March, Mitoma, Pedro and Hinshelwood. If we're falling apart due to only 4 injuries, thats a massive problem
It's not just those four though.

We've had Pervis out, Enciso out. Lamptey not fully fit. Welbz in and out. Lallana and Milner in and out.

All season we've had injuries to important players and we've not really had a chance to settle.

Just caught the last 5 minutes of the second half as running kids to a birthday party. When I left at 15:20 we seemed to be playing ok.

Two down FFS, haven’t seen the goals but reading on here assume we are to blame for them?

This isn’t looking good at all

I'm not sure why anyone's surprised – most people predicted a defeat and it's a depleted squad with a load of players who aren't used to playing alongside each other.

People should just chill out and enjoy the ride...
It is not that depleted when you also put half the available players on the bench. It is an absolutely bizarre team selection.
You can't complain about squad depletion when you have Gross, Buonanotte, Moder, Wellbeck and Andingra on the bench.
A lot of clubs would kill for a bench that strong and we are seriously complaining that we have a depleted squad!?

Fati and Adingra warming up on the pitch
I can't remember the last time we played a cross like the one Fulham scored from for 2nd goal.

Ferguson could do with barco sligning a couple in like that and not always trying to rondo the ball into the net.

Ferguson thrives off penetrative wing play. We haven’t got any atm.
I agree generally speaking.

But what is personally concerning me a little, is that he always seems to be on his heels and doesn’t move much in the box. Perfect example being Lamptey’s cross. Even the headers we’ve scored (Hinshelwood’s for example) it’s due to his superior positioning.

What is troubling isn’t that Ferguson is missing chance after chance ala Jackson at Chelsea, it’s that he’s simply not getting into positions to have chances.

In short, his confidence looks very low.

You can when players need to be rested but the replacements are injured (or they are the replacements) and so there is nobody to rotate them with.

Yep and currently more than four.

I don't think Hooper hates us specifically, I just think he is that much of a stupid fat bald **** that he will favour the home side every time because they made him some nice sandwiches and mini pork pies or something.
Sandwiches - that's what the official have apparently...!

Painfully predictable. Same poor start. It happens too often. No change in mindset. Just carry on knocking it sideways and piling up the possession stats. Injuries have taken a heavy toll but not necessarily in defence. In a couple of weeks we could be out of all Cups and below halfway in the PL.
