How do you know that fact or friction
posted by Percy jones (Guest) - Tuesday 26th August 2025, 8:13 AM Marco has always shown his emotions during games. If anything, he appears to have made a decision not to become so angry and shout his thoughts to the nearest official or microphone. He is clearly biting his lip now, giving not so controversial answers to reporters questions. (Not so controversial, but not so interesting either!) Frankly, I thought he had every right to be angry at Man U’s tactics during set pieces: corners and free kicks. I hope instead Fulham are taking behind-the-scenes action, using legitimate channels to challenge Utd’s clearly organised cynical gameplan.

Funny how things work out. Between the ref and var decisions, they took so much time faffing about the penalty poor Bruno Fernandez got himself in a tizz and forgot his lines and concentration which was good for us. They say that they are cracking down on the rough stuff that Bassey displayed and if true, they will also crak down on those kind of incidences in the penalty area. We will see?
posted by OWEN - Monday 25th August 2025, 1:58 PM TBF Bruno did not blame the ref in his post game interview. It was pundits that did that.
posted by MST (Moderator) - Monday 25th August 2025, 2:36 PM To be honest Fernandes did suggest the referee did cause him to miss the penalty…
posted by Dellers (Guest) - Monday 25th August 2025, 4:55 PM What Bruno "The Diva" did say was that the ref didn't apologise. Apologise for what? Bruno backed into him. They got six points off us last season with two flukey goals, this season it's one so far. Maybe their luck against us is finally running out

11. Neither Man Utd penalty nor their goal should have been allowed. Two points dropped down to VAR and ref. All things considered two points from those opening fixtures is ok. I agree we need a couple of wingers and more depth at 6 and 8. Striker would be nice but a goal scoring 10 would also please me.
posted by MST (Moderator) - Monday 25th August 2025, 8:39 AM Match of the Day pointed to clear fouls committed by Man U during the corners that led to their goal, and the play that led to the penalty. For example, Bassey was merely shoving off a player who was deliberately running full tilt at him. This type of play is premeditated and organised, and if mainstream programs like MOTD can analyse it for what it is, then the Premier League should be calling out their manager. (There may be an argument that VAR should spot it too, but they only have so much time during play for that. But it’s all clearly premeditated.)

posted by peterjeremy - Monday 25th August 2025, 9:09 AM Mr Angry, you are so wrong about Leno, and I almost made him my MOTM, as without him we would have been a goal down early in the game, and how different that would have been. Leno's biggest fault, is that he is just not tall enough, and that is a fact of nature, and there is nothing we can do about that. If that penalty had been on target, he would never have reached it, but then again neither would any other keeper in the league. Like all keepers he will have a bad game, but they are few and far between. West Ham have bigger problems in this area.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Monday 25th August 2025, 9:27 AM There’s more than just West Ham with question marks over their goalkeeper. A lot of criticism seems to come down to asking the keepers to maintain possession and play short passes around the back line. Leno is good at this, though many other keepers less so.
posted by peterjeremy - Monday 25th August 2025, 9:55 AM I agree Craven, Leno is just too small to be a top prem keeper playing against strikers and defenders over 6ft 3 ….this is why he can’t he command his 6 yard box, there is much to admire about his keeper skills but the very elite clubs wouldn’t look at him and was one of the reasons Arsenal were happy to see him leave. In a season he will cost us goals especially from set plays
posted by Mr Angry (Guest) - Monday 25th August 2025, 11:28 AM We would have lost the game yesterday if Leno had not made some brilliant saves. What are you talking about.

