2 Keepers ...again?!?!
And no Willian, is he injured? Also Duffy not on the bench. Gulp. Cedric's omitted because he's an Arsenal loan, and Kurzawa's injured, so our only defender on the bench is Diop and young Charlie Robinson (who, to be fair, has always impressed at youth level, and I'd love to see him get a path to the first team, but not necessarily like this). No fullbacks. I guess Marco is thinking he can put BDR in at fullback if needed and bring on Dan James on the wing. That's an incredibly thin set of subs..

Diop is on the bench and Tosin is starting.
I caught that a moment too late. Was modifying furiously (as you were posting, no doubt). Gotta proofread more! Mostly, I just spotted the 2 keepers on the bench again and thought "what is that about?"
Slightly surprising to see Tosin start. Disappointing that Willian isn't included, assumed it was a late injury or illness situation. Nothing strange with the youngsters on the bench (other than a second goalie) given that Duffy, Kurzawa, Soares, Cairney, Palhinha, Kebano and apparently Willian are all unavailable.
Strong starting eleven, weak bench, let's hope there are no injuries Come on you Whites 049:gif 049:gif

Maybe Wicken is really talented and Rodak is on the way out.... Giving the kid a mentor on the bench?... I don't know....
I really think we are going to get a drubbing today. We really miss Paulinha, especially for this game, we will be dominated in midfield....and then no Wilian either...
My score prediction is 0-5.
Hope I am wrong, but I have felt it in my water 😢

Seeing Solomon there, suddenly I feel that we can give them a good game.

Tim Ream wearing headphones with the little girl he is walking out on to the pitch with is a nice touch. The little girl most not do well with load situations.
LET'S GO!!
Please no silly mistakes today at the back, keep it tight
Really like listening to Gentleman Jim and Sean Davis. Sean tells good stories and gives a good analysis of the game.

var to the rescue
Offside
No goal
I love VAR... ;P
Whew a bit of luck there.
Now we have got to stop messing about the back
Phew!
Bring off Tosin, Diop back on.
He never puts any tackles in and can't block a single shot!
Short lived
poo
Please just let the floodgates open :016:

He is hopeless.
got a bad feeling about this sadly. first time this season
trainwreck corner
That was crap
We just can't get out of our own half. Our only move is for Leno to pass it short, then we try to work it down the wing. No other plan, nothing, so predictable. I really fear a drubbing today.
Tosin has got to do better there.
Been all Arsenal.
Some nice dribbles by Manor - shame they are all towards our goal!
Please put Diop on and sure things up.
Without Palhina we fall apart.
Come on Fulham..
Passing across the back and giving away possession again is going to really cost us here.

palhinha is a massive miss.
Why do we have to have an ex Arsenal player commentating?
The plan is to tire them out with a boatload of corners.
This is embarrasing.
Robinson has been utterly awful. That was abysmal defending from him.
And why didn't Tete put a tackle in earlier?
Embarrassing, such a shame we don't have squad depth to pull of some of these deadwood off.
Survival was key and we will survive but if we finish above 12th I'll be shocked
Agree with Sean Davis. Fulham can't seem to keep the ball. They need to slow the game down and keep possession. Stop giving the ball away.
Awful defending by Robinson
haven't laid a glove on them, this is a terrible showing
We are totally shite and have been for several weeks
If Tosin isn't brought off soon I'll go on the pitch and fireman's lift him off
Unacceptable. Gutless, pathetic football. Robinson should hang his head in shame.

But I keep being told by people like Deeping White that it's surrender monkey talk to contemplate anything less than a top 8 finish.

Think this is shows that we have been unlucky with injuries and have no real depth in the squad.

I was about to say the same thing.
Where is Deeping White? He was up in arms at the suggestion we would finish below 8th last week.
We have been poor in ways I havent seen since 18-19 but I have to give Arsenal credit for being so good - playing like champions in waiting.

I'd have been delighted with 10th or 11th before this season started.

I suppose we have 3 first team players out - Diop, Palhina, Willian
As others have said we've been playing rubbish for weeks, so this isn't a surprise. Tosin is such a massive downgrade on Diop. Bench is terrible.
We have a lot of work to do in the summer. I think we'll finish 11th
Casemiro just been sent off in the Man United match. Think that means he's suspended next week.
Casemiro red card
I think the final straw would be Silva bringing on Dan James as our super sub.
Absolutely gutless performance.
How much did we pay for Lukic
Why does it seem like we have less players on the pitch?? Nothing in midfield or up top...
Shocking from Tete. He had no idea where that defender was. Ball watching.

