I’m as happy as anyone with his upturn but where was he before?

Out on the right wing?

Tense match, discouraging draw.  Most discouraging thing is I’m disgustingly satisfied to take a draw.

Get Holgate and Maupay on.  Go 5-4-1, save DCL.

We're playing for a draw

Maybe get Holgate on for Gordon.

Good to get the exhausted players off.  Maybe we can hold on for a draw, or a miracle.

Gordon hustle, then blecchhh.

Basic, basic passing.  Not our strength.

We do love an offside.  I don’t know, maybe all strikers do.

Hopefully Patterson will bring Gordon into the game more - he’s been lamentable today.

Lamentation is our lot.

Fulham look like scoring, we don’t.  Might get lucky and somehow nick one, but we’ll need luck, lacking finishing skill.

How can Gray be offside, looking down the line?  Too dumb.

If play is the same the second half, Fulham look the more likely to win, as they seem to have better finishers than we.  We just don’t do nearly enough with opportunities.  All those corners for Fulham, too.

Probably should be 1-1, with good crosses by both teams.

Gana tries to do way too much with the ball against 2-3 defenders.

Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing !

It’s possible Lampard knows more than I.  Understand, I’m not conceding he does, just admitting the possibility.

I will continue to fret each time Gana Gueye acts the ACM rather than the DCM, and will continue to (1) curse the heavens each time he advances even so much as one step ahead of Iwobi/Onana, and (2) advise Frank both pre- and in-match.

I do like Frank and will not, should our boys lay an egg in some upcoming match, call for his head, nor even utter the phrase, “Frank’s lost the plot.”

Would like to see Garner given a go, Gana was by far the weakest of the three.

I thought so, too.  Gana made both good and bad plays.  I thought he actually played better today than in the last 2.  But still think he could use a rest.

We’ve passed Palace, temporarily up to 11th.  Though we’ll drop to 12th after Monday’s WHam-Bournemouth match.

What a difference a high press makes. Excellent performance all-round. 

Amen to both points.  Thinking your first point was major reason for the second?

Not MOTM, but Coleman has played superbly today.  I did not think he could last 95 minutes.

Ah, I jinxed him, as Zaha got past him......

Good heavens, what beautiful football!  3-0!

Get DCL and Gana Gueye off, please.  Rondón and Garner.

Subs, Frank, c’mon.

Not unhappy it’s getting chippy, as that might get us re-energized, which we need.  This isn’t over.

Has to be a yellow for Zaha

Red, maybe.

Offside, I guess.  Nope, he’s on.  Gotta be 2-0!
