@AledSCFC Mate you just got dicked 5-0 at QPR.

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@LoftusIQ Big fan of Kone. Has he been injured/carrying a niggle?

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

Just one thing to keep in mind,

Fulham’s wage budget is 125% higher than ours. (That’s double + a bit)

As disappointing as it way yesterday, the financial rules in the PL cause this.

Even more difficult than outperforming parachute clubs in the Championship

#PUSB

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@ClaireEBarker As a wing-back then possibly. MVE was one of the better ones yesterday

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

This is what I’d do next week.

Option 1 if Bobby is fit. 2 if he’s not.

And we close down like fuck from minute one

Rudi nowhere near set-pieces unless it suits a left-footer

@olliejustmoans I got slaughtered for this take before the season

I get it for the younger fans who want to see us play the big clubs.

But for everyone else it’s a miserable existence

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@RobinGooch3 Combination of:

Shit ticket exchange system

Premier League overly corporate / commercial and a poor watch

Sitting deep with 35% possession because there’s such a quality gap with the financial rules

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

Sitting off with 35% possession at home to Fulham is one way to disenfranchise a whole fan base.

At least get relegated having a go.

#PUSB

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

We’ve got to change this 4-4-2 oop shape too if we’re going to sit deep.

Rudi and Cherif half push on to the cb’s. Ball to fb’s, our wingers too deep, ball into cm where they have an overload. Repeat

#PUSB

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@ccfcsince97 Don’t agree.

It’s not working for us, because of the style of play.

Stick grimes in Fulham’s team today and he’d have looked every inch a Premier League player

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

I love Matt Grimes.

He was everything I’d always wanted last season. But it’s not working this.

If you’re going to sit back and have 35%, and then play direct, his role is redundant.

Today
0 tackles (attempted or work)
0 ground duels won
0 aerial duels won
0 Fouls

@bartlejo @ThatCovPod Great question.

Rushworth

Pinnock

Thomas

Rudoni

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

And I understand the logic. Make it small margins, stay in the game.

Football is about emotion and atmosphere, the CBS can be raucous. We have to use that.

Front foot, press, chase, aggressive. Can still be direct when we get it

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@ricardo_chambo Fulham are mobile and physical in midfield, but not particularly creative or threatening.

Probably end up with a game that bypasses both midfields, unless Grimes can get a foothold. Probably suits us

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@ricardo_chambo Depends on the mentality.

I don’t think we can sit off at home against Fulham. They’re better than the table suggests, but we have to back ourselves and get the crowd up

I always fancy us more in evening kick-offs.

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

Oh and the home team/big team bias in the officiating in the Premier League is absolutely outrageous

And Maddison kissing the badge when scoring against his home town club is pretty poor too

#PUSB

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

Takeaways:

Rudi, Cherif & BTA continue to impress

Grimes hasn’t got the legs.

PL football as dull as dishwater

Atmosphere at Spurs stadium is dreadful

Outside the box shooting variance killing us, they can’t keep going in

#PUSB

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@Chris_Tombs Nothing wrong with the tactic. Just a bit of variance.

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

That’s now 7 in 7 for goals conceded from shots taken outside the box by Rushworth this season. 6 in 46 last #PUSB

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

Carl Rushworth has conceded as many goals from outside the box this season (four) in 6 games, as he did in 46 games last season

#PUSB

[CCFCAnalysis @CCFCAnalysis]

@SimonLSport Honking? They’ve scored three from outside the box. xG conceded 0.87

Played ok. Fine margins
