Fulham 1-4 Newcastle Sat 1 Oct 15:00

[Sting of the North]

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.

[alfie]

There is only one person to blame and it's not Mike Dean.

[nwg]

Marco for starting Chalobah?...(and Mbabu)...

[ron]

Alas, this looks like a four or five nil.

[davew]

I blame Palhinha!!

[Sgt Fulham]

When it rains it pours. Honestly, love football sometimes.

I'd hear it. DM me if you'd rather. But I don't see any reasonable argument for how a manager picking a player like he has today, and that player being sent off after 5 minutes, isn't to some extent, his fault as well as the pleb who was sent off for a stupid tackle.

[davew]

Should have kept Loftus-Cheek (lol)

[alfie]

If our Portuguese wonder player had not got himself stupidly booked by jumping in with the supporters, we would not have been in this position.

[ChesterTheTabby]

Marco for starting Chalobah?...(and Mbabu)...

Yes, It is Marco's fault. Chalobah did what we knew he would do, and always does, f*ck it all up.

[Jules]

Rarely have I seen this amount of overreactions on here, as I do towards Silva today. I am sure Silva didn't think Chalobah would take a red card after 5 minutes. It is not like he usually does that.

Chalobah deserves the blame fully. Whether he could have otherwise contributed we will never know of course.

Every single fulham fan on earth can see that Chalobah is a terrible, awful, waster of a player. When the team was announced we collectively went... Chalobah... thats a loss. So why should the man paid to pick the team escape the blame when literally all us amateurs can see it coming a mile off

Agree, and I have said all along Chalobah is terrible when people were suggesting he steps in for Palinha. Obviously play Cairney and Reed in the middle. Love Silva but he got that badly wrong today

[Mince n Tatties]

Days Like This Sometimes Happen.

[SerbianLad]

I know I'm stating the obvious, but Chalobah set the tone for the game with a needless tackle and everything has gone downhill from there. This game is over. Hopefully Mitro and Tete will be ready for our next game, otherwise we're in big trouble I fear.

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?

[davew]

Throw in a white towel!

[MisfitKid]

UUUUUUgly

[Mince n Tatties]

Can see this being a 6-0

[CincyFulham1]

BullSh!t

[LC]

This is turning into a training exercise. They've given up, and it's not just the fact that we aren't going to get points today, it's going to hurt our goal difference which could prove the difference come the end of the season

[davew]

Can see this being a 6-0

Not by half time surely?
