FoF MOTM Fulham 2 v 1 Chelsea and post match thread = Wilson

[jayffc]

Are we safe from relegation yet?

Marco out!

[blingo]

Wilson, but Kevin is getting better by the game. Watch this boy when he gets a goal in his locker.
Great result.

[General]

Big game from Wilson who is in red hot form once again. Doesn't help with his wages demands mind you!

Brilliant from Kevin and Sess too

The subs were too late but when they finally came they made a difference thankfully. Wasnt sure about Sess for Robinson but it turned out to be a genius move.

Would love for that to have been more comfortable than it was but my god, despite AFCON + king weve churned out another brilliant result , granted, massively helped by the red card today 😅

Absolutely love it

Leeds

AFCON boys return.
Then it's

Brighton
United
Everton

Huge opportunity to position ourselves in the race going into February

Don't forget muniz, Tete and King to come back too.

And hopefully some January reinforcements

[Snibbo]

Special shout out to Sessegnon who invigorated us in 2nd half, combined really well with Kevin. Thought Robinson was awful today, passing was woeful and poor header on the goal.

It was an awful performance by Robbo. Consistently giving the ball away. He's always been the better left back, but on this showing Sess should get the nod.

[General]

We are now 3rd in the league over the last 6 games, and 4th over the last 10

[Down by the river]

Fantastic result. Listened on Talksport they seemed gutted that Fulham had beaten the Chelsea all stars especially that Minto idiot. Please report the match without bias.
THERE'S ONLY ONE TEAM IN FULHAM!

[MisfitKid]

All I can say is a win is a win.
I think we need to play more from the left and cross the ball in. 🙄
And get Harry signed...

[OZ-WHITE]

Massive 3 points in front of a run of games where we could plunder more and maybe get to 6th . 1st half Chelsea were trying to force their way with an overlap through the middle , we coped with that ok but were too slow with passing and over possessed at times , then the game changed with the Red card to Cucurella , we finished the 1st half just not being aggressive enough despite the Wilson offside goal. 2nd half again not aggressive enough and over possessed at times , we then managed to build some pressure and Raul with a strong header for the lead, they made a change in tactics with quicker more direct passing and equalized ,  Silva then made some changes which stabilzed the game and we maintained more control and Wilson with a vital goal to secure the win

[Rightwhite]

Wilson is a man possessed at the moment. He gets my vote. COYW

[fancyfeet4]

It was our 5th game in 17 days and we are lacking depth. There was tired legs out there and Robinson was probably one of them. The red card was of course enormous and probably the reason we got 3 points. I think 11v11 at the end of a string of games, it was going to be extreemly difficult to get a win.

Wilson is just magic and is so much more consistent than last year. I was dubious he was a game-in-game-out starter, but he has proven me so wrong.

Also Jiminez in a warrior. The guy battles every match and we are lucky to have him.

What a great day.

[The Rock]

It's funny how different people see the same match. I thought that it was a very tired slow display from Fulham but the sending off probably decided the match. My heart was in my mouth every time that they got a corner

Agreed, it wasn't our best game.

Sadly, the 5cm rule wasn't enforced for some reason today. It's not a game of margins apparently?

[Dodgin]

Great to beat our rival neighbours, second half was nail-biting, sometimes looked like we had the ten men. Best result of the season.

[sarnian]

I think credit is also due to Marco for changing the system at halftime from a 5 at the back to a more attacking 4 at the back.  Bringing on Kevin and taking off Cuenca, who was on a yellow, was a good decision. 

Right decision as Chelsea were looking to get Cuenca sent off but I thought it unbalanced our defence and Chelsea had much more space. However Kevin gets better every game and unlucky not to score.

[Ludlow Richard]

Are we safe from relegation yet?

No. But no team in PL history has gone down having gained 31 points at this stage of the season

Completely agree.
We looked worse defensively but better in attack. I suppose unsuprisingly. If cuenca hadn't been on the yellow I suspect it might have been Diop of, Who was still decent. But on the balance you could just see Chelsea cheating their way to a red there

[SuffolkWhite]

Wilson for me also, it's always a great win against Chels.

Raul was much more than 5cm offside

[hongkongfulham]

Extremely happy, The red card really gave us that result as we looked din trouble the first 20 minutes. Very smart from Leno to release Harry like that

How good were Sess and Kevin together? Sliced them upon at will down the left when they were sat deep which is usually a big problem point for us.

Stamford bridge is falling down....

[SerbianLad]

Not our best performance, not our worst. Incredible team spirit and effort from everyone involved. Special mentions to Leno, who made some excellent saves, Berge, for an all around decent performance and what I believe was his first ever direct goal contribution in a Fulham shirt and obviously to our match winner and my MOTM Wilson. He got Cucurella sent off with a brilliant run(good pass from Leno there too), even if I feel it was very stupid from Cucurella to foul him there but I don't mind the gift from him, and obviously a brilliant goal. Also Raul battled hard as always and scored a great header.

On to the next game, let's hope this run continues for a long time. COYW!!!

[Twig]

Obviously Wilson. But credit to several decent performances; Berge was excellent and showed a bit more adventure today, Leon's varied distribution helped us be less predictable, Cuenca solid, Jimenez' stamina amazing, Kevin starting to look like a player.
I also wanted to mention Sess who made a huge difference when he came on and his understanding and link ups with Kevin look very exciting indeed.
