Why sit back and change nothing when a goal behind?

[Drake44444]

What is going to change if just keep sitting back after conceding?   Just conceding another goal.  I don't understand why when behind a goal they don't start closing down more.   Whats the point of allowing more of the same when behind?

Totally agree with you. Bring Taarabt on that's what I say

From where? not even on the bench

[SW6 Taarabt]

why is that then. He is the only one that can create

you might think so I don't, he is too much for himself

[SW6 Taarabt]

well it seems our team today are really doing well without him

[aaronmcguigan]

doing really well?

[Scrumpy]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. When we got it back to 1-2 against Sunderland last weekend, it was generally agreed that we went too 'gung ho' and conceded on the break, when we need not have.

This weekend, we've probably been a little more cautious (with good reason against Arsenal) and still get criticised.

Agree
:plus one:
We played well considering the opposition.
It gives us hope going forward - no shame today!

I think we performed really well today. I was impressed with Burn. I think the only reason we didn't concede more was because of the solidity of him and Brede. Richardson played well as did Sidwell. I think Berbatov created great chances and as always brought the ball down really well. Kakaniclic and Dejagah were a big disappointment. And Bent, missing that chance at the end  

Even though we lost, It was a good showing. Shame Palace won  :dft007:

Today, you could have put your house on Arsenal. Gallant effort by the boys but Fulham were never in with a chance.

[Count Berbatov]

It was always going to be contra attack. Regardless of the scoreline

[Berserker]

Take a game at a time otherwise insanity could occur

Really feel Kasami on about the 55th minute for Dempsey would have changed the game. That's about when we had been pegged back in our own third for a few minutes, it was clear arsenal were going to get something out of the middle of the park, and dempsey was defensively absent where kasami would have at least served as another body to pick up their players streaking into the center off the wing or from deep.
