Match Reaction v Fulham

[Kano]

Rosicky was drifting all over the field when he came on. I'm sure the right was supposed to be his main position but he was able to drift to the centre and left as well. With Theo, you know at least that he's going to hug the touchline and Riise can't go bombing forwards without consequences.

i really didn't agree with people saying subbing those two was the main reason for defeat, so i had to be a fussy sod and check for something a bit more tangible. from the guardian chalkboards he only made two passes on the left, so his appearances away from the right were fleeting. plain and simple he didn't cover dj enough and put the leg work in.

the two goals came from bennys/coqs side let's not forget and unsurprising given him being as weak an option as our other fb. when fulham get up a full head of steam at home, then it is a hard place to come away from with points and they had the players and directness to expose our problems at the back - losing verm was a big deal for this game.
