What's new

Fulham vs Chelsea (PL) Wednesday 7th January 19:30 GMT

When Neto was running on the break, saw that the defender coming in to tackle him and stopped and took a hopeless potshot rather than take him on, that just about summed up why our attack is so toothless and why we simply can't play convincingly against these teams that we "should" beat. It's one of the reasons we just play the ball endlessly around the edge of the box, everyone hoping they'll get the ball with no one around them so they won't have to deal with any physicality.

This match made me depressed for more than just the result. Is the new manager really going to fix this attitude? Especially a young one.

 
Mate I am not saying Cucurella is not at fault, he totally is, all I am saying is Chalobah should have helped him as he should have read the game better the moment Leno kicked that ball. He had plenty of time to go help Cucurella.

Apart from James and Cucurella, our options at the back are shocking for the standards of a big club.

Sure you can criticize Chalobah positioning however there is a ball over the top against Wilson, not some physical freak, so you expect Cucu to be able to handle him.
