    Salah looks really slow today.

    No trust.

    I mean he's not playing 10 here. He's out on the right hanging about.

    Why have we gone to a back 3 with Bradley when he was the only giving attacking threat from deep… lost all kind of shape now.

    not sure slot really has this worked out, few times now he’s just thrown on all the forwards and we lost all kind of shape.

    we were dominating and doing fine, no need to dramatically change things.

    Just random throw stuff at it.

    Anything rather than haul salah off.

    Pure Rodgers level coaching.

    He might get lucky.

    First half was disappointing. We lost the game there.

    We are only in it due to the Fulham disease of dropping off.

    Bradley suddenly sitting deep. Vvd only one back and being marked so unable to make any passes.

    Just dont get it. There’s a reason why teams don’t play 5 up front it’s because you need depth to any attack. Having 5 forwards standing next to their 5 defenders isn’t helping anyone.

    Reminds me of Middlesboro maybe about 15 years ago now... They had one run in one of the European cups where Everytime they went behind they threw on every forward they had... And for a while it was amusingly working for them.

    This is what i mean about Elliott.

    Not once has he tried to go forward.

    Every pass from put wide right is backwards.

    We are losing. You must go forward.

    Fulham only defending so you tear your side apart by taking the lb who could stand at cb off.

    Then push Bradley to cb who was actually attacking

    Salah should have been off at ht. He is still there stinking the place out.

    6 mins stoppage.

    I recently fired up FM 2014. It's amusing seeing the 1 min and 2 min average stoppage times from that era.

    We need the 6.

    We also have gravenberch hanging round at lcb doing nothing. Where Robertson could still be standing.

    Awful but at least as a left footer he was offering some width on the overlap when we’re dominating the ball.

    To take him off and then put Bradley as a CB just seemed so counter intuitive to what we’re trying to do and just threw off the whole balance.

    Yeah but theres still no need to take him off then. He can just stand at lcb if you want someone playing left win.

    Not enough time.

    0 points. Not the end of the world... But we need to not collapse every game. I worry more about next season than this one. Our trajectory has been weakening.

    Salah playing in slow motion today. Szobo and Andy Rob particularly poor today.

    Congrats to Fulham, they deserved the win today.
