I can't see Onomah not wanting to go back to Spurs . Not even some of the best teams in the country can play like spurs do so what chance would Bruce have?!

Isn't it all relative? Spurs are one of the top teams in the PL we are supposedly one of the top in the Championship why can't we dominate in our league?

I'm glad someone pointed that out. I'm pretty sure Bruce had mentioned something similar prior to the game. Also, before yesterday, they had the second best away record in the division.

Cant see that myself ever happening. I think jokanovic will be best bet for that style of football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their keeper put the ball out so many times in the first half people were laughing at him. I agree with your assesment on the keeper and i think we can all pick out individual incidents that are relevant to an opinion....which i respect yours. I think that overall Fulham showed me enough to say, that they know how to play football....but they are not without criticism either. I also think on the day, villa showed how they know how to win matches....and they did. There are bits and pieces we can all pick up on......and do you know what, we are right, but so what.

TRO Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) The simple fact is despite what you thought of the content of the game. Steve Bruce beat Slovenia Jokanovic. Fact. Edited October 22, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, we could have scored many more goals had we of been clinical.....how ever i think Fulham in general played very well in terms of their football prowess. had it of been at craven cottage the result could have been different. as for Fulham playing poor......never in a million years. good side.

No team is perfect. Good footballing side but very one dimensional at the same time for me, in that they had only one way of playing even when it was obviously suicidal to keep messing around as they did at the back. A good example of there being more than one way to play football. On this occasion Bruce got it right for me (for most the first half and half the second anyway, which is something !) As it happened I thought the contrast - and the space !! - made for an enjoyable game for the first time since I cant remember when. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are a good side. But good sides can play poorly, as they did first half as their manager has said. That’s about the 4th time I’ve clarified that. Regardless of if you agree or not, the distinction between saying a side played poorly and are a poor side is fairly obvious. Man U are a good side, they played poorly yesterday it doesn’t mean I think they are a poor side. And saying they are a good side doesn’t change that they played badly. And yes, a games of two halves. Fulham played poorly in one and well in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...... i think you are respectfully failing to understand what i have said....my opinion. I am not interested in Man Utd and what they did....I am talking about our game. I think ( my opinion) we beat a team much better at keeping and playing with the ball as us. I think Fulham are a good side and I think overall they played well against us.....but we beat them.

Could the same not be said as an appraisal of our result last week? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
