March 3, 20197 yr We lead, but I'm not overly impressed with that half, I think Fulham are getting through that midfield and running at our defence too easily. We have had some great chances though, and we should be out of sight by now really. Azpilicueta is having a good game I think, probably the most consistent performer today. The rest have been up and down. Hazard and Willian aren't really in the game, Barkley is struggling again, he doesn't seem to be aware of what is going on around him. Kante has been a bit shaky, the defense as whole look a bit shaky too. Higuain has had plenty of chances and should have more than 1 goal to his name.
March 3, 20197 yr Some good football and nice to see Hazard on the right at times. Without Kovacic we look open defensively and means Fulham will have a good chance on the counter. Good to see Higuaín get on the mark again, well again. Bad defending by us on the corner, FFS. Next goal is important if we get it I think Fulham will fold if not the bare white knuckle ride starts again.
March 3, 20197 yr Decent first half. Could've put the game to bed already, but lacking that cutting edge Defensively still shaky against counter attacks. I'd almost rather us give Fulham the ball instead of attempt our poor imitation of tiki taka.

March 3, 20197 yr Author First goal pretty close to a sarriball goal as we have seen so far, 2nd goal our first goal from outside the box from open play ??

The ball was in the net before the keeper could even react. 99 times out of 100 that goes in without the keeper having time to react. You're nit picking.

March 3, 20197 yr I just don’t like Willian and Hazard as a pairing. They both drift infield all the time and at times during that first half they were both trying to occupy the same spaces. I look over to the touch lines sometimes and there’s just a massive void where I think a traditional winger could really excel and exploit that space.

Also, once we get into "tiki taka" mode, they both tend to hold on to the ball far too long, as they try to dribble past 2-3 players. Hazard can still pull it off, but Willian can't
March 3, 20197 yr WE need to build on this and get another coupleof goals. To me our defence is suspect
March 3, 20197 yr Should be hitting the target from there. I really don’t see what Willian & Pedro bring to the team offensively that CHO couldn’t and probably exceed if given the same opportunity as those two.
March 3, 20197 yr His hand was out from his side, if that was the other end, bet it would have been given.
March 3, 20197 yr We need a few more goals. Almost everyone else in EPL improved their goal difference against Fulham.
