Not sure that was the case, and in any event the goals came from Colwill/Hato's side. Fulham would ordinarily try and attack mostly through Iwobi and Robinson and apart from a late chance for the latter, they had little success.

The first part is true, but for our defence as a whole. Fofana showed last season that he is prone to similar lapses, so for better or worse I don't think we lose much by rotating both of them in that position. The game is played at such a high tempo that 'concentration' only gets you so far, and it is easily surpassed by defenders who know their roles and positions and disciplines well.

Ideally, we get another midfielder so that Reece James can play there.

 
He’s got quality and attributes to go to the top. Needs game time. No concerns at all if he continues in a back 3 for us. Great performance - well done Josh.

Since the Milan game where he dominated Rafael Leao, he seems to have found a bit of momentum. He is starting to look like the player that is wanted by every club in europe. Making that right centre back spot his own.

I didn't like him not clearing the corner that led to their goal. Shouldn't have lost his man at the near post. His aerial ability in general needs a bit of work, if he wants to be a center back.
Apart from that he was quality yesterday, and has been most of the time this season. A proper jump from last year.
 
It would always be beneficial for him to stay, given James' fitness. My only fear was that the bloke who doesn't care about anything would get ahead of him, like every manager before Alonso.

Thank goodness Alonso isn't thick.
 
His ball carrying into midfield and beyond is very good. He just needs to play. With regular football he will progress quickly.
I really hope he signs the new deal he’s being offered because out of any of the young players he knows already exactly how much he’s worth.
