Fulham fans comments after 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United – Interesting | OneFootball

Fulham fans have been commenting post-match.

Intriguing to read what they have been saying about Newcastle United…

United making it four wins in their last five games in all competition.

Whilst for Fulham fans, they have now seen their team lose four Premier League matches in a row.

Fulham fans comment via their Friends of Fulham and FulhamWeb message boards:

‘I think Newcastle’s high press strategy worked perfectly and we just could not get a foot or a hold in the game. Any kick-outs were straight back in and a pile in of more pressure which leads to mistakes.’

‘Marco out, simple as. We need a manager who learns from mistakes and isnt afraid to change it up’

‘Let’s have a bit of perspective. We’ve just lost three away games to good sides and a home game against Arsenal.’

‘Iwobi was Newcastles’ best player, they received from him many nice passes.’

‘6 minutes was a joke. After we scored their player was lying in the goal for at least 5 mins.

10 subs.Goal celebration . Everyone standing around me were all saying at least 10 mins.

I think if they had’nt scored it would have been at least 10.!!!

No bookings for the home side.’

‘This is one of several major flaws in this game. No one knows how much time will be added, and after that just when the final whistle actually blows. It’s ridiculous. Even the announcers/commentators in many of these games have no clue how much will be added, and oft times are surprised at how much or little time is added. I don’t think even the players on the pitch know, nor the team coaches. On a late corner and trailing, hard to decide if keeper should race forward to add another attacker. It’s a joke.’

‘Can’t just blame Bassey for this loss but his two mistakes were huge. Newcastles high press and our inability not to clear our lines and take our chances cost us today.’

‘I want to give a special mention to Issa Diop. He dealt with Woltemade really well. Outmuscled him all game. Even made some good passes, and unlike the rest of the back 4, he didn’t make mistakes(apart from that one moment towards the end, but I feel like Bassey and Berge deserve equal blame, it just seemed like a total lack of communication).’

‘A friend up here told me to vote for Bassey as MOTM… but he is a Newcastle fan… so he understands his importance in their win!!’

‘Did Leno really make any saves today you wouldn’t expect any other PL keeper to make?

Went back and looked at the shot chart and I’m struggling to think of one. The save on the second Murphy breakaway was pretty good (like how he came out and closed down the angle) but if we’re being honest Murphy’s shot wasn’t the best. Other than that, I’d have been EXTREMELY disappointed if he’d conceded from any of the shots he saved and frankly think he could have done better on both goals.’

‘Fulham continues to give away wasteful balls in dangerous places. That is what was their undoing again today. It was a good goal for Fulham that started with Kevin after making his debut, but sadly Fulham were on the back foot for most of that game.’

‘I thought we were ok for the most part today, but again bad defensive mistakes cost us. Very entertaining game, but we need some of these to start falling our way.. and soon.

Interesting how things changed when Kevin came on for ESR.’

‘Newcastle are having problems of their own and are not really in form.’

‘Bassey surprised me today and didn’t have a good game. Probably should have let Caunca keep his spot and given Bassey another rest. Kevin looked good and did a great job getting in the cross for the goal. Thought Traore did well in the first half, getting the ball into dangerous places and putting in some good crosses. ‘

‘Probably one of the worst performances I’ve seen by Iwobi’

‘It was a match of Good, Bad & Ugly, but what made me angry was… Down by a goal, 6 minutes of ET and go into slow-motion mode. Lots a back and 90 degree passes with little urgency.’

‘A 4th straight defeat and Marco Silva goes into the Wolves game with his job on the line’

‘Hasn’t the Liverpool manager lost his last 3 games…is he off as well?’

‘Is that the same Liverpool manager that won the Prem last season?’

‘Then, by that logic, isn’t Marco the same manager that set the record point tally last season?’

‘I must have missed the cup we were presented for that. The Liverpool manager has plenty of credit in the bank, Marco’s credit is running out.’

’18 “fouls” awarded against were all dives. 11 fouls by Newcastle were proper fouls.’
