Still no yellow for Havertz

No clear and obvious. Move on.

What a bunch of softcocks

Konsa has struggled tonight. I'm okay with this.

Yet the massive shirt pull was not a yellow on them because he played advantage

Very lackluster after the goal. Need to get a bit of energy back into it

Sensational from Bailey

Brentford ridiculously lucky not to have Onyeka sent off too 

The absolute stench of this result

Phil Foden had as many fresh-air shots as his entire team had shots 

Martinez far and away our best player but he was doing my head in bombing it long to Bailey in a one on one situation.

Bailey has the strength and resilience of a wet paper bag at the best of times and it was one such long ball from Martinez that led to their second goal.

Overall it was one of those really disjointed, lethargic performances we tend to have in us when the opposition is pressing well and it midfield decides to play statues rather than push hard to find space.

Hopefully the boys will be up for it for two very big home tests over the next 7 days. Four points from these games would be amazing.

While Arsenal, Liverpool and City are next level compared to us, I think we're definitely in a good position to finish 4th.

Was really unlucky with his effort last night

His touch to control that ball from Olsen was very nice too.

I thought Cash had a great game today. Made some telling tackles, kept possession really well and got in behind them quite a bit. And didn't murder anyone, so that was also a plus.

Duran was also fantastic in the second half. Certainly didn't play like a sulky prima donna who hasn't bought into what Emery is preaching. Got bodied by their defenders qute a bit but responded with maturity and focus.

Outstanding second half Alex

Duran is on a mission second half

I don't think we play enough to his greatest strength which is his pace. We have him very central at times, trying to take on giant central defenders in a feat of strength.

I think that is the trade off though for the amount of chances he produces for Watkins. 

And the prize for most consistently astonished after being flagged for being miles offside goes to ...

McGinn unplayable, Tielemans masterful and Bailey had a huge impact.

Would've loved to see Moreno for the last 10. 

I thought the ref got most of the fouls right but if he'd produced a few yellows in the first half there would probably have been only 9 Fulham players on the pitch at the end.

So they put the flag up straight away for us but leave us hanging when they're well off 

Great running from Bailey

Sheer porn

Great stuff by us but you just know the first card of the match will go to one of our players for something completely innocuous.

Has there been an explanation of why Lenglet's goal was ruled out?

I suspect that corner was given because the ref couldn't believe Kamara managed to miss that goal without a massive deflection.

Great vision from Doug to go over the top to Ollie. Sometimes if there's a bus in your way the only option is to go over it. We need to find more avenues to goal when the box is packed so I expect to see that option a bit more frequently.
