Match thread - Fulham v Burnley

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:39 pm

Larsen and Odobert have both offered absolutely nothing. Amdouni and Foster have barely seen the ball. Gaping chasm between Berge and the defence which is getting seized upon repeatedly. Frustrating watch after a decent opening 10.

5 attempts to 0

But allegedly we're an attacking side.
Keep saying it we're not, we're a defensive side whose defensive philosophy is "have lots of possession because we can't actually defend". Even if that's not the theory that's the practice.

We’re second to every ball at the minute.

Amdouni, Odobert and Larsen could all be hooked at half time.

Fair comment, players thrive on confidence, and ours are spent, more or less. Keeping things the same week on week isn’t doing them any favours.

Brownhill dawdling about like he doesn’t give a toss.

Still a mystery to me how Amdouni is virtually always first on the team sheet.

He must know where the bodies are buried.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:41 pm

Larsen genuinely needs taking off. Second to everything, losing the ball every time he has it and isn’t helping defensively. Awful.

We're second to the ball more often than not. Been a case all season. We're rancid when we don't have the ball. And not much better when we have it. It's a bad mixture.

I'd keep him on longer than Odobert if only because in the opening 8-10 minutes Larsen had a couple moments of attacking play whereas Odobert genuinely may as well have not been on the pitch for all he's doing. Larsen's playing badly but the ball's practically glued to the right side.
Or swap both.

My changes:

Amdouni, Odobert, Larsen off

Cullen, Obafemi, Trésor on

Can’t defend and can’t attack.

Guess that’s why we’re sitting rock bottom of the table.

Foster should have passed there - Amdouni in good space.

Said it before- never known a keeper who can make routine saves look like a dramatic last gasp like he does. He's a good shot stopper but doesn't half make everything look harder than it is.

Not known a Burnley team so utterly useless at attacking and defending corners in my 30+ years going on. We don’t even try to compete to win the headers! I need to tell myself to care less when we have one.

Leno could've nipped out and finished his Xmas shopping this half.

Fulham could be 3 or 4 up. Make no mistake, it's not 0-0 because we've defended well.

Phew.
Well, we're still in it, however light-weight we've been.
I'd take an iffy point or 3, which ever way we can.

xG of 0.9 suggests 3 or 4 up is pushing it!

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:51 pm

Well the positive is that it's still 0-0. Not sure if we can keep them out for another 45 if we keep playing like that.

Disjointed and lacking er anything.

Look like a team not just lacking confidence but direction.

Gabor!

He dived horizontally when it was right at him, just to make a simple catch look like a breathtaker!

Woody9229 · Post by **Woody9229** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:53 pm

To me this is similar to the Brighton where we started well without really threatening then the home team takes control
and its backs to the wall. Ni agains the run of play goal this time. We know changes that should be made won’t be. We really are not an entertaining team to watch at all.

Trafford's had three saves to make, on another day Fulham put them in the corner. At least three goal mouth scrambles. One pretty much cleared off the line. I don't mind xG etc but I'm using my eyes and if Fulham had scored three then I don't think we could complain about it.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:56 pm

Another game...same issues. A total lack of intensity or purpose,sloppy passing, overplaying at the wrong times. This desire to not shoot or cross but pass for passings sake is driving me insane. We just refuse to buy a ticket for the lottery. Makes it so easy for teams.
We are only in this because Fulham havn't been at it.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:56 pm

Foster’s the only one whose putting a shift in ,into injury time just typified us 4 Clarets round the ball on the halfway line and the Fulham guy came out with it,apart from Sheff Utd and perhaps West Ham were being outclassed every week.
