and as usual watching sky it sounds like we aren't playing today. must just be man utd

United's bench is worse than ours! Something in this ge for us

I'm really hoping Vinicius proves himself today. We really need him to bang a goal in
Hopefully TC puts in a good shift for 90 mins and starts more games.
Come on Fulham 049:gif
This ref giving nothing to us already
pereira looks like hes trying too hard
good start
You beat me to it. Is the ref going to allow manure to clatter our lads the whole game.
And again
the rules change when man utd commit fouls
cut us open then. Great block by Diop
good grafting from pereira
saved phew
looks like their plan is to kick it over the back 4
Bummer... and the teams below are picking up points....
oh dear
cairney caught in possession and then punished
Cairney lost it there
Bugger
oh dear, so open.
poo
TC is not a 90 minutes player anymore. Oh well. Let's come back.
We need to think about bringing in a new CF in Jan. When Mitro is out we really struggle up front
BDR getting too far forward for me. leaves gaps
Holding his head , really?
God I hate Bruno Fernandes

Cairney lost it there
in his defence it was on the half way line with half his team behind him. ive seen pereira give the ball away a few times and weve not been punished. just tc's bad luck. trust man u to be up for this and not turn a villa like performance in.

lol how do you work that out? its only been 20 mins.
rashford acting again
offside but not given
strange that.
wish harry could get on his game
I'm sorry but the BDR at RB experiment just hasnt worked. I dont know why Silva persists with it. Surely Mbabu in his natural position cant be worse.
Where is Reed today.???

When opposition has the legs and strength, he shows his weaknesses. He is great for 30 mins especially if we are controlling the game.
Our new Portuguese warrior is an absolute monster.
normally i get excited when we are about to cross the ball in the box, but with mitro missing its not the same.
Palhina tackling is fantastic
i do wish willian would have a shot

so hes lost the ball once on the half way line and you come to that conclusion.
Vini is doing alright you know
Vinicius looks good

Wilson looking hungry
lol if nevilles can play for england so can i
Ream's lack of pace getting exposed again
wide open game at both ends unfortunately they've got some finishers.
we need to make one of these openings count.
We are really missing Mitro
We are the better team, pity that doesn't always mean a win
Quote from: bigalffc on November 13, 2022, 05:08:29 PM

Yep, I think it will come down to who has the better finishers. My money is on them, but we're well in it.
With a full team we would have won this comfortably.
Mitro would have been on the end of at least three crosses so far
Quote from: Fernhurst on November 13, 2022, 05:12:30 PM

or even a specialist right back
This ref!!!
let off!
Ref is a disgrace, favoured them about 5 times.
Cant see us scoring unless its from a set play. Playing such a high line defensively, with BDR playing out of position and getting exposed, and Ream having zero pace, is asking for it.
We've done ok overall, build up play has been nice to watch, we just dont look like scoring, and have looked like conceding when they attack...
Crowd is absolutely dead
We 're playing so well, the better team, but no cutting edge, while they always look dangerous on the break.
COYW!!!!
we're really quite cursed by having Mitro arent we. Without him we look toothless but which striker worth their salt is going to come to us to play understudy. Really frustrating but at least it's still only 1-0 I guess, plenty of chance to get back into this
Vinicius is looking less effective as the game goes on. He's not a natural finisher. Arr there any changes we could make?

We need 2 Mitros. There must be someone out there.

Still no clue what the announcer is saying at half time.
Looks like an even game but as others have said, the difference could well be the finishing.
Still. We're matching them so far, and this is a decent United side.
Vinícius had just nine touches in the first half.
Yeah thats a big problem
A bit shaky defensively, but otherwise a very good performance. With Tete and Mitro we'd be 2-0 up at least.

TRUE!
We look pretty toothless.
Some questions about Harry Wilson's ability in this league for me.
Attacking well but we need to drop off a few yards in defence, that line is too high. We will get battered if we continue to defend this way.

