posted by THE CRA V EN (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 11:16 PM Just watched the Fulham vs Spurs game on MOT2. Five minutes of analysis 99.9% talking about Spurs, no mention of the two superb goals.
posted by Miks (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 11:29 PM I'm really angry about tonight's MOTD2, and all I heard on the summing up by the experts, like that useless manager Rooney, was that Spurs put out a weakened side. No mention, that we were also missing a few of our players, and as pointed out, no mention how well taken our goals were. If, and it's a big if, we won the FA Cup, it would be that we were so lucky, and our opponents had an off day. It would be great to have a Fulham v Brighton final, but it will probably be Man City against Forest.

All present and correct Owen. Agree with you regarding Muniz, he’s becoming very reliable. I personally have been impressed with some of his delicate layoffs. I’m not sure but I reckon his goals to minutes ratios must be some of the best in the league. The goals themselves can be things of elegance and highly skilled.On the question of ESR it really is disappointing that whilst he shows brief examples of his quality he remains very sporadic with his contributions. I hope very much that he will come good.
posted by Observer (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 6:10 PM Forgot to say, I know very little, just old git who has watched a lot of football at the Cottage and beyond over the past 70 years. Can only comment on what I think I see, beyond that zilch:)
posted by Observer (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 6:14 PM Observer, don't give up on ESR just yet, as he is a talented boy, and I'm sure that he will come good, but probably not until next season. Most of us, if not all of us would have booted Muniz out of our club by now, but Marco to his credit, must have had faith in him, and it is beginning to show dividends, as he is proving to be a really good striker. ESR, hopefully will justify Marco's faith in the long run so let's just wait and see.
posted by Brian from West Sussex (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 6:50 PM We have a great partnership in Raul and Muniz. His partnership with Raul can probably last another season with Muniz getting more minutes. They compliment each other so well and as long as they are happy to share the shirt, not sure another striker is top of our priority for the summer. Muniz surprised many of us and he looks BIGGER, STRONGER, SMARTER and CALMER by the match. He BOSSED the Spurs defenders today! He's been patient and a fantastic dressing room character. I hope we renew his contract in the summer as it only has 2 years left.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 7:38 PM Is muniz becoming our new mitro same sort of style such a likeable character seems to enjoy his football and ffc and the fans think we saw everything there today lovely touches from our samba boys suicidal defending two great goals last 15 minutes threatened to run riot spurs just. Fell apart could have scored five in that time ffc rampant from the minute muniz came on spurs could not contain him
posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 7:43 PM Nice to see the support for Muniz here guy's after his iffy start for Fulham and i think he is aware more goals are needed from him. Every striker worth their salt wants to score 30 goals plus and not just our strikers, we need more and better assists for all our strikers. Big respect to Observer who is a long time supporter of Fulham and i think he might be the oldest on here. Observer' i hope we come through what is in front of us, starting with Crystal Palace and win the FA Cup which is more prestigious more than the Milk Cup, which Newcastle won today...

Sess owes Spurs nothing. We are grateful that Spurs borrowed him for a few seasons and they paid us to do so. Two goals for him and six points for Fulham, how sweet is that?
posted by mwk (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 6:14 PM He did go and celebrated with the fans, good for him. We used to love him it is happening again. Both the goals he has scored since his return show he is a natural goal scorer and a talented player, which we all knew anyway.

posted by Observer (Guest) - Sunday 16th March 2025, 4:43 PM Agreed Bigboy' Smith Rowe was a damp squib and he should have been taken off earlier than he was. Saying that i think Pereira wasn't much better and i would have hauled him off before Iwobi. Iwobi didn't have his best game but we are so reliant on wingers in this team it is astounding. We need more coming from the middle for sure but still a good win to finish off in style before the international break. Smith Rowe is clearly finding it tough out there and a serious lack of confidence is missing i think. Marco won't say that because of the price tag and he sanctioned the move. We will rest up and enjoy the break and go again. Marco will try again with Smith Rowe after the break, it is still too early to write him off. Rowe has some ability and the few goals he has scored are very good but he has to get in those areas where he can be effective. He is not the strongest on the ball and pace is not his strong front. Maybe a sitdown and a watch through past videos of himself might jog his memory...

