This is precisely why Khan may be loathe to admit his mistake and keep hoping for a turnaround, until it’s too late
posted by Rm (Guest) - Thursday 10th September 2026, 12:20 PM Hopefully our new signings will strengthen our defence and provide the confidence needed for AAs attacking intentions. Give the bloke a chance this could come good within a few games. Much the stronger side v Palace and Sunderland and not too shabby against the scum. Would like to see Kenny back in the team and Andersen sidelined. He’s been our weakest link this season and cost us a place in Europe last.
posted by Dellers (Guest) - Thursday 10th September 2026, 1:01 PM Other than the Spaniards he brought along, it appears he’s lost the dressing room. Starting his inexperienced kids over established Premier League players would tend to do that. AA just can’t read a room. Not at RM, not here either.

the few games i have seen lacomte he seemed confortable specially catching the ball instead of punching away.
posted by t.no (Guest) - Sunday 06th September 2026, 2:23 PM I didn't see any reports or analysis on the game, is it Leno more at fault for our loss? Saw a great save from Leno i think two at the left post, which he coped with okay. I just don't think it is a goalkeeping problem over a defence that is seeing us lose games. Leno isn't a Ray Clemence but he is in this position of playing the most games for one reason only and that is Leno is our best keeper for a long time now. What is it 150 odd games in a Fulham shirt? We have and always have had a defensive problem made worse this season from a flawed plan of a high pressing game that isn't working for us. It wouldn't take a genius of a pundit to work out that we are in trouble with our flaky defence. The truth is, the recruitment of Berg or even Lukic isn't a patch on João Palhinha remember him? Palhinha is missed more than we thought and we are in denial of that fact or detail, there i have said it.
posted by OWEN - Sunday 06th September 2026, 3:18 PM João Palhinha i think scored 7 goals for Fulham, i thought more? He was at Fulham 2 years so it will be a split of 7 or more goals in two years. Still not bad for a defensive mid who 'more than helped' out defence and goalkeeper.
posted by OWEN - Sunday 06th September 2026, 3:26 PM Never came anywhere close to replacing Palhinha and Mitrovic. Or even Pereira for that matter. We have a lesser squad third year running, but more importantly, a lesser manager. That formula adds up to trouble. But I guess we can enjoy a season of end to end action right? Playing the kids right?
posted by Californian - Sunday 06th September 2026, 4:21 PM What a difference a top keeper makes to a winning side. Arsenal are going to win so many matches, not that they score so many goals, but they don't let many in, and Raya, since he left Brentford, is a master of his craft in goal. He is probably the best in the world at present. To think that we scored 2 against him at Wembley, in the playoffs final.

posted by COCO THE CLOWN (Guest) - Sunday 06th September 2026, 4:39 PM We used to play with two defensive midfielders who fell back as pure defenders when we lost the ball. Our new manager who does believes that is necessary as he wants everyone to attack. If you do not have defensive midfielders the midfield group must be closer to the defence, but our manager does not support that theory either. His tactics seem to be everyone attacks and those that get back in defence do. It is does not work in any way. All the goals scored against are down to defending failure caused by theses stupid tactics.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 06th September 2026, 4:50 PM

Wonderfully written piece
posted by Brain Doctor (Guest) - Sunday 06th September 2026, 12:15 PM Last season we always played with two defensive midfielders who if we lost the ball quickly move back into the defence, which means we rarely conceded the sort of goals we keep conceding this season. All out attack means all players must be fast to get back into all our defence. That is not happening as for each goal our defence is spread far and wide with plenty or room for attackers. More and more teams will understand how we play and take advantage of it. The manager is using badly flawed tactics without seemingly being aware of it.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 06th September 2026, 12:26 PM TTIN' it's well and okay to want defenders to push upfield and high press which can be a good tactic and reap rewards but we don't have the quality of players like Trent Arnold who has left Liverpool. It's okay to get caught out on the counter every now and again, it happens to the best. You have to have more in your locker and Trent Arnold had a mean free kick which got goals, Castagne doesn't have goals in him from any angle. Maybe the one i can recall but not much more. Yes' we want the manager to come with new ideas but we also don't want us Fulham to be known as soft touches and predictable and prone to errors every time we step out from now on. I hate the lable rookie and there are reasons we should wait a little longer than three games to judge Arbeola. The big worry is how we lost to two teams around our standards, which are average and looking forward to harder games doesn't instil confidence in me personally, everyone can speak for themselves. I can and will do the only thing left to do on here and that is to say, COME ON FULHAM!!! Lets hope that our new centre-back can play and help calm the situation.
posted by OWEN - Sunday 06th September 2026, 12:50 PM Well written post, We need to shore up the back to stop the silly goals, play a central back 3 of, Tete, the new CH and bassey, have 5 across the middle with full backs bombing on, have Garcia and / Muniz/ Kevin or Bobb.

