No idea why we revert to back 3, I say take one of the CD or Azpi off at HT and play the 433.  We need the goals, if we beat 2:3 because of the 433 so be it, but it looks a slow death if we keep playing back 3 and let them cruise to 3 points

Potter has to be the worst manager since Roman came by a country mile, we were 5th when Villas Boas got sacked I'm pretty sure. It's been low mid table form ever since he came here.

We look semi competent up front with Felix in it but defensively we are a shambles. Been a long time since I've seen Chalobah play this badly, him and hall need hooking. Mount been anonymous as well

That's because he hasnt played much. Back end of last season, he had a little run in the team and was making mistakes then too. 

No chance he would start for any team in the top 6 or 8.

People want stability..maybe we are trying that. No one here seem to believe in it. 🤣🤣

You don’t utilize youth by throwing them into high pressure environments. Hall looking shaky is hardly his fault. 
 

5 at the back

Havertz and Mount starting 

Koulibaly starting. 

Azpilicueta at RWB. 
 

Come on Potter. This is amateur sh*t.

Get Koulibaly and Chalobah off, bring that new bloke on and go to a back 4. Maybe Hall off as well.

Looks like GP's team selection is based entirely on drawing straws

Might be easier to identify who we want to keep 😉

Probably the most coherent we've looked in the opposition half for a while. That isn't really saying a lot but still... it felt like Félix alone had as many shots on target in that half as the entire team did for the whole of the past three games.

Silva and Zakaria (as ever) are trying earnestly to make sense of the total chaos around them. Hall and Mount are putting the effort in to push up and win the ball high up the pitch but have been unsuccessful in everything else, and Havertz is starting to link up with his much more fun strike partner in interesting ways. The rest have been a disaster.

We're clearly not fantastic, but I don't think we're playing that bad.

Yes plenty of individual errors, but I still think there was enough in the first half for us to win here tonight.

Would you rather have a horrible end or endless horror?

We had stability under Tuchel. Literally sacked becuase he wasn't a yes man to our clown chairman.

Connor looks like he’s coming on 

45 mins to save Potter I think. 

Cruel really given we played okay with the ball. Felix played with freedom and looked good. He'll be an instant hero if he can pull us from the fire.

He is not going anywhere.

Felix's levels will drop soon as well. When he realises this is the level of the bar, he'll be like ah, okay, drop 2 gears now. This is easy, this lot are sh*t

Cannot argue with that

Too much is made of the crisis meeting. You can't force anything at this level. We have 11 first team players injured. Fulham is an excellent side and can win anyone especially a side that is struggling big time.

All our lads par Felix look like they are ashamed to be on the pitch.

Not that actually ashamed to f**king try though eh.

mount, rlc

teams have learnt pressure our defence and they panic like school kids.

He doesn’t know how to setup a team.. under TT we were oils press high up with our wingbacks.. here we drop off and wait to get picked apart..

Suppose game by game we will find out how stubborn our new owners are….

We’ve been bought out by guys that have zero understanding of football, bought below average players for crazy money and employed a buffoon to manage them. 
 

God I miss Roman 

Yeah the good old days when we were breaking the British transfer record for Lukaku.
