Big pressure on next game tactical changes and formation and personel must win game No. No bigger pressure than there woould be. Certainly isn't a "must win" game. It's important if we can but there's no need to apportion that level of risk. Helps nobody. More important we don't lose but we need to...

Things we have learned from today. We are better with a back four. Laurent is NOT a centre back. We need Ugochukwu's physicality in midfield. Bruun Larsen is not fit. Broja is not ready to play in the Premier League. Dubravka is a fantastic 'keeper. We need a centre forward. Hopefully Parker will f...

JimmyRobbo

Let's hope Buendia is OK.

Difficult for ZF when you're defending yourself against a smaller player from behind.

JimmyRobbo

Sunderland drew with Villa despite being down to ten men. So? We beat them. They must be rubbish, eh? And we must be world beaters. The season is a lon one. If we give each game a go then I'll be happy. For us to win, all our players have to be maxing their game and so has our manager. We can't do ...

JimmyRobbo

Parker about to change things.

Fair enough. Given it 10 to see how it settles.

JimmyRobbo

Dubravka does ell there.

JimmyRobbo

Digne lucky to only get a yellow. Lunged with studds up.

JimmyRobbo

No it won't.

Not being good enough without spending 400m will be our undoing.

JimmyRobbo

After seeing this first half I'd love to swap to 4-2-3-1 for the second half, as per Sunderland, but can't see it happening A reasonable shout. I think Tuanzebe has looked a little off the pace, quite understandably. We rode our luck in the final minutes. We'll need to make a change at some stage. ...

JimmyRobbo

Tuazebe not looked convincing but didn't think the Villa player would have got near it for a pen. Probably correct decision by ref.

JimmyRobbo

That was a top save by Martinez from JC.

Starting to think we will end up with less points than 2 years ago. Suppose we had a better coach then.

Possibly.

The difference is in the quality of the opposition. I can't see who the 3 worse teams are. We have already shown a lot more about us than last time around.

JimmyRobbo

With these tactics and this manager, we are down. If we are playing 5 at the back, we should be defensively solid. Really? With this keague? With these boots? With this weather? With these referees? With these pitches? We are always going to struggle. We were hot favourites (alongside Sunderland) t...

JimmyRobbo

Esteve just not quite strong enough. A nicely taken goal.

JimmyRobbo

A very well taken goal, tbf.

Quality touch and finish.

JimmyRobbo

Florentino is a quality player. The game really does slow down when he is in possession.

JimmyRobbo

The Norwewgian U-21 midfielder?

JimmyRobbo

Come from the offside.... then poor as a unit.

Not many want to remember this game from the back line.

Dumb and heartless finishl. A shame.

JimmyRobbo

Offside?

Really no need. Ball should have been given out left ages beforehand.

JimmyRobbo

Who let him get the cross over? Walker? Very poor marking. Ah well! Usual disaster.

JimmyRobbo

Dubravka with a bood save after we gift Haaland with another good chance.

JimmyRobbo

It’s a penalty for me. If he’d gone down instead of getting his shot away it would’ve been given. It’s still a foul and should’ve been given. These decisions don’t help in encouraging players to stay on their feet. Yep, modern game. I don't think any of them are penalties. Getting touched anywhere ...

JimmyRobbo

Ugo and Broja for Cullen & Foster.

Nothing to lose, I suppose. Let's see what these 2 Chelski products have!

JimmyRobbo

Glad VAR saw sense. Seen them given.

JimmyRobbo

Looked like a pen. Are VAR going to get involved?

JimmyRobbo

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

JimmyRobbo

Terrible news.

At least wait until we've played them.

JimmyRobbo

Does Esteve have to deal with Haaland? I know Haarman is there, but he isn't going to win it, is he?

JimmyRobbo

Haaland created that.

Beautiful floated ball over.

Oh dear.

JimmyRobbo

VAR ... pen for Burnley ... I doubt it, though.

JimmyRobbo

Decent move and effort from Hartman.

JimmyRobbo

Doku will skin Josh L every time 1 v 1. Important we cover and protect.

I'm happy with how Parker has set us up and e're performing.

We'll park the bus with that team.

I'm OK with that.

No point going after City. It's very unlikely to get anything other than the usual battering.

A smash and grab or a Dyche battle is fine for me.

JimmyRobbo

Somebody likened him to Kante at Leicester (then Chelski) and I can see it.

We look like finally having a decent midfield inc subs. Even JL is looking OK.

JimmyRobbo

I wasn't impressed when we signed him. I wanted Johnstone who were also linked with.

Have to say that he has been very good so far. Not sure about any comparisons with JT but it's irrelevant, I am happy with what we've got. Certainly earned his corn today.

JimmyRobbo

Can't award results unless completed.

Anyone remember Port Vale at the turf in our season with Mullen in the champ?

JimmyRobbo

Rode our luck but we are showing thet we are a very different side to last time around.

We have a chance of staying up.

Walker was brilliant. Could see him leading the team.

I'm very happy with that point.

JimmyRobbo

Heartbreaking because I thought we defended superbly and Liverpool didn't really give us much trouble despite their dominance. In modern football, that is always a penalty. Would it be given for us? I don't know. 2 tough results. Same part of the pitch. Not too disheartened because, again, we gave a...

JimmyRobbo

Gary Bailey.

JimmyRobbo

Another wonderful report Tony.

I'm glad someone else spotted the actions of BF after that penalty. I thought Foster did well not to retaliate.

The only problem I can think of is that we will lose pretty much everyone if we go down.

I'm not sure what the alternative is, there.

The chances are both will still happen. I don't know what we can do to deal with that issue and still get players who are good enough.

JimmyRobbo

I think the OP is a little harsh here and might be missing much of what really is transpiring.

We are all entitled to have our own opinions. Opinions can be wrong, too.

JimmyRobbo

I have no idea whether he is any good or not; a little like many on here. I want to congratulate the recruitment team for learning from our mistakes under VK. We've moved for men rather than boys. The elusive CM/DM enforcer that we ignored has been heavily promoted for the last 2 years. FL appears t...

Just seen Chelsea's penalty again and the Chelsea player handballs it first as well! If I was a Fulham fan I'd be raging

Exactly how I was feeling when I saw it.

Sadly, our version of VAR just continues to give 2nd chances for the big clubs. The machine is massively in their favour.

JimmyRobbo

We do seem to look better on attacking corners, though.

Esteve got a great near post flick which created the chaos. We didn't have much success 2 years ago. Esteve didn't seem a danger in attacking corners either.

JimmyRobbo

He has started really well. Just like last time under VK.

Strange how certain skill sets are more aligned with the prem rather than the league below.

JimmyRobbo

I don't really buy any of this VAR against us b**ocks, I think we just have sore losers here. Mount pen claim - the right call. Had a ref not had Var and is looked from behind Walker, he is never seeing the pull and so decision stands Foster offside goal - you have to be clear and obvious to be ons...

JimmyRobbo

We know VAR is ****, and will always favour the big boys. Don’t give them an excuse, and unfortunately we did. Hopefully a valuable lesson today. In truth, this is the only sensible outlook. We won't change the big club ableism. We need to be more clever. I'm not having a go at Anthony, it's a coll...

JimmyRobbo

WHAT THE F is a 'sustained' foul? Have they changed the rules to where the foul ended, rather than where it began? Mry exact issue. Definitely tuhged the shirt (needlessly). Definitely dives once inside the area. I wish I couldn't have written the script - soft penalty at OT for MU then BF "redeems...

JimmyRobbo

Seems a decent bloke. Loved the greetings from his mates who hadn't bought the full package.

A nice little watch. Cheers.