posted by Jim (Guest) - Monday 25th August 2025, 2:02 PM Ridiculous to compare Banks and Shilton to today’s game as players are on average vastly taller. That said, Shilton’s lack of height was always his Achilles heel, think World Cup 1990 semi final a taller keeper would have saved Brehme’s deflected free kick. Shilton good shot stopper and had a presence in his penalty box not just 6 yard box, same applied to Clemence; Leno doesn’t have that presence.
posted by Mr Angry (Guest) - Monday 25th August 2025, 4:51 PM Wasn’t comparing, but you said Leno is too short to command the six yard box , how wrong you are .
posted by Jim (Guest) - Monday 25th August 2025, 9:23 PM Bassey clearly grabbed a man and threw him down. No Man U player appealed because the players see it as normal behavior, The refs have been told quite rightly to eliminate it. If you did that in a pub you would be done for assault and sent prison. This assault in the box at free kicks and corners never used to happen and it must stop as impressional people will see it as normal behaviour.
posted by The Time Is Now - Tuesday 26th August 2025, 6:57 AM Jim you haven’t understood the game has changed since Banks and Shilton because of the height of players, but as mentioned Banks and Shilton were better keepers because they did command the box using their presence (organising, positioning etc) Leno does not have this allied with his lack in height means he does not command his penalty box, yes no doubt he is a good shot stopper but isn’t that the least you would expect! There is some interesting reports on why Arsenal let him go and that was his biggest criticism and watching him live with us it is clearly apparent it is a massive flaw to his game.
posted by Mr Angry (Guest) - Tuesday 26th August 2025, 8:08 AM For United’s goal the corner landed just on the edge of the 6 yard box, Donnaruma would have cleared everybody that close to goal, Leno totally incapable of doing this. This will be a continued problem for us this season.

We grew into the game and overall we deserved the draw i wanted to finish saying. Chelsea next week will be a harder test and the games against Leeds Brentford and Villa should give us points galore. I really fancy us against Aston Villa who are now suffering from the Europa blues that teams below the top 4 suffer for attempting to compete with the big boys. Yes we need a few more bodies to compete in this league but as we stand we don't look a million miles apart from anybody and maybe a few transfers will beef us up. The saying goes 'better late than never' and maybe after these two games Marco and the board can see where we are most vulnerable and put it right accordingly...

If we have a decent striker we certainly would have won. We are a very good team and a few top signings on the last day will change us for the better. With Marco's influence we can become a top team.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 25th August 2025, 7:12 AM Manchester United survive on reputation as do Chelsea who are playing well with a very young team. The very young fold under pressure and that is what we must do to them next Saturday make them fold. We have almost never beaten Chelsea home and away that must change. We have shown yesterday that Man U are at best an average team and we must show on Saturday that Chelsea are a very ordinary team who will hardly win another game after we have thrashed them nearly out of existence.

posted by ghost (Guest) - Sunday 24th August 2025, 6:01 PM Whew, it was a long journey home, but it was well worth it, with that well deserved point, and truthfully, not one I was expecting. It will be difficult to pinpoint a man of the match, as so many of our lads played well. We could start with Bernd Leno. I had a perfect view of that brilliant save early in the game, and had that gone in, it could have been a far different result. Tete, Iwobi, and Anderson had blinders, and ESR, apart from scoring looked like the player we though we had bought. Unfortunately I thought that Muniz wasn't very good today, and I don't think that losing him,will be a big worry. My thoughts are that we are going to have a reasonable, without being a prolific season, and we should really take our cup matches more seriously. It is however, very unlikely, we will be involved at the bottom, but this season we must beat the lower order teams, something that we failed to do last season.
posted by AC (Guest) - Sunday 24th August 2025, 7:37 PM Does that exclude not beating man untitled today seeing as they're a lower order team as you put it
posted by Why front (Guest) - Sunday 24th August 2025, 8:32 PM Yes, in theory at present United are below us in the table, but if they get it right, and unfortunately they probably will, they are still a power unit. We had the luck of the draw so to speak today, with that penalty miss, and in the end we deserved a draw, or more, but they are not exactly Ipswich, or Southampton, that we failed to beat at home last season, which was embarrassing.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 24th August 2025, 8:40 PM Could have been 3-0 after 10 minutes and a very different result, remember, Marco struggles to come up with a plan B if we’re getting tanked. Going to be a long season.