i understand the frustration but i don't quite understand the over-reaction of relegation and sacking of the manager already. I don't think anything said here would bother the players or the manager. there are a lot more toxic stuff out there. We have to be patient and given the club already put a bet on Arbeola, we have to be patient and let him work things out. Our performances haven't been too bad. we haven't been out-played. The manager just needs to find a way to play the way he wants but tighten our defence. I remember Marco had the same issue with our defence but he eventually worked things out. The question in Arbeloa's mind maybe continue to give Castangne the license to roam what Arnold was doing at LIverpool, or hold him back or get a more agile and quicker right centre back. He also have to think about Bobb and how he should play. He's lacking end product but also playing very high up without helping the left back. I'd like to see him playing Berg and Charles in the short term to stablise the middle. But sorting out the right side will be more difficult! but let's be patient for at least until November/December,
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Sunday 06th September 2026, 11:36 AM The manager is very slow to recognise his tactics do not work. He is very inexperienced in fact I would say his thinking is badly flawed. In our next two PL games we are playing top teams which means we can potentially have played 5 league game and lost them all. This would take a lot of coming back from and probably best under a new manager with more defensive tactics.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 06th September 2026, 12:35 PM

I was surprised by a couple of things yesterday, one being that we were on first on MOTD, and secondly how Danny Murphy tore us apart, well at least our defence. Of course they only show the highlights, but to me, it looked like that we played some very nice football, and my goodness didn't Palace have all the luck in the world to win that game, and how did Muniz miss those two opportunities to score. Hopefully the last members of the squad who we signed, and have yet to play, will stiffen our defence. Thinking back to last season, it was 9 games before Villa won a match, but they didn't panic and sack their manager, and they haven't even scored a goal yet, but I'm sure Emery won't be given the boot any time soon. I feel that we have to give AA until at least the International break, even if we are still in the bottom 3, as seems likely at the moment.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Sunday 06th September 2026, 8:02 AM If there is any truth in the postings that have been made on our sister site, it appears that our squad, have already lost faith in AA, with Iwobi of all people, dropping any connection with Fulham on line, and Kevin as well. If true, and it's only what I have read, then we are in bigger problems than we thought. I hate to say this really, as it is a panic remark, but Eddie Howe, must be connected ASAP, and make him a good offer, or failing that McKenna, as he does get his clubs to be promoted, if we do fall through the trap door. It's not that bad at present, as no clubs get relegated in September, but leave it too long, and we just might be in May.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 06th September 2026, 11:14 AM You will not win if you defence keeping getting periods when it is missing or undermanned. Teams that get relegated usually attack well nut keep conceding though poor defending.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 06th September 2026, 12:43 PM LTS, i would rather we had Muniz for 90 minutes against Palace and for sure Muniz would have had more than two chances. I am just not convinced about our new target man Gonzalo who is too lightweight for my liking. Gonzalo will get all the time he needs to settle in score or no score goals. Muniz is more solid and built for the prem. I wonder how many goals Muniz might score if given time and space? Muniz not brilliant but he is what we have and Marco liked him and we didn't question Marco. Slavisa; i didn't understand a word he said but i loved the guy. Memories we will never forget...

