Fulham 0 v 2 Leicester City Match Reaction Thread

[love4ffc]

Even though I did not agree with Anguissa and RLC starting, would have preferred Lemina and Bobby instead, Fulham had a good start to the match with both teams looking equal.  That was until the 16th minute when Ihenacho scored. 

I did thank that Cav coming on changed the game for Fulham and it showed as they had almost 70% of the ball in the beginning of the second half.  Sadly, possession doesn't mean goals are coming and Fulham just never looked like they were going to break down Leicester City to get anything.   

So, what are your thoughts on how the match went?

I like Parker, do wonder after this match performance how much more time he has at the club.

Meh, it's hard to be disappointed when a team is just better than you. Sure we have plenty to improve upon but let's be real, we're going down.

[Maidstone Lee]

Very disappointing and actually quite hard to watch. I've accepted we're going down so I can watch the games relatively stress free but I was actually bored at times.

Mitro is beyond useless against any team in the top half I'm sorry. The bloke is a legend but he couldn't hold the ball up tonight to save his life, and we lost any high press in the first half because he kind of jogs about for 30 seconds and then spends double that walking. As I said in the match thread, if Cav puts that performance in then he'd be getting ripped to shreds on here but Mitro seemingly gets away with it, and he's also not scored a league goal in over 1100 minutes

11 Games Without a Win now.

We should expect to be beaten by a number of teams in the Premiership (too six or so), and Leicester are one of them even if they were weakened.

It's our failure to beat West Brom and Brighton and the like that means we are going to be relegated.

Nothing much learned today, we just haven't good a good enough set of players in general.

Well if ever a match demanded the twin threats of AK47 and Kebano that was it !

[Lighthouse]

We continue to look as if we following a well rehearsed script that was missing a few pages. Not sure if the ideas are there once we get the ball when playing a good side.

Nothing learned today really.

Why should we expect to lose any game? It's not like we're a non league team playing Man City with their full first team out trying to avoid a 10-0 battering, we've got more than capable players that have shown we can get results against bigger teams. With the right tactics then we can set up to frustrate and try and nick wins against better teams but we picked the wrong players today

Sorry, but it's not the players.

One of the worst games ive watched all year, did nothing going forward,  players doing silly little flicks and back heels and never hitting a teammate,  Leicesters keeper couldve stayed in the shed the 2nd half and we still wouldnt have scored. RLC should never play for us again, biggest waste of a player spot in the club.

[The Rock]

I think the current side gets automatic promotion from the Championship 8 of 10 times and gets relegated from the PL 8 of 10 times and we played to that effect today.

Boring match, but I think we played to expectations. 2-0 loss is about right.

[SuffolkWhite]

I like Parker but felt BDR should have played, also felt a different formation was needed before the game. He did change it second half but too late.

[Ruislip White]

Ok getting into promising positions, but then frustrating as there was no quality or composure.  Mitro looked disinterested after 20 mins and nothing came off for Lookman.  We also seem to have developed an aversion to shooting, instead preferring to pass and pass and we are dispossessed.

[Lordedmundo]

I think the performance was sadly reminiscent of the games at the start of the season, where we are just not competing.

All the tempo has gone from our play in the last few matches and too many players are off form or ineffective. We really need Anguissa. Mitrovic and Lookman to show some form, otherwise we are going to struggle to win even a couple more games this season.

I was hoping for 3 wins from the run of 7 games starting with Brighton and ending with Palace. I would be happy with 1 win based on the way we are playing!

[Somerset Fulham]

LOL.  How dare we lose the side that has just gone third in the league.  The absolute state of a lot of the posts on this board are beyond ridiculous.

As for tonight? I don't think that we played particularly badly, but never laid a glove on a Leicester side that is comfortably better than us. Lets see how the weekend goes, I'm not panicking yet, we still have the time to do this.

[Plodder]

Josh Maja - no pressure, young man, just score all the goals and keep us up......

Scott Parker has to throw him in at the deep end on Saturday to play alongside - whom?  Mitrovic? Cavaleiro? Decordova-Reid?  Put Lookman alongside him as a central front two? I could only listen to rather than watch this evening's game, but Lookman seems to have faded. Would he be revitalised by moving from a wide to a central role? It worked for Thierry Henry.  I just don't know. Any (constructive) replies welcomed.

Should have loaned Mitro out.
Steady Mince you'll be getting a certain poster
all hot under the collar👶

Leicester demonstrated that they know how to create and score.
It is goals that count and Leicester won comfortably, can't see how Parker is going to break that pattern.

So, what are your thoughts on how the match went? 

I think you are right.