Only 1 winner today apart from the ref who will make sure that it won't be us. Vinicius is rubbish (sorry), need to send him out on loan like Muniz just to confirm that he isn't good enoiugh to play in the Championship either!
I think we are doing ok. Certainly miss Mitro. I also think the ref is fair. We need a quick equalizer, but not sure where it's coming from
Villa defender Matty Cash on his role under Emery: "We've worked on one full-back going, one staying. He doesn't want us to go too often because we've got attacking quality. We need to be more stable.
This is exactly the problem we're also having we cant have both fullbacks going forward, there just isnt enough cover. Especially when BDR is playing out of position and getting caught out even when he is back
Vinicius is trying hard but struggles to inhabit the Mitro role- I think he is a decent player, but needs confidence, and to get used to the team.
Wish Tom had a right foot there!
So many let offs, jesus
Defence is all over the place
If Mitro gets injured for any significant period of time in the second half of the season, we're going to be in huge trouble.
In Jan we have to buy a quality CM and another goal threat
so close Ream
Oh ream nearly a deserved goal
De Gea is keeping them in the game.
Where's the sh#t De Gea that turns up most weeks then?
Wilson has been rubbish since coming back from injury
Oh no please no

Much needed confidence for James. We'll done!
Not sure why he didn't celebrate? Was he some sort of united legend?
So pleased for Dan after the stick he's taken - knew he was good player.
Keep it going Fulham, give us another.

I'm still not sure he's a "good player" but he was quick enough to get himself n the right place and tuck it away
Palhinha is such a beast
Diop has been excellent again
We are bloody good
Bloody head again, get him off
did bdr drape a fag paper across rashfords head?
We need a hero.
Big opportunity here. Let's not settle for the point.
Come on Vini
Time for Vinicius to stand up
close ream then james scuffed it
oh my

If the ref stops the game for a head injury the physio should be called on automatically and the player goes off. Too much opportunity to waste time.

Nice that Casemiro gets to play with his idol Palhinha.

Another Fernandes dive. Something needs to be done about this tw#t.
Oh-No ma...

poo poo poo!
Gutted. Worked so hard. That threat in behind was always there though. Perhaps we should have shut up shop for a point. Too open at the back. Great effort though.
Absolutely gutted. Last minute again.
We were looking tired. He has to sort out the defence. Down BDR's side again. Please not again
Why don't we just forget the 90 mins and have the extra time and let the opposition score to win?
Oh , and have the Man U commentary team crowing over the brilliant goal?
Painful
Do we ever get a bloody break in injury time.
I feel sick

Comes on, immediately pushed high up the field, ball played aorund him, fine, but jogs back- I'm screaming get back at him.... low and behold -had he got a run on he might have been back in time to put pressure on the player who plays in the scorer.
Gutting, played admirably all game, another day and with Mitro up front we win that one.
Oh well, hope Mitro comes back unscathed.
Mitro for Vinicius and we would have won.

That is hard to take, we deserved a point. Can't help but feel that if Tete was playing it ends 1-1.

But don't blame BDR. He has been played out of position and has performed well. His many forays up the pitch must have sapped his pace at the end.

That's why you bring on Oh-No Ma to give him a hand...
Reluctantly I blame Marco. Sorry but with a couple of minutes to go he takes off TC and brings on JO. The ref adds a few seconds, we get out of shape and Onomah fails to do his defensive duties. In my opinion it was not a wise substitution.

There seems to be about football fans in general that they always seem to look for a scape goat. TC was out on his feet, the whole team for the last ten minutes were sloppy, they had given everything. Why can't it just be that an individual bit of quality undone our defence? I've seen other posts bashing BDR saying why aren't we playing Mbabu, when the only time we've seen him play he has been taken apart. You can't win with the fans, some of them anyway.
I was absolutely FUMING when that goal went in. My Mrs told my kids to avoid me for a short while lol. However when the dust settled I can appreciate we pushed one of the elite teams in England to the brink. So many great performances and certainly I don't feel like you can blame Marco.

Somehow, that felt even worse than the City loss.
For the life of me, I don't understand the Onomah substitution. There was little more than a minute left and it upset our rhythm.
