Match Day Thread Fulham FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 22nd November 2025 - KO 15:00

Agree with all of that. On the ref, it seemed like a switch went off in his head depending on if we had the ball or Fulham did. When we had the ball, he would apply the new guidelines where more contact is allowed and not every contact is a foul. When Fulham had it, it reverted to last year's where every touch against their players falling down is a foul.

It has been refreshing to get the rub of the green from refs as a promoted side but yesterday felt like a step back to X are the established PL side so I'll favour them.

 

Back 4 next week, please

Mukiele - Ballard - Alderete - Reinildo​

 

Agree. I thought we missed Alderete moving it forward. I thought Hume was injured a few minutes before the goal. We almost got away with a point on a bad day.

 

worth a go with that 442 shape were very familiar with

le fee with the striker and talbi or adingra rig he

 

Yep, it’s a pity Alderete didn’t get any game time with Paraguay as I think he might have played yesterday.
I’ve not been convinced that Hume and Mukiele have quite got that right side sorted, even more so when Mukiele is also taking long throws both sides of the pitch. Not so much yesterday but with an eye on January it certainly seems that we aren’t convinced in the currently available options in the absence of Diarra.
Hope we can get a good week under our belts and are right at it from the off against Bournemouth ahead of a tough December fixture list.

 

Still twke 17th, just keep thr gap to Leeds and Burnley. We need to improve with the ball, everyone just seemed off it yesterday. Could barely string anything, think we could do with another midfield option in January.
