Yep. Sanchez can't be blamed for this. Everybody has been really sh*t and off it today. Like they weren't prepared for the Boxing Day game at all. So slow, reactions from most players terrible, just all over the place.

You could see by the reaction at full time how up for it the Fulham players were for this one. They outplayed us all game I thought.

Silva has pulled Maresca's pants down and slapped both his arse cheeks here ...

Leno decided to have the game of his life, our players and Maresca didn't take the match seriously.

There's your recipe for a loss.

It seems a lot of players have the “game of their lives” against us. Does my head in. 

 
  • Arrgghh

PSA to people who are saying the title race is over: We were never in a title race. Games like today and last weekend pretty much shows that we are not ready.

Utter f**king sh*t. And embarrassing as well. That was pathetic. God help us when we next come up against good sides if we can’t get anything out of Everton and Fulham. Who do we screw up against next?

Isn't that half the problem. We think we're better than these sides and oddly enough we get undone by teams with more fight and energy

 
Game management after Nkunku came on was just so, so wrong. Why was Gusto still vacating his position when Fulham was attacking that left side all game? 
 

Instead of Maresca praising Pep in his pressers maybe he should give us reasons why Felix isn’t playing. 

 
Infuriating, deserved loss. Jackson should have been hooked after 15 minutes, Felix and Nkunku I can't blame if they're looking to leave given how they're being used (or not used to be more accurate).

Cucurella being upfield and offside when Sanchez sent it forward for their second just about sums the game up, dawdling and sleepwalking through the entire game.

I thought we were rubbish today bar the 1st 20 mins.

No real desire to take the game away from Fulham.

Got what we deserved, transitions were too slow today.

On the bright side this defeat illustrates this team is not ready for the pl title. Striker goals keeper and CB are desperately needed.

Given how much City and Arsenal have fallen off, I think there is a title winning squad here already, but they are being held back by the tactics for me ...

Like Nkunku you mean? He did less than Jackson.

Well, of course, your entitled to your opinion Gordo. But I am convinced that if N'kunku got the consecutive starts and minutes that Jackson gets, and if even a third of the chances that regularly fall to Jackson, fell to N'kunku instead, we would score a lot more goals and look a lot more fluid up front. 

But that's never gonna happen Gordo, because N'kunku is going to be sold and, unfortunately, he is going to show his class at another top European team. And it will be on Maresca.

 
Pretty much all our weaknesses we've seen over the season came together today in one game and haunted us. Questionable striker who goes on and off depending on the game, poor defence and questionable goalkeeper.
