if we are going to play a tech midfielder with no pace at least lets use  fabregas who can find a pass, jorginho is dire not one decent forward pass all half.

after the goal fulham were the better team

Good point, when I used to work night shifts I'd often have a few sherberts for breakfast when I got home.

Cant be very filling?

i think Kovacic is injured? it seemed so. This would be a chance for RLC.

beginning to wonder myself, we have played just as 'exciting' football under other managers without the hype.  Maybe its because he hasn't got all the pieces in place yet, see what the two transfer windows bring before next season....I'll call this season one of 'development'

I think that is plan, maybe two seasons. That’s if our suits give him what he needs and are patient. Yea right.

Not the exciting of halves but we completely dominated that. Fulham did not create a thing. Obviously I’d like to see us score another least six goals but a win is a win. Don’t know why Alonso has been singled out, I can only remember one really bad cross, if players aren’t attacking the spaces in the box that isn’t his fault. 

We controlled the ball but this is how Ranieri sets up his teams. He gives you the ball. We need to score at least a couple. I think they will score at least one.

Go to Reddit. The NBC link works.  Dull game. Poor Fulham side there for a good beating but just not creating any good chances. Hazard hasn't been himself since he had that injury. Bring Loftus on.

OK first half. Hazard is some player, the way he holds the ball with 2 or 3 big players around trying to kick him.

Kante and Azpillacueta excellent again.

If Palermie doesn't get a chance today he'll never be played in the league.

Hazard hangs onto the ball too long sometimes

Alonso is dross today on those crosses.....need some muscle and drive in midfield....time for RLC I think

Not a good game to watch ,  

I agree, Hazard is slowing down our attacks a lot.

Kepa saved us there

It's because nobody is making a decent run to give him an option.

Great stop!

I thought Rudi put that in 

clear offside but reff gives corner f**k off and they almost score

Good save.

Ye thats a good point, but might be to do with the movement around him...lucky there.

If it is a clear offside , that’s on the linesman and not the ref to call that.

There is not a good vibe in the team. We are forcing things here. 

Alonso is absymal. 

We are poor against a very weak side. Not what i expected to see after the Spurs game

We are living dangerously and playing crap. Sort it out !!!

this is not going to end well is it?
