I don't know mez can't come for corners any thing 6 to 8 yards out and catching it as soon as he says keepers 3 should drop to the line automatically he s 6 6 there soft goals where letting in last two games and leave 2 players out wide on half way line cracked it MOT.

I would put Greenwood in a head of bam bam if he doesn’t do a job nothing lost,

14 Dec 2020 22:06:52
I think we got to ask why have all our keepers looked poor at commanding the area in recent years? answer is they have no confidence in the CB. Keepers can only do a small job they need to trust the CB's and other players who also need to do a proper job

any keeper would look poor in this regard in our current team. look at the best Schimelce seaman flowers etc. they all had CB's they could trust

keepers on high balls have two commands, mine or away. our keepers only have one. mine because we can't really do away.

And whiteman seriously? I like sam greenwood think he is a fine prospect but ahead of bam bam if he does nothing then nothing lost

Bamford has won a few pens and scored a lot of goals that is a lot to lose in my book?

15 Dec 2020 16:25:52
Bamford doing well this season and just about our only goalscorer of late. To drop him at the moment would be ludicrous.

15 Dec 2020 17:07:55
Agree with Bermo and Alf here. BamBam is undroppable.

15 Dec 2020 17:56:57
Alf, that is Whiteman to a tee.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Fulham v Liverpool - A Liverpool Perspective

14 Dec 2020 15:06:21
Fulham seem to be progressing. Not great at the start and from what I can see it was due mainly to Scott Parker keeping faith with the players that got them promoted. Since then there have been changes and not many originals left as starters. The captain was on the bench against Liverpool. Bielsa is keeping the faith in his own principals and some players. We have a couple of new starters with a mix of who actually starts or not. Faith in Bamford has paid off to a degree but faith in Cooper hasn't for example. Man for man marking at set pieces doesn't seem to be working particularly when you see who is marking who at times. Bielsa insists on a small squad which has its advantages but is a problem when you lose players. I hope Bielsa can get the team to evolve together with some of his tactics and decision making on substitutes.

Fulham's upturn in results and performances is concerning.

3 points against Newcastle is a must.

14 Dec 2020 16:40:09
Burnley and Fulham on the march but we need to take care of our own business and put some points on the board .

14 Dec 2020 18:23:36
Not really a march, more a start to crawl, but I expect they will pick up quickly.
A win is needed of only to calm the nerves.

I really can’t see past pascal Struijk’s inclusion against Newcastle, you can see Bruce licking his lips at any set piece situation. I’d be happy with a draw at the moment, it’s a shame both Llorente and Koch are out injured, that’s football for you, ask Liverpool.
It’s a bizarre sight to see Arsenal where they are right now, especially seeing the way they are playing. There are teams worse off than us.

14 Dec 2020 09:53:18
Yeah good shout re Struijk's inclusion, extra height in defence. I also hope for different tactics at set pieces with 2 men on the line and more zonal marking as opposed to mak marking which isn't working.

14 Dec 2020 18:34:17
you all know I love Struik for me he is 3rd name on team sheet after Meiliser and Bamford we need that height and power in the air and the lad can play.

14 Dec 2020 10:23:41
Struikh and Poveda in
Alioski. and Hartison on bench
Pablo MUST get game time

As for Arsenal, Arteta clearly lost the dressingRoom ( yes it does happen Ed0666)

{Ed0666's Note - arteta lost that dressing room the day Arsenal announced his appointment. Biesla hasn’t lost your dressing room mate.

15 Dec 2020 08:08:10
belisa has not lost the dressing room

we have to remember nothing has changed at leeds. we are still playing the way we always do. very good attacking football

we still have the same problems we have always had, no plan b, can't defend and Sunday league standard at set plays

belisa has always been about great strengths and great weaknesses. most agree his strengths outweigh his weaknesses. but maybe that balance of power is changing due to the quality of the opposition.
