Very poor defending we had about 5 chances to clear the ball properly

No Goal for you

Harsh. There was nothing Clark could do there and it wasn't going to go to a Norwich player

We really need to get ourselves a midfield again. Bring on Tonev, Bacuna or Sylla for Wiemann

Started very very poor but came back into it for the last 10 minutes. Wiemann and Clark should have taken their chances and Benteke was poor when he got through.

Still think we can come back into it but we have to stop making it so hard for ourselves

Anybody seen the Daily Mail's transfer special? They believe we have 6 million to spend and link us to Jermaine Jenas   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2337146/Premier-League-transfer-special--ins-outs.html

Great reporting there

He's a decent squad player but for his sake I think it's best if he leaves. He really needs game time now and is unlikely to get it here. A drop down to the championship for a season would probably be good for him

Whatever about the performance and result, main thing I'm annoyed about is that they scored in the 19th minute. We'd gone 37 games where I was worried that someone would score during it but against wigan we started with an attack and I relaxed, then Boyce pops us and scored. The time on sky sports shows 20 but when I checked on my stream it was 19:55

Only one sub left. Probably won't change the match but I'd like to see Gary Gardner given a couple of minutes

That's at least twice now that Gabby should have passed but went himself

Don't think you can really blame baker there. Vlaar should have gotten the initial header and it was just unlucky that the clearance hit him

Don't think Maloney dived but it shouldn't have been a free

I'd play Bent, he deserves the chance to play. Whatever about him leaving, when he's dropped for Benteke he can't really complain because he's dropped for a better player but to drop him for Bowery in the CF position is just a kick in the teeth to a player who hasn't done anything wrong. Plus if he does well it could add an extra million onto his price tag

After that if we're doing well I'd like to see someone like Gary Gardner, Carruthers getting a run out as a sub.

said in the match thread the benteke / ramires high boot arent the same!

 

ramires - trying to win a bouncing ball at head height with his foot

 

benteke - trying to control a high ball dropping over his shoulder

Which was shown by the fact that Ramires got a straight red. Benteke got a second yellow

The first one is actually a lot closer than it looks in your picture. I think it's Lowton is very close to being in line with him (i.e. half his body is keeping him online) on the other side of the pitch.

They were all offside but they were all very close decisions where only half a players body was offside and that can very easily be missed in full speed.

Thought he should have come and caught the ball for their first goal tonight but didn't really do anything else wrong other than that.

3-2 to united with them getting 2 goals in the last 5 minutes.

We should have won that. We were the better team for most of the game and kept Fulham to 2 half chances. Despite an unlucky own goal and a missed sitter Delph had a good game. Bennett defended well and helped helped out with the attack

Some really poor decision making and lack of composure up front. We did the hard work of getting in to the box just to waste it too many times

Should have drilled it back to Bent

Fulham look like they are happy with the draw

Didn't think that was even a free, no idea why he got a yellow

good play and save

should have scored

fantastic
