Sounds like a porn site.

After a bright start it all ground to a halt. In the plus side, no shots for Fulham. But as we saw last week, they only need one...

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

We need to be a bit quicker in the second half. I think they have come for the níl nil

 

[pb21]

Most entertaining thing so far is seeing how the ref deals with all the head traumas the Fulham players are picking up

 

[Si Gull]

Steady first half but we faded a bit as it went on. Lots of possession without creating a clear chance. Fulham defending, and time wasting, well but no great threat.

Not even one

Missing Lallana again, going to have to find a way without him by the looks of it.

I know he likes to play further forward but to me Mac Allister is without doubt better deeper. I think he looks a poorer player further forward. Would like to see Sarmiento given another go in that link role.

 

[Weststander]

We were by far the better team.

Mitoma had two players on him the moment he receives the ball.

Just need Gross etc to stay calm in the moments, playing others in on goal.

2 long Fulham faux injuries, litter removed from pitch, Webster ties laces up, Albion player given lengthy lecture from the ref

= 2 mins added time!

Numpties like the ref

A bit like the Bournemouth game but Fulham offering less going forward. Hoping we get the same result in the end.

 

[nordicgod]

I fell off my seat, that was the highlight of the first half in the north

 

[dangull]

Brighton have been the better team. Final pass has been the problem. 6th v 7th was always going to be a tight game. Fulham have not had a shot yet.

 

[jackanada]

Fulham looked like they came to play for almost a whole ten minutes, it's been largely sit back, block the channels, distort the game and waste time since.
Lacking a bit of snap on the passing.
Still we've run them about for 45 minutes and hopefully there's a bit more snap second half and a few more ideas from rdz about how to unlock them.
Not long ago I'd have said looks set for Sarmiento to come on for 25 minutes and wriggle that bit of space out centrally for us, but Buanonote or Ayari also contenders to do similar.

 

[Icy Gull]

Ref has given a couple of very poor free kicks for perfectly fair tackles, also being sucked in by Fulham’s play acting “injuries”.

I am of course biased but the bounce of the ball has been going Fulham’s way so far imo

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I think we'll see a change of front pair on the hour. Undav and sarmiento on

 

[pb21]

In the interests of player safety, players with suspected head injuries should have to leave the pitch for 5-minutes for mandatory checks for concussion.

Well it is the dogs bollocks...

Fergie is so much better than Welbeck & Undav as a lone striker.

Camera on Enciso warming up on my Spanish stream, is he coming on?!

10 in rugby isn’t it, but they can sub the player during the check

Another gormless dickhead ref.
