Yep, the usual s*ite on here because we've lost a game. Moving on hoping for a discussion.... (If only Mitrovic hadn't been fit!!). Olise and Schlupp in midfield really doesn't work and Zaha should not play in the centre. Vieirra really needed to change things at half time, stick on some harder working midfielders and a striker that can earn the odd free kick. Out of the whole team I thought Ayew did the most to get stuck in and won a few tackles, We didn’t just lose a game, we took disinterested to a new level and put in performances as poor as I’ve seen in many years. A loss is a loss, but this was I’m afraid a bit more than that. As Becky mentioned earlier our lot are a miserable looking bunch, no-one playing with a smile on their face. Maybe there is a dressing room problem with the manager, who knows, but I don’t want to have to experience that sort of rubbish again this season.

Bournemouth up in the next game. Hat trick of losses against the newly promoted sides - that must be a record!

How have we managed to win any home games this season with essentially the same team? What was different today? Expecting Tomkins to replace Guehi is a big ask, and it showed. No recognisable centre forward, it showed. Small details that illustrate the bigger picture, which is Vieira doesn't know what he's doing. Edited by southnorwoodhill (26 Dec 2022 5.19pm)

Christ, calm down people. These things happen. I'd say all the three big decisions that went against us were, in order, very harsh (Mitchell, overstretched but nothing much more), devoid of context (Tomkins second yellow against a player who spends the whole game pushing, blocking and nibbling and should be expected to take the same in return, but instead has now got two players sent off this season through his play acting), and finally totally correct (f*** all wrong with thier second goal, poxy VAR had no place getting involved). Another week, the same events could very easily result in very different decisions, but that's football. Doesn't mean the team, manager, coaches, chairman, tea ladies etc are s***.

On my way home…think everything has been covered! If the players are behind PV, then they need to show it against Bournemouth. Team selection was wrong! Ward has been a good centre back when used - Tomkins was just woeful. I could go on and on - but we move on to the next game.

Absolute f***ing disgrace of a performance. We all knew we had it in us though, all the cracks were there before. The moron manager not playing our best striker, players out of position, effectively one midfielder to lose the midfield battle, the full backs horrific in build up and constantly losing the ball etc etc etc We need to f***ing grow up, we'll be heading for the bottom 3 at this rate

does anyone honestly think Fulham, Brentford and Brighton have better players than us, no, ours are far superior, but they have passion, enthusiasm, determination, a style of play and a manager who can manage, can anyone explain to me why they think PV is a half decent manager

Wow what a s*** show. What have they been doing during the world cup break ? Miles off the pace even when it was 11 v 11.

Stats according to BBC: Fulham 64% possession, 23 shots, 11 on target Whatever excuses one tries to make about a bad referee, the cold fact of the matter is that for team at home, that's truly f***ing pathetic and questions need to be asked. Edited by southnorwoodhill (26 Dec 2022 5.31pm)

That was a car crash but not worth getting your knickers in a twist over. We were poor up until the first goal/red card double whammy. From there is was a mountain to climb, from the Tompkins red card it would have needed a Christmas miracle. It was a freak game with two red cards and have been a lot more than 3. The players still battled to the end to try and keep the score line respectable. Disappointing, yes. Talk of Viera out, no.
