Amex Stadium
Brighton are a good side, but I have a good feeling today,

COYW!!! 049:gif
Early & often!! 049:gif
There young striker Ferguson is good, I've seen him play a few times this season
Leno needs to be on top form today.
Brighton is not gonna stand around...
Brighton are a good side
Have BDR, Willian or Pereira touched the ball yet?
Not playing with a striker feels like an error
Getting completely outplayed at the moment
Forest with 12% of the possession so far against City.
my stream is stopping and starting but the few chances weve had have been let down by poor final balls. coming into it a bit now.
They look the better team so far
More positive
Creating chances

Haven't heard that we have had any chances yet? Our front 3 have only touched the ball a few times, believe BDR yet to touch the ball?
BDR finally touches the ball!
pereiras crap pass when was it wilson was in the middle?
Sky saying Tete is having a tough time?
Robinson is truly rancid on the ball most times
Nothing up top to try and hold the ball up. I hope to god this is a Marco master plan

Wilson is giving him zero help so its 1 on 2 down that side most of the time
so painful to watch
What's wrong with robinson?
Marco has got the tactics all wrong for this one. I get what he wanted to do with the false 9, trying to pressure their defence high and create turnovers of possession, however we only did that for literally the first 2 minutes and during that time they beat our press easily twice.
He's got to take Wilson off for Vinicius and move BRD right to help Tete.
Reed needs to stay central in his position and stop wandering off to the right as its leaving chasms of room in midfield
Damn this is awful
My goodness I am yet to see Robinson to pass the ball to a lad in black. He is absolutely diabolical.

It would be a huge call from him to change his system so soon. I suspect he will wait a while yet.
Its a matter of time before they score. We're not in the game at all. He has to change something.
Reed has to stop wandering off from CM and leaving huge gaps
This is very poor Fulham, 10 of our 1st 11 eleven playing, not having Mitro should not have made that much difference.
Diop is playing well!
As is Ream
Diop, Ream and Leno are the only players performing higher than 4/10 in this half. Brighton look miles better than us
Walham Green 0 Saints 1.
Ward Prowse 30 yd free kick screamer.
Go Saints!

LOL, LOL!!
Reed managed to fail to kick the ball out of play...
I can't see Fulham scoring a goal... 086.gif
Well that was dismal. The front five are so light weight. Thank God for our center backs who seem to be the only ones that came to play.
Have we touched the ball in their box as yet?
Showing highlights... What, nothing from Fulham?? :dft011:
By far our worst half this season. Leno + defence (apart from Robinson) have been excellent, everyone else very very poor. Robinson with probably his worst game in his Fulham career,I'd maybe swap him with Cedric or Kurzawa at half time. Vinicius needs to come on, we have no presence up top, BDR just isn't offering enough atm.
HT thoughts: Brighton look an excellent side and should be ahead. Their midfield is completely dominating the game. Leno, Ream and Diop doing well, no-one else is.
We are offering absolutely nothing going forward. We need Vinicius up top to at least give us an out ball. The way we play tactically requires a number 9.
Wilson is giving Tete no protection, and he's struggling against the Mitoma and Estupinan combo. BDR needs to move out to the right.
Reed is CONSTANTLY out of position and leaving huge holes in CM. He needs to stay in position.
Robinson lost the ball about 30 times in that half
I've been very impressed with Brighton's patterns of play though. Their interplay is very good
Can't see us scoring, and they won't feel they need to push on, because they'll feel they will get a good chance or two.
Maybe we try and hold as we are until the last 15, then stick on Vini and Solomon to see if we can get something.
A point would be a great result, even if we barely threaten and the play is poor.
Potter to be sacked tonight if things stay as they are.
Brighton have a good team,but we are making them look way better than what they are.Have to make some changes up top.
Hoping for a good old fashioned smash & grab.
Think it's pretty clear Marco must make changes. Not sure if our forward line up is ineffective or whether we are losing it in midfield?
Zero shots and nothing that resembled an attacking threat. Let's see what changes Marco makes at the half.

They have an extra player in CM and also Reed is never there, so its basically 2 players. They've constantly bypassed the press and its been Palhinha against 3 players
No changes in personnel at this stage just a bollocking needed and a big change of attitude in the 2nd half. COYW!!!
Couldn't score in a brothel right now; deffo some changes needed.

Feels like a little of both to me.
Reed's being wide right all the time has to be at Silva's direction. If he didn't want Reed there he would tell him.
I can't see us holding out for another 45 minutes but this could be an opportunity for James to keep them honest if its still no score in the last 20 mins. To be honest, our only real hope of scoring looks like being a beakaway goal. Maybe Silva has a cunning plan.

