Fulham vs Aston Villa match thread

Definitely judging it on Bailey. Either to protect the linesmen or the decision was his play was interfering in some way.

Pre match:

"OMG EMERY IS CLUESSLESS FOR PLAYING TIELEMANS AT DM LOLZZZ."

Match starts and Tielemans is playing as our most advanced central midfielder by a long way.

So useful sometimes to actually see what formation we're playing before criticising the manager.

Overall we've looked pretty decent and should be winning by far more than 1-0. That Moreno one looked on to me so let's hope it's not a case of VAR f***ing us over and Fulham scrambling a goal from a set piece as this would be a big two points dropped in the season.

The good news is the doom and gloom around our injuries is nothing when you have Unai the magnificent in charge

[JUAN PABLO]

Got to be finishing these chances

Offside line wasn't even parallel with the 6 yard line.

I don't see how you can see that and say they're judging it on Bailey. It's the back of the Fulham players heel, if it was Bailey the line would be even further across. I don't think it's the howler people think it is. I think you can debate where Moreno's shoulder is but not the heel.

You can see that they've drawn the line from Moreno, still looks a pretty ropey decision.

Those lines aren't even straight and Bailey was nowhere near the play?

We have looked decent and I'm so grateful to see us creating chances. It really helps to be a goal up and have the opponent come at us. You wouldn't think we were hanging on in terms of injuries. We've had the ball in the net three times and hit the bar. Come on Villa.

Any working link to the goal please?

Not sure the criticism here. He would have been clueless playing him there. He didn't so he isn't clueless. Even the BBC had him playing there in the formations for the match until quite awhile into the match.

VAR nonsense once more. They do not have a fucking clue what they are doing. Love to hear the audio...

Anyway, playing well, still look vulnerable at the back. Rocky start from SJM but ge improved and JJ getting better with every match.

Still working as of now. Be quick

That VAR offside, if it happened against one of the usual suspects, would be a scandal that would be discussed for weeks.  It's such a howler.   

We've wasted a few amazing breakaways that it makes me very nervous.  We just aren't clinical enough at the moment (Sheffield aside).
