Bournemouth 3-0 Fulham - 26 Dec

[Brawn]

Well this is bloody rubbish.

[Woolly Mammoth]

We have less than half an hour to turn this game around, more energy is needed.

I don't agree at all with BDR being the weakest link. I think he's shown good fight, and him and Tete are some of the few pairings out there that is looking like they have an understanding at the moment. That said, most everyone has been playing worse than expected. Seems to me that we are fully dependent on some constellations of players working well together and when they're not there, we create next to nothing. For instance, Robinson - Willian - Cairney - Pereira worked extremely well together. Now Willian is out, and although I love Iwobi, he's not a LW in any means. And he has no link up play with the others on that side. Muniz tries but is too often left alone. We lack any sort of creative spark, and we are missing the unpredictability of Willian a ton

Yet again he gives the ball away unnecessarily and allows the opposition to break, resulting in the penalty.

Of course he's not the only reason we lose but he's part of the overall problem.

get subs on now. At least 4, take your pick who comes off (except Iwobi who at least is trying).

Useless.  oops, another penalty maybe.

Is this Groundhog Day?

Why has Marco not brought his subs on?

[TC's Sporran]

cairney for me looking head and shoulders above anyone else in a white shirt going forward.  everyone else seems to be going through the motions. wheres iwobis speed and trickery? wheres joaos tenacity wheres muniz? and bdr trying clever flicks that invariably lose possession. robinson not getting the opportuinity to go forward.

iwobi trying? what game are you watching?

[Twig]

We are allowing ourselves to be forced to just play across the front of their defence. It's totally ineffective.

[Nero]

Get Vini on we have nothing up  font

[Twig]

SUBS Marco!!!

[TC's Sporran]

a shot from muniz!!!

after a better spell of play

[Palhinha Colada]

Last three halves have been a total walk in the park for two thoroughly mediocre sides. Pretty galling stuff from us.

[cookieg]

did muniz even move  for that tc cross?  at first i thought it was a crap cross but on rewind and replay muniz is too busy being pushed and shoved around

I agree and TC looked less than impressed.

TC threw his arms in the air and gave the midfield the hard stare after the Burnley second. Not the most inspiring captaincy you will ever see.

He's had a couple of good games but just not consistent enough. He should be controlling games against Burnley and Bournemouth but he doesn't. If we had more options he'd be back on the bench.

[FFC In Oz]

This is so crap.

BDR giving the ball away - leading to the break and subsequent pen.

Marco not making any changes.  Same old story.

Tosin probably the only player who gets a pass mark so far.

[Lordedmundo]

SUBS Marco!!!

Marco should have made changes at half time. It is almost as if he has given up on us getting a result as soon as the second goal went in

[SP]

I think that's the first decent cross

[Woolly Mammoth]

The worry is, is that we don't look like we have a goal in us.

TC being head and shoulders above the rest isn't really anything to shout about. The bar is pretty low.

[KentFulham]

Players have been terrible, Marco terrible on subs, this is not working
