FoF MOTM Fulham 2 V 1 Brighton and post match thread = Wilson

[perry geyton]

Anderson a well earned MOTM for me, Castagne bad passing, Kenny is so much better, Cuenca solid again, Robinson huffing and puffing but crossing woeful per usual, kevin a few bright sparks but faded, ESR playing well no complaints, Berge solid per usual, Iwobi good, Wilson ok game but that free kick 🔥
Raul great hold up play, put in a good shift, Sess far more effective then AR can cross a ball and defended well, TC game changer, came on and steadied the ship took control of the game, Chuck brilliant sign him on a permanent, Josh came on and caused havoc very efficient, Adama did he come on I can't remember ?
Leno quality as always

Don't remember Adama coming on. Mostly agree except Berge who had a stinker and Leno should be doing better at the near post from distance

Did you see how hard he hit that thing, near post or not he absolutely nailed it, NO  one was stopping it

Re Leno. Think the gusting wind had a lot to do with the goals Saturday. Both Leno and their keeper got their hands to the long range goals but both appeared to misjudge the speed of the ball.

Likewise Dunks and Andersons great long balls seemed to hang in the air longer than expected because of the wind. From our angle it appeared Andersons kick was going to be headed clear by the Brighton defender but it just seemed to hang in the air for longer than expected.

As an ageing centre back, the wind behind long balls is a nightmare. Difficult to judge and hard to back pedal at the same speed that your opponent can run forwards. If the wind holds the ball up (as in ball is hit into the wind) it's so easy to win every ball as (a CB) you're running onto a stationary ball in mid air.

It caused havoc at the weekend and surprised we didn't see more long balls in the 2nd half (from us).

Although I voted for Harry, a special word for Joachim.  Apart from his lovely pass to Chuk, looking at the replay online today I had not noticed at the time that Joachim had won the ball really well then released Josh King who was fouled to give Harry his free kick opportuity.
