Our whole Pl season has ridden on the back of 15 points from the first 6 games. Since then we have taken 24 out of a possible 63. An average of 1.14 points per game. Averaged across the season it would see us get 43 points.
I don't see recent games as a blip. We have been Inconsistent for a very long time now but Europe and the odd eye catching win have created a false impression.

I think there's a lot of truth in your point.

We can be devastating if we get ball forward and move it quickly.

We often go backwards or are too ponderous allowing defences to get in shape and blunt attacks.

That’s happened in so many games recently. Seems at the moment nothing is working well. A perfect storm of injured players, players still finding match fitness and the inevitable ups and downs in form of very young players. To compensate for the lack of attacking flair it appears build up play has been deliberately slowed down, perhaps also in attempt to nullify counter attacks? Ain’t going great! Especially when the opposition scores first. Pedro I think is a massive miss..his energy, ability to find space, shithousery and goal scoring has been irreplaceable. The midfield playmaker is a huge issue as well as shown by Gilmours suspension. Ali Mac would play some lovely little between lines balls and reverse passes, that’s been a massive miss.
I’d like to see Verbruggen start every single game, no more three at the back, Adingra on the left and taking the odd corner and Barco eased in please.

Would really like to know what Prem managers think of De Zerbi. The key to beating us is SO obvious. 70% possession and losing 3-0 is pretty hilarious to be honest.

Yup. All of this. Plus just get a few shots on target against us and you’re bound to score. Fulham had 5 today and scored 3.

Back from the game. WTF was that team selection? Steele in goal despite his error on Wednesday. Two full backs on the right. Nothing defensively on the left because, let’s face it, Pervis has no interest in defending anymore. A centre half and a kid De Zerbi said isn’t ready in the middle.

The tactics never change, regardless of the opposition, regardless of the situation in the game. We were always going to be outsmarted by Silva.

Waste of time going.

Fulham administration have massively gone up in my estimation. They spotted my BN postcode buying tickets in the home end and cancelled my ticket and refunded the money, so I can use it in Rome.

I owe them a huge solid for helping me help myself.

RDZ wants to win something this season the FA and League cups are over the Premier League is out of reach that leaves Europa League with that in mind despite what was said we rested our best starting 11 at his disposal which might be something like BVB back in goal defence of Dunk Van Hecke Pervis Lampity Adingra grob Gilmore Barko
Wellbeck Benuotti

It feels like it’s all about his CV at the moment

That’s a bit mad though. Weird of them to assume that no Fulham fans live in Brighton.

Incredible that all these massive clubs could be interested in de zerbi with this record !

The teams we've beaten in the Europa are bang average as well.

Are they really that interested though? They may be keeping an eye on him and he might be spoken about but I would be very surprised to see him end up at a 'massive' club at the end of this season. So much media hype these days.

If I REALLY wanted to go I might have played that card. But mixed with me having no previous purchasing history and what was no doubt a very brief browse of my Facebook I reckon they knew they were on solid ground.

I was relieved to be honest. Imagine paying 60 quid for that shìt.

So you think we can get 7th place? Lets take Europa league Serious.
We may never qualify for it again. Lets go as far aswe can with our strongest side as possible,who knows how far we can go. Have a look at the top 11 teams in the PL as it stands now, how many of them Realistically can we compete with and stay above until the end of the season.

Imo there are the usual so called big 6 with Villa and Newcastle challenging them for 7 places. Our only chance of getting top 6 is Newcastle and Chelsea having poor runs.

We might, we might not. We won't if we play rotated teams in the league. We don't have the depth to compete on multiple fronts. The league should always come first.

So you think that keeping the same team week in week out wevwill finish the season above Wolves, Chelsea, Newcastle and West Ham?
Our best first team on its day is top 6, but that team needs to play 90% of the season together.

Without Mitoma, March, Pedro and Billy G we are not. Top 10 at best, but Capable of upsetting the big teams.

In terms of today and Craven Cottage.

Why the hell is that new stand still mostly empty? And very strange they didn’t add any corporate boxes into the design? It just looks a little shite.

Don't play Gross, Enciso, Wellbeck etc midweek in the cup and we look better already today.
Maybe play less expensive and be a bit more defensively solid when we know we lack cutting edge up front.
