We don't lose this because of one player. Stop being ridiculous

Fulham totally deserve this win.
We have continually given the ball away cheaply, under no pressure and in dangerous positions. I’ve been saying all season that this means a lot of teams don’t actually have to create chances against us: we will present chances to them.
Genuinely good sides do NOT give the ball so easily.
We have looked toothless up front.
It’s bizarre.
In an unrelated note, how come Liverpool gets Carragher, United gets Neville. We get Smith who sounds gleeful every time we lose?
Today has been an embarrassment and to me indicates why we are ill equipped for fourth.

I don’t think that was the point being made.

Great ball followed a powder-puff shot from Richarlison

That is not his point... The high line works because of VDVs pace to recover, The Dragon does not have it. Its suicide playing a high line with him
Like AVB with Dawson and Terry!

Udogie seems to think that running back to help the defense is a punishment and he acts like frustrated 6yo.

We haven't struggled because of the high line. We've struggled because the press has been bad and we've lost pretty much every 50-50 duel.

Well, we all said we'd take a few tonkings this season and here's one. Can't complain much but hope Ange has the nous to adjust to the league. Managers are a stubborn bunch though and he has openly said we will play one way, no?

The problem like you say is that we don't cope with the high line due to systemic pressure or shape. We rely very much on a particular players unique attribute. Its concerning because you can't have a system that relies on a sole player, that's a system that will always have days like today.
I'm fully in on Ange sticking to his system at the same time he needs to coach the players better to cope with downsides to our shape especially while we don't have the quality of player to play the system properly.

They age by for behind our centre backs to hurt us
They have won it everywhere on the pitch

Also Porro is a lot more willing to run back and defend than Udogie is. Drăgușin might have a lot better time next to Porro than Udogie. This makes VDV highly valuable to us.

We are caught out most weeks, VDV saves our asses.
There is so much space, Fulhams CB or Full backs can just put it over the top.

Similar to Man U that our midfield gets stretched very quickly and then we get played through at will.
