I'm relieved as much as happy. I thought we were going to manage to throw it away again.

 

Some excellent quick interchange passing, we looked almost good!

 

Nice to see effective use of the sub's bench too. I thought Ndidi was excellent today, I think he's much better when he has free reign as the defensive midfielder.

[UniFox21]

Ndidi was a monster again, breaking up play which led to our first goal. Funny how when you let him just do what he's good at, he comes back to his best.

 

Barnes is looking better with every game, some brilliant skill and passing today. 

Maddison and Tielemans are really linking up well, they're starting to form a great partnership. Let's hope it lasts. 

 

Downsides were Chilwell and Gray looking pretty average for me.

really impressed with Barnes maturity for Vardys second. he could have passed it when Vardy first wanted it but Barnes knew Vardy was in an offside position.. he waited, vardy repositioned, passed and goal. excellent play.

Great shot by barnes that curling effort

Let's be honest, any side should beat Fulham.

We need a young Okazaki type player

so more dangerous having two forwards high press like the way they both do.

Than just Vardy and having defenders ping it past him as he presses alone

And if you can't find one, I'm fine with bringing the old one back for one more season.  Rogers gave him a run today and I think Shinji responded well.  I think he can succeed in the role he played in this match.

Even better save, extremely unlucky to not have that hitting the net.

Great to square the ball at the end for Vardy rather than going alone.

The strength and pace he's showing is really promising.

Yep, nice refreshing performance at home. But it was Fulham, and they passed it round us for fun in spells. Any good side would of been all over us in that game.  Showed some nice forward play but we still lose shape when teams one touch pass it in the midfield.

Was a great save. Kasper made a similar great save first half.

Thanks for posting. Top Man

[UniFox21]

Mendy looked completely reinvigorated from what we'd seen in the last few months. The man was everywhere. 

 

Same with Shinji, he was running as in the title year. 

[Xen]

Tielemans and Ndidi were excellent in the middle, Barnes looked good and Vardy was back to his best. 

 

Gray, Maguire both poor, and Chilwell wasn't particularly great either.

 

Maddison gave both ends of the spectrum today.

 

Subs all had a positive impact. Ghezzal was decent if unspectacular (but better than Gray), Okazaki harried well and Mendy was great - back to how he was at the start of the season.

[UniFox21]

And that save Kasper made from Mitrovic at 1-1, absolutely top class. His reaction saves are still one of his best traits

Madison is a positive player, a bit lightweight but has made  more key passes than any player in the premier League this season. Get off his back you mugs

Can you post a link to back this up please.

Rodgers shouting at gray in the first half saying "what the **** are you doing!?" 

 

To which gray just said "what?"

 

His head wasnt in the game for some reason today.

 

Him and barnes were switching sides in the first half and gray then comes over to the left on the same side barnes was playing. 

 

Never saw or heard puel say things like that. Exactly the kind of charisma we have been lacking.

At 70 minutes we looked like we'd lose. That's not good against the worst team in the league at home.

 

Good points:

Vardy is back

Tielemans looks class

Barnes looks outstanding

N'Didi had a very good game

We passed forwards 

Jonny Evans has become clearly our best defender

Wes didn't get on

 

Bad points:

The crowd were being outsung by the 5 fulham supporters in attendance (apart from the first few and last few minutes).

Maguire had a poor game

Other than Harvey Barnes we were far, far too slow moving forwards

Chilwell,Maguire and Kasper had a nightmare for the goal

We need Choudhury's engine in midfield

Gray lost the ball a lot (but did good defensive work).

 

I'll take the win and look at the good points but we really should have put these away in the first half.

It has been widely reported everywhere. FT fans just like to critisize certain players and not others - like the player who wasted most of those key chances.

[lifted*fox]

similar in terms of keeping possession (thank fvck) but with a bit more intent (also, thank fvck). 

 

fulham are absolute dog poo though and we shouldn't have expected any less tbh

 

the one thing that impressed me most is that for the first time in years players were always moving about in the opposition third, looking for space and making runs. 

 

we've looked so fvcking static from the end of Ranieri, through Shakespeare and through Puel - it's nice to actually see the players looking bothered.

How did ghezzal do. I see he came on when 1 all. Did he contribute? 

He played better than Gray is what I heard.

[smr]

Ghezzal played alright i just wish hed run at defenders more and cut inside on his left. I think he will do well just needs more confidence and game time.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Really happy this evening, Vardy was class, I hope we can sign Tielemens he looks quality and again Barnes is going to be a star, might even watch MOTD tonight for once

[baldeagle]

Great result but the game just summed up a lot of our season in one . Some great play that was exciting to watch then falling to sleep and looking clueless  at times . Great to get a win and as others have said we’d have lost that under Puel . Best for me was Barnes looks some player some of his flicks were lovely . Worst was Harry love him to bits but needs to concentrate on defending

he did. looked much more dangerous and creative on the ball.

 

gray was fine for the first half but couldn't get into the game at all in the second.

 

I actually think Ghezzal is the better player and will have more impact the more time he gets.