He'll win some headers from long balls from Leno. Even if he wins 1 in 5 it would be better than what is happening now with BDR.
I cannot believe that he's not made a change.....
hopefully that conversation he had with Reed was to sit in CM and not go wandering
I can only think that Vinicius isnt fully fit, because this makes no sense
Does anyone have a reliable stream I can use for the second half? Got the first 20 odd minutes and the site i've been using has gone on the blinkers.. if you can either post here or if preferred DM me. Thanks.

Glutton for punishment eh?
WAS THAT A SHOT!!!
Dunk should have scored
I think we have defended fairly well. They have only had some almost chances with nice one two's around Ream and similar. Otherwise we have kept them on the outside.
Reed has broken up play a lot, but has been absent from the area in front of the defenders (like he largely has been since he joined us). He's been decent today.
Robinson is reading the game well and breaking up so many attacks, unfortunately he has about a 10% successful passing rate.
Front four's been poor.
Diop has been immense.

Agreed but unfortunately Silva is always very cautious (slow) to make substitutions and changes.
Defense is playing superbly but it feels like Fulham have been pegged back the entire half.
Why is Wilson still on when we have Solomon on the bench??
Only 1 candidate for MOTM today.
Wilson has been terrible today
Manor and vini on I think
We need an attacking outlet or were playing for the draw here and hoping we can hang on
Not Vinny, anybody but him Marco!
Where's everyone watching this? Can't find a working stream anywhere!

Soloman definitely, also give Lukic his debut?
We are living dangerously, they are going to score soon.

Totally agree, but are those substitutions too obvious?
Palhinha is really struggling against their midfield.
Infact everyone is struggling.
Wilson for Vini... finally
Bournemouth & Saints currently winning will make the table interesting tonight.

He's not good enough basically.
Amazed they took off Estupinan, thought he was having a great game
Wilson is really out of his depth in the PL, isn't he?
Robinson injured.
I wonder what we could get for Wilson in the summer
Enjoyed this from their board:
'They're worse than Villa. Marco Silva is a cheating c@nt.'
Its been impressive how easily they've played around our press

Vini with a "could see that coming a mile off" stupid foul when we had them pegged in the corner
Wilson starting over Solomon was dubious but not bringing on Solomon after having had 2 shots in 60mins is downright criminal.

Time to get sub in Solomon and Lukic. Pereira has been dreadful and I will let Marco choose the other one.
Is Willian still on? I dont think he's touched the ball second half

Wont watch illegal streams for lots of reasons so dont get all the updates
So why do we have more than 12 players on our team? Seriously. We could save money and lower ticket prices.
Why do we look so off the pace
If we manage to get a point here, it would be a miracle
Marco
Make some changes!
For once it would be nice to grab an absolute shthouse win
Its quite incredible they havent scored. They're had several excellent chances. Their xG must be at about 3
Brighton should be out of sight by now!
It feels like it is only a matter of time ...
We are just sitting back.it's as if we are protecting a lead
Manor going in. 10 mins of some Israeli magic.

Way too late with the subs again. Pereira has been abysmal all game but somehow gets 82 minutes?? Where is Lukic for Reed?
Reed and Andreas both been very poor. Obviously not having Mitro has had an impact. But we have been destroyed in midfield, and both of those have offered very little.

With amortisation, if you could sell him for 5/6m to a Championship team we should.
Formation is looking a bit all over the place at the moment
Tete has been absolutely fantastic. If Leno didn't have such a great game it would be by far my MOTM.
Yeah Leno is MOM by a mile
Why oh why does Marco wait soooo long to make substitutions????
It feels like we havent even tried to score
Vinicius is embarassing. Roll on summer so we can upgrade
Yes!
Yes
Get in if its a goal lol
Unbelievable!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no way!!!
Get in,thought we might steal it the way they missed their chances.
Daylight Robbery, but who cares, Vinny all is forgiven, what a player (LOL)!
I take.it all back i love you vini
MANORRR
Why doesn't Solomon start?
MANOOOORRRRRRRRR
Manor is so good
And a fire drill too!
Get in, undeeserved but owed luck from other matches.
Soloman going to be a cult hero
6 minutes, oh dear!
There is a GOD !!!!
That is pathetic refereeing. Linesman with a perfect view doesn't flinch.
I wanted to type unbelievable but got beaten by about 10 others!
Ref has it out for us. Quality challenge by Joao
How the hell did that happen
wow!!! smash and grab
Can I just say, I think Diop has been absolutely excellent
We want 2
Solomon is so good!! Why Silva waited so long to bring him on I don't know.
I must say I really like Sonny March
And Chelski are losing 1-0 a good day indeed (and Man City only drew, which I also enjoyed)
Looks like Marco had a plan after all!
Just need to hang on...

I am at a loss for words... in shock.
That shot was pinpoint.
I must have a lie down.
