HT Reaction:

Even half. Fulham had a dominant spell, where really, #FFC should have scored.

Shea Charles and Josh King the best players on the pitch. Not Garcia’s greatest half though, I’d prepare Muniz for 60’.

#FulhamFC’s struggles from crosses have to be addressed.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

Very happy with that Fulham lineup. Affengruber and the Charles/Berge combo were must starts.

Mbeumo and Rashford in behind Castagne and Robinson will be the game-plan. That worries me.

Muniz and Palaicos unlucky to miss out. Should see them come on for #FFC.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

After Coventry beat Forest, is Manchester United a must win for #FFC?

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

Fulham have an opportunity to completely change the outlook of their season against Man Utd.

It’s almost a must win. Fulham play a rudderless #MUFC at the perfect time.

With a win at home, the outlook of #FFC’s season completely changes with five winnable games coming up.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

@SWallis23827 Maybe must not lose is a better phrase.

The Liverpool draw has a completely different spin if we back it up with a statement win or fall to a loss, that’s for sure.

You take that.

At home with a chance of a cup run, Fulham must beat Palace at home.

Palace have European football and will likely play a weakened team.

#FFC were good enough to beat Palace weeks ago and with more time to gel and a cup run at stake, we need to do so in R4.

It's a Cottage clash against Crystal Palace in the Fourth Round of the #CarabaoCup. 🏟️

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

@junglejimk Good point, mate.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

Completely understand the Iwobi starting argument and dropping him is harsh after a good Liverpool display.

I feel Palacios warrants a start and having a player earn a start in the league via a cup competition sends a good message.

More of a nod to Cesar than a knock on AI.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

Cesar Palacios did more than enough to earn a starting spot against Manchester United last night.

Elite movement, energy, one touch passing, quick feet, and final ball quality characterised a MOTM display.

The lifeblood of every #FFC first half attack, he must start on Sunday.

@mattwall88 @WhiteNoise1879 Iwobi played well at Anfield and I’d understand his inclusion on Sunday, but what message does it send if a player gets a goal and assist and does not start days later?

Cup competitions are about players earning a start and Palacios did that.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

There is a real competition for Fulham’s No. 9 spot. Rodrigo Muniz was electric yesterday.

Excellent link up play, movement, and in front of goal. Muniz was unlucky not to get another goal and assist last night.

Two goals, two starts — an inform Muniz is a big plus for #FFC.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

The difference between ESR and Josh King was the starkest it’s ever been tonight.

Emile was a passenger throughout, yet King came on and won Fulham the game.

An absolute gulf in class. I really don’t know where ESR goes from here in his #FFC career.

Immediate Reaction: West Ham 2-3 Fulham

#FFC | #FulhamFC

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

Conceding two goals in one half vs a Championship B-team is a joke.

The story of Fulham’s season, #FFC should have scored three or four but instead every time West Ham attack #FulhamFC look all at sea.

Muniz and Palacios have been fantastic, though.

If Bowen comes on, I worry.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

Both teams have rested players. Bowen, Taty, Piroe, and Solomon rested for #WHUFC.

I would have liked to have seen Affengruber gain more minutes in a #FFC shirt, Andersen starting worries me.

Big games for Kevin and ESR.

The League Cup should not be taken lightly, big game.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

The League Cup is the best chance #FFC have at winning a first major trophy and that should be any manager’s primary ambition.

Any worries about a relegation battle should be completely sidelined tonight.

Prioritise ambition over mediocrity. No B-team at West Ham, Alvaro.

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

David Affengruber completely changed Fulham’s defence.

A superb reader of the game, Affengruber’s interceptions, passing range and sweeping up of play made him look like the athletic CB Fulham need.

With Affengruber, #FFC’s high-line system worked.

Absolute Rolls Royce 🇦🇹

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

@S__G__25 Here you go, mate!

#FFC | #FulhamFC

[CJ (Charlie Shaw) - London’s Original @BlancosAway]

An Affengruber/Bassey partnership gives Fulham a chance of seeing if #FFC’s high line really can work.

Berge and Charles is the midfield partnership #FulhamFC have been crying out for.

In his rightful position, it’s a massive game for Alex Iwobi to silence his critics.
