Fulham Vs Manchester United


Gave the ball away for the goal, lost it on the penalty box and nearly gave away another. Can't pass further than 2 feet. Mind you the same could be said for the rest of them.
He just seems out of sorts, hopefully he will pick up in the second
 
No chance that he will change the back 4 again.

Berbatov should be on though. Also like to see Obertan on for Scholes/Anderson.



Of course your probably right i doubt we'll see it either but we have to get Fletch in the midfield somehow because quite frankly its embaressing watching us get totaly outplayed in there...we need another wide player on to give us some balance and much needed width and we need Berbatov to give us some ball control in and around the box....

The team selection is just so bizarre its hard to understand the logic behind it.
 
we better or else we can kiss goodbye to our title hopes...might be a tad premature but the way we are playing hardly inspire a title-winning side.....

To be fair, we're playing without our first choice GK, 3 of our 4 regular defenders and their first-choice subs, and plying our best CM at CB.

We simply need to keep in touch with Chelsea and Arsenal until our injury problems ease a bit.
 
I think we miss Fletch in midfield and Scholes hasn't been great. I'd maybe take Scholes off and bring Fabio on. Put Fletch into midfield and Fabio at RB. Give it another while to see how it shakes things up, if it isn't working then make another sub, possibly Obertan & Berba on.
 
I want to see Obertan. Gibson to sit back in midfield instead of scholesy, who should play further up. Keep the ball bit longer and be patient. We'll be alright.
 
Playing 3 at the back is not working. Against Wolfsburg, once we switched to a back 4, we took control of the game and went on to score twice to make it 3-1.

For a gal u talk alot of sense
 
It was depressing watching it. Thankfully the stream crashed!

:lol::lol::lol::lol:
It wasn't that bad. Let be fair to the boys, we're playing without a defence and doing ok. We would win this by 2 or 3 goals if we stop shooting for 100 yards out and just get the ball out wide quickly. Fulham look all over the place when we get the ball wide.
 
I thought it was a bit early to laugh at liverpool. Bugger me keep playing like this and it will be US fighting for fourth place.....

:wenger: A little knee-jerk? We have all of our CB's out, and are going through a rough patch. Cut us some slack
 
Gibson can shoot, not too much apart from that. Doesn't seem to do well under pressure and this isn't his type of game. Our midfield 3 have been atrocious.
 
Not keeping it on the ground, injuries are killing us... still, only 1-0.
 
The way we are playing, not just tonight, but the games this season so far, had me kinda convinced that we will not win the league. Out of 10 matches, 7~8 games had been dire. We just don't seems like a title winning team at all. i just can't see it.

Yep. I reckon we should have done that from the beginning.
 
Why the hell is Berba on the bench for this game? If you're going to tell them to look for the long ball...why play the two shortest strikers?

because he was dog turd against Wolves.
 
we must win this game or else chelsea going to run away with it and we be fighting for 2nd.......
 
I hope we sort ourselves out. Have a look at the bench ffs. There's a few ready made game changers right there.

I know!! I was joking. I wonder if Gibson has been instructed to shoot from distance as often as possible. Would be good if he could just look up before taking the shot to see if there is a better option. I hope we go 442 cos I reckon we will perform a lot better.

Gibsons a very limited player with a 'sometimes' great shot....his actuall midfield game is very limited indeed....trouble is he over does his shooting far far to often and its gotten to the point where literally everytime hes on the ball within 35 yards of goal you can see whats coming a mile off....hes a one in 10 man when it comes to long shots...

Could easily have said that about 02/03. If we go on a run, we can do it. At the moment, though, it's more about survival.

They're not running away with it though. they've been in crap form the last 6 matches. We're shooting ourselves in the foot. It's not so much today, but the Villa match last weekend.

We can laugh at Liverpool all we like, but 5 defeats (if it stays like this) at this stage is terrible.
 
On a positive note, one of the more cringe worthy matchday threads in recent history.

You'd think we were fighting to stave off relegation.

Down 1-nil to fulham at the half!?! We've never come back from such a deficit against such a powerhouse club before...despair.

Far too early to say that, we're not far off top and could go on a run anytime. Chelsea not looking rock solid either. No need to panic just yet.

He's had four today ;)
