We've been poor, but if we had Ali in nets we'd be looking at 2-0 at half time and hoping to come out and turn up the pace. Instead we're walking out knowing Kelleher is going to let them get at least one more and wondering where our goals are coming from. We can't hope for a third worldy and our front 3 can't find each other at all.

I don't think kel could have done anything about the second. It was fucking awful letting the flick on from the corner to happen. It fell to the scorer and he was only 3 yards out. Keeper was unlucky but the first one through his legs was bad. He pulled off a good save, again from free header from another corner, and only fulham players were following it in. Our defending today has been fucking terrible. We look jittery, panicky and have zero control. Very few runners are being tracked either. They're getting way too many fucking corners.

Virgil and matip need to sort it fucking out back there. Nunez, whilst not getting much service, has been bad. Diaz hasn't beaten his man once.

It's all just a bit crap.

Attitudes need to change as this is unacceptable, if we want to challenge for the league.

Games like this are OK if you're just hoping to scrape top 4.

Absolutely shocking first half that, piss poor performance and I’d say we’re lucky to be level. Thankfully we have players now that can shoot from distance, a very nice thing when nothing else is working.

 

That said, attacking wise it hasnt been terrible, probably more like average.

 

Defensively though it has been as bad as the worst spells last season. Giving the ball away in your own half at this level is normally gonna cost you. Matip had two of those against City and one today, even if today Salah and others have to share the blame on their first goal. Others have done it as well, Nunez with a terrible crossfield ball.

 

Gravenberch our best player by some distance imo, the way he receives the ball between the lines, turns and brings it forwards has been brilliant.

 

Apart from that a lot of poor performances. Wouldn’t say Kelleher has been very poor, but on the other hand if Alisson was in goal chances are we’d be two up at half time.

 

We look likely to score more goals, unfortunately so do they. Unless we get out act together they’re as likely to win it as we are.

Nuñez has been utter turd.  Any attack we have breaks down when he gets involved.  His performance is worse than his hair.

 

In case anyone doesn't appreciate Salah"s defensive work, this is what we look like when he decides not to put a shift in.

 

Hook Nuñez. Get Gakpo on. Give everyone else a kick up the arse. Get this won.

Forget challenging teams of Arsenal and City’s quality, Villa could be ahead of us by the end of the day.
 

It’s hard to stay optimistic that we’ll hold off Newcastle and remain in the top four for long if we add Fulham at home to the list of winnable games we’ve cocked up this season.

The game isn't over you know.
