Fulham (A) 27/11: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

As we are clearly playing 442, surely Sarabia would have been the far more logical sub, particularly as we were 1-0 down at the time.

 

[The Bear]

Definitely the better side after their goal.

 

[Squeak]

OK first half... just wish we could move it faster when attacking.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Good recovery after appalling first 15 minutes.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Fair score so far. Nobody playing poorly. Lemina the stand out once again. Hwang looks sharp. Should be looking to win this second half.

 

[PuntsWolf]

After a dreadful start where we were getting cut open at ease down the outside of the CBs, we’ve been the better side.

We lack X factor but we’re clearly well drilled. We’re just lacking 1 or 2 better players in attacking situations to turn good patterns of play into goalscoring situations.

 

[Carrotdude]

Is it just me or is Santi Bueno incredibly slow?

 

[Wolftone]

Is it just me or is Santi Bueno incredibly slow?

does he have a weird way of running? Like the effort he's putting in doesn't result in the expected speed?
Like when you're riding a bike in the wrong gear and the pedals are spinning round but you're not travelling very fast
Maybe it's me.

We aren't playing 442, it's the hybrid 3 in defence that switches to a 4 in possession. Either that or leaving my specs at home has truly screwed me

Iwobi looks the same.

 

[YoungWolf]

Pretty dreadful game all round, we’ve been poorly set up just lucky they didn’t take advantage of our garbage first 20.

The odd time we get in their half we look dangerous I suppose.

He should take Doc back off now but he won’t. Proper 0/10 so far from him

I don't agree. Yes Doc helps out, but so does Bellegarde on the other side. RAN and Doc have both been much further forward than Semedo.

Other way round from my view. The players have looked quite confused by it. Doc in particular has no idea where to go

 

[Johnny75]

Has he? He's just done nothing, probably more than i'd expect from him given he's playing LM, it's fucking weird.

He's been terrible, ran the ball out of play twice, doesn't understand what anybody else is doing, frequently making poor decisions, ambling back, hanging a leg out on crosses and having the brain of a toddler off the ball.

He's absolutely wank, I'd sub him off now.

 

[Lycan]

but so does Bellegarde on the other side.

Someone should've reminded him of that in the build up to their goal...

He tried, was just not quick enough un speed of thought.

Definitely switched when Doc came on. We were 4-4-2 in defence and now we've gone full 3-4-3. Doesn't suit Bellegarde very well and I agree Sarabia should be on for the last 30.

He's a very average RWB these days, he was always going to look out of his depth in this position, I'm trying to cut him a bit of slack.

It's a very odd sub given that Bueno and Sarabia are on the bench.

 

[Loki]

Doc is definitely our Achilles heal, let`s hope they haven`t spotted it.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Doc just looks like he’s playing “masters” football the old pros used to play at the NIA. Just everything half pace