posted by Mortlake - Sunday 24th August 2025, 7:22 PM Yes Lukic will also stack up yellow cards and both berg and him are not the most creative. This is one of our hidden problems in this area of the pitch and T.N.O i think you hit the nail on the head. It is worth mentioning Palhinha who racked up yellow cards but the the one thing he brought to the table was not so much creativity but goals and some vital ones. Here is me thinking that Palhinha would be a liability for Tottenham but now it looks like Palhinha will be a very important and key component for them. Pereira just doesn't do enough but Smith Rowe we are starting to know what he is about and how to play him. It is worth mentioning Berg and Lukic again and compare them to Pires & Ljungberg. In the midfield, we need a lot more creativity going forward and maybe if we identify and get that one special player in there it would solve a few more problems further up the pitch.
posted by OWEN - Monday 25th August 2025, 1:28 AM VAR got the first decision wrong in fact a foul should have ben awarded to Fulham and VAR should have been involved in Man U 's goal when there was clear and obvious push on Bassey . Josh King not quite ready to start in these big matches , good to see Robinson back because he made a difference just a shame Sess didn't stay on the pitch and move to the left wing , ESR looks much leaner and fitter and should now start matches . Marco must have been worried about a threat from Man U down the left by electing to play Castagne on the right wing as it turned out it never materialised so maybe Wilson should have been brought on earlier . Well deserved point but we will need all of Marco's tactical skills against moneybags Chelsea . COYWS

posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 25th August 2025, 7:30 AM The refs will be cracking down on any rough handling like the Bassey incident, it's as simple as. They will award penalties for this now and i hope we learn this. Muniz was worth 50 mill last week and he got us a point and now not good enough, nuff said!!!
posted by OWEN - Monday 25th August 2025, 8:36 AM Muniz is not worth £50m that is the figure Fulham invented to stop anyone trying to buy him. He is probably worth half that. We need a consistent striker, Mitro always got in a position on the pitch where he thought the ball would come and he was nearly always right, He also scored about 70% of the good chances he had. These are the attributes you need for a top striker and our top two strikers do not show those attributes.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 25th August 2025, 11:17 AM Man U played without a striker yesterday could we not try that with say Smith Rowe or Wilson playing in the middle. The other possibility is to play Muniz up front with Jimenez just behind him if we are not going to sign a striker.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 25th August 2025, 11:26 AM Seems them two decisions unanimous by ex refs goalkeepers and pundits the only one that mattered was a ref who has a terrible time when doing.

Remember the good things about Muniz and he got us out of a hole against Brighton last week.
posted by OWEN - Monday 25th August 2025, 1:43 AM Muniz and Wilson come on when the opposition are tired and not thinking straight and their speed and movement pay dividends. When they start they are half as effective. When Mitro played the opposition knew we had an asset who could win us a game deserve it or not, what ever deserve it means.

Yes a shocking start for the Hammers especially against Sunderland, who would have predicted that one. Burnley get wacked by Spurs then revert back to type Championship level and then beat Sunderland 2-0, Parker will have a smug smile looking at table going into tomorrow. Brentford beating Villa was another shocker also but then again second season after Europe exploits shouldn't surprise. Watch out for the return of Buzz Bee if we lose tomorrow, that won't be a surprise! We need our 'A' game tomorrow for 90+minutes. Pereira will be going and it is up to the likes of Smith Rowe and Muniz who must score tomorrow to convince the moaners that we don't need another striker. Personally, i think this game will help us decide or sway a decision on whether we go in for a striker before the window closes. The rumour is that Mitrovic prefers a move back to London and it would not be a surprise if we didn't go in for him in the last hour, i would be satisfied with a Mitro come-back considering that our recruitment has been woeful this new season...

posted by bigbo4650 (Guest) - Thursday 21st August 2025, 10:55 AM Bigboy' i do recall you saying on here that Mitro will come back to his spiritual home. I guess we all or most yearn for some good news about fresh recruitment which there is a lack of. It will most likely be the last hour and minute before we know something which doesn't seem fair to us fans. I want us Fulham to do well and i think we need a few more players to compete with the best and even the lower clubs such as Leeds and Sunderland who had a flying start to the prem. That bit of news about Mitro's return lit a torch paper in me and i guess i need something to cling on to and Mitrovic was the last target-man that really got the juices going for Fulham. The ideal situation in my opinion is for a Mitro return and we keep our young improving prospect in Muniz and Jimenez and we are complete and ready for anyone but this is the real world and even if Mitro returns the reality is that Muniz will be sold if his contract to Fulham is not written in stone. I read this piece of news from givemesport and yes i know it might be rubbish but we live in hope that the great man returns...

