Felt nervous that first half. When Fulham start moving the ball quickly they look dangerous. There have been good opportunities for us since the goal though; hopefully they continue and we can stick one or two (or more!) away second half. I have a feeling we’re going to need to score again if we want to win.
Can't wait for the anti Gray lot out in force tonight again. Good solid first half from all. Should really be 2 to the good.
Yes a two goal lead, changes the game completely whilst it's 1-0 an error or inspiration from Fulham puts them right back in it!
Such a pathetic 2nd half. 2 points dropped and i'm far more annoyed at this result than last weeks... Ffs you bottlejobs
Shame we didn't kill them off in the first half, but can't be too unhappy with a decent away point imo
What the **** was that 2nd half?! Should have been out of sight. A point is a point but should have been 3. Just gave up having any work ethic or footballing ability.
Only ourselves and Martin Atkinson to blame for this one. Blatant pen not given and Mensah should have seen red on 32mins. Our downfall was our wasted opportunities in the final third. Poor passing in that area cost us. Should have been out of sight by HT. Even in the second half our final ball just wasn’t good enough. Fulham didn’t deserve that, but fair play to them. They have snatched an undeserved point.
Would have taken a draw but feel it was 2 points dropped now. Jokanovic was always good at changing games with good substitutions and tactical changes. He did it to us today.
Odoi on at half time changed it for them, they were much more solid after that. We should have been out of sight at half time though. Gracia made the right subs, but each of them 15 minutes too late. Fine with a point, but more disappointed than pleased. Seri actually looked good for them, but there looks a lot of money wasted in their squad. Over £30mil on Anguissa and £20mil onMawson?! Lol! Capoue outstanding for us, MotM. Gray noteworthy as well.
Totally managers fault. Players were knackered after 60 minutes. The goal was coming. Manager should have made 2-3 changes there and then. Too late once the goal went in.
Good point - great first half, shocking 2nd half. Pereyra & Janmaat had a terrible game especially Janmaat bottling his challenge for the goal
1st game this season I have been disappointed by, should have had three in the 1st half and killed it off, luck not with us, then we let them get back into it and loss our precision Thought Fulham were entertaining , from a neutral point of view was probably a good game.
Fine margins as always. Troy guilty of not finding the right pass in the 2nd half. I'll take the draw though
A disappointing result. Should have won that with some comfort but once again the final pass was not incisive enough and we did drop off in the second half. Both fullbacks had poorish games for the first time this season. Janmaat should have been hooked for Femenia long before his error for the goal and we were losing too many second balls Gracia could have considered a 4-5-1. Fulham barely created more than two chances off their own bat the rest were counters from us gifting the ball away. As for Martin Atkinson no wonder he has been taken off the FIFA list. A critical decision which should have been a clear red card. Dangerous challenge, studs up and off the ground just results in a yellow. A very good first half effort which should have killed them off that was well below par for us in the second and allowed them back into it.
Horribly wasteful the entire game and I thought we were knackered and out battled in the second half. How Doucoure failed to slip in Gray and Deeney for Success I'll never know. Gracia really, really needs to start being more proactive with his subs. Doucoure looked out on his feet and Capoue clearly tired too and we were being overrun in midfield, yet Chalobah is ignored. Obviously it's not his fault the players were so wasteful and we should have been 3-0 up before Fulham scored, but that becomes irrelevant and you have to react to the game situation. Also, is it some sort of law that Success can only ever play from the 80th minute? A point away at Fulham isn't usually going to be a bad result, but considering the way we threw it away with so, so many wasted opportunities it certainly feels like one.
Should have drawn the defender first. This is perhaps the reason he is not being called up. Once again the final pass at the very end of a move is not precise enough be it to the right player or into the right area. This still needs working on.
We should have been out of sight by the 30 minute mark, and they could have had a player sent off, but it was a fair result in the end. We bossed the first and them the second. Gray was excellent first half. Capoue played well. However, there were too many non-performances in the second half. Fulham are good in attack and poor defensively. Gracia couldn't cope with Joka's changes, and took too long to inject energy and pace into the side, meaning that Fulham didn't have to worry about what was behind them and started pushing forward in waves. Frustrating, but an important away point nonetheless.
Ugh... Don't watch replays of that Fulham goal. Janmaat makes the world's worst attempt at a block. Kabasele not goal side. Amateur. So disappointed with that. Unprofessional really, bad goals creeping in with Man Utd and now that.
Awful second half, we looked like headless chickens. This one is all on Gracia. It was crying out to bring on Chalobah from 60 mins, overload the midfield, and wrestle back control of the game. This 4222 has been sussed out. Utd did it last week Fulham did it today. Stupid. Idiotic. Wasteful. Frustrating.
Draw was the fair result in the end. As been said before, overrun in midfield and Chalobah should have come on, but we should have finished it off in the first half.
I'm going to risk looking daft because the result and facts goes against. But the first half chances missed annoys me more and we were generally ok second half until the time of the game where fulham have no choice but to throw things at us. We'd also already made the sub people wanted which made us sit back more and come under more pressure. A single goal up with the home side putting in a better show, we generally kept them to half chances at most until the last 15 minutes. Should have gone one up front and stopped them getting crosses in,
When you are 1-0 up you either have to press on and score a second or play extremely well all over the pitch if not there is always a chance the opposition will score a goal, we tried as much as we could to score a second but couldn't manage it, they scored and that was that! Cant be too disappointed with a point, we didn't deserve all three! On a positive point performance and reward is so much more than our dour away performances under Garcia last season!
What on Earth was Kabasele doing for their goal?! Looking to mark an invisible man while Mitro waltzes behind him. Has every reason to be smacking the ground after it goes in.
