Fulham 4-5 Man City Tuesday 02/12

[First State]

Beauty by ESR!

[St Eve]

Yeeees

[Coastwalker]

Manager got all the credit for Saturday...But he is to blame for this mess tonight.

[Milo]

Cracking goal. Well done ESR! Always believed in him 

[Grassy Noel]

Why is Sess always scared of taking a hit from the ball. If you can't coach that out of him then where do you go with him?

[SanFranFulhamfan]

Yeah ESR and Wilson the only ones worth anything today.

As I said in a previous post, ESR needs to start going forward

[Deeping_white]

Softens the blow but you'd doubt we'll score three, albeit I hope a reverse jinx on that. Just so stupid that we've given ourselves a mountain to climb for no reason, several players dropping an absolute stinker

[LittleErn]

Great goal. ESR with a fine assist from Wilson. Let's enjoy any moments we get.

[Milo]

So Chuk plus King at half time and let's hope for a City capitulation.

Silva has been given a sniff of a lifeline.. will he make the most of it with bold half time changes?

Who is King coming on for? Who would you take out?

[Fulham 1879]

1st time i have left a game pre half time

Well, you missed a great goal from ESR. No fan should ever quit.

[_Putney_]

ESR and Wilson. Plazzas of no others

We mess around and pass backwards far too much. Our back passes put us in trouble. We seem allergic to shooting. The end of the half...time running out and we faf around at the edge of the box and then back and sideways pass...result? Whistle blows half time.
Have a go for god's sake!!!

[Rambler]

Lukic adds absolutely nothing to this team.

We almost broke away after the ESR goal, loads of spare players on the left. Lukic gets it and passes backwards. I really do feel that a lot of our terrible performances this season is because of the CM pairing of lukic and berge and on sat Berge put in a great performance alongside Iwobi. So lukic not only affects himself, he negatively affects players around him

Id take Lukic off. He's been woeful

[SerbianLad]

Why did we pass the ball between our defenders there? We've had City on the ropes in the final 3-4 minutes, we should have pushed them hard and tried to get a second goal.

On the gane itself, I thought we contained them quite well for the most of it and conceded the first two goals due to terrible defending from Bassey and Andersen and their third was just a superb strike. Our attackers and midfielders closed their passing lanes well, but our cb pairing let them down.

Lukic's passing and first touch were both atrocious. Arguably worst of any Fulham player this season. I do think he pressed well though, but that doesn't negate his poor passing and first touch, not by a long shot.

Finally, ESR had a great performance. Both on the ball and off it. Only player that looked like scoring too and his finish was superb.

[andyk]

ESR has been superb. Gets himself into tiny pockets in the penalty box and has scored one, very nearly another, and a couple of efforts.  I mean, he's done more in this half than Josh King has done in all of his starts. An early goal woukd be nice.

[Bassey the warrior]

Lukic gotta go at half time, get Iwobi at CM and Chuk out on the left. We're already 2-0 down so might as well try and bloody their nose, as it stands we're just going to trundle to a loss

I concur, Lukic looks rusty.

I've done the maths on my fingers and you're right!

Lukic for Chuk at half time. Iwobi moves to the centre and Chuk on left wing.

At 75 mins we take off ESR as he tires for King.

[hopper]

Changing this midfield hasn't worked at all. ESR been brilliant, but disappointed in the performance and how we've been set up today.

This run against City is just gonna extend.
