Was it impossibly hot there today? Most of our players played like they were in a sauna. Fulham, with little or nothing to play for, brought more desire and intensity to the game and deserved to win. We did create and miss some gilt edged chances but they were more moments created by individual quality rather than anything sustained. I thought today exposed that we do need to change some personnel out of the squad over the summer. Warm day and most of our players were stuck to the ground.
My biggest moan is reserved for Emery. his faith in Bogarde badly misplaced again and leaving our most in form centre back on the bench. But he made a complete mess of the subs, timing of them particularly but they made no sense anyway. Sancho and Bailey, Luiz and Barkley, Tammy barely even 10 mins. Maatsen left sitting.
Martinez 6, Cash 5, Konsa 4, Torres 1, Digne 1, Bogarde 1, Tielemans 4, McGinn 4, Buendia 4, Rogers 5, Watkins 5. Luiz and Tammy were lively off the bench. Can't remember much from the other three.
