Deja vu. No positives at all. Probably needed at least 4 points from these games and we've taken 0 without laying a glove on our opposition.

Time to get rid of the goalposts at the end of the KP that we're attacking. They're redundant.

Better still, get rid of both lots. At least then, we're guaranteed to get a 0-0 draw.

We showed fight to win 2 1 at the death. That answered your question not what you're arguing now. Anyway, I think the managerial appointments are poor. RvN as well as Cooper. Only went for RvN as a name. He's clueless. 

Not really, I was countering your point that Ruud is lucky to scrape the results he did but Coopers were through grit

Ruud hints that our work rate was the problem today, and I have to agree with him. Thats whats concerning

The only one showing good work rate was El Khannouss and he took him off first.

****ing grim. RVN starting to look clueless. What was the plan there? Bizarre first half where we spent the majority of it wasting time and playing with no intensity.

Second half a shambles. Taking Bilal off completely destroyed any momentum we had building.

 

Completely sick and tired of wasting my time watching that shit. The club is a mess and I don't see any way we can move forward. The squad is shit.

First half wasn't too bad, we looked alright with decent combinations down the left with Kristiansen, Bhilal and Mavididi. We were causing issues and something was building. 

 

**** knows what happened at half time and second half.

The delicious irony of you trying to claim the intellectual high ground over me, when I never even quoted you in the first place.

He should stick to crying about Trump.

First half was drab but we pretty much matched them and didn't look too terrible. Second half though... Jesus! Fulham upped their game ever so slightly and just blew us away. I know it's a cliche and overused but I really don't see where we get another win from as we've played a crap team and a fairly standard team in the past week and lost convincingly to both. Fans seem to have finally turned (2 years to late) at least. RvN can stay or go I really don't care. Itl make no difference. Getting rid of Rudkin is probably the only way optimism can be rekindled in the fanbase right now.

We didn’t lay a glove on Palace or Fulham. Henderson and Leno had the pipe and slippers out. Easy to slam the defence but you always up against when our attack is as strong as a wet breadstick.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy Post Match vs Fulham

 

Similar to Wednesday?

RvN: “No. I don’t agree. Today was extremely disappointing because it wasn’t good enough in all aspects of the game. I saw more Wednesday than today. Of course results hurt and are disappointing, but today there was a lot more because we lacked in too many areas that influence on winning a football match.”
 

Reaction to chants against board and boos for your sub?

RvN: “That one I noticed (boos for El Khannouss sub). It’s okay. You have to accept it and I am. I’m making substitutions to impact the game. It can be in different areas, physical, profile of a player, the opposition. When it’s not received well for once now then I’ll take that one.”
 

How to build confidence back up?

RvN: “It’s good to have a couple of days to reflect and come back. We have a full week, more, towards the next game. We need it to recover physically and mentally from this game today.”
 

Why were team so far off it today?

RvN: “It’s something we have to look back on and think about. At this moment, I don’t have the answers for that.”
 

You said club were offering transfer support in January. That still there?

RvN: “Yeah, because we welcomed a new player in a position that we needed. We only have one right-back in the squad and he has to play everything. That’s a good start. We continue to look for the players to strengthen the squad in the possibilities.”
 

Want more than one new player?

RvN: “Of course, you want as many as you can. We have to face reality and do it within the possibilities. We’re trying very hard to do so.”
 

Specifically why did you bring El Khannouss off?

RvN: “Because the crowd boo one substitution of me, it doesn’t mean I have to explain all the reasons behind the substitution. It’s not for the public to know. It’s respect to the players who come on. They are valuable members of the squad and deserve minutes to help this team as well. It’s not about one person in this team and in this squad. That for me is very clear.”
 

Coulibaly missing?

RvN: “The paperwork wasn’t ready yesterday so he couldn’t train the day before a game. It’s not possible to include him in the squad. But he will be there next week.”
 

Conceding second-half goals - why?

RvN: “For me, it’s about today. The disappointment is big because we lacked in all aspects of the game and that’s before, in the other games that I’ve managed. Today is the most disappointing one for me.”
 

Worried the players might be affected by toxicity?

RvN: “We have to deal with it. We cannot change it. We have to face it. Don’t feel sorry for anybody. We are professionals and we have to deal with it. We have to make sure that we perform so the crowd is up and supportive. That’s our task. There’s no other excuse or explanation necessary. It’s up to us and sometimes you deserve criticism and you have to accept it because it wasn’t good enough and do better next time."
 

Toxicity not helpful?

RvN: “We cannot change it. In the moment, if something happens like that, it’s only a sign, for us as a team, as a squad, as a coaching staff and manager, to stick together more than ever. That is key to survive.”
