twice. They must only play like that against us as that's only their 2nd win in 16 games. Thought crainey and Parker were superb. We need to give ffc some credit. Yes we were appalling, no doubt , which is very odd after the Ipswich performance but I have not seen a team this season get near that performance.
My lad could have run the midfield with the amount of time and space our ridiculous line up gave them!
In the first 10 minutes Fulham looked disorganised at the back and in low spirits as you would expect from a team on such a bad run of form prior to yesterday. We could easily have scored early on and maybe things would have turned out very differently. But once they worked out that: Luongo, Tosser and Phillips were not even going to attempt to tackle in midfield Polter can neither jump or withstand close physical marking they could attack down either wing without Perch or Konchesky closing down our centre backs were having a day off Jamie Mackie is nowhere near as good at making an early cross as he is at fist pumping to the crowd we have successfully cloned sub-par number 10's and could use all of them without disrupting the game one jot then there was only going to be one outcome. To be fair, once they had sussed us some of their attacking football was first class.
To be honest I'm more gutted about the amount of money that's gone down the drain last few years..would had paid for a decent stadium.
Fulham looked weak in defence IMO We handed them that game with a awful team selection yes they may get better after that but Fulham will get thrashed by 3 goals twice IMO in the last 15/16 games Parker can easily get beaten by other midfields The lad upfront however is worth a lot of money and should be playing at the top table he looks the real deal ROss Mc something
Yes, although Fulham are one of the top scoring teams in the division - 47 (Sheff Wed - 49, Burnley - 48, Hull - 47), they have conceded 50 (only bottom 3 are worse), and that accounts for their lowly league position. So they are always going to score, but potentially will concede more goals, so the type of match we needed to win 4-3 and we never came close to that.
Parker and O'Hara even had a laugh during the game, that's how much respect they had for that woeful Rangers performance. Put a few bob on Charlton turning them over next week
They always seem to turn it on against us and will no doubt probaly lose next week to some lower team. However i have no complaints or animosity towards them as they were just better than us for 90mins. We were poor but give them some credit because they played really well.
