson and Solomon! Come onnnnn.....
BTW
Ream Tete and Robinson have been brilliant yet again. Tosin not been terrible but such admiration for the way Ream has stepped up the last 2 years.
We have to stay on the offensive and keep the ball in their half, time for some good game management.

No they aren't but the best we have available at the moment and they have been doing ok!
The understanding between our back four is so good
Can we hold on? This is the dangerous period for us. Lack of replacements must sap our energy b
We got this.
Now Jay on for Kebano please
TC on

No idea why Tosin is excluded from this one. No one gets past him today so far.
🫣
This is a right dodgy ref.
We need to retain more possession.
Appalling ref
That was so offside.
That was a couple of yards offside. The ref really is poor.
Quote from: ron on August 30, 2022, 09:12:13 PM

Think you are being proved right, probably give them a penalty!

Cheers, I was going to find a pub to watch it but last minute change, that's working okay for me, ✌️
How much stoppage time?
6
And where did 6 minutes come from?
6min

Refs lost control.

Cairney lack of game time showed in that chance. He had time to control it.
Ridiculous officiating. Absolute embarrassment to the league.
GET IN!
My god how the refieree tried it but we got there int he end!
Well worthy of the win
UP THE FULHAM!
Great win, no thanks to that idiot ref!!
Yes!!!!!
Well done lads.
Beautiful shithousing at the end.
We got 8 points !!!!

100% agree
Apart from a c**p apprentice referee, the lino failing to spot that offside rates as the worst decision I have ever seen.
Why, even Robbie Savage on commentary dropped his Brighton scarf when he saw it.

And we'll done Silva!👏👏👏
What an absolute shitshow of a ref, really. Can't believe the Premier League is bringing the bar so low. 8 mins injury time, that obscene offside not whistled, a very dodgy pen...
Still got the 3 points. Get in there!
Love this team and manager
Brighton manager very magnanimous in defeat. Says Fulham deserved the win.

In fairness (i) those pen's will always be given, and(ii) the offside was the ass ref and not the refs fault...but yes, he was generally poor.