We have to endure Wilson as well yet.
Robinson again.
Dire, absolutely dire.
Tete first poor game for us that I can remember. Tosin and Robinson absolutely terrible, Reed and Lukic dominated in the middle, Reid always takes one touch too many today.
What the hell is Robinson doing
Lukic doesn't even attempt to block it. Hopeless.
Tete just throwing the ball into the Arsenal player
I don't care who we bring on but get Robinson off, he's a disgrace today.
Our seasons been over since we beat Brighton
Take off Robinson. He is so bad.
Worst performance of the season by several miles. Is Robinson drunk?
We are so poor without Joao.
Omg where do I start?! That was a shocking half. So much space and time for Arsenal. Like a practice match. I am glad we have enough points already otherwise I'd be really worried after that half.
I've missed most of the first half due to stream issues, how the hell we are down 3-0, how?
Who's at fault for that? what happened? I can't believe we are that worse than Arsenal. What Marco did this entire week that we're performing this badly in such a high profile game?

Diop and Chalie Robinson on for Tosin and Antonee Robinson. Move Tim Ream to LB. Dan James or Wilson on for BDR.
Very disappointing to see us roll over so easily.

They have looked hungrier than us, more intensity, we've not got close to them in midfield. When we've had the ball we haven't been able to break them down and create openings, but they have been able to cut through our midfield and defence at will. We don't have the same energy and fight that we had in the first half of the season.
Why Tosin has started instead of Diop? Every time Tosin has played this year we looked bad.
What's going on with Marco?
Robinson is still in bed. Tosin awful. Lucik doesn't impress. Totally out played in all areas
Its really very simple we are totally outclassed. I just hope we dont lose 7-0

I can't imagine a scenario where a professional defender could have a worse performance than what Robinson is having. Twice misses headers leading to goals. Doesn't even challenge on another. Has an own goal luckily marked off. Fallen asleep on more than one occasion tracking his runner. His closing down is ineffective. I could go on.
He is a red card waiting to happen. I can see him getting frustrated and doing something daft. Marco needs to get him off for his own good at this point.

Cedric is an Arsenal loanee. He's not in the team today.
As the bench shows, we have no options today. Gonna have to either play harder or take a washing.
Both fullbacks having a mare - everyone else awful -other than Leno
Not sure how to fix this but Robinson has to come off. Worst performance in years from Fulham. Embarrassing, in fact, I think they were all out on the piss last night. They look like it.

Thanks for the summary. As soon as I've heard Marco saying we're playing very good against them in the first match away, I started to worry. Arsenal could easily defeat us in that game and we were lucky to hold our own until late. I hoped we'll learn our lesson and start much more intense this game. I can't understand what happened to us the last 1 month. We're so slow and sloppy.
I hope Silva sticks a rocket up their backsides at half time.

Some sympathy there. He was throwing it to AP but the referee ended up blocking him off.
Regardless, you have to throw that down the line and get to halftime. Can't throw it to the middle of the field.
Move Ream to FB and bring on Diop for Robinson
We had better not entertain even thinking about cashing in on Joao

Yes. With James and Vini it could look much worse.
I feel that we have really overachieved this season as a team, and that we are starting to see the players go back to their normal levels. Players like BDR and Reed, were looking competitive at this level for a several months, but I think we are seeing that they really are Championship standard and were riding the crest of a wave. I could add a couple of others to that list (Robinson and Tete) on today's showing but I'm not sure if it's just a poor showing or true levels. The full backs are really the fundamental strength of the team when we do well; solid in defence and able to support attacks, while also giving us insurance against counter-attacks. But when they don't play well we are really vulnerable and the midfield and CBs can't cope.
Really didn't think we were going to get anything out of this game anyway. Palhinha is back for Man United so hopefully on to better things.
It's time for damage limitations. None of the players are really playing that well might as well bring on Wilson and James and let them run about. Could be good to get Mitro and Pereira off and let them rest for United. Mitro is going to get any service and Pereira just looks tired.
Who knows Wilson or James could come on and get a hat trick :dft011:

Eh he was all over the place. Had a terrible pass that put us under pressure. But I get that he tends to get the benefit of the doubt around these parts.
At this point I'll be satisfied if we can score 2 goals in the next 30 minutes and at least make it interesting for the last 15 minutes of the game.

