cosmicway 1,333 Posted September 14, 2024 Share Posted September 14, 2024 Taylor tried to equalize it for them by not giving the foul and letting them counterattack but he was unlucky. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,098 Posted September 14, 2024 Share Posted September 14, 2024 Some referees just want to make the game about them, thin skin, no understanding of the game or ability to keep their cool and think about the game on a deeper level. Still, rather he be a ref than a policeman, he'd probably be arresting and/or shooting at random Chelsea fans just for existing. robsblubot and Vesper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted September 14, 2024 Share Posted September 14, 2024 Happy with this win, but I hope either James or Gusto are back in the next game. No more makeshift right backs. Fulham Broadway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted September 14, 2024 Share Posted September 14, 2024 Having had accepted beforehand that grinding out a close late win at Bournemouth is our new level for now, I was actually able to enjoy this game a lot. Celebrated that Nkunku winner like mad. What a nice sneaky fox in the box goal that was . Sanchez was great for once. Motm. Made all the stops he had to smartly, decent in his passing but finally what a penalty save. Not a great shot but not too shabby either. perfectly timed leap there Also happy that Maresca listened to me and played Nkunku as striker. He is simply most effective in and around the box where his sharp football brain and instinct sets him apart from others. I still don’t trust Fofana. Disasi was the worst player on the pitch, really not a RB either. veiga and Caicedo were okish in that double pivot. Some great tackles paired with weird turnovers. Bournemouth were quite good and marking Neto, Palmer and Noni tightly, so when they got tired Sancho got to play out his strengths and change the game.

Pizy 18,953 Posted September 14, 2024 Share Posted September 14, 2024 What we desperately need now is Lavia back for some control in midfield. It’ll help settle the defense and it’ll help link the attack together. Also makes Caicedo’s job much easier and I thought even today with a new midfield partner Moi looked fantastic for the most part. He was everywhere.

He twice made big mistakes that could’ve costed us. I just disputed being so loaded in midfield when Veiga ends up playing there. IMO he does not have the mobility for this position. The opposition today was very poor. Their subs in the second half destroyed their team as they could not string two passes together. Yes, Maresca packed the midfield with the CAMs which caused them problems, but their subs evidently arent like ours in terms of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see those 2 huge mistakes which luckily did not get punished but also 2 great tackles where he broke up Bournemouth and initiated the counter. Mind the boy is 20 yo and has almost 0 top level experience (Swiss league is dross) . I think he did well overall and looked very comfortable on the ball.

Yeah I don’t think it’s a good sign that Caicedo was everywhere. He’s extremely mobile and can do a good job winning the ball back as well as defending from counters, but he had to work too much today. he’s good mid, but not a very creative force. hope he stays fit tho esp considering lavia never plays.

Fair enough but I think that the PL demands a bit more mobility in the CM position due to the pace of the opposition players. Everybody got pace in the PL. granted that given his age switching to midfield would still be possible.