Over the past years that abuse has shown a marked increase with posters using stupid monikers in order to shield their true titles. Please try to be respectful or you lose posters who make the effort whilst many others post critical and abusive comments.

posted by Barrie (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 5:14 PM We were either going to be heroes or villains with a new manager and the loss of experienced players. Sadly it's all gone wrong though. AA now needs to leave the 2 Spaniards on the bench and play Muniz and co first up, effectively reverting to the Marco format as best we can. Iyobi needs to be instructed come forward more. Anderson needs to be dropped and our faithful Leno as well. Both have lost their edge. The two Spaniards can be brought when and if appropriate. I haven't loss faith yet...but getting close!!

Too many lightweight signings! Be interesting too see how long the manager is given.
posted by Krebs. (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:44 PM Bobby, you are 100 percent correct, and our only hope, is that he goes immediately, and we go on bended knees to Ernie Howe. We have some talented players, and a decent manager could possibly blend them into a decent enough squad to save us from relegation, but AA definitely won't, and that stands out a mile. If we can all see it TK, must be able to see it.

posted by peter g (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:56 PM Give him a chance! Wrong for any team to sack a manager after 3 games! Not exactly we got battered in the 3 games. With a bit of luck in all 3 games, it could be very different. Anyway, I hope the board have a little bit more patience than you!
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:56 PM We’ll said John C I’m as disappointed as anyone but 3 games give the guy a chance,tough next 2 games but being Fulham you never know bit of patience please.
posted by Chief (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 5:02 PM Of course we will win games, but it won't matter, as we will be too far behind everyone else when we do, to make any difference. I admire the faith that some of you have in AA, turning it around, but I'm sorry I don't have any faith in AA at all. I hope that you are all right, and I am wrong. It will be a good test of how good, or bad we are, when we play Championship side West Ham.
posted by George H (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 5:11 PM I already wrote Arbeloa off when he publicly criticised our players after the Sunderland game. Meanwhile, his two golden boys from Madrid were poor in both games and still got to start again today.
posted by Bobby Z (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 6:27 PM We've already played two of the worst teams in this league and they are Sunderland and Palace. Hull are decent, i can't see us beating them when it comes around. When you are down, the nerves creep in every game. Arbeola thinks we were unlucky and that's the sign of a deluded and naive manager. Arbeola will play exactly the same eleven against Liverpool and his two Spanish boys will play 90 minutes. He likes Josh King which is the only positive tactics you will see from Arbeola.

The poor goals we are conceding, leaving the centre backs wide open, individuals looking like they dont know what they are doing. We need to wake up before ifs too late
posted by Bob (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:31 PM

Dread to think what Liverpool and manure are going to do to this shambles of a defence, think there is only one way we are going and that is to the championship, while this manager is in charge
posted by Bob (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:10 PM I’ll happily take “fighting” relegation. Will there be fight? Signs are not positive.

posted by OWEN - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:06 PM We will unfortunately be in the bottom 3, at the International break, and I have a horrible feeling that we will stay there until May, then we will do a West Ham, and return to the Championship.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:09 PM Extremely naive tactically for this league. Just too much inexperience from manager to squad. Squad has no balance. No teeth. Shades of the Anguissa/ Seri 100m spend season. Just a hopeless feeling.
posted by Californian - Saturday 05th September 2026, 4:14 PM

Depends which manager has best tactics,this will be a game of whose subs fit in best ,seems pretty even so lets get lucky, or just muller them, draw seems the safe way, how ever we aint got time to play safe stagnation set in very fast when you are in bottom three. coyw

No,' WE' are not poor at all. And the great news is that each time we attend our beloved Craven Cottage we are getting richer by 100 quid on average each of us. I don't know what i am gonna do with all my cash, maybe fly out to Jacksonville and watch some footsoccer.

I now agree with your previous posts, Owen. We are useless.
posted by Tibor (Guest) - Friday 04th September 2026, 9:56 PM He’s probably only said that because he was roasted by press and fans (and probably Khan) for throwing the payers under the bus after the game. Might be how they do it in Spain (who knows) so let’s hope he has learned quickly.

posted by d bent (Guest) - Friday 04th September 2026, 4:47 PM MST, as far as I am concerned, it's simply no good, giving us, or me in particular, an email address, as I haven't a clue, what you are on about, although I'm sure that you mean well, to those, who are digital intelligent. In plain English, where could I find AA's pre-match interview ?
