They're attacking , the position of their defence is still pretty deep when I've seen it. Been impressed with them, regardless of our mistakes - their manager is underrated....

Silva is probably a better manager than Frank, but not by much and certainly not without his own flaws.
 
17 crosses into Fulhams box and not one met by a Spurs head. What a pile of sh*t. I don`t want to slag any players off but this lot must be the most average bunch we have had for years. Our recruitment policy has been abysmal. Out of all the players we signed this summer the only one who looks slightly better than average is Muani. The rest have been so average its untrue. Hope they all make me eat my words in the second half but I`m not holding my breath

Not be honest, if we’re gonna play this way, I think Bentancur and Palinha in midfield is fine. Because we have absolutely no intention of playing any football offensively other than crossing.

It’s to the point where Gray will make a run into the half space and Porro finds him, and I’m wondering whether that was against the tactical plan. It’s just dreadful.

Post may have come across wrong, I don’t mind Bentancur. This wasn’t me saying “oh no, he’s going to bring Bentancur on for Bergvall” that’s just genuinely what I think Frank may do.

I’ve never seen such poor effort, you said it yourself, Muani was putting the most effort in out there. Two stupid goals confer and we’ve panicked ever since, awful passing, poor control and just headless chickens everywhere. As much as tactics are questionable (and they are) we also really need someone out there who can sort this team out on field.

We seem to panic and immediately forget any sort of cohesion, it’s just lots of ‘let’s run and sort of hope it falls for us’. We need someone one who can get their foot on the ball, calm it down and actually try and play us into a bit of form. As is, we just look like we could lose this by 4 or 5.
 
So i went out before the game to pick up a chinese and ended up in a pub while waiting for my chinese to be ready so i missed the first half. I get home and see the highlights for the first half, we are lucky not to be 4-0 down.

That screams Moyes at ManU.

I was thinking this exactly. It’s reducing a team that we know is capable of playing football into one that only attacks with crosses. I remember when United lost a home game, ironically I think to Fulham, and they put the most crosses in ever for a PL game at the time.

I think it’s all well and good to be better at set pieces. But to strip away so much of what these players know they can do is just not going to inspire their confidence.

I fully believe that a reactive, pragmatic manager can succeed at a top club. Enough Italian coaches have made it work. Jose made it work. But I think a pure ‘we only score from crosses’ won’t work at a top club. The players won’t stand for it.
