O.k. first half. Wöber definately proving a point. But if we concede can`t see us coming back without taking way more risks.

How often is Aaronson where the ball is. He is a nuisance for Fulham. Contrast his all action (flawed at times) display against Roca, Rodrigo and Harrison. Aaronson and McK are the only players battling for the ball and working their bollocks off. Players who hide are the ones that piss me off.

Well Gracia has the score he wants at HT, Wober Cooper, Summerville and Aaronson have been the pick of the players

He’s been energetic, active, and has pressed well. It’s Harrison and Rodrigo who have been out of it today. Aaronson and Summerville are the only ones up front showing any initiative.
Aaronson does not have the self-belief to run through on goal and shoot the way Jimmy does, he offers no threat. Being busy and. Losing the ball is crap right enough.

If I could have one wish granted it would be for Aarronson to remain standing at the end of a play. His constant falling over is getting on my bits

I’d take a steady, mistake free performance to be honest even if it’s boring. We do look awful going forward though, repeatedly passing the ball out down the left and getting nowhere. Aaronson as much as he tries, achieves sod all, surely be better with sini or gnonto there.

Agreed, good movement and some nice passing... Harrison on the other hand has been anonymous

Right now Gnonto for Harrison would make a massive difference.

Anyone any clue about what the plan is?
No idea. We're abject of ideas going forward. We're holding on but offered nothing up front . Aronson needs to stop falling over and expecting a free kick. Hopefully Fulham's heads are on the beach and somehow we can muster a goal from somewhere.

He’s been our only ball winner out of the midfield, though…so there’s that

Holding our own without much threat,

If you were put Aaronson and McK in a blender you might be able to make a player out of them.

AAaronson has enjoyed most of our good possession but he is like Grealish without talent.

Defensive unit playing well

McK has one tackle and one pass to his name

Harrison, Rod and Jimmy look isolated without that central lynchpin to hold us together.

My sub would be Gnonto first but I think Javi will keep it like this as long as we can.

Indeed. Brenden is working his ass off to get on the ball. When he does it's one on three every time with nobody other than Summerville making a run. Harrison has been flat awful. Rodrigo is pressing. But other than that has not made dangerous runs off the ball.

Bring on Bamford for Rodrigo. Gnonto maybe for Harrison?

Well said, DDB! I’d being on Gnonto for Harrison. They don’t respect him at the moment and he looks a bit tired and less energetic than in games past.

Aaronson may be moving be he runs into traffic because he lacks the strength to hold off tackles and create any room.
IMo he has been programmed by Marsch to run do that and as a result never LOOKS UP and picks a pass