Tarkowski should either have stayed still, or moved across more than he did. As it was, it was an experienced pro trying to get away with both leaving his arm down AND moving to block the ball as best he could, in this case with his arm. It was handball. Does anyone remember Edwin van der Sar keeping his hands down by his side but blocking an oncoming Man Utd forward, preventing a certain goal opportunity? We got away with it, though Alex Ferguson was livid on TV after. (Mind you, I don’t mind Fergie being livid as long as we stopped the goal.)
posted by peterjeremy - Tuesday 19th August 2025, 6:48 AM First games of the seasons are turgid in many cases and not much can be read into them I feel. Personally, I think that VAR has spoiled the game and is proving to do the opposite of what was intended. Yes, the technology is fantastic but it is still open to human interpretation so the game is slowed down and extended but we still have the same mistakes and debates. C’est la vie!
posted by MST (Moderator) - Tuesday 19th August 2025, 7:02 AM I agree MST , I was hoping it would make the game fairer were big clubs didn’t get most of the close decisions . And cut out human error but nothing changed and game has slowed down
posted by DMK (Guest) - Tuesday 19th August 2025, 7:54 AM I don’t know why improvements in technology that, on the whole, provide for better quality decisions should be criticised. It’s happening in all areas of life, so why not football too? It’s true that there will be ‘grey’ areas in what is inevitably a contact sport, but the overall quality of decision making is far less controversial than it used to be - or do people really want arguments and leaving a game with a feeling of ‘We woz robbed’?
posted by peterjeremy - Tuesday 19th August 2025, 10:12 AM PJ, as previously indicated, the technology is not the problem with VAR. The problem is that, the only non-subjective decision made using the technology is off-side so we still leave games believing "we woz robbed" on occasion and as also previously indicated, have the same debates as previous to VAR.
posted by MST (Moderator) - Tuesday 19th August 2025, 3:19 PM Thanks for your comment MST, but No, we can’t turn back time and Make Football Great Again (MFGA). The technology is with us and would be used by every TV company to scrutinise referees’ decisions. You can’t have the Premier League lagging behind, allowing Sky to screen and point out all the injustices on the field of play. To go backwards would even usher back ’70’s style discontent and violence as supporters seek to right the wrongs. The Tarkowski handball was a clear example of how technology assisted in finding the right decision - well, maybe the ‘best’ decision. As the Guardian reported, ‘…. Like pretty much every football manager, Everton’s tends to be pretty consistent in his (Moyes) view that debatable decisions that go in favour of his players are correct and to be commended, while those which go against them are not and should be criticised….’ David Moyes is just being very MFGA. And the Eze goal against Chelsea was rightly disallowed, according to rules brought in to prevent blatant fouls in defensive walls. It would never have been spotted in Pre-VAR days. Don’t like the outcome? - think of better rules, but don’t kill the messenger. The irritating aspect of VAR is one that you present as its virtue, MST - sorting out offsides. What look like good goals are disallowed when, after several minutes of drawing lines, a player is ruled offside by the thickness of his socks. Now, thats irritating! MST - I shall be sending you a red MFGA cap for Christmas. Whats your size?
posted by peterjeremy - Wednesday 20th August 2025, 6:16 AM With the exception of offside ( and that’s not 100 % var is still a matter of someone’s opinion some agree and some don’t and corner situations they have that right although we had a dodgy one which luckily never got checked ( well it is ffc !!)let the ref decide I’ve been watching football for 70 years and the refs been right in virtually every situation !!!!

Silva involved in who we sign, the club just don’t seem to to get things over the line, a proper director of football may help, but loads of mid table clubs have struggled this season it’s not easy when trying to upgrade same clubs after same players. Agents and players trying to get the most they can, . I feel even lo we have done our business later than I would have liked the last few seasons, we’ve got a good squad which our results mostly back. But yes Muniz should already be on a better deal

Are you seriously comparing former English and European champions with little local competition for fans to Fulham? As for the Khans they’re like every American owner, they only see the bottom line and potential income.,They have no interest whatsoever in Fulham’s history or the fans, unless it’s to milk a few quid. If and when it becomes too expensive Fulham Park Rangers will raise its ugly head and the easily converted new stand and ground will be redeveloped.