Fulham have been my team for a very longtime and consistency has always been our problem. A Plumber said to me I never bet on a Fulham result as one week they will beat Ipswich the next lose to Ipswich. On paper we should beat Spurs but the pressure is on us start winning to get into Europe, but perhaps that is a demotivator, fear of the future. Spurs like Man United look very ordinary but is the very ordinary team we struggle to beat. I think an attitude of easy to beat do not have to works so hard and that does not work. There are not bad teams in the Premier League only less good ones. Marco must know what is happening and must convince the players they are wrong.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 16th March 2025, 9:17 AM The problem with the game is a physiological one as the players believe Spurs will be easy to beat so they do not have to work as hard as they do against better teams. Marco must keep trying to convince them it will be as difficult to beat Spurs as it is Liverpool. Premier League team are all full of players that can win games that Fulham have to stop scoring and have players that can stop us scoring. We must play at our best or we will not win. It is very basic it but a lot of the players do not seem to get it.

Spot on John C. But wouldn't Marco be a fool to go to Spurs! While Spurs have the Daniel Levy influence, it would not be long before Marco is also on the nose. You would have to ask yourself how a club can go through so many quality managers time and time again. So we may as well take the 3 points if possible. I am confident Marco will stay at Fulham After his Hull and Everton experiences, even silly money won't entice him.

Because Brighton are my nearest club, and most of my friends around are Seagulls supporters, I came in for a bit of stick after Saturdays result, but I did hand it out when we won at CC, so I suppose fairs fair. My neighbour is a ST holder at the Amex, and he said that he had a clear of the penalty, and he admitted that it was a bit soft. However, as far as I'm concerned, like so many games this season, we have dropped points, whilst being ahead, and although it doesn't effect our position in the table hugely, we must stop this nonsense if we take the lead in the FA Cup, against Palace, or in the semi's if we make it. Marco, and the coaches really must change this losing games from leads habit next season.

I was timing the added five minutes and by my watch the penalty was awarded well after the announced 5 minutes of overtime. I agree with another poster on this board who said a klaxon should go off after the announced time ending the game. The referee even had the cheek to restart the game after the penalty to make it look like he hadn’t allowed too much overtime and blew up at nearly 10 mins of overtime. I’m surprised Marco didn’t mention it in his post match interview.

posted by mwk (Guest) - Sunday 09th March 2025, 3:05 PM AB, yes a penalty was given but the foul was contrived by Pedro who barged between two Fulham players and was caught by HR heel as he attempted to clear the ball.

I agree your point about Diop but he only plays ocassionaly and is not renound for his ability on the ball. What does concern me is the negativeness of Berge. Apart from being asleep he slowed down every single counter attack that went through him.
posted by T.NO (Guest) - Saturday 08th March 2025, 5:13 PM Why didn’t the referee blow up after he announced 5 mins of extra time and 5 mins was played. That is unacceptable there’s no point in the referee announcing how many minutes he’s adding on if he intends allowing the game to go on until the home team scores. He should have realised he had played more than the allocated 5 minutes and not given the penalty the commentators said the player went looking for it anyway. Then he tries to justify the extra extra minutes by allowing the KO after the penalty and play to resume. He may as well have allowed another 5 minutes. Making it 15 extra minutes in total.

(Guest) - Saturday 08th March 2025, 5:32 PM Although we like to think that we are going to win or draw every match, we just don't, and neither, apart from Liverpool, do any other clubs in this very competitive Premier League. Yes, today's result was very disappointing, but it's a case of we must take it on the chin and move on. We have v a difficult set of fixtures coming up, and we must hope that a couple of injuries to some major players are healed soon, and more important at this stage, we can see off Palace in the FA Cup quarter final, and we must forget trying for a European spot, as we haven't at present, a strong enough squad, but it will happen soon.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Saturday 08th March 2025, 5:56 PM Another set of points thrown away. How can a player have so much time and be unmarked to equalize, and then the 96 th minute penalty, schoolboy stuff. Too many misplaced passes and second to balls. Diop didn’t have a great game, but at times put under unnecessary pressure by dodgy balls (Leno, Anderson etc). Brighton were there for the taking, and as per usual one goal not enough. Robinson was bad today, not only Diop, but too many ineffective and lack lustre. Hopefully we can turn over Spurs next week, but they are below us in the league…..

