Fulham v Chelsea 2-3

[FFC007]

This is extremely worrying....

Khan needs to get his finger out and get some defensive reinforcements quickly...

Or we will be in the EFL next season.

[KentFulham]

Yah we need a new keeper.

Leno had no fault here, he's had good saves thus far

He has had some awful distro, he has been average

[Nero]

Iwobi and Cuenca off Charles and LDF on, cant be any worse

[ClintDempseysBottleOpener]

This could get very bad very quickly. The defence looks hopeless.

Leno had no fault here, he's had good saves thus far

I'd agree if he got anywhere near it and blocked the cross, but he didn't.

[Rambler]

Honestly there is no defensive line. I've never seen such disorganisation

[KentFulham]

This could end up 1-4 or more tonight unless something changes

I'd agree if he got anywhere near it and blocked the cross, but he didn't.

And he wouldn't have done on his line either

Damned if he did or didn't, he made a decision based 8n the defensive error in my opinion but that's all it is my opinion

[Neil D]

It will be interesting to see if Arbeloa is more proactive than Silva was with his often too-late substitutions

[SimonDaviesEnjoyer]

Not sure what changes I'd make at HT. We don't really have much by way of defensive options?

Maybe Charles to try and steady the ship in the middle?

Its not often we agree but thats my exact prediction too.

Agree we he does, maybe they will re visit the Rennes centre back

[Deuce]

A lot better than anticipated tbh. Some lovely attacking patterns, players swapping positions, and a better variety in how we attack.

Josh King is playing like an England starter, even tho that goal was a massive blunder from Sanchez.

We do still look shaky in defence but I think the overall blueprint is promising indeed. Just need to build on this and get a couple of new players in.

At the same time, same can be said about Chelsea for large part. They look at times  good going forward, some nice link up between Rogers, Pedro and Palmer. And not solid in defence. However, 3421 is tricky to pull off and just like Chelsea players are trying to settle into Xabis tactics, so are Fulham into AAs.

Have faith 3-2 to Fulham 

[Bal_13]

My worry is AA has us playing as if we had the quality of player Real Madrid enjoy...

Too many of our lads forcing or misplacing passes

[Fulham 1879]

Better tempo going forward than under Silva. Defensively, problems persist with lack of pace. Chelsea just gliding passed Cuenca and Berge who look like a pair of lampposts when Chelsea attack with pace.

[Moussa Dembele the 3rd]

The left side of the team is a mess. Palacios has no positional awareness or repoire with Robinson. They're both bombing forward with no cover leaving Cuenca on and island and he's been awful. Pretty naive.

[Twig]

Back four all over the place but the midfield isn't providing much protection either. If Iwobi has made a successful tackle I must have missed it.

[rusty shackleford]

Long season ahead

Leno should have done better for the 2nd goal, but he was decent otherwise

Our fullbacks did fine. Bassey was good, Cuenca terrible. One of the worst cb display I've seen in many years.

Berge and Iwobi both really poor. They kept giving the ball away in very dangerous positions. Just not good enough at all.

King has been our best player. Can't find a criticism for his performance.

Bobb was very good too, imo.

The two Real Madrid boys had some good moments, but looked lost for large parts of that half. Palacios one of the main culprits for the first goal as well, imo.