So to make things simple - if Fulham are relegated the impressive new stand will be half full ( at best ) of regular Fulham fans willing to pay around £75 a game , not corporate hosting at around £270 . Marco is sending out the need to improve the squad messages and has been for several months - totally ignored . So maybe the bottom line reality will sink in . And before anymore says we are too good for relegation , reality for us is survival and building for there . But each season the squad needs refreshing .
posted by davidk (Guest) - Monday 18th August 2025, 4:54 PM They bought the club as a going concern and my personal opinion is that they have improved it and will likely sell it on to recoup there money, a lot better situation to most buyers.As for all these rules from the premier league why is it palace get demoted to a European competition for 1 break of league rules yet Man City break 115 rules and have zero points deduction and are free to play in all competitions freely and spend endless amounts on new players?

What about no transfer window? It’s become a feeding frenzy for agents. I think it was introduced to stop clubs buying their way out of trouble. It’s plain they do anyway regardless so seems pointless. Might stop this indecent rush to buy players every few months when smaller clubs end up with the dregs.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Sunday 17th August 2025, 11:03 PM We are all pleased that we got that last kick of the game equaliser at Brighton, but is it just papering over the cracks? By every account Brighton were the better side, and perhaps this might kickstart our window and get some players in. That was a weekend when clubs like Spurs, Forest, Liverpool and Manchester City had ‘statement’ wins, setting up nicely for them what will be a long season. Even Man U made a good account of themselves after a torrid last few months. Fulham should be hearing a few alarm bells.
posted by peterjeremy - Monday 18th August 2025, 6:02 AM Brighton were not a better side we had as much of the ball as they did and the chances created were very similar. We dominated the game for the first 20 minutes and the last twenty minutes. A few extra signing might be useful but the player we have paid the most money for is hopeless so signings are not always the answer.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 18th August 2025, 6:17 AM You must have a transfer window, everyone should know their squad before the competition starts. Btw if you have no window, there will be constant unfairness, one week play a team and the next week they have three new players.

After the match, and then watching his interview later on the Fulham website, he seemed very enthusiastic towards Fulham, saying how happy he is. Yes it was possibly part of the euphoria after scoring a late equaliser, but somehow it seemed genuine to me. He is certainly hot the greatest CF, that we had, but I have a feeling that if we stick together as a player and club, he could become as big a legend as Mitro was.

I don’t think we can expect to see Raul Jiménez and Muniz together in the same team. Marco feels he has to start one or the other. Who to chose? Jiménez seems to gave more in his game to justify a start, and Muniz is an impact sub.
posted by peterjeremy - Sunday 17th August 2025, 7:02 AM Do we think he’ll even be in a Fulham shirt? The continued noise seems to point to an early departure.

posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Sunday 17th August 2025, 7:28 AM It’s a long season and we need them both.

We are not a million miles from them. Brighton played only slightly better and in my opinion, we can play a lot better than the ramshackle display today. Where was Sessegnon, was he on the bench? We didn't do enough to make breakthroughs, and it was a game for Sessegnon who can make things happen. Josh King played better than i first thought but there is nothing better than experience and Sess was needed today. We have got to stop treating Smith Rowe like a sub, he is our record money player for Pete's sake, like him or lump him he should play from the get-go. Not overjoyed with Marco's first eleven today but thanks to his better judgement second half we got a result from his subs. We didn't play well enough or deserve the win against an average Brighton...

He normally score a few goals but not enough. Do not tell any team who want to buy him that.

Wouldn’t argue with you but in the past when Muniz has started a game, rarely of course, hasn’t he looked a bit off the pace, however when he comes on as a sub seems to have the edge on defenders? I guess if we are to keep him he’ll want to start games. Decisions decisions.

Muniz will know that he is hot topic and we can't ignore him now, we should play him from the get-go now and i should say pay him a lot more to keep up with inflation. I should say footballers rates...

posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 16th August 2025, 4:44 PM Owen - you live I understand in the Derby area, but you obviously see every game. Have you a way of accessing this via the net, and if so can you let me know how I can do the same? Thanks

I’ve said all along to anyone who listens I think muniz is a bit special and if we let him go got to be at least 70 million has time will tell
posted by Ipotombi (Guest) - Saturday 16th August 2025, 7:10 PM No fan thinks he is special in most of the games he has played.
