Fulham v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[lovejoy]

TalkSPORT had Tielemans being sent off so quite relieved to find out the true story.

Didn't watch but sounds pretty impressive, to me. Wins like that would have been miraculous a few years ago and seem routine, now.

[WarszaVillan]

Excellent result. Fulham didn't have a shot on goal after the penalty. Tielemans man of the match for me.

Haha, Talksport couldn't find their own arse with two hands. 

[passport1]

As predicted . Normal service resumed. Onwards and upwards!!

[Percy McCarthy]

Fantastic result considering we have a huge game coming up. Well done everyone for being so focused.

Exactly two years ago tomorrow we were demolished down there and it was thankfully Slippy's last game.

Ridiculous thing is that night we had 6-7 playing who were involved today so shows the sabotage he was producing to the squad on a weekly basis.

Was slow start for us but I thought we were comfortably the better team for rest of the game. Could see at 1-3 and red card we decided to just conserve energy.

The penalty being scored could've changed things but Emi well overdue saving one in the prem.

Talksport too busy with adverts to concentrate on any sport!!
The turning point today was the penalty save. After that only one team was going to win and did!!

Great result, the league table is looking familiar. A win on Tuesday and we are in for some season I'd say.

[manic-road]

Good performance and top result. Deserved the win and controlled most of the match with Tielemens being fantastic again.

Brilliant finish from Ollie with the header, crap from the ref at the end by trying to even up Fulhams earlier red card with such a soft second yellow for Jaden.

[supertom]

Not our best performance, not our worst. We were good value in the end. Their keeper was busier. We tried to conserve at 3-1, and a man up but ended up too much on the back foot. Jaden was unlucky to go off I thought because the second was really soft (some suggestion his complaints might have been more the cause than a pinky push). In actuality, I thought Digne was lucky not to have had an earlier booking before his eventual yellow. That was "more" a double booking than Jaden's two for me.

I would have liked us to have put them to the sword a little more really rather than sitting off, but Fulham didn't have enough to really test Emi.

Bailey isn't right. Dunno if it's still something he's carrying or just a lack of confidence. When you play with zip and pace and get an injury it can make you hold back your top gear a little.

I'll be interested to see how we line up for Bologna. Cash was knackered at the end so I wonder if we might opt for Konsa on Tuesday.

We beat a good team though. Did the job. Dare I say, for our aspirations it's the kind of routine win we should be getting.

[Hookeysmith]

Thought Torres was pathetic for thier goal.
Carlos MOTM for me. Did everything right.
Watkins was crap but an exceptional header.
Bailey was old self, lose the ball and wave arms about.
Tielemans superb again and Onana got through a lot of work.
Cash frustrates as usual.
Digne excellent
Martinez..it just expected now.
Ramsay in and out
Rogers good in spurts but not commanding

Overall a great wi against a very decent side

[Exeter 77]

A good comeback from being a goal down which was a poor one to concede. Two of our goals had an element of fortune but Ollie's was a great header. It was a poor penalty but it still had to be saved. Both of Philogene's yellow cards looked a bit soft when compared to a few other tackles in the game particularly the one when Jimenez clattered Matty Cash when Emi got to a cross before both of them early in the second half.

[KRS]

If Man Utd get their rat face soft as shit red cards reversed then surely Jaden has a good case for his to be overturned too?

[cdbearsfan]

You can't overturn two yellow cards.
