Official Matchday Thread: Fulham vs Nottingham Forest - Weds 6th December

[SparrowsAnus]

Confidence has drained completely from everyone. You can see it. Players hiding from the ball, always playing backwards. Something needs to change.

 

[congo_red_49]

I got pelters at the start of the season for saying the starting 11 was weaker.

People disagreeing with you is not ‘getting pelters’.

 

[Col Steve Austin]

Guys, this is coaching.

I'm afraid I have to agree.

 

[JustinL]

COME ON FOREST !!!

 

[Major Oak Morgan]

Not enough movement in the final third.

 

[EmmersonForest4]

Really? They passed through our defence and moved well to create the space for themselves and both were well finished. Aside from the individual errors there wasn't really much our other players could have done better

We were overloaded against because we gave the ball away so cheaply. We are never afforded that sort of time and space cause other sides are much better than us and don’t make as many dogshit errors.

Delighted that we are being given the honour of playing our part in Iwobis testimonial

Hope to see you at Plymouth on a cold Wednesday night next season.

You too mate

FGUCKING AWFUL CORNER HOLY SHIT

 

[Statto]

He has picked Sangare who’s been consistently average. Yates should have been playing in that spot all season.. No fight here and apparently better players playing worse week in week out and still getting picked, that’s was wrong here..

Sangare cost us 30m though, I agree he hasn't showed it yet but he won't without playing.

If he carried on picking Yates over him people would be saying why he didn't pick our 30m record signing at all

 

[adam09]

Even that last play. Hudson Odoi, far too many touches and then Toffolo takes the shittest corner possible.

At least we might be able to get a ticket to an away game again.

Saying I’m deluded and have my opinions just because we haven’t signed Henderson.

 

[DizzyBala]

If I'm Steve, I'm going back to what worked last year at half time.
Sangare has been shite again.

Sangare off for Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi off for Niakhite.

Vlachidimos
Felipe Niakhite Murillo
Aina |--------------------------| Toffolo
Mangala Dominguez
Gibbs-White
Origi Elanga​

The grass isn't always greener on the other side though is it? We still have plenty of injuries and who knows how many have been ill and are below par.

Cooper still has a load of new-ish players to settle in, wants to be more ball dominant compared to last season, and this takes time to work. It's also likely that whilst this does get worked out there will be a dip in results.

More to the point i can't think of anyone who might do a better job and not be a total f***ing gerrard. We saw with the sides who went down last year that sacking a manager who has been good but is in a bit of a rut doesn't always work.

Can't keep beating that same drum, he's unable to get a tune out of this lot so there are probably plenty who are capable of doing a better job. Difficulty comes in picking the right one though!

Did the kitman label the boots wrong?

 

[PynchonForest]

Unless things change dramatically in half two we know what is coming tomorrow.

 

[Colbackstreet Boys]

God this is so sad. They just don't want to be here, do they?

With the exception of two or three, I will never, ever forgive the cowards who have had the gall to pull on the Garibaldi the past few weeks. Not a shred of professionalism or responsibility between them. They have been a disgrace and are forcing the curtain down on what has been one of the best chapters at the club in my lifetime.

If you don't want to be here you know where the door is. Just f*** off.

 

[ben_b]

Why has Elanga been moved right wing he nearly got in a few times early on. Hudson Odoi has looked poor get him off at half time.

 

[Est.1865]

He gets the ball and he has literally nothing to pass to and swarms of players coming at him . It's the same reason Freuler struggled last year

I genuinely don't know what we work on during the week as there is absolutely no shape or game plan other than 50 yard balls from the CBs.

Agree. No plan or identity. Then it falls apart.

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Did Sangare bring a ton load of weed from Holland when he came over

I've always thought he looks stoned in the way he plays. Complete lack of go in him. Mangala is the same so it's just so slow and predictable in there.

 

[Brian Fantana]

I hate that this is the easiest game Fulham will have this season.

Losing one player in Taiwo should not ruin an entire team.

We don’t look fit, our touches are terrible, passing poor, caught in possession constantly which I could forgive a little if we at least looked dangerous now and again.

What’s happened to Sangare and Dominguez? How are they ruined already?

 

[Barry]

That corner summed us up

We don't press like other teams do so when they're training they have an hour to pick a pass. We need to press more in numbers

 

[magicwoand]

I don't see how this is cooper's fault, he picks the team but he doesn't tell Sangare to f*** up passing and Murillo to go f***ing walkies does he?

Most comments on here were in favour of the team selection and that we were better before we conceded and then all of a sudden 2 good goals from Fulham and we're getting relegated... Jeez

If we get one back it could change...

He keeps changing the team, he keeps changing the back 4, he keeps changing the captain. There is no chance for any players to get any consistency playing together in the side. It's all desperation.

The commentry I'm listening to are pointing out that they are not sure what Forest are trying to do, they don't press high, they don't support the striker. It's just a mess. And I'm pretty sure it's not Omar on co commentry.