LOL, not going to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Entire team has been poor so far except poor old Leno who I feel for the most.
Why do we have two keepers in the lineup? Surely a youngster couldve been given that spot. And is Duffy injured? The way tosin has played today i would rather have Duffy as the back up Cb! Just been poor all round, Leno the only player whose earnt his wage so far

At least Tete still looks capable of putting a decent cross in

Same. Tosin may be a inch or two taller but Diop has a much better physical presence and (most of the time) reads the play better
I have never seen Robinson play this badly
Another poor pass/clearance from Ream.

So far Mitro has been most dangerous when the ball has been crossed in, keeps beating the defender in the air.
Yet he's had maybe 2 crosses all game!

Why would you want Duffy when he's injured?
No complaints with Mitro, I think if anything he's looked better than in recent games. Pereira also has been busy and putting in a shift. Leno ok, Solomon blameless but not made any real impression, everyone else basically poor.
On the plus side - Mitro doesn't look inhibited by injury any more, but seems to be lacking sharpness. He's been ok, although should have done better where he has won the ball well with his physicality, but then given it away and put us back under pressure...

I strongly disagree. Superb holdup play throughout the whole match. Not his fault most of the other players have been extremely bad. And definitely not one of our 4 worst players today like you said.
Can't really blame Mitro today. Defence has been a total mess and our midfield anonymous. Lukic looks abysmal.
Ream the only defensive player even remotely showing even a shadow of form. The others all appalling.

For anyone at the game, I implore you to spend 2 or 3 minutes just watching Mitro and watch how lethargic his movements are.
I don't think I've seen him make one sprint.
Didn't think Mitrovic and Tete were terrible. Most others having bad games. Robinson of note. Sadly, I guess we were overdue for a sound spanking. Learn from it and move on.....
Solomon and Mitro look like they are belong every time they are touching the ball, but other than them we really lacking attacking firepower.
Pereira is not creative enough. If we want to be upgraded next season I feel we need a quick creative player at the #10 position. Someone who can challenge Pereira for a starting spot. TC is not that person.
Tosin has been quite a bit better this half.

Mitro, Robinson, Lukic and Tete all competing for worst player of the match. Robinson fractionslly edges it in my opinion.
Mitro been one of our better performers?
Shadow of himself in my opinion.Not a good day at the office.
I strongly disagree. Superb holdup play throughout the whole match. Not his fault most of the other players have been extremely bad. And definitely not one of our 4 worst players today like you said.
Some of his hold play has been decent. But his positioning and pressing have been abysmal
Still disagree, and very much so at that.
Pereira has still been really poor, but the second half we've played much better... arguably better than we did against Brentford.

Blimey oh Riley, let's hope bringing Palhina and Willian back plus Silva waking up and playing Diop will reverse our fortunes next week.

Mitro one of our better players, disagree with those saying otherwise but respect their opinion as ever.
Zero service, great hold up play, hit the bar.

Why do we have two keepers in the lineup? Surely a youngster couldve been given that spot. And is Duffy injured? The way tosin has played today i would rather have Duffy as the back up Cb! Just been poor all round, Leno the only player whose earnt his wage so far
Why would you want Duffy when he's injured?
Read my post again, i was asking if he was injured :doh:
Yep, sorry. And yes, he is.
Listen, it's not Mitros fault.
He's clearly not 100%.
Whether that's the injury still or something else, he's not fit.
I find it disappointing that there are some who are suggesting that Mitro is not trying and is displaying a lack of effort and commitment. I think that is to totally misread his situation. We all know that Mitro is trying to come back from a persistent injury, he hasn't looked properly fit for weeks now. When Mitro was scoring for fun he was, by his standards, quick and sharp. A lot of his goals came from his ability to use his engine arrive in the box in time to be a threat. The fact that isn't happening is not, in my opinion, down to lack of commitment, it's injury.
If Tosin starts over Diop again Silva needs a psychiatric assessment

Agreed - he isn't playing well but it's not down to a lack of trying
Ref giving frees for the arsenal player tripping over his own feet, sums up the day really :023:
Well the sooner we close this thread the sooner we forget about that abject first half performance.
See you on the main discussion forum to tear this one apart.
Where did I put my bottle of wine..
