I agree with TVC15 up this page: a combination of negative things that have all impacted together ("perfect storm" like).
I think they'll stick with Wilder but it'll be a big test for him to see if he can lift them to get back somewhere near where they were for the first three quarters of last season. (They did tail off last season: last 10 games were W3, D2, L5, just over 40 points per season rate).

Dyche has managed to lift us from fairly prolonged poor runs at least a couple of times in the past few years; Wilder needs to find how to do that magic very quickly.

I’d have Lundstrom, not remotely convinced by McBurnie though.

Also think Lundstram would be a decent signing and can imagine Dyche being a fan. McBurnie reminds me of Jutkiewicz, no thanks.

I see Dortmund have just sacked their manager. Wouldn't be at all surprised if they were interested in Hasenhutel.

Fulham should be 2 nil up against the Liddypool, but keeper has made two great saves. They play nice football.

More like VAR couldn’t make its mind up after viewing it for 3mins so asked the ref to review it


(It was the right decision)

Fulham have played nice possession football for at least 4 seasons now, but they can't defend.

Fulham playing really well, if these are our relegation rivals then it’s worrying. Hopefully Liverpool will notch it up a couple of gears.

I didn't have the volume on as I was on the phone at the time, but looked a penalty to me. Matip appeared to kick the Fulham player's foot rather than the ball.

Clear foul on Salah in the build up to Fulham's goal too.

With Covid, it seems to have had a massive impact on a lot of clubs. Man City were close to relegation only a few games ago. The table is still totally messed up.

A lot of liverpool fans were asking why Klopp went with so many first teamers to Denmark on Wednesday. They still should be beating Fulham though you’d have thought

After the foot that the Fulham player would have planted to make the cross with the other.

Doesn't touch the ball, kicks the Fulham player's left leg as he is putting it down. If Souness says it's a pen, it's a pen for me.

It's so hard when a team camps behind the ball though. Look how hard teams find it to break us down when we're defending a lead.