You are of course right bigboy, respect for your fellow mans opinions, and contributing your own thoughts is the old way. Seem to remember the saying " I disagree with what you say, but I will fight for the right for you to say it" Being frightened of voicing your thoughts in a constructive way, means losing your freedoms earned over generations of people suffering to achieve these freedoms. When leaders of major nuclear powers , feel it is ok to hurl abuse, threaten repercussions as a way forward, without this respect leaves us all less safer. My previous post was a gentle note to a Brentford fan suggesting that they had exited the FA Cup. But I do hope that if we can't win the cup then Bournemouth, Crystal Palace or Brighton can, this new name on the trophy, will give their supporters as much joy as me if FFC could win it.
posted by denny (Guest) - Friday 07th March 2025, 10:36 AM Agree - 100% for freedom of speech and right to voice your opinion, so long within the decency and due respect boundary. Sadly, I think Trump has taken the freedom of speech to a new level and a very dangerous one for someone with such power. Equally, while Trump has taken the right to say what he likes, he dislike anyone else doing the same, especially if their opinion is not in his favour. With that, how i wish we have a moderator who can filter what comes out of Trump's mouth!

The only day they can play all four matches on the Saturday because of other commitments of the Clubs. BBC and ITV are not keen on this idea. Watch this space. 11.30, 14.00, 16.30, 20.00 is possible. Our match being a London affair you can bet we would get the late slot.

posted by peterjeremy - Thursday 06th March 2025, 8:32 AM Leno allows us to win games we would not otherwise win, though less often now we have a terrific defence. Liverpool's keeper has to make lots of saves however as the opposition gave Liverpool no space and moved the ball from front to back quickly. It is not long before we play Liverpool again and I am sure Marco will learn from that. All good teams score late goals, by bringing on fast subs to take advantage of tiring defences.
posted by The Time Is Now - Thursday 06th March 2025, 10:45 AM Of course Craven is entitled to mention Allisson’s outstanding performance which kept Liverpool in the game and eventually won by the late goal. I see no problem discussing subjects of interest.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Thursday 06th March 2025, 9:51 PM It is a football subject and of course acceptable. One of the difficulties of being a Fulham supporter is because we never win anything worth having it is tempting to have second team to support who do win things without usually admitting. Of course the point being made is if you keep the opposition from scoring, no matter how poor your midfield and striker are playing their is always a chance you can sneak a winner.

Robinson has come on leaps and bounds our most important player by far his energy is amazing and he covers so much ground ,and he plays with so much passion for the club ,nail him down
posted by worple (Guest) - Sunday 02nd March 2025, 11:54 PM We have become efficient penalty takers. The technique of getting the keeper to dive then pushing it the other side works consistently. It is catch 22 for the keeper as he knows if he does not dive the penalty takers can slot it passed each side of him. His only chance is when he dives the taker is stupid enough to kick it the same way as Man U did.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 03rd March 2025, 9:08 AM A great win and we held our nerve better than Utd. As a matter of fact, Robbo took the 4th penalty after Willian's kick. I also was anticipating Robinson putting his effort into row Z and was pleased he didn't.

Well who expected us to win a penalty shoot out for a change, but the lads did it this time. I'm happy to have received a home draw, but Palace might be harder to beat than United, but we have score to settle with that lot. We didn't play to well against a poor United side, who can thank their keeper for going to extra time. My MOTM was Bassey, not nobody had a really bad game.

For the leader of of the free world to berate another leader who is fighting for his country very survival in this manner is contemptible and many countries will see Trump as a typical school bully.

Marco's most clever move was to mirror the Wolves formation which gave us lots of space on the wings and four players to exploit it. Wolves tried to exploit the wings as well but did not have four players of the class of ours. The most splendid thing was the five changes made did not in any may make us look worse, in fact most of the so called reserves had brilliant games. We have a squad ousting with glass, one of the best in the Division thanks to Marco's great skill in improving players beyond recognition.

Marco is a brilliant tactician, it does not always work, but most of the time is does. The Palace game was defeat was to team who now looks as if they can beat anyone now.

