Why is all this Timo Vs Tammy dick waving going on? They are prominently playing in different positions.

If you are looking to compare a player to what Tammy may or may not do then Havertz is the one you need to microanalyse.

I get that passions run high, but maybe  ease up on the infighting and ad hominems. It’s ok to have different opinions on our players without resorting to that. Can I say Werner did well in setting up Ziyech without being called names?

Haha name calling? What a tough guy you came at me first but you seem very upset. I think calling me a twat should get you banned? 

I hope not, this little tiff has been the highlight of the half

Hes basically Dirk Kuyt with less goals.

Bang on - looks less like a pornstar though!

This is the Mendy we had in his first month

Huge save Mendy. Would have been the worst possible time to concede.

I'd love for him to play more but i think Kante or Jorginho for Billy needs to happen at half time. We haven't been in control of the game or defensively and it's just far too risky to continue this into the second half.

Decent on the attack today, even if we are still a bit wasteful, but defensively, we have been very poor. We can't deal with the pressure they are putting on us and if it wasn't for Mendy, they would be ahead by now.

This on another day stuff works both ways.

On the same token I can say if it weren't for Areola we've as good as done the job and we can look at taking Mount and Chilwell off with Tuesday in mind.

"He started, miss, honestly."  Sheez, how childish can you get with those gay slurs.

Yes. Reminds me of my schooldays in the 70s. I thought we'd moved on from that in the civilised world.

Please, Tommy, please don't take Billy off.

If he does, I'll be pretty pissed. If he is going to allow more experienced players to have a poor half, he needs to do the same for the youngsters, they should all be treated equally. It doesn't help that he's getting no protection, he's constantly isolated in midfield with nobody anywhere near him. Fulham just put two men on him and force the error. There is nothing he can do about it because there aren't any team mates anywhere near him.

Gilmour has been left on an island. We shd bring on Kante for ziyech and let Mount play up top bcoz he has no intention of tracking back

Watching this game no wonder Fulham is going down. 

It is so easy to get behind their d line and find player between the line. 

It's clearly that Fulham are targeting our central positions, they press on Gilmour and put more players there because Mount is always stepping forward. We need to fix that before they will break us from there.

I like our attacking buildups, Mount and Ziyech are the players with key passes, Havertz has to be freelancer around Werner and Werner is in the game with a good chance for Ziyech.

Not a bad game from both sides actually, we should score the 2nd as faster as we can to finish the game. Fulham are fighting for their lives and they will do everything to score. We have to be ready, we need these 3 points.

COME ON CHELS!!!!

I get the number of changes but we have been less than ordinary

Fully agree. No room for homophobia on this board, I hope the mods will take action. @Mod Stark

missed the first half, came on here to see what the consensus was and some sort of bickering has broken out - no idea what that's all about

Call people whatever you want, I don’t care but Peter puffer? Why?

Whats wrong with gay people?

Because of his excellent record I’m disinclined to criticize Tickle but what do those 3 offer up top, I know the score line infers differently (goal was excellent) but I can see Fulham getting the equalizer and that’s it. Never going to get anywhere when our top scorer in this comp has only one more than Fulhams on 6 goals. I know Temo Havertz & Zyech are the expensive new toys but give somebody whose proven at scoring goals in this league a chance over the same miss after miss after miss.

I agree with this.

we have not controlled the midfield. And it is risky how we are letting them walk through us.

surely 45 mins for either kante or jorginho would be ok. Or we could bring Reece james in the DM role and put Cho as right wing back.

He's also struggled to cover any spaces when we have been organized in 3-5-2 when Fulham have the ball though. It's too easy for Anguissa and Lemina and the others to walk past him.

Not trying to put Billy down, tough game for him to be thrown into but he's not helping us here. And since the team is more important than any player i'd say he has to be hooked.
