Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

HT - we’ve been second best but have had a couple of looks. They aren’t great when pushed back and we have to take advantage of that.

HT.

We can do these.

I don't think the way we're set out is too bad considering the fact we're away, the opposition and the players out, but Christ we've picked the worst out of our three strikers to play that role. Baffling from Bruce.

1 shot on target so far today.

1 goal will win this if there is one.

They look dodgy at the back, but we look tame up front.
Would like Ohare as an option.

[Risso]

Lack of quality from both teams.  Snoddy looks massively less effective on the left, and Elmo is rubbish as a winger.  Bjarnason only has a fraction of Jack's attacking ability so no surprise we haven't troubled their keeper yet.

Defended well, not that they've offered anything.

Axel has Sessingon in his pocket. Hourihane is the weak link at the moment. Too deep and not getting close to Hogan.

Elmo has wasted a few opportunities to get the ball in. Very even, but they're falling over all the time.

[CT Villan]

A professional first half, keeping things tight but also creating a couple of chances too. Not sure if I want Bruce to open the game up going for the win as we could be vulnerable to their quick passing and moving.

[Risso]

Hourihane is the weak link at the moment.

Worldy goal aside, Hourihane has been disappointing for ages now.

[russon]

It’ll finish 1-1. Snodgrass for us and Terry OG for them, you heard it here first.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We've pressed them well throughout and Fulham have mainly gone into their shells when we do. Jokanović is likely to change it around second half so we'll need to adjust. It's a shame both Hogan and Bjarnason have bananas for feet as both get in great positions but no end result. It's almost comical.

Very impressed with Axel but overall I can't see where a goal is going to come from. Attacking the Villa end second half, it would be a thing of beauty to see them all celebrating behind the goal.

Hourihane is the weak link at the moment.

I think he is being asked to run around a lot.

Onomah is coming on.
