Fulham 0-1 Bournemouth Saturday 09/04

[_Putney_]

Genuine question, if you were a Chelsea fan, would you want silva?

[TC's Sporran]

that should have been 0-2

[LittleErn]

Close but no cigar!

[Sgt Fulham]

Close but no cigar!

That should be our motto.

[TC's Sporran]

that should have been 1-1

Massive boos in the stadium

I fear for us next season unless there are some major personnel changes. Unfortunately I can't see how we can afford to make all that are necessary. We have nothing in the way of pace and neither height nor weight up front.

Potentially we do have a lot of what we need but as was pointed out to me recently the players seem to be lost and do not seem confident in what they are doing. It's the same mistakes, it's the poor passing, it's the lack of improvement. Personally I feel that sits with Silva.

Could you expand on that point?

I'm assuming Wilson, Raul, Muniz and Robinson will be off and we don't sign Chuk. Reed just goes.

Tete, Bassey and Diop could work well together although that trio lacks a bit of pace. Bobb and Fred could add the pace and ESR the nous we have missed in the middle for ages. Sess and King in midfield? Lukic captain?

This is becoming an unwelcome habit.

don't forget the SPF 50 boys...

Europe     

small blessing - we won't be humiliated by it!

And can concentrate on getting the new manager to bed in

[DevonFFC]

i saw the slagging off of tc not running at people and thought to myself do people actually understand what he's on the pitch for. the difference in possession since hes gone off is there to see. at times all the players are guilty of just taking the easy option of passing to tc only to get it back in almost meaningless posession for possessions sake. and for me he sits too deep. but thats obviously what the manager wants. the fault lies with not enough movement or running off the ball into space. from everyone.  only now as the final whistle draws near do we see anything like the urgency which should have been on show from the first minute.  still time to get something

Have as much possession as you want and add in a 1000 completed passes if they don't lead to anything.
The games too quick for him and yes he may well keep control but he also kills attacks as he's two slow in the transition and doesn't have the legs to go past a man or create a break.
He was signed for nostalgia unfortunately and he should have been let go to finish his career in a lower league

[Simunch]

Awful. Have a good rest of the weekend.

[KentFulham]

Players being booed on the walk around

[ffcne]

so so predictable every week. Relegation fight next season .We are miles off Bournemouth,Brentford and Brighton.

Booing Anderson would be acceptable

[LittleErn]

Once again we draw a blank. There's an excuse for me - I'm old - but none for FFC I'm afraid. Losing Andersen gives the forwards a get-out, but it was still only 10 v 10 so I don't buy that as a reason for not scoring.

they dont lead to anything invariably because there is no movement.  the game is too quick for him? is there anyone with a quicker football brain at the club? ok his legs are not fast. but they never have been. and are you watching a different game about how quickly he can spot a pass when advanced? and how quiixckly he delivers it? you are watching a different game to me

The whole lot getting it for the pedestrian performance. Shocking

Thanks for the response. I don't think those changes will make a lot of difference unless we sign at least one incisive striker for them to work with. It would still indicate the slow build-up and none of the above have the strength to deal with a packed defence. IMO.

Can't argue.
