    It's as if he thinks that being taken off is a reward for playing well.

    Well I'd rather someone else was in charge of the team. But I guess just having someone else in charge of the subs would be a start!

    So possibly our two most effective players are taken off and the pressures ramping up...

    Lucky Fulham are ****, because they probably deserve to be back in this.

    All the complainers: what would you have done instead?

    Hojbjerg's been struggling slightly since he got clattered by McCarthy - was the obvious choice to bring off. So what would you have done if not Lemina?

    Every passing second Fulham get closer and closer to snatching a draw.

    Same subs he makes every time. Gabbi will come on now for five minutes and clueless analysts will say “he hasn’t scored in x games”.

    Yet again we have no one to hold the ball up and relieve the pressure that is building.

    I didn’t see him struggling. Davis for Lemina.

    Gabbi for Long in the 86th minute is such an example of this. I'm sure the vast majority of us could have predicted that before KO. Even before the team was named.

    Pellegrino manages like I do on FM. Make the same subs in the same minute every game.

    I won the champions league with Saints in the 2018/19 season btw so clearly we are onto something

    Or even Davis for Gabbi if we fancy a second.

    I'd have brought Lamina on for Davis, brought on Gabbiadini earlier.

    Edit: and if replacing Boufal because I believe him to be tired, I'd have gone with Sims, who is better on the counter than Redmond will ever be.

    Gabbiadini gets 5 minutes. Just **** off Pellegrino - what can he do in 5 minutes?

    For me one of the worrying things is that if our plan is to absorb pressure and break away - why does it look like we've never practised breakaways?

    Gets to play just outside our area as ever, because we’re under massive pressure.

    The exception to the "Failing to prepare" rule in that he really does prepare to fail if you're right.

    We're only winning this game because Fulham are worse in front of goal than us. Absolute garbage again.
