[heathgate]

Hmmm ... another March masterclass... in how to lose the ball, get outpaced, and missing chances.

Ref did us all a favor by blowing for half time.

 

[Swansman]

Credit to Fulham, doing well. Looking better for us in the last 15 but not creating much. Could see a half-time sub I think, Mwepu out.. anyone in, pretty much.

 

[R. Slicker]

Well that half brought me back down to Earth.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

At the moment this match is guaranteed to be last on MOTD.

No injury time says it all really... ended the half on top but don't look like creating much - very tight pitch not helping but definitely missing Welbeck up top

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Although the pitch is so narrow Fulham play even narrower. Half time I'd take off Mwepu straight away. Bring on Wellbeck or Undav and move Trossard to overlap with Estepinian on the left. Veltman and March to initially overlap on right but at about 60 bring on Lamptey for March or Veltman.

Get to the goal line and cut back ala Man city is probably the best way to score against Fulham.


REMEMBER - I'm only good as a manager on FM and this is real life

 

[RM-Taylor]

I’ll be amazed if Mwepu comes out for the second half. He unfortunately has been absolute pony

 

[Hamilton]

Poor Solly. He must be feeling a bit of pressure now.

Mwepu for Welbeck/Undav/Mitoma at HT please.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

We do seem to be getting the benefit of the doubt a lot from this ref. I won't complain.

Wasn’t sure this would be case when it was announced he’s from Yorkshire

The club call it crimson.

Well then I'm colour blind...

He was also the only Brighton player on the pitch to make a clever enough run to have any sort of chance in the first half.

Very easy for the rest of the blokes not to miss goal chances as they haven't created any.

 

[maltaseagull]

Despite not hitting the heights it feels like we're slowly getting on top.

Agreed. First 20 minutes we seemed unable to keep possession but got much better.
Solly should have scored though.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

It's a little bit tactical at the moment. A bit more nous required by everyone, ball is not sticking to feet, in fact, feet are not sticking to the pitch! Longer studs might be needed, then we can try and hold the ball up a bit more

 

[Gabbafella]

Well that was all a bit poo.
Not at the races at all, came back into the game towards the end of the half but we've not turned up yet.
Everyone dawdling way too much and getting caught in possession way too often. We need to wake up and come out fighting.

 

[heathgate]

Dunk and Webster have not been brilliant... but they are doing a job, just.

Mwepu is getting into decent positions but he looks like he is trying to rush things.

Trossard and Gross are being crowded out a bit, but still look potential game changers.

Pervis is settling in, but I like his crispness.

Very sloppy, the huge number of slips, receiving the ball off-balance, heavy touches - all points to tiredness. Pervis, Caicedo, Mwepu and Webster in particular. Still level though despite our worst half of the season so far.

Really poor match objectively, Fulham pressed well for the first 35 minutes but they dropped off for the final 10. We didn’t offer anything really despite the extra space.

Really missing a centre forward - specifically we’ve really missed Welbeck that half.

Still all to play for!

Need a forward on and move Trossard down the left.

Personally I’d put on Undav for Mwepu at half time and bring in Welbeck later if needed.

We need some German precision
