Kacaniklic

[Toby Ward-Smith]

Kacaniklic was for me horrific today. It was the worst I have seen him play for Fulham; constantly giving the ball away with poor passes, poor and weak crosses and horrific touches. What do you think?

[Blanco]

I agree. He played awful. This season I have felt that he has just not performed. His pace is great for getting down the line and putting it into the box. The problem is his finishing pass/shot. He always shows to much of the ball when facing defenders. That wonderful opportunity from Berbatovs pass is a perfect example.

[Ordar]

As I said in the match thread, he doesn't offer anything. He's not improved since he joined us. Literally the only thing he has going for him is pace. He's 23 in August, he's plateaued and I can't see him improving. He can't do any of the basic things that wingers younger than him can do.

He can't cross,
He rarely picks the right option, his decision making is sub par
He doesn't defend,
He can't beat a defender, ever
He doesn't create any chances
His first touch is horrendous,

I'm far from his biggest fan, but I genuinely think that Richardson, Mesca, Plumain and even Roberts would be more effective down that side

[The Rock]

Agreed all around.

[Denver Fulham]

He wasn't entirely awful. He kept putting himself in dangerous positions. His end product was total dross.

[KP_FFC]

he wasn't great BUT at least he put in a shift. he ran around unlike berba and dempsey so yes he played bad but im grateful he tried.

[ToodlesMcToot]

Riise/Richardson worked wonderfully well the one time we tried it. Why haven't we gone back?

At the very least that combination makes us more defensively sound on the left and we really lose nothing going forward.

[Berserker]

Sorry but it was Berber that got on my nerves today

[fulhamben]

from ruiz to senderous and now kaca. doesn't matter who we drop there will be another player next week ready to be scape goated. we have a very poor squad, and we don't have a big enough squad to replace all the players that are not doing it at the moment. drop kaca for the next game and then Dempsey will get it. followed by berba in the game after that and so on and so on till we are left with 3 defenders a keeper and a hell of a lot of under 18s. the only person better than kaca at left mid could arguably be taarabt. and I presume he was injured this week hence no squad place. Richardson is not better than anyone at anything. it amazes me how people forget how bad he is when a youngster is off form and they are just looking to replace with anyone. even the ones they are crying out to be replaced in this window

I think he did as much as he could. Most of the time there was no one around him and he didn't have many attacking options. The few times there were players around him he made great passes.

all boils down to our center mids inability to link defence to attack again. plus lets be honest arsenal are a good side

[Admin]

Reminds me of a player we once had called Julian Hails. Those who knew of him, will know what I man.

I am sorry but cannot agree with this. I was at the game today in the Ars end exactly on the half way line above the tunnel. He did not have any pace today, he looked slow and everyone managed to get back to tackle him. His control was awful throughout the game, it was a great pass from Berba in the first half which he did not control and he didn't even get a shot away. I have thought he has been off the pace all season, which is a shame after the Swansea game last season.

Having sat in the Arsenal end today (clock end - high up right behind the goal) it gave a good perspective of the entire 'picture' of the game.

This is exactly the issue.  :54:  Good shout.

Sids and Parker aren't good enough to switch it quickly and often end up congesting the play when we try to play through them.

Flamini looked very good today. Tidied up nicely behind Ozil and Wilshere and cut off Dempsey for most of the game. Sids and Parker both want to play like him, you want one of them to push up the field and have confidence to receive the ball in high pressure situations - a bit like Wilshere does and a bit like Kaca tried to do today.

Can't have a go at the lad for attempting to the right things when he is getting better week in, week out.

[Fulham_Surrey]

what do you mean, Berba twice have great passes, and just Kaca poor touch.  Especially the chance that was going to be clear 1-1 against the goalie.  Such a bad touch.  That was a goal we missed.

[Julius Geezer]

Out of his depth today.

The boy is learning though, and getting better.

We need these young prospects around the club.

Rene is the type of coach to get the best out of him and develop him, so give it time, he will come good.

Sorry, but the one performance we got from Richardson at LM this season was as good as any we've got from any LM this season.

Kaca had a poor game today going forward. He squandered one or two of our best opportunities. I think that's fairly clear. Am I scapegoating him or anyone for this loss? No. We got beat by a better team. End of.

[PokerMatt]

I think it's touch and go whether he'll make it at this level.

He was brilliant against Norwich and deserved another chance, but he was really poor today. So wasteful and back to not taking on his man.

For me, left wing is an area we have to improve on and quickly.

[Enter the Frei]

To be honest if the lad had a half decent final ball, we'd probably all be praising him today. Consistantly gets into the right positions and is actually a very intelligent winger it's just when his final ball isn't there he is incredibly wasteful when in good positions.

kaka is jeykll and hyde

i love his energy, he wants to be involved he runs at defenders with the ball
AND
then he does such strange things, poor crosses, poor pass selection... his run to get berba's pass in the first half was an amzing effoort and then his heavy touch was inexplicable... i would let him keep his place a bit longer, try to harness his best qualities...
