The Footie Thread

We've been crap. This backs to the wall stuff is fine against City and Chelsea, but Palace? No, they'll do you with a set piece like they have done. We needed to get hold of the flipping ball and control the game. Absolutely woeful performance.

You must’ve watched a different game, it was hardly a backs to the wall job! Certainly a Tottenham performance that surprised me.
First half totally dominated possession and creativity, right on the front foot from the off, how it should be.
Second half first 10 minutes was alright, but then Palace, as you would expect came at us. This is the key moment when things need to change with the shape. This 20 minute period saw a swing in the game and momentum.
Palace keeper was superb, despite an error that led to the goal. He pulled off a string of great saves and was Man of the Match.

Liverpool fans not moaning about VAR today then

Disagree with the Sky commentators. That should've been a penalty for Fulham.

Rubbish - you were best first half and we were second half, keeper for us did well

 

[ColchesterFC]

That'll get disallowed for the push on Salah.

EDIT - glad I got that one wrong. Salah made a meal of it.

First half was absolutely fine, then second half at only 1-0 up we took our foot off the gas and sat back when we should have been controlling the game by keeping the ball. The second half was shocking. We didn't start playing again until we conceded.

Thought it was a pen all day long that one.
Carragher is an embarrassment, worst football pundit ever.

imagine the commentary if it had been Andersen on Salah at the other end lol

I agree. Fabinho kicked the Fulham players foot into the ball. It was either a penalty or a goal kick. Absolutely no way it could have been a corner.

And then the commentators making excuses for the Liverpool performance...."it's their 21st match of the season"......."they've had to travel in the Champions League" etc. What a load of crap.

Salah jumps and attempts to play the ball we might not be 1-0 down. Lazy and weak, that.

Two words to sum up the whole of our first half. Lucky to only be 1 down. Could easily be 3+ were it not for the best keeper in the league.

It’s still a push in his back ,both hands.
Very soft yes but the ball then hits Salha and rebounds to a op player.
Shows what happens if you don’t go down when fouled.
Got what we deserved we have been woeful.
TAA looks scared of Lookman.

Salha would not win a tackle with a wet paper bag.
It’s one of the reasons I can’t understand why he comes back for corners .
He should be on the halfway line making them mark him.
He closes down but never puts his foot in.

so disappointing to see Arteta pick the same old side in the prem league despite whats happening and how some of the kids have performed on Thursday nights

how many more times does he need to see the likes of Xhaka, Willian and Lacazette, look forward to us having 50 crosses against Burnley lol

 

[USER1999]

I think I am going to give this one a miss.

Is Arteta trying to get sacked, because it really looks like it.

Obviously hes inherited a dud squad but surely hes got to try something else rather than the same old failures. How Xhaka is still the first midfielder on the sheet each week ill never understand. Wouldve liked to see Smith Rowe, AMN and Nelson all get a game

 

[Deleted member 15344]

rubbish game , not at the races today and scraped a point

 

[clubchamp98]

Well played Fulham .
Best side first half by a mile.
Tactics were spot on second half ,we struggle to break teams down who sit back.
Think we were a tad fortunate could have played all day and not scored.
Hendo got to score there.

 

[USER1999]

For sure, I am sick of seeing Xhaka, Luiz, Willian, Lacazette, and to an extend Bellerin. It's time to move on. I have seen that picture, and know how it ends.

I don't get how they rejected a 20m offer for AMN, but still won't play him. Elneny has surprised me this season, so I would give him time, and I'd like to see Pepe get a 10 game run to either dig himself a hole, or thrive.

Mustafi, Ozil, are done too, and really not sure about Leno.

Auba has time, with the right formation around him.

On the plus side, I really like Gabriel, Tierney, and Partey. Give them a go with the Hale Enders, and let's see where it leads.
