big Phil Billing, not just the tallest outfield player in the prem but statistically one of the best midfielders. And we just deploy him League One style as a long throw merchant, where 3 of our goals have come from. I once nodded at him near Dixons Ice Cream parlour on Leeds Rd and he nodded back so I exaggerate what an amiable young lad he is.

isnt vestergaard about 8 foot high haha?

yeah but phil's impressive barnet pushes him up to 6 foot 8.

wait til the electrical survey, he'll be out til 2020

Never mind his ankle, he looks 8 months pregnant in that pic.

"that you in there Mitrovic?"

It's a particularly unflattering kit.

The notable shift this season has taken place lower down, where a group of clubs are in danger of being cut adrift even before the leaves have finished falling from the trees, with their plight so desperate that league victories in November are celebrated like winning cup finals in May. They are playing survival football with 27 matches remaining.

lol! that us. If its going to be 22 points to stay up this season then perhaps they were right to celebrate that win like a cup final. Whatever happens this season, after the meagre scraps of entertainment in recent times (first home win since April and lots of games where we look like the Belgium putting out a red carpet for the Wehrmacht) then relegation might not be the worst outcome tbh.

Lowest ever safety total was 34 by West Brom. Wouldn't be surprised to see that beaten this season.

Ought to provide useful perspective for our moaning cunt section but of course it doesn't

our Belgium carthorse Depoitre has looked a shadow of the player of last season since he had a hair transplant. And thoroughbred baldie Mooy was looking back to his best the other night. There might be a lesson in there! I can't work out how Fulham can spend a 100 mill and still have a useless, unfit donkey like Mitrovic upfront and such a terrible defense - it might take them another hundred mill if they want to stay up.

You be several points better off with a useless unfit donkey like that, he's got five goals for them this season. Which is one more than Lukaku and as many as Salah, Morata, Martial and Huddersfield.

true, but on Monday night's showing he won't get many more this season.

I'd even put money on him not getting into double figures on monday's showing. Perhaps Fulham started with that newly promoted momentum thing, but the magic is gone now!

They do look in disarray. It's alright trying to play total football but I think a coherent defence is supposed to be part of the total

if Jokanovic was responsible that last minute of the transfer deadline 20m swoop for Anguissa then he should be gone already, especially as their defence obv needed strengthening. Sometimes I think our tightfisted chairman's try before you buy policy might be boring, but vindicated when we got Kongolo for the same price after a loan period.

jesus, it was 30m they spent on Anguissa, fucking insanity!

now Arnautovic is a striker with 5 league goals this season who really makes our defence shit their pants.

*blasts out 2 unlimited I Like to Move it at full volume*

wow it should be 3-1 to Town already, we on fire!

ffs we were playing some lovely football before my stream died.

I don't want to live in a world where Cardiff have 2 wins under their belt

Ex Leeds scum with the winner as well:(

2pts dropped there, but bravura performance all the same.

Lol no zaha

surely that isn't allowed?

Poor Charlie Austin's tiny brain has broken

this foyth kid is abominable, as are spurs

foyth is talented but this tactic asks our defenders to play all of our football and its been an issue all season

what a player this sissoko lad is tho

lloris with the threaded through-ball between 2 palace strikers

Spurs deserve to concede a comedy backpass goal.

hey theyre trying!

i have no idea at all where our points have come from this season, this performance is actually above par tbh and its rank

none of our attackers tasked with anything more difficult than competence

all defenders expected to play like fucking hungary 54

this is stupid

if i have to watch alli turn another chance to cross from the left wing into a ball to our centre halves ill open my fuckin neck

we should send that goal back undwr duress from the hague

should now be three up ah well

Deems just out of interest did you enjoy the brief reign of Jaques Santini when no defender was allowed to ever leave the penalty area? Including the fullbacks.

Nice of the Palace players to put the ball out of play when Lamela was down with blood streaming from his head.

nobody enjoyed jacques santini

its a question of workload and ability, theres a dozen midfielders behind kane and they have no job at all but to touch it and pass it backwards afaict

if we had players quicker or with a better touch/pass than davies (tbf it works with rose and intermittently with aurier/trippier) then great but as it is we're maximising ball time for wanyama, sissoko, davies and davies and its like offering the opposition a ready baked tactic

sissoko best game for us today tbf but still one bad loss of possession as last and a few poor passes under no pressure

Only seen the last 15mins or so but why wasn't Winks on from the start? It's not like we're overburdened with midfielders who can play the ball from deep right now.

How did he not score?

presume rested tbh hes been everpresent recently

xp which

how is he unmarked from a simple dropping ball is the question

Both!

amazing the skills we have keeping it in the corner when we fall over the damned thing from open play at 0-0
