Fulham v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

That was absolute garbage! First half cancelled each other out and then it was up to who could be arsed to win the game. Not us clearly and can’t recall a tackle. Can’t stand losing but cannot tolerate absolute lack of effort....everywhere. X

As soon as you see Jota and Lansbury on the same teamsheet, you know the team is going to get bullied.
We have far too many mediocre players in the first-team squad!
Today was a chance for Smith to consolidate the 3-5-2 set-up and get the players more familiar with it (especially the keeper); and so he selects donkeys and plays them in the soft-centred 4-3-3 comfort blanket that he appears to have.

Not good enough ... not because we lost but because we went down without even a whimper.

I've seen better days.

And there are never any 50/50 challenges in our games, as soon as one of our players is involved it becomes 90/10 to the opposition. Fucking weak.

[HolteLower]

To be honest despite losing I'm not really bothered. The focus has to be on the Prem. Did someone say we go again :-)

I guess today shows how much rebuilding was needed in the summer. 10 new faces in and the squad is still poor for this level. Whatever league we are in come May another overhaul is needed.

I found it odd we didn't stick with our shape.

You cant play 433 with so little pace or presence in the front 3. Too many passengers and lightweights in the loosest of all presses.

[Jon Crofts]

I'd rather have had the moody bastard Bjarnsson than Lansbury on that showing.

[Smirker]

We didn't care about this game and it showed.

Roll on Wednesday.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment about Lansbury and Jota. I don’t really agree about them being bullied.
What you do know is they are going to be outplayed, out worked and out ‘efforted’. You don’t need to bully them.
Lansbury in particular is just a total and utter waste of time.

I know no one made but a ticket, or train fare to Fulham, of course it’s my choice, but ducking hell that was dire. Why do I care, if it seems they don’t??? Only my self to blame & more important games, as I am sure some people will tell me. FFS

I had a post game Mocha too. I'm nearly as big a c*** as Lansbury. The games gone.

My son didn't wake up till 9:45 either. He is 4. This would have been my biggest lie in since April 2015. Unheard of to get to half 7, never mind 9:45. But I got up early to watch that shit instead. Fucking hell Villa.

Still annoys me when we go out.

I get angrier about it as I get older. I'm 40 this July and am starting to feel my age. My dad was 14 the last time we won the cup and he's 77 now.
