As boring as Enzo’s game was, I was quietly hoping to see what we can do using his style in the PL. I was just hoping we can add some flair. Right now, we really can’t even control play or the ball for more than a minute even against a mid table team like Fulham.

Every so often it's like he is still here and there are some nice patterns of play. You can tell Kristianson never played under him.

 

I guess cooper will gradually coach it out them but it's clear when Fulham got tired and stopped pressing an Enzo build up would be effective.

Fatawu needs to calm down a bit. I think he’s overthinking it, rather than playing off his instincts as he was last year.

It’s his second PL match. He will find his way.

Won't happen but I'd bring Mavidivi, Ricardo and Skipp on for Reid, JJ and Ndidi. 

Yup forgot about Justin....he's just doesn't figure much in games

[RonnieTodger]

Fair play for getting back into the game. We were awful and it’s so easy for Fulham to get crosses into the box. 
 

Got to step it up.

if they go down with that shiney new stadium

Would love to see Cooper be brave and proactive with making some changes early on. 
It would be a good sign for the future if he goes out and tries to win this game, rather than the "wait and see" we are all tired of. 

[Number 6]

Wonder if that goal would have been given if Leno hadn't pushed Vardy. Bit sloppy from Vards.

They're more a settled team but we're competing...could have been a couple down at half time

[Lcfcokay]

Not good not bad. Fulham obviously the better team. Encouraging we found a way back in to the game  like  against spurs shows we’ve got abit of a backbone for once 

 

Need more of a threat down the left. 
 

a couple of quality additions in attack/creative spark desperately needed however. 
 

 

[KFS]

Mav and Skipp please. Need to retain the ball just a touch better. Tell Fatawu and Facundo to calm the **** down 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Done alright there - away from home against an organised opposition who can cut you open if you give them too much space as we saw with their goal.

 

It’s noticeable Winks and Ndidi have swapped sides compared to Spurs - I think that’s in recognition of Traore being on Fulham’s right.

 

I think Cooper’s also conscious of Jan’s lack of pace - and may indicate why he’s swapped him and Faes over (compared to last season) and is playing Justin to just sit and tuck.

 

It’ll be interesting to see what he does in way of changes through the second-half.

It’s one of those where by the looks of it Everton look absolutely dire and destined for the drop. Only for us to nip them at the end due to a points deduction. We think we’re bad. 

[ozvaldo]

A point at Fulham is a decent result.

But we can definitely up the ante in the final 3rd and go for it. They’re nothing special. 
 

If Ayew scores the winner, he’s instantly a new hero.

It really feels like we are a Championship side trying to beat a EPL club in a club tie.

Everton and Forest are Championship sides and they're still in PL so I can't see your point.

Also for 45mins we were the better side vs Spurs and today we have gradually grew into the game and been better from the 35mins-49mins.

Yeah, I think it will come with time. Still had some good moments.

They will be 18th for 9 months and shithouse their way out on the last day. Every other year.

That weren't as bad as some of the comments in here and that's coming from a man who'd wake Steve Cooper up at 4am in the morning with a vuvuzela to sack him.

 

This style of football has its limitations but we also create some fast openings. Weighing it up, it's probably our only hope in principle this season but there's definitely things we can do better and the manager needs to be driving that from them when they do try and get possession.

 

Just me who's been massively impressed with Faes so far this season regardless of his goal? 

 

Mavididi has to come on for Reid and I can see Ayew being on for Fatawu on 60/65 too.
