Rotate, bollocks, or even rest, the players are supposed to be fit, they are not OAPs. Can't handle 2 games in a week?

I am disgusted, 3 points thrown away just like Newcastle and Hammers. What is Carlo playing at? Is he another one after a payday???
Lets be really clear we all knew that team he selected was not good enough and was destined to lose. Fulham wanted the points more than we did and played us of the park to get them. What does that say about the players?

Yes the midfield is the weakest link by far, but last there were weak links in all departments, starting with the man who picks the team, tactics and substitutions. And I do sympathise with the break in at his house, sincerely, but these type of performances have happened regularly under Carlo, mostly against the bottom clubs.

Was that Carlo's incompetence, the players' incompetence or a bit of both, or Scott Parker's genius? Everton were so bad we deserve a refund, but Oh we are getting a refund, so why gripe? Imagine if we went to the match and paid to watch that? The crowd reaction would have blown Carlo off his feet. As it is I operated the off switch on the TV after their first goal as it was blindingly obvious the manager and the team had lost the plot. When the crowds do come back, if this sort of Newcastle/Fulham home display becomes a regular occurrence, the manager's situation will become untenable. Mind you that Spurs cup tie was great wasn't it?

Disappointed rather than sad. Again.
It's the hope that is the killer.
We'll get over it. We always do

I am sorry for repeating myself almost every week but I am sick of this negative defensive football played by our so called experienced top manager, his team selection and his tactics are pathetic, he may have won all sorts of trophies in the past but playing this way he will never win anything for us, even after a fair length of time he still has not got a clue as to his best team and I make no apologies for my opinion.
Both mate, players were crap and Carlo got it wrong.
Come off it.
"Boring, negative football"? The three games prior yesterday we scored 10 goals.
He's a pragmatist - he's doing what he can with a lacking side.
We're 7th with 2 games in hand. Win one of them and there's only 4 teams above us in the league.
This side isn't a top 4 side - it's not even close.
Perspective.

Still absolutely perplexed at what went on last night. We bottled it/blew it, whatever you want to say. An absolute embarrassment.

Well lads after last night and before the next game, enjoy the pancakes tomorrow.
But Fulham did come at us, they were all over us.

As disappointing as the game was just think the fume is a bit much.
Its just a game and they are going to play like this every know and then
especially if you think of where they are and where they've come from.
there are still major weaknesses in the team and that was pretty clear last night.
I'd like to think Carlo's game management is based on longer term objectives.
And covering up weaknesses doesn't necessarily help them.
I think one of the reasons Carlo is so effective is he ultimately puts the responsibility on the players to stand up themselves
there isn't a need to put his arm around them and reassure them, he treats them like men.
Instead of hooking a player off he makes them face their weaknesses and sees if they'll get through it.
He's not just waiting for the next transfers to come in,
he's giving them the opportunity to see what they are really made - all in the knowledge that weaknesses exist in the team itself
he doesn't set them up to fail, he covers as best he can the team weaknesses and then puts it on the individuals
i get the feeling every now and then he exposes them to their weaknesses to see if progress has been made - this probably tells him more than anything else.
I think Fulham was one of those.
On the team weaknesses its clear the team needs at least one other player that can do what Lookman did last night.
With Richarlison out of form there's very little outs for the defence and centre midfield to go too;
and without those outs there is no chance of the team imposing their will.
This all changes if a top right winger comes in and richarlison refinds his ability to take on players
James can then go and sit wherever the space is and start to control tempo and movement.
And it'll be all the more better, if it happens, for the experience of matches like last night.
The players that come through this period will have grown, we've already seen it with Davies, DCL and Godfrey
all the while players like Digne and Keane continue leading the way.
Hopefully it all come together and the football played, and the will shown, will be worthy of the goodison pitch.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a more one sided game as I did last night. Was expecting a bit of tinkering, a sub or two or just a passionate second half response after being told a few home truths in the dressing room but it was just more of the same. It was nice to put a face to the name of the Fulham goalkeeper as a result of the little fracas at the end.

Maybe a blessing in disguise,CL then getting turned over in the preliminary round by the Danish League runners up would have been all that the future would hold.
But there'll be another season of no trophies or CL, because when the chips are down we fold.

You are obviously a Carlo fan but I am not, it does not matter who we play he always starts every game on the defensive, sideways, backward football, I have watched the blues for 70years and witnessed some poor teams in my time and I am not saying we are not having a reasonable season, but we are supposed to have better players now and I do not see any better football, in my humble opinion we are very boring to watch and I am entitled to my opinion but managers come and go and I will always be a blue.
