They are so poor without the ball.

We’d be cruising with a competant goalkeeper and if Nunez wasn’t kicking the ball to every white shirt he can see.

Without even disagreeing with you, those goals didn’t require a top class keeper to be prevented…

Never quite sure what game you are watching…
We’re not transitioning quickly to a compact shape on loss of possession but otherwise have been quite good…

He’s not set as he isn’t anticipating the touch, just poor technique/positioning

i just told my wife how we take it for granted and been spoilt with Ali in goal and only notice it in times like this when he is absent

I wondered what changed? The quality of the opponent?

Darwin really annoying. Shit hairstyle, straying offside, claiming non existent penalties, doing nothing productive.

Oh, did I mention shit hairstyle?

Ah, fair enough on that point. I just thought you meant that we are spoiled as a fan based (as in always winning and playing well etc.). I misunderstood. But yes, Allison is of course in another division compared to our second and third keepers (I just wrote something about that below (or above this one) actually !

That first half sums up where we are atm I’d say! We’re v dangerous and creative in our attacking play. Some lovely technical build up as well. But on the counter decent sides find it so easy to cut us open. I’d get Endo on. He’s just that bit better than Mac and Gravenberch at breaking up play, taking the fouls, slowing things down etc. when we’re in a bit of a game.

Jurgen has to refocus our team. I don’t think Fulham can keep up at this pace for the 2nd half. Elliott for Gravenberch on 60. And Gakpo for Szoboszlai.
The 2 goals given were from sloppy defending. We need to tighten up at the back and retake the midfield.

That’s true. And he should have saved. I will note that he might have indeed saved if he played a bit more and was match fit, but he won’t, since Allison is in any case better.
But point taken. It was weak, sure.

“doing nothing productive”

apart from winning the ball back in key positions on more than one occasion.

Going in the direction of the initial shot until it was deflected

Nah, Endo for Gravy for me.
