Leeds simply came for a point and knew that the chance of break and 3 points would always be on

There is nothing wrong with playing like that and they got their rewards

As I said earlier my only beef with this is it’s now happening in a lot of games so as an entertainment product it isn’t working imho

I would love to know how much time the ball spent in play over the 90 mins - I think fans deserve to see a minimum of 60 mins in play

Also like the idea Pique (?) bandying around of 0 points for a 0-0 draw 1- point for score draws

The ref allowed the time wasting without a single card and then 5 minutes were added… A constant quiet word with the offender which actually helps them waste more time <laugh>. We were terrible but it was a joke.
 
how we play has happened too many times to be because the opposition defended well.

Apart from the sideways header from Etikite, how many times did we get near a cross? How many times did we slow play down and allow them to get organised? How many passes into the path of a running attacker? You can change the players as much as you like, this is going to continue and Slot’s ‘small margins’ insinuation is complete BS and will mask the real issues with the coaching and his style of play.

Just my opinion, obvs <whistle>
 
The amount of manhandling in the box generally has become ridiculous. It's more like rugby. League or Union! What constitutes a foul seems entirely arbitrary.
Except in Rugby Union they have got the var equivalent well and truly sorted.I really am starting to think it's corruption.

CHRIS SUTTON IS SITTING ON THE FENCE FOR THIS 1: 1 DRAW1
  • Craven Cottage, 15:00
Fulham did really well over Christmas, especially when you consider they have lost key players to the African Cup of Nations.

Liverpool must be massively disappointed with their display and result against Leeds, after the upturn in their performances in the past couple of weeks.

Like a lot of teams, Arne Slot's side are maybe short of energy at such a busy time of year, and are lacking the spark they need.

They lost here last season, and Fulham will fancy a repeat result. I'm not sure about that, but I do think Marco Silva's side will get something from the game.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Andrew's prediction: This should be a great game. Fulham are in good form and they will have a real go at Liverpool. 2-2

AI's prediction: 0-2
 
I just don't know what system or way we're trying to play.It looks like we just wing it and hope.
At least with Klopp we had an identity to the way we played.
If Slot was a colour he'd be Beige.

Positive spin; if you don't know then Fulham don't know
 
I suspect Fulham will edge this one in a very poor game. Wilson is bound to score from a free kick.

Then Arsenal will hammer us and we will drop to 7th in the league.
