they've gotten behind us several times and should've scored once. We can't string together more than one or two passes and keep lumping it over the top to Torres who's offside 5 times.

This is the worst side in the league and we're struggling this much. Depressing. Getting outplayed by fucking Fulham!

Keep the damn ball! Why is that such a difficult concept? Keep possession and pass it around. We keep trying to bypass the entire Fulham side with a single ball. Just play it along the pitch!

An utterly dominating performance would make my week. Wish we'd have one of those 8-0 Villa type performance.

Very nice team. Should be more than enough firepower. Hopefully we press and play with a lot of energy. Don't allow them on to us and concede possession to a lesser side. Dominate the ball and and play with width. None of this narrow shit we sometimes play where the only shots we have are from 30 yards.

That's....fucking dumb.I'll be raging if we lose to the worst side in the league who have a -30+ goal difference.

José wasn't in a very cheery mood there was he? Said the players haven't trained yet so we can probably expect some pretty dour football for parts of this one due to tired legs. Luckily Matic and Oscar will be very well rested and hopefully Luiz is fit and could maybe slot into midfield. Should still have more than enough to handle the worst side in the league.

Kinda sad that some of us (myself included) go into games against relegation jailbate with more nerves than when we play a big side. We should be beating this lot 3 or 4-0 but we'll somehow make it difficult on ourselves. We can kill the game off with a couple of first half goals. What seems more likely based on how we played against West Brom is that we look completely comfortable and get a 1-0 lead and can't put them to the sword and are made to pay for it later. I think it'll be a hard fought 2-1 victory. Team: --------------------Torres-------------------- Hazard-----------Oscar-----------Salah ------------Matic----------Ramires------------ Azpi---------Terry-----------Cahill----------Iva --------------------Cech----------------------

Our form really is starting to concern me. How much longer can we squeak out results like this or Everton? The creative players in our midfield haven't been creating anything and we seem to have only 1 plan going forward. When we play as slowly and as labored as we have over the past couple of weeks we may as well have kept Mata since this is just the kind of football he thrived in. If we don't catch a team out on the break and try to actually build play from midfield we just have players standing there doing nothing. Or worse, they give the ball away constantly. I'm not gonna overreact and go ballistic but I agree with another post I read earlier. With the array of talent we put out there on a game by game basis we should be playing much better football than we have these past 4 matches. We desperately need a Kroos or Modric type string puller in midfield next to Matic and a striker who can pull magic out of his hat when things aren't going his way and score at will like EVERY other top class side has. Until then we'll just continue to rely on individual brilliance from Hazard or someone to carry us.

Melo is an absolute fucking cunt.

What the fuck has happened to us!? We were doing so well leading up to that City game and it's like we've hit a brick wall. We look awful going forward! And have for a while now.

These referee's are appallingly bad. Fucking TERRIBLE!

Exactly, and that's how it's been for the last few matches. Hazard is in a bit of a slump and because of that we've looked like a dull sword. Doesn't help that Oscar is going through a slump at the same exact time. Hazard just looks to me like he's showing his timid and shy side that he showed a little last season. Like he doesn't think he can do things he actually can. He did a couple of nice things there that half, but he's not being aggressive enough for me. Been like that since the West Brom game. Does something sick here and there but not having the impact he was pre West Brom.

Could've and should've killed the tie off in that first half. We're so blunt and wasteful in attack. We get up there and don't know what to do. Hazard should've done MUCH better on that counter with Schürrle wide open at the edge of the box. We should be 2-3 up right now.

Seeing Ramires & Lamps partnership again after a while.

Yeah, just saw the video via twitter. Unless the cameraman had the camera hidden inside something I don't think there's any way he didn't know he was being filmed. He was saying the stuff in a joking way and was laughing, though. He certainly wouldn't have said that in any kind of official media presentation.

More looking forward to and anxious about the Fulham game than this one to be completely honest. Wouldn't be bothered if we came out with a draw. Only thing I care about this season is the Premier League.

Can you sign players for 2 matches? Bring him back for the Arsenal games and let him give poor Arsene a few nightmares.

Striker + Kroos + Shaw = Premier League favorites and serious Champions League contenders next season. Think 2 of those will happen but can't see Kroos leaving Bayern. If it's at all possible I'd still have my doubts. Lamps is looking more and more likely to be given an extension and buying Kroos would seriously impact Van Ginkel's status at the club.

So I'm the only one who laughed out load at his quotes? José probably laughs himself to sleep each night thinking to himself how on Earth we're top of the league with no strikers. There's no way he could've seen this when he first joined. Don't know what the big plan for a forward is this summer but it will be a shocker I think with the way José talks about it. If he is already saying that we'll be "favorites" for the title next season then he's obviously very confident that we'll pull of the move. Wouldn't shock me if we got more than one top forward. Also wouldn't totally surprise me if the Lukaku rumors of him being sold were true.

True.+3 goal difference with £100m spent. Christ that's bad. I remember posting before the season started that Spuds would have a damn nice midfield with Dembele, Paulinho, Sandro, etc. but it hasn't been nearly as effective as I thought it would be and their attack is atrocious.

Top 4 essentially locked now? Spuds simply cannot score goals and are now 6 points behind Liverpool. Not insurmountable by any means, but with the form Liverpool are in I can't see them failing to make top 4 with no European matches for them to focus on.

Not watching the game but by the sound of it it's a typical Spuds game. Playing like complete shit. An 80th minute penalty or jammy 89th minute goal from a scramble on the goal line is inevitable. Incredible how much they've spent and can't score at all. Ridiculous that they're even in contention for a top 4 spot.

Liverpool have been and will continue to be massively helped by the fact that they aren't in Europe. That's what makes a win like yesterday's all the more important for us. We have to pile on the points while we actually have plenty of rest in between league games. Would they still be playing at such a breakneck pace if they had a packed fixture list? Doubt it. A part of me really hopes Spuds can pip Liverpool to 4th. That way Suarez would hopefully want off and it would bring them back down to Earth and hopefully set them back a couple of seasons. We really need to step it up and get back into good form. The 4th place side is still right on our tails.

I tell you what, I wouldn't complain a bit if we bought Bony as a second option next season. If we got a Cavani or Costa as first choice Bony wouldn't be too expensive. Cavani, Bony, and Lukaku is a very nice looking set of forwards.
