He’s struggled so much for us at times, but getting clear and hitting the post like that was so unlucky. For it to trigger the move for the penalty too is salt in the wound. |  |

I agree, felt sorry for him. He would have needed that goal. BUT what I dont understand is why we were attacking with 5 players in that move. Why did Leif come on an overlap, when we just needed to defend our lead for the 5 minutes left. Bad judgement. |  |

This is what's really boiling my pss.
1-2, away. 10 to go and our fullback goes on the overlap leaving no one back. Just stupid. |  |

If Leif doesn't overlap, then Clarke doesn't get the clean shot. He needs Leif to pull the right back away from the centre. |  | | |

Agree. We had 4/5 forward in the 90 minute.
We were over committed and paid the price for it. |  |

I understand why he did it, but it is still bad judgement in that situation. Defend the lead when it it a few minutes left. OK to attack with 2 players, maybe 3. Not 5 | |

Exactly this. If the ball goes an inch to the right no one would be complaining about it. |  | | |

I don't feel for him because you can see he is a completely different player from 4 months ago. He is putting in the hard yards and a post width away from getting a goal that would be talked about for a very long time.
Limited game time but the last few appearances he still is taking opponents on despite his rocky start. I admire him and his hard work he has put in and hope he gets a good run out soon.
Since his haircut, I've completely done a 180. Once one goes in, it's lift off. |  | | |

Agree.... and even when he gets back in to position it's such a poor tackle.... that being said, if Clarke gives him the ball back, he would be running it in to the corner. We cause so many of our own problems it's so frustrating!! [Post edited 5 Jan 19:18]

I disagree. It's a good move and yields a high value chance which is whiskers away.
The fact that he manages to cover the full length of the pitch and in that time no-one has stepped wide to protect his vacated position is the problem.
I'm sure McKenna will talk about his technical decision making for the tackle, but I think he's gonna be pulling up the video in front of the team and asking whether we should have done better up to the point where Leif gets back. | | | |

I don't blame Davis, he won the ball and drove forward, and it was his run that created the space for the shot, it was the other side that makes less sense, I think we had 4 or 5 players out of position ahead of the ball when they countered, I didn't see who it was and haven't seen it back, but whoever it was I think they should have realised with Davis that far up at least one to two of them needed to hold back in case we turned it over. | | | |

Yeah, easy to blame Davis but it's clear why he's up there - his error was lacking a bit of composure in the rush to poke the ball away from Jimenez. |  |

Said much the same at the time. It was a great shot. That goes in and he becomes an instant hero. Such tiny margins. | | | |

We didn't concede because Davis went forward. He got back. The trouble is he then idiotically dangled a leg.
He should have gone off for Townsend when Traore came on, with Delap staying up front for the 90. | |

I've got no problem Leif overlapping, but if he does, he has to bust a gut to get back into position. Which i'm afraid he didn't. |  | | |

We've been playing this way for years now unde McKenna. We are more defensive this season but generally we always try and carry a threat through the full game. It's very hard to switch on and off again so we are consistent with it. It's done us very well over the course of the last few years. We've got more points wo because of it then lost. We very nearly made the points done.
Really cruel in the end. | |

He got back into position. His mistake was fouling the forward, as others have said. | | | |

The ball was played to their right winger because Leif was out of position. | |

When Davis shoots, he would have been better leaving it for Clark wand of a right foot and would have been in the area |  | | |

It is OK to have different opinions about this one. I understand the move, and what he creates with it. It is the timing of it that annoys me, because he leaves the space behind him wide open, when we just have to stay behind the ball, make it tight and hard for Fulham to create anything. If we get a break fine, but do not engage half the team in the attack. To me that is understanding the game. But I am Ok with people having different views. | |

Just needs a central defender to shift over to cover. Not rocket science. |  |

It was cruel at the end but I’m happy with the way we went about it today. I like the idea of carrying that threat even if it blows up sometimes. Good side Fulham. We showed commitment and courage in abundance.
Disappointed not to seal the win but would have bitten an arm off for a point before the game. Four points from Arsenal, Flum away and Chelsea at home, four goals for three against? Better than I expected. |  | | |

I agree Davis leaves space, but that's where the shape of the team in responding to his bombs forward is important. Let's face it, Davis overlapping and bombing forward is nothing new and I'm sure the players know their responsibilities to support when he does. Felt like that didn't happen today.
I think I'm a bit frustrated at people blaming Davis for the overlap when I'm 100% confident that's exactly what McKenna wants him to do. It's not naive, it's planned. Of course he could do better with the actual tackle, and I think the team could have done better overall. However it feels like we're telling Davis to jump and then blaming him for not staying still. | | | |

Well, that is part of the problem, if someone else have to leave their position to cover up for someone else. I dont think we should be playing 1 vs 1 in defence in the dying seconds unless it is for covering up for someones misstake | |
