Arsenal 2 -1 Fulham: Post Match thread Merged

[Ss12white]

Big gap, we played well.

[South Coast White]

Foul on Leno from the corner all day long, how can VAR not see that.

[cookieg]

At least we aren't Boremouth fans.

[ChesterTheTabby]

Overall, the better side won the 3 points, that being said, the reason they won were the poor substitutions and the timing of it all. Tete was on fire, Mbabu was just smoked. Diop looks so out of depth, Duffy if anyone should have come on...but really Andreas should not have come off. The substitutions should have been made at the 80+ minute mark.. all done far too early.

All in all we held our own against one of the best teams in the league. I'm proud of the lads!

Cup final, unbeaten record was under threat.

What did Diop do wrong?

Played well put in a shift unfortunate to concede equaliser Arsenal were relieved to win if there top of the league we matched them especially as we don't even have our strongest team available yet.  COYW

Big gap, we played well.

There is but Arsenal aren't a team we are going to be competing against to stay up. Theyve had to work hard for that 3 points.

[Somerset Fulham]

I wish people wouldn't use these childish names for other football clubs tbh.  But they were in a game and they knew it.

[rebel]

Kebano, just kept running, could of easily passed to Pereira to try to score.

I only heard it on Radio 5. We gave a good account of ourselves and it was sad we didn't hang on but the result was to be expected if we are honest. Now we MUST win against Brighton on Tuesday to keep the positive momentum going.

What an annoying commentator on the Radio. Didn't even confirm that Mitro had scored unbtil the kick off yet you'd have thought he'd won the lottery for the 2 Arsenal goals. And with Charlie Adams who uses one word in 10 from the English language. Piss poor coverage.

Now for Tuesday. COYW

[General]

I mean considering how much arsenal have dominated and put teams to the sword I thought everyone did phenomenally today in Fulham colours. They all put in a real shift. Tete's one on one defending was great. Tosin did have some shaky moments in the first half but given arsenal's attacking ability and play I think that's understandable. He also made a few good last ditch tackles.

Shame not to get a point and it'll be interesting to see what Marco was so upset about but I thought the team did themselves proud today.

We desperately need more depth up front though. How we haven't yet is very puzzling.

Also noticed Bryan wasn't on the bench today. Nod to him. Hopefully we're not going to let him go unless we have a player in to replace him.

Mitro gets injured and we're buggered.

Did feel Tete coming off lost us an edge. Mbabu didn't do a lot wrong but arsenal were getting a lot more luck down than side when he came on.

[Tabby]

Can't be too mad about the result. Some bad performances but a loss away to the in form team of the division is understandable.

Bring on Brighton.

What did Diop do wrong?

Service resumed from Crawley. He was very fortunate others were around him, seemed a bit lost to include for the corner and a few almost chances right down the middle for Arsenal. He absolutely has potential, but after Crawley, was this really the right game to bring him in? Probably not. That said, I should be more kind. He's a giant of a defender, and with the right training at Motspur Park, he can improve massively.

I can't believe no one has seen the penalty we should have had. My guess is Marco Silva is upset about that

[AnOldBrownie]

Heaven help us if any of our starting 4 defenders pull up an injury.


And I think Harrison Reed's skill set is the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOW bar for what should be expected from him.   He's not going to win any balls in the air, he's not going to finish and he's not going to open up the middle of the pitch.

Think he's a good squad player...but that's it.  imo

Thought Robinson was great after the first 15 minutes. MOTM imo.

I wouldn't mind knowing that too?


Was a good game, we played bloody well and competed which is all that we can ask isn't it? If we continue to compete like this we will have no problem at all. I firmly believe that.

Mitro still can't do it in the Premier League though, eh?

To be honest I didn't see it.

Honestly I missed it, what happened? I watched the game and I didn't even catch it.... and the commentary team didn't mention it at all from my stream.

Robinson Man of the Match!
