Is it just me, or does Scott Parker have a tiny body and a disproportionately enormous head? 

[dounavilla]

If man city want to but doug back for 25mil, I'm considering offering driving him there.

Not been anywhere near as good when he first played for us. 

Walking yellow card as well.

 

[Big Salad]

Good confidence booster result

 

[calcifer]

Up to the 75th min 

Full time

[Villa87]

Did not see that coming at all. We were very poor for 75 mins. Get Jack back and who knows, we may just build up some momentum!

[briny_ear]

I enjoyed the last 20 minutes a lot. Trezeguet on fire! 

Let’s just draw a veil over the first 70, eh?

Saw the worst and best of this squad today.

Trez MOTM, obvs.

The one downside to this win!

Don't we always win them? So good to have them stay up, eh?

[BOF]

Grealish will struggle to get back into this side.

[Five Ken McNaughts]

Davis should get about 3 assists for that goal. Harasses Fulham into going backwards, wins the next challenge, races 30 yards and puts it on a plate for Trez. Bloody brilliant.

[kiltorken]

Excellent substitutions, fair play to trezeguet and keinan. 

Very disappointed with with how much Luiz has regressed since last season and early this season. Looks he's he's just going through the motions although to be fair he doesn't seem to be getting support from teammates, not being given a simple option a lot of the time.

So, we've now done the double against two teams this season (and funnily enough both London teams, which bucks our poor against London teams trend from the last ten years or so).

The huge tactical switch apart from the subs was we were playing 20 yards further up the pitch. We've been too deep recently.

Overthinking things.

Trez taking up a central position on the edge of the D.....where many score from.

2nd was him at the back post again, golden breeding ground for goals.

his positioning was key for those goals.....and his energy/urgency was welcome, too.

That was **** ridiculous. 70 minutes of really very poor football, no creativity at all, and deserved to be behind. Then two underwhelming subs, and wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

I did not see that coming, but enjoyed the Trezeguet redemption arc. Great assists from Traore and Davis too. Great stuff, keep that momentum going, it's only Liverpool up next.

You forget the great Mings assist, feel he deserves credit for atoning for her error. 

[Denaldinho]

A wins a wins I'll take it

See this time after time, no one there for us makes set pieces and corners so frustrating.

Yeah he looked a man possessed getting forward after the mistake.

He's a big character and a very important member of this team. 

[gaffer85]

Only thing missing from the last 15 minutes was a kienan goal maybe next time

[Chindie]

Martinez - fine. A couple of routine saves, one cross he completely missed, but nothing really to worry about.

Cash - back to the player we've seen most of this season. Good stuff.

Konsa - usual solid performance.

Mings - an absolute clanger put us behind, but rectified it with setting up the equaliser.

Targett - another solid performance

Luiz - anonymous

Sanson - hasn't got his feet under the table yet and clearly still getting used to the league. More glimpses of his talent but not there yet.

McGinn - pushed forward but didn't quite get into the game. The best of the starting midfielders but that's a low bar.

Traore - bluster for 70 minutes. Made the third. Massively frustrating player.

Watkins - no service, ball never came to him and as a result basically did nothing. Clever enough to nearly get a penalty in the first half and nicked the third. He'll have better days.

AEG - completely useless.

Trez - comes on, makes a move, scores. He's obviously not the best player in the squad but he's got that move in him to nick a goal and works bastard hard. Fair play to him.

Davis - more time on the pitch and he changes the flow of the game. Makes the second goal, and probably stakes his claim for some more time on the pitch.

Ramsey - comes on late but gets into Fulham straightaway, couple of nice passes, showing why there's faith in him.

Stolen 3pts there but hopefully asks some questions about how we're playing.
