FoF MOTM Burnley 2 v 3 Fulham and post match thread =Wilson

[love4ffc]

It was good to see Robinson back on the pitch. I know he is probably anxious to get back to 100% so he can be a part of the USMNT for the upcoming World Cup.    I do question whether starting was a good choice versus coming off the bench for 20 – 30 minutes.  But who am I to tell Marco and the medical team what to do? 

Personally, I thought the defending that led to the goals was terrible on both sides.  Luckily, Fulham had the better offense with outstanding performances from Wilson and ESR.  Wilson is easily my player of the season so far, given how well he has been performing this year. 
Anyway, it was good to see Fulham win at Turf Moor for the first time since 1951.  So, who was your FoF MOTM and why?

I think we need a completely new CB pairing, one without Bassey. I can't wait to see if Cuenca can keep Bassey out of the squad when he comes back from AFCON.

Thank f**k for Wilson and Leno, MotM performances.

[Stoneleigh Loyalist]

Many will say Wilson again but I must vote for Leno. I think that nerves played its part tonight but it really was rubbish by both sides.

Entertaining, a bit concerning but the most important thing is 3 points and finally ending the curse. Against Scott Parker of all people.

Made hard work of what could have been an easier result.

ESR continues to look the real deal now, as does Wilson - best form for us. Also Leno's most important performance in a long time, lots of key stops (despite us conceding twice to a terrible attacking side).

[SP]

Take the points & move on. Burnley ready to return to the Championship. Leno & Chucky MoTM for me.

[SerbianLad]

Leno and Wilson the only real options imo. Leno saved us from embarrassing ourselves by conceding 5-6 goals to the worst attack in the league and Wilson was directly involved in all 3 of our goals. ESR was great for most of the game, but almost gifted them a goal. Chukwueze was pretty good, but he should have done much better in 2 or 3 of our counter attacks. All other starters played poorly and the subs weren't on for long enough to warrant a MOTM vote.

Absolutely, can't believe how dysfunctional they are together. No understanding at all despite playing together a long time.

[First State]

Has to be Leno or Wilson. Both were instrumental to the win.

[Deeping_white]

Scoring two set piece goals against Mr Fine Margins is quite poetic, apart from that it was a bag of sh*t. Defence were all awful, tactically not really sure what we were doing (again) and subs made about 15 mins too late. 6 shots away at Championship standard Burnley is also not good enough, Silva needs to earn his keep and make us better on the training ground because we look disjointed. Always happy to win but that was an awful performance and probably down to how bad Burnley are as much as anything. Chucky will be a big miss, fantastic footballer who I can't wait for us to sign permanently, less said the better about Bassey from today. Big chance for Cuenca to make the LCB spot his from now on IMO. Already half way to the magic 40 though so Filham hopefully slightly happier watching down on us.

[SuffolkWhite]

Wins a win, but I confess to not ever feeling confident even at 3-1.

Hoping the defence can tighten up, Robinson and Bassey struggling on that left side for cohesion tonight.

Still let's celebrate our first win there since 1951 🥳

[Rj Fulham]

Wilson, with Leno a close 2nd. The defense should all be buying Leno a drink after that, time and again he bailed them out!

[Yamus]

What a shower of sh#t,what do they do for a living.Wilson motm by a country mile

[perry geyton]

No brainer
Leno and Harry of coarse

Cuenca and Diop need to start against Newcastle, imo. Andersen has been one of our top 3 worst players in every game since the Man City match(and including Man City match) and Bassey is obviously off to AFCON(but he's been pretty poor and I wouldn't start him even if he wasn't off to AFCON).

[Slaphead in Qatar]

How did the commentator ( Andy Hinchcliffe I think) come to the conclusion Iwobi was excellent tonight. I count about 7 times he passed the ball to a Burnley player.

[HobGoblin]

Very very concerned how we play one of the weakest teams and bar us taking our chances, thankfully, along with keeper MOTM. We'd have been made to look like right mugs. What is going on with our team and why does MS not seem to have a proper answer.

[SP]

Two valuable away wins on the bounce but we made this hard.

[The Old Count]

Wilson for me. Just in front of Leno. The afcon players looked like their minds were elsewhere and Robinson was understandably rusty.
Sometimes you play well and lose. Sometimes you play not so well and win.

I actually like Diop,and find it strange how he keeps being overlooked..As I've always stated Silva has his favourites and doesn't like to upset them.

3 points again - silva out!