Agree mst but I tend to brood on games when we don’t turn up and lose miserably should be 4th tonight

posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 8:20 AM Perfect through balls to players running in behind was the answer to Wolves, and should have been the answer to Crystal Palace.
posted by peterjeremy - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 8:48 AM The players who scored the goals were not playing on Saturday. Muniz is looking a real talent at last and Sessegnon is near to his best under Marco's encouragement. The win last night are the ones you must get if we are going to be come a team reaching for honours rather than stopping getting getting relegated. Even the top team have days when they do not play so well.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 9:31 AM So glad to see Traore and Muniz starting to realise their potential and reward Marco’s faith. So pleased for Ryan, it’s been a tough few years for him, hope they are over. Now Man U, who surely can’t get off the hook again.
posted by Mortlake - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 9:54 AM So my post above this one re pensions and Labour giving with one hand and taking with the other has been deleted. Fair enough but that’s me done so sorry guys no more moderation from me as there was nothing illegal or immoral with that post. Good luck!!
posted by MST (Moderator) - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 10:43 AM Palace are in great form and they are proving tough to beat. Who could have imagined a 4-1 win for Palace against Villa? That is a thrashing in my eyes and i think we should stop now beating ourselves up at the loss to them. 2-0? We look to have improvements in this team now going forward. Sessegnon has always had that control and psychic for running into those areas at the right time. This is not something you learn from a manager and if it was every Fulham player would be doing it every week. Muniz scored one of quality and it was a peach of a build up and pass from Traore. The only problem is i think Muniz knows he is decent and he now has a swagger about him which tells me that sooner or later he will want more and he is ambitious. We could have a problem keeping him just saying...
posted by OWEN - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 11:18 AM Just for the record it was not me MST, I didn't even get to read it and I can say it has been a long time since I have to do any moderation, I suspect you beat me to it. We don't know what these sites are told they can and can not have on their boards so please don't get too angry.
posted by Baz (Moderator) - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 12:04 PM hard to believe it was 1985 when tony sealy got that hat trick in a 4-0 win. he wasnt here long, but he did score some goals.
posted by george swoon (Guest) - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 12:39 PM MST, please have a rethink about quitting this site as it is fans like you, Owen, The Craven, Bigboy etc that keep this board going, but there a few stupid people that ruin it for us genuine fans, plus the infiltrating Bees idiots. I have turned it it in, on several occasions, but eventually returned, as I enjoy contributing, even if sometimes I am being critical. By the way, I heartedly agree with your comments on the Liebour party, and why some fool deleted that most sensible comment, I really don't know.

posted by Tailgater (Guest) - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 5:52 PM Yes Optombi, Saturday’s game against Palace was disgraceful as most players were not interest which I found unacceptable.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Wednesday 26th February 2025, 7:42 PM MST, I fail to understand who has the ability to delete posts and why your innocuous posting, just stating the truth, together with those posts agreeing with you got deleted.

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Thursday 27th February 2025, 10:13 PM Parliamentary politics have no place on this site. The only news we must have is Fulham news.
posted by The Time Is Now - Friday 28th February 2025, 3:27 PM TTIN, sometimes such as the Summer break, news is in short supply and there is no harm in introducing a debate on other subjects which are serious enough and pertain to events which affect the majority of us. Personally, I am tempted to discuss the deranged views of Trump, Vance and Musk who are screwing Ukraine by making them to repay for the aid provided by the previous administration. Just as the UK had to pay for equipment during World War 2 which took us 50 years to repay. Unfortunately, I neither have the time or inclination to express my feelings towards the present incumbent of the White House. Just saying.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Friday 28th February 2025, 8:27 PM During the short summer break we can fill this site with players purchase and sale rumours as wild as we like. This would be far more fun than talking about the grim getting grimmer current affairs.
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 01st March 2025, 6:33 PM Marco is so good at making ordinary players play like brilliant ones. The disadvantage of this is other clubs will seek our best players in the summer. To counter this we have become very much stronger in keeping players here but we also have a fantastic buying team who will find good players to replace any that leave. The main problem is if we get into a European competition we will need a larger squad so we will need to anticipate what we earn from the competition to pay for them. It is all very complex but the Club has become excellent in many ways to fully support an excellent manager.

Have to admit when I saw line up I wasn’t too confident especially after they just beaten Bournemouth last week’s,Marco got it right again superb use of the squad 42 points 11 games to go unbelievable
