Fulham 1-4 Newcastle Sat 1 Oct 15:00

[Mullers OG]

Does make you wonder why Cairney stays at Fulham if he doesn't start in this side. One of my all time favourite players but to have Chalobah played ahead of him must feel like a kick in the face.

[Mince n Tatties]

Comeback of the season on cards 3-3.
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Hopefully Palhinha is watching this and thinking.... you know what... the next time I score a belter I might not stupidly run into the crowd and get a needless yellow when I'm one away from a ban

[Rj Fulham]

He would want to be injured, considering the way he is jogging around the pitch whilst his teammates are running. Absolutely fuming atm  :031:

[Jamie88]

Have we even had a shot or been remotely near their goal?

[Bassey the warrior]

Couldn't find a working stream but sounds like a dodged a bullet. We all knew Chalobah wasn't good enough, I just hope there's a suitable replacement available on a free and Marco is willing to admit he made a mistake and rectify it.

As for Mbabu it's a very poor start but has time to improve, whereas Chalobah hasn't impressed having had a full season in an inderior league.

LOL - Gallows humour!

If the answer was Chalobah, then Silva simply didn't understand the question. The player has no merit, and costs the team whenever he is included. I'm disappointed and appalled at what's happened today.

[bill taylors apprentice]

I don't rate Chalobah, never have but he's a professional so with a bit of pride and footballing intelligence should have been able to do a job today.
But instead made himself look stupid and let everyone down.

[Somerset Fulham]

Nothing to do with Mike Dean whatsoever. It was a dumb challenge by a guy who is clearly out of his depth.

[Craven Mad]

Further funds?...not necessary. With a match in-hand, we were rocking top 10 with largely 'our' squad plus Andres and Joao.

Instead, learn from Scotty P.'s signings disasters and dance with the girls that bring ya.

The point is that with just a couple of injuries/suspensions and we're on the end of a spanking.

Whilst we've started the season v well, we lack depth in a few areas, and that's what I think needs to be addressed in Jan.

[FFC In Oz]

May as well just stay in the sheds.

Chalobah is dreadful.

The rest of the team lack intensity as well.  Plenty of half hearted jogs after the ball.  Second to everything

[andyk]

Really have to dig in this half and, at least draw the half.
They have no reason to push for more goals, but if we capitulate they will bag a few more.
A trouncing could destroy the confidence we've built up and plunge us backwards.

I maintain that the hyperbole is off the charts here from a lot of posters. I was about to try to answer but realise that no one is interested in a level headed discussion (quite understandable given the miserable day it is turning out to be). Any further discussion is obviously a waste of time.

I'd like to discuss with you Sting.  How badly Is Mitro really injured? Is it better to get him off with a hope that it's not too bad rather than let him struggle on and make it worse? Did anyone see the injury?
Regarding Chalobah, I agree that his few appearances have shown us nothing to merit a place in the team, but what were Silva's options?

Reed deep, Pereria in front of him as box to box and Cairney doing his role. Feels like quite an obvious decision. Unless Ciarney isn't fully fit perhaps.

It's a fair assessment that.

But let's not pretend it's a like for like change for Palhinha. Chalobah might not be very good, but in terms of what kind of player he is, it's a more direct replacement.

We've known for a while that we are short on quality in the middle, I think you've pointed it out while the window was still open. This is just the sad ramifications of all that.

Cairney is no longer a 90 minute player.

I guess money. Probably a decent contract he won't get elsewhere. Can't imagine a PL team wanting him so would drop down a level.

Come on Fulham, I want to see us fight in the second half and hopefully get one back to help our goal difference. Not expecting anything from the game just want to see some fight

Cairney's never fully fit - one of his legs is unusable! 😇

One more leg usable Than Chalo's then...... :005:

I'd argue Reed is more a like for like replacement Palinha than Chalo is. He's literally been our starting DM in the Prem previously.

Yeah but you can't pick him twice.

Unless he has a twin.
