Man Utd 1-2 Fulham - 24 Feb

[Super Mick]

VAR is a disgrace.  How the Maguire challenge isn't deemed a red I've no idea.  Oh, it's only little old Fulham of course.  Classic.  If that was Lukic on Maguire would've been sent off straight away.

Fairly typical Fulham performance though isn't it? Doing everything but score and you just know they'll get a goal against the run of play to break our hearts.

Maguire consistently gets away with reds.

Playing well, and we were the better team for 40 minutes. Iwobi guilty of missing a few opportunities. Muniz probably our best player.

Need to make better use of our set pieces. Quite a few hit their first man. Need to give Bassey, Tosin etc a chance in the air.

Sadly we look vulnerable to route 1, and are often the agents of our own downfall by failing to clear it.

I suspect the inevitable 1-0 or 2-0 from Man United, and when they score the first it'll be "business as usual". However, I hope we keep up the pressure and we score the first goal to continue to make a game of it.

2 also hit muniz, who nearly scored from one to be fair though

[Texas White]

Cast iron RED by Mcguire - imagine if that was Paulinha at OT ??
Then the booking on Pereira - what on earth for ?

Dissent.

Pereira mouths off as much as any other player in the league.

It's just frustration and the crazy decisions. How was Maguire not red..

[WindyCity]

Muniz really looking dangerous out there, several great chances.  Also some nice hold up play.
Worry about the long ball, we seem vulnerable.
That Garnacho really a good player, seems like he's all over the place.

FFC should be leading, we've had the best chances so far.  But having missed those chances, can sometimes spell an undesirable result.

like most on here supsect, united are gonna up their game, there were signs towards the end of the first half.
has the chance gone?
i can feel the script has already been written

same as filham.


saying that just had a decent attack resulting in a corner so who knows

[wback]

Extraordinarily dumb we're not ahead. This game has been so easy for us, finding space in midfield, breaking forward etc.

Can't see that changing this half - our bench is stronger, and our manager just as good.

We just need to take a chance, then I think we'll get another on the break as their crowd gets frustrated. They only have one player - Garnacho, the rest offer little in terms of threat.

Let's go.

ref bought that challenge from reed. wasnt half as bad as utd player made out

[MisfitKid]

Manure at Manure, Maguire is never a red.

i didnt mean the heading incident, meant the challenge before

[davew]

McTominay on to score for them, watch this space!

[MisfitKid]

another one, gone
how many breakaways..

[TC's Sporran]

well no evidence of the man utd onslaught.
still in this.  and that should have been a goal surely?

i also cant believe the powder puff challenges with minimal contact being given as fouls compared to in the earlier championship game where the ref allowed a fair amount of physical contact

[TC's Sporran]

they arent very good are they

[Nittany_Joe]

Far too many passes. Take a damn shot!

In baseball terminology, Fulham have a lot of singles hitters and no homerun sluggers.

Games calling out for Cairney now

Someone with that killer pass or finish when it matters

i think while the game hangs in the balance silva will be reluctant to make any changes unless forced

[St Eve]

We can take all 3 points here
