Yes, that'd have allowed Caicedo as the RB. Ipswich used a lot of long balls which tests our defense directly... which tbh sounds like a great strategy against us. 😕

Delap is a good player; very intelligent for his age. agreed with above though — he’s limited skill wise.

Not to mention the CB in question.

This level of opposition could only beat us with intensity and overall physicality. and that’s exactly how they’ve beaten us. 😕

Offside anyway

They were prob clear to play last 25min I assume quality of the roster is super important in these comps.

Forced rotation likely (CK check), but we will know after the game.

Noni has always been a one-trick pony; his play either works and he beats the D line or he brings little to the team. he’s a sub at this level and he thinks otherwise, then he should go elsewhere. nkunku looks even less involved and effective.

From a team perspective, this has been WAY too slow and laborious. You can’t play the PL with this tempo.

Yeah prob CK forced the starts, but they can prob play in the second.

Almost Cole!

Tbh wouldn’t mind seeing both Neto and sancho for the second. Maybe even James on the right wing. Felix and Noni did not do enough for me.

Agreed. No wonder he has been employed as a false 9 before—does not work hard enough.

Got to keep it down buddy! Caicedo on the shot

Agreed. It’s an away game, but they are not a very good team. Fulham has quality players while Ipswich is just pace and power.

Ridiculous play acting by Cucu again.

Nice run and finish by Felix!

Noni ha been pretty poor — need to up his game.

Passing is all over the place… simply not good enough so far.

Disagree very little contact and a clear dive.

Yeah weak but not enough to overrule the field decision

Felix in a nutshell there — how easily he got dispossessed almost leading to a goal.

"Creatine kinase (CK) levels in the blood are used to assess fatigue and recovery in football players. CK is a diagnostic biomarker that can indicate muscle damage caused by exercise." The goalie swap is still odd though: goalies usually don't require rotation.

prob the blood exam forced rotation regardless of what the manager wanted. The goalie swap is interesting tho. 🤔 I suspect Jackson's rest might also include a warning from the Manager, like on the decision side.

Salah is better than Vini for me because he’s more skillful in tight areas. Vini relies more on pace and power, and Reals game plan—he struggles for Brazil against low blocks.
