should Clarke have shot, we really should have got it to the corner and kept it there |  |

He got back fine though. Credit to him for that. What he did once he got there was the issue. |
Having just covered about 80 yards to get back, you can understand why he might not make the best decision but there you go
It's a good point, just disappointing not to see it out against a Fulham team who really struggled to unlock us | |

Unbelievable!! |  | | |

Unbelievable. I assume this is a joke, 3-1 puts the game to bed. It’s easy to judge in hindsight. |
was it a risk we needed to take, that's all I am asking | |

Leif is at fault. |
For a lot, crosses a plus, wasteful decisions all day,
Shot high and wide if he let Clarke take it he'd been in the box I'd put more money on him making the keeper work than Leif,
He has a lot to learn what he gives in one hand he takes away in the other,
Seriously leaving a foot out in the box against seasoned professionals are they going to say no thanks, |  | | |

So you would blame him for shooting rather than Morsy for a stupid 'tackle'?
I use the word tackle loosely as it was a reckless kick inside the area with multiple cameras and VAR. Brainless decision. |  | | |

Has that in his locker did it a lot last two years when there's no need,
Not talking so much about the penalty but bringing players down when there's cover, then a needless booking | | | |

Er no. Show a bit of bravery and if you can, kill the game. Clarke nearly did just that.
I refuse to be negative about it. A point well earned by a team that left it all out there. |  | | |

Of course he should have shot. We can't be going into the corner with 9 minutes still left to play ffs. |  |

That's not all you're asking though is it? You're suggesting Clarke could've kept it in the corner for 10 minutes! |  |

I'm not sure what the evidence is for this, but we seem to be one of the worst teams at keeping the ball in the corner. It feels like we lose it quite quickly.
Add to that, Clarke isn't the strongest. He did exactly the right thing and was very unlucky. | |

I feel like we've been rubbish at keeping it in the corner for decades! I'd rather we just had a shot (especially with 10 minutes left!) | |

Clearly remember that moment. Was screaming for him to give it to Clarke ... | | | |

Strange challenge, particularly when there were a lot of bodies ahead of him |
Almost ingrained in him to have a nibble isn’t it? |  | | |

Agreed - so many memories over the years of us being terrible at that leading to goals! |  |

Watching it live i was disappointed Clarke did not track back following the turnover. He could have either covered for Leif or supported him. Perhaps Leif would not have committed to a challenge... |  | | |

He did the right thing in shooting. Anything other than hitting the post - goal, save, out for a goal kick and we'd have won that game. Just bad luck that it resulted in a defensive situation that panned out as it did. |  | | |

I think Clarke is the last person to blame for throwing away our lead. How about the two players who gave away penalties? I'd start with them if you're looking for someone to blame. |  |

An ex-player said not dissimilar, that we shouldn't have been pressing for a third in that manner, getting Leif so far up the field at that point and that contributed to his lazy/tired challenge. |  | | |

Yeah, I'm with you on this. No issues with the shot at all. However, does Leif need to run the length of the pitch at 2-1 up when defending a lead? I've used the word 'naivety' about us this season for decisions which you don't get away with in the Prem and game management is something we need to learn on the job and quickly.
If Leif isn't trying to recover from the run, perhaps he doesn't stick the lazy leg out.
Once again though, we could just as easily blame not taking good chances as opposed to the penalties! Szmodics misses a good one, Leif blazed over and Broadhead as well (Albeit that was a good save)
No such thing as a bad away point but I felt gutted for Walton, Wolfie, Greaves and O'shea yesterday who put in a masterclass of a defensive performance. Johnson was also excellent. |  | | |

I make it 5 penalties he has given away since he joined. Definitely something for him to work on! |  | | |
