Pretty much sums it up. This all seems so far away from the heady days of Bielsa where we might have lost games but it was at least exciting. We have the worst attacking line up in the Premiership and nobody (except maybe the Board) should be surprised by this. The negative German Clown only makes it worse when he leaves our best attacking options (Willy and Dan James) out of the line up. Calvert-Lewin looks worse than Barndoor - at least he ran around every now and then. Unless we bring in some new players very soon, this is going to be a long and inexorable slide towards another miserable relegation.

You have Tanaka, James, Gnonto etc and they would have matched up fine against their tired players or subs. We were outcoached

We were also v v unlucky - watched their goal back Rodon?s fault for not jumping which left the FB with no chance.

He definitely set us up v differently to Arsenal.

Last 20 Fulham went for it and we tried to cling on. What is also obvious is how much of a gulf in class between us and the teams who have established themselves and spent well.

That game last 20 was made for Jospeh and Rana to come on and make a difference - another of his faults.

Sad reality there is a lot of better quality in the prem compared to us.

Squad
Manager
Ground
Coaches

It will take time and money to bridge that gap.

Fulham new stand is impressive and must generate significant income for Fulham but to be fair a pint of Guiness was only ?5 which for London is a relative bargain.

Also don?t think Farke is half as clever as he seems to think he is.

Nuno keeps us up.

And yes, we offer a lot to the right coach. There is a gulf but we have a good squad, great support, good ownership and a good youth academy

Some of the established team in the prem are not that good this year and Forest is a clown show ownership.

Watched some of the Forest game pre Leeds’s game - Ange seems to be trying to get them to play Angeball straightaway and they looked clueless at times.

Horrible to say but as much as we need to pick up points we need others to lose. Kind of want Burnley to go well today but from a Leeds perspective a drubbing helps us.

As much as I don’t like the scousers, I want them also to thump Burnley, sorry Alf, only for our hopes.

Best defensive performance by any team in the PL (newly promoted or not). Without a daft challenge leading to a second yellow, and an equally stupid hand-ball, Burnley would have gained a very deserved point. Scott Parker deserves a big round of applause.

That was almost as cruel as our defeat, not quite, but almost.
