Fulham game stats

Interesting reading. Shows how influential Cabaye was first half and Ben Arfa although he set up and scored put us under a lot of pressure

 

Interesting comparing Coloccini (interceptor) and Williamson (tackler), neither of them does both. I'd like to compare that to a game with Saylor, see if he does the same as Willo.

 

I'd like to forget that Fulham ever happened.

 

What's a Fulham?

 

It's like one of this ****s which leave you with a really itchy arse. You know it'll happen some time, the annoyance will be massive for a little while, but you'll get over it, and next time you go, you expect not to end up like a monkey with a vibrator inside him.

 

I apologise, that was a foul analogy. But rather apt, don't you think?

 

Doesnt take a shed load of stats to see that Williamson was abysmal in that 2nd half. Totally out of position for the 2nd and 3rd goals. He should have simply sat back, stayed in line with Colo and asked Fulham to break us down. He made far too easy for them. Shocker.

 

bit harsh to blame willo like. the whole defence were shocking, even colo

did you see the goals?

Colo was not to blame, he was where he should be. Willo decided to break out of defence for the 2nd goal to tackle Johnson and got mugged, he then broke out to close down Zamora for the 3rd and Dempsey ran in behind him. His tackle on Johnson for the 4th goal was pathetic as well. Not to mention the kamikaze high line for the 5th.

He was terrible.

 

And Bano's weekly scapegoat of the match award goes to... Willo.

Willo stated from a press conference in Tenerife: "It's been tough but I've finally managed to break the stranglehold of the gaffer getting this week in, week out. I guess I have to thank Ben Arfa for playing."

 

yeah because colo's amazing slide to let zamora easily round him helped things....

willo was poor yes, i am not denying that, but so were the other 3.

 

Interesting. Now lets move on

 

I don't normally do this, but I agree with Bano. The right hand side of our defense was horribly exposed for the last few goals, and while Colo and Santon didn't cover themselves in glory Willo had a shocker. Bloody hell, there were people on here blaming Shola, I don't think its scapegoating to admit Williamson made some errors.
