Fulham (H) match thread

[DJLJ]

4 - 0. Good day at the office.

[Anubis]

Luis and Enrique have got some brotherly love going there.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Enrique is a beast!

 

We definitely need another left back still. Keeping the competition up for that spot is needed. He has been superb lately. Better than when he joined, even.

[Jhinge Machha]

[Red Phoenix]

Great result, well played to all of them.

[Gym Beglin]

Great result today, and as much as I want to call Fulham shite, I won't.

That's what United do, they make teams like Fulham look shite, they fall apart, and that's what we did to them today.

 

I still like the look of that Frei lad for Fulham, I think we should be keeping an eye on him.

[Heinze]

Class by Enrique and a well deserved goal for Luis.

[Evil_Ways]

We needed that. Excellent allround performance.

[LFC 6 Times]

Delighted for Luis there, he was genuinely ecstatic to get the goal, he hadnt scored for a while so it will do the world of good for him. Good day at the office, everyone played well now on to Stoke.

[Heinze]

So do we sell or keep Downing?

[Carvalho Diablo]

So do we sell or keep Downing?

 

We sell the useless sack of shit.

[Anubis]

Fulham may not be great, but we contributed to them looking poor by virtue of just a few changes that saw a better balanced midfield, and a clear determination to put effective possession over simple possession for possession's sake. The determination to move the ball forward quickly rather than a slow build up, coupled with actually pressing for possession up the pitch, and we looked far more effective and likely to score.

[DooooodekNo5]

Just what we needed , was nice to sit through the game without getting stressed , could and should of had 2 or 3 more but who cares.

[Anubis]

So do we sell or keep Downing?

 

Sell, especially if there is any chance of Walcott.

[magicrat]

Feeling like crap at the moment with a cold and that really cheered me up. Great performance.

[G Richards]

Glad Luis got his goal as it has been a few weeks for him. Strong running by Enrique. That was a good day. Sterling got a rest and he looked fresher when he came on. Suso got more experience. Downing played very well. Stevie looked at it. Pepe kept a clean sheet.

 

All in all a very good day. We were due a comfortable win at some point.

 

There is a five point gap between where we are and several other teams vying for that fourth spot. So we have a lot of work to do to get in the fight. Hopefully we will get a goalscorer in January and they will bed in quickly and help us to finish teams off. That will give us half a chance.

good win the midfield looks better shape with shelvey instead of allen enrique was immense roll on stoke now were due a win a that shitehole in the keague

I think that the 'no allen' selection took Fulham by surprise, because it looked like their whole gameplan was to get at Allen. When he came on, Fulham jumped on him. Before that, they were just scrambling around trying to work out how to stop us, and failing.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Sell, especially if there is any chance of Walcott.

 

Absolutely. He's 28 and had a poor year and a half, even by his own standards, it's going to take more than one game against Fulham to fix it.

[Barzini]

Great performance and nice to watch us have an easy win for once, good for the blood pressure. Downing motm for me, never thought I'd be saying that. Nice to see Stevie get a goal too, if only he'd get in the box more often I'm sure he'd get a few more. I liked the shift Suso put in, he didn't really get the run of the ball much but was a constant pain in the arse for Fulham closing down defenders and putting in a few tackles.

 

Anyway, nice to get a win. Merry fucking Christmas.

[UnwelcomeinPeru]

The internet signal at Anfield is a law to itself.

 

Why did Allen come on? I wasn't really paying attention. Shelvey had a nothing of a game though, would have preferred to see JH come on.

 

It looked a great pass for the 2nd goal.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

If only we'd turned around a couple of those results we deserved, we could be as high as third. Fucking hell, need to keep on pushing. Need to learn from the mistakes of last transfer window and do everything we can to get quality attackers into the club.

[jonnybastard]

So do we sell or keep Downing?

 

Too little too late to erase the last 18 months. If someone offers actual cash money for him, then he's gone. If not, and it's a real possibility that no-one will be interested, then we'll see if today's performance was a one off or the player we bought finally remembered what he's paid for.

[Coro]

Downing like Henderson has been quietly improving all season.

 

That's why it's good to give players a bit of leeway and time to settle.

 

Hopefully we will be saying the same about Allen and Borini next year as they have shown potential.

 

Now is the time to place your trust in the manager to get the best out of them.

 

Dead straightforward this football supporter lark.

[Barzini]

Never mind all this bollocks, is xerxes back from the match yet?

 

I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep unless he confirms that he made it back safe and sound.

 

God speed.
