OTF

Needs more confidence tbh. Looks like he's got qualities but is too afraid to show them (which is more or less what Man Utd fans were saying about him). I'd like us to give him a fair chance, hopefully he'll improve once he gains a bit of confidence, Exactly. Seems to be badly lacking confidence. I think at the very least we need to give him a decent run in the side to gain that. I also think he prefers playing on the left, so it can take a while to get used to beating a man down the other wing.

3 points and that's a great start to the season points wise. Still playing cack for the most part, but while the points are coming that's ok particularly at such an early stage of the season. Shame we had to concede out first goal but on the balance of saves Krul was outstanding.

Krul. Whoops.

Alan Smith. Shit.

No hat trick for Best. Hopefully some good experience for Vuckic.

Krul. Quality.

Martin Jol must have a really shite record against us surely? ...touch wood

Bit harsh, it's not like he's not got a history of doing the above. In the context of a game where in the first 20 minutes we looked more likely to start a stamp collecting society than score a goal.

Quality Tiote 'tackle' compilation.

Actual quality from Best there. Obertan finds Ba with a cross field ball. The defense made a meal of Ba's swinging ball into the box, when it got to Best he turned nicely and snapped a quick shot off. Amazingly he's on a hat-trick.

Hopefully just a temporary impact injury here to Cabaye.

Great run and cross from Simpson there.

Great save from Krul after some weak defnding from Simpson. Good cross and run for the header, so not all Simpson's fault.

Hope we can push and get a second before we're in the shaky 1-0 lead mode.

Best! TaPs in the scraps from CAbayes dangerous shot.

TBH we looked most dangerous when we crossed it. More to do with Fulham's ordinary defense than our good attack, probably surprised them after they spent most of the first half doing nothing. Hopefully we start the second with the same pep that we ended the first. Lovenkrands has to come off - after someone confirms that he's still in the stadium.

Just wide from Raylor on the outside of his right.

Tiote is looking for trouble out there. He'll find it at the hands of the referee soon. Good work Obertan. Best fucked up, unsurprisingly.

Decent header from Jonas, but the scoreboard was never in trouble.

That's paraphrasing what he was saying.

Fucking Best, permanently offside.

COmmentators criticisms are warranted IMO.

This is out of Raylor territory (free kick)

Tiote coat hangered by Saylor.

Took 20 minutes for out first nice passing sequence. Up until then we were playing like Wolves last year.
