Fulham v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Ross]

Well I cannot see any progression in this side.  Our ability to keep the ball is becoming a joke in the PL. You can only get so far counter attacking and I can't see that these players could progress us further. If this is Lambert's strategy and he won't consider change, I wonder how long before a Stoke / Pulis type decision will need to be made.  We've regressed so far in terms of our play and the transfer and wage budget excuse doesn't wash any more.

[Goldie.7]

Oh well, we're due a defeat

Yeah fuck it i'm past caring

[eric woolban woolban]

I've got two words to say to that.

Shite.



And what's the other one?


Shite.


Cheers Villa another afternoon ruined. Lambert out of his depth and hopefully a job.

[Irish villain]

Merse has just said what most of us have been saying for 2 years.

What he say?

[pauliewalnuts]

We have got to buy a creative player for the middle in January, because we're utterly devoid of ideas there. Like Merson said, we don't have the creativity to play through Fulham, so we're just going to lump it long at Benteke and feed off those scraps.

That was that sort of player we needed to buy last January, but we didn't, and we didn't in the summer, either, so to not buy on in January would be very risky.

[Fergal]

Afternoon chaps, 2-0 how bad is it?

[eastie]

We'll win 4-2.

Similar to reading away when 0-2 down and Carew turned in a mammoth display - we need benteke to do similar , score the next goal and the whole momentum changes .

[atomicjam]

Not a lot in the game in general play for me. We've looked capable of scoring but dodgy defensively without Vlaar. Fulham have played well but have had things go their way. We completely gifted them that 1st goal but I can see why the pen was given. We're not half as bad as some of the doom merchants on here make out though.

Totally agree with this.

[Matt Collins]

He's either gonna go very long. Or bring Tonev on.

I'd go long I think, unfortunately I don't think we're going to get two goals from a different approach.

It's not Herd's fault at all, but if Vlaar is in this side I just don't think we'd be two down.

Guzan at fault for the first. But I've changed my mind on the second - it's definitely not a pen.

[David_Nab]

KEA and Wiemaan not existent not helping

But all in all we need some serious money spent on midfield its so poor

[Goldie.7]

Id bring Weimann on for the 2nd half!

Off you mean

[PGW]

Why let Bacuna stay on the pitch, his guilt for the first goal should see him removed, don't blame him for the penalty ref made i believe the wrong call. Guzan has to share some of the blame for first as well but hard to overly criticise him.

Delph showed why he will not make Woy's England team, his impetuousness is so costly, a mad tackle and now he is suspended for a game that we had hope of winning
for the first time in years.

Lowton on for Bacuna for me as well please,as he is great going forward, leave Weimann on to start with but may have to bring Tonev on for him.

[JUAN PABLO]

Id bring Weimann on for the 2nd half!

[Goldie.7]

Afternoon chaps, 2-0 how bad is it?

[PeterWithesShin]

Off you mean
