Tonali

And Murphy justified it

Really pleased to see Tonali sign this and I agree with Zip, I think the way we handled his ban has had a massive postive impact on him as well.

And he missed a sitter with that one on one as well, he needs to be an impact sub Elanga and Barnes are both much better overall players

Scored the harder more instinctive shot and bottled the easier one-on-one shot where he had to think... Typical Murphy. Love the lad but that shows exactly sort of player he is.

The elite level wingers/strikers put the opponent to the sword and doubles the lead there. Take it round the keeper, give him the eyes, or audaciously Lob the keeper even.

The first half goal mouth scramble in which Nick hit the post, could have gone anywhere. Would have made the the game a lot easier.
Elanga had a powerful shot blocked.
Bruno's header before his goal was unlucky but he should have done much better there.

At least in this match the lads had shots on goal and looked a threat through out. Peaks and troughs.

From the stats and on the eye, it wasn't a game that we don't control.

The passing was sloppy and the decision making at times was pretty confusing.

Burn along with another's played some passes directly to opposition players in dangerous positions. Fortune favoured the lads today, a better team or a more accuracy from Fulham coud have seen the result go the other way.

No doubt Eddie will be highlighting this in the analysis when they sit down on Monday.

Sorry, but Elanga has looked like a Championship player so far this season.

Murphy starts ahead of him easily, currently.

I'd like to Barnes on the right with Gordon on the left one day. Reckon Tonali and Bruno could make them two some passes that could send them past most defenders in the league.

I thought our defence (strangely) looked more solid when Botman was replaced by Schar, but then I realised that Tonali had also come on so it could well have been that.
