    A lot of salty tears here.
    Yes Bruno has not been good, but he still saves us regularly. That’s more than you can say of most of our other players. And he also at least cares.
    ETH needs to talk and talk and complain about referees and VAR NOW. It’s better to do this after a win than after a loss.

    What i mean is wasting so much money on a waste of space is sad. Gettng Pellistri for cheap is nice though.
    Oh, I see. Thing is, Pellistri may not be the answer in the long term, but for now, he's the better option and I'm hoping ten Hag will be able to see that.

    Jenas gave Bruno motm because of the goal but there's no way he was United's best player. Maguire was very good, type of game and opposition that suits him.

    Garnacho was very impressive on the left. A few brainfarts that you're going to get with a young winger, but he shows way more impetus and urgency than Rashford has been showing this season.

    I hope so too. If a choice is given to me, I'd try to give Pellistri enough playing time at RW to start building some kind of chemistry alongside Hojlund.

    Didn’t watch the game but saw the goal. Bruno will get the plaudits for the winning finishing touch but Pellistri - made that goal. Wasn’t for him, we would not be speaking about a massive much-needed 3 points we just got right now. His willingness to press hard for the ball & win it in their danger area which is what set Bruno up to score the winner. Well played son.

    If ETH can save his job whilst admitting mistakes ( humility is easy carried) he needs to release Antony is a dud in the premier league and move him on .

    He did not! Always look uninterested and have you ever seen him running at full speed?
    no idea how anyone can say martial did anything... look at him just before Bruno his the winner... looked like a drunken ice-skater

    feck off :lol:

    Plays a shit game and scores a goal in the 90th minute doesn't excuse the rest of his performance
    Ah, always in with the Bruno hate ain't ya!
    Match winner Bruno, the issue, the problem, the carrier of all our ills, yet again changing the game.

    Id imagine your seething right now, must be hard not enjoying your team winning.

    And he would've accepted.
    Days gone by...
    He still would, he would replace Eriksen in that deeper role and let’s be honest Scott is almost playing like a second striker, take out antony in the right and add a box to box there who can cross but honestly pellistri did a fine job!

    I thought AWB was our best player by far today. Garnacho got better in the last 20 when he started running his man, but Fulham got nothing out of AWB

    but they were very poor today
    Agreed - but that doesn't mean they are a pushover. And considering how poor we have been, this was perhaps our best win of the season in terms of opposition and away-ground

    AWB, Evans and Maguire were all very good....and as you said, Garnacho came to life in the second half. Pellistri really didn't so much with the ball - but it was his effort that won us the game....

    I saw an overpaid, lazy striker getting a few minutes. At least Hojlund tries!
    Tried and did nothing. Martial at least brought some cohesion to the attack. People won't see that because of agendas.

    In the 2nd half, Garnacho faded, became tired and stated making errors and being rash as a result, but he got the wind back in his sails again, in the last 10 minutes of normal time and played his part in putting the pressure on.

    Overall, he had a good game.
    Don’t lose sight of the fact he’s still just a kid.
    He will improve.

    Yeah AWB good too. That might be ETH's saving grace this season, if the first choice back 4 can come back and stay fit for the season. Although I don't know wtf is going on with Varane

    I'd prefer if he scored a goal AND played well! The two don't need to be mutually exclusive!

    Not at all, I'm happy with him scoring and securing the victory

    However, what you just said is laughable. You can be a problem and still score the winner, you know. This is Fulham, not Bayern München. He was awful and did nothing all game before the final minute.

    Tell me! What is there to like about Martial?
    His linkup play today helped us get better. We improved when the subs came on and ultimately got the winning goal.

    There should be a difference between not liking a player in general and acknowledging he did well in a specific game.

    The fact that you're so mad about it in the first place shows that you're not being objective about this. You had decided Martial's performance was bad before he stepped foot on the pitch.

    Evans and Maguire did an excellent job today, even if they weren’t up against any serious threat.
    That’s what needed in all departments, especially with players coming in to cover injuries, no matter who we’re playing.
    McTominay is another who’s come in and worked hard, even if he isn’t good enough for the ideal first selection. He put in a good shift And was unlucky to have his goal chalked off.

    Mediocre display against a mediocre team with a last gasp victory. The poor quality of the overall squad won't allow us to play much better for the rest of the season. Much of the same.

    The bigger question is whether ETH is the man to take us to the new season and more mportantly, guide us through two more transfer windows.
