Fulham vs Aston Villa match thread

Bailey looks fucked.

[Demitri_C]

Good game.  Draw a fair score.

Bailey and pau been poor. Othwrwise rest have been good. Morgan despite his miss been best player for us.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Rogers and Watkins have cost us this half missing sitters. Bailey is still poor and both Rogers and Ramsey giving the ball away far too often. Other than that, we look solid.

[JUAN PABLO]

we played well but should be 3 2 up

watkins and bailey poor

youri onana and JJ are excellent in midfield


carlos is decent today

rogers causing trouble but got to be scoring that chance and there was that chance that should have been just been rolled across the goaline for a tap in for watkins but Luca over complicated it.

There was one brilliant cross field ball to ramsay , not sure who played it but JJ took it brillant but wasted.

McGinn for Bailey I reckon.

[Rigadon]

I’m glad Bailey got to HT without getting sent off.  He needs to sit the 2nd half out.  I’d bring McGinn on.  The crossing has been a bit crap. 

[SoccerHQ]

Sub Bailey, he’s just not producing anything.

Yeah Bailey is a waste of a shirt at present. I can only think Unai keeps starting him simply due to the balance.

On the other side that's the best I've seen Ramsey play for over 12 months. Been a great outlet and should've had at least one assist.

Get Maatsen and Duran on and we win this.

[Sexual Ealing]

Duran for Watkins, I hope.

Bailey is playing as if he thinks he's getting a kicking and the officials are ignoring it. The one where Berge got him on the foot did look like a foul to me and the booking was really cheap given how many players moan at officials all game without getting anything (for example the complaints from Jimenez when the penalty was originally not given).

I missed the first 5 minutes so haven't seen the goal we conceded but from what I've seen all they've really offered is very quick breaks on the counter-attack. Rogers should've buried his late chance and there have been 3-4 times where the right pass or a better touch would've meant we had a sitter, I hope it doesn't come back to haunt us.

[Keeno]

I'd like to see Maatsen for Digne tbh. The amount of passing/crossing chances we're getting down that left, I feel as though he wouldn't have been as wasteful as Digne has been - the one he could've given Watkins a tap in was as bad as the chance Rogers missed IMO.

[Demitri_C]

Ollie yeah has had a stinker tbh

[SamTheMouse]

McGinn for Bailey I reckon.

I think it might be Philogene, but anyone would be an improvement. Bailey's a temperamental soul and his head clearly isn't in the right place at the moment.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

The crossing has been a bit crap. 

It's been crap for some time now. It's a part of our game that really needs work.

[Percy McCarthy]

And Emi never saves pens for us

…despite all the practise he gets playing in the same team as Cash.

[Sexual Ealing]

A problem with those balls into the box might be that they don't trust Watkins with tap-ins.
