Some terrific performances today

I saw it the other way Yates ran his bollocks off. Im just being honest here perhaps im not paying enough attention but I just dont get John Jules.
I thought JJ played well and was his best game. I think it's possibly because Fulham are as close to Prem players and attitude in this division. Gave him a bit more space.

It will come for Yates and it was great to see him shoot from half way; his confidence is still high 👍

There wasn't a bad performance out there; I agree with @incredible_edibles pick of players who were on it. 7's and 8's across the team, (Maxwell with a 6 as he had very little to do tbf?)
 
TJJ's best game by a country mile
Excellent "debut" by Jordan Gabriel
Same with Wintle, i lost count of the number of times he broke up their attacks
Marv- just gets better and better. Some brilliant and essential blocks today and composed under pressure.
Bowler, apparently he's got no shot on him 😁
It will come for Jerry, he still played well and worked his nuts off
Keogh had a very good game, apart from being caught on the ball late on
Anderson, another very good game

To a man we were excellent today, apologies to the players not mentioned.
 
Thought TJJ had a really good game. Wintle was superb, especially considering it was his debut and against a top team.
Gabriel was very good.
Ekpiteta was the man for me though, he was incredible.
Shout out for Richard Keogh, ok he made a bad mistake that very nearly cost us but it was by far his best game in Tangerine, granted, his prior performances weren't difficult to top but I thought he did well today.

Have to say I was calling 1st sub to be lavery for JJ... but then again I was happy with team Selection whilst others were saying we would lose 0 4... funny old game.

Buzzing
 
Funny one for me - don't think either TTJ or Yates did anything wrong - but I couldn't see either of them winning the game for us.
 
Yates did a lot of work controlling the press on the Fulham Defenders and co-ordinating it with the other attackers John-Jules I thought had his best game by far but it was a terrific all round performance
Yes agree don’t want to be a miserable sod after a fantastic team performance
 
I thought Keshi was on fire today. Just over a year ago he was a division 2 player. He totally destroyed a premier league full back

Interesting isn’t it when you think how much money Fulham spent on players - by rights on paper it should be a total walkover for them
Football is not played on paper 😉

Ben Burgess said Yates worked his socks off. Perhaps Critch needs to instruct Jerry to do less chasing / harrying and punish the opposition down the centre (like Helen White changed her game for England).
 
Yates has worked hard, some touches not the best and caught offside too much today when he shouldn't be.

Shame he isn't getting much service, all he needed was a through ball of normal pace and he was in.

Can't judge until he gets some of them and some chances.
 
It's maybe not happening in front of goal for him, but today he was much livelier than Cardiff/Cov.

Interesting choice now for Critch. TJs best game so far, Jerry hassling everywhere, Shayne winning headers against someone a foot taller
 
Jerry was class, people really need to see beyond goals. Today should have been played in, but poor passing denied him the opportunity. He didn’t complain, just encouraged others around him. He works so hard and his touch and link play is exceptional. Take him out of our team and we struggle, because he focusses so much opposition attention.
 
TTJ was good today, covered a lot of ground and had some great touches and runs. Not quite working for Jerry yet, Bowler just over-hitting the ball through to him being a good example .... it will come.

This has always been the case, his mentality is superb! Goals will be harder to come by obviously a league higher but I still think he’ll get 10+.
 
Ekpiteta, Wintle, Anderson and Gabriel I thought were superb.
Yates and John-Jules struggled for me.
Special mention for Maxwell as well - I always feel confident when he's in goal.
agree on the superb but also thought TJJ was good his best yet for Blackpool, pity he didn’t take that first half chance as it would have done wonders for the lads confidence
 
Every player was 8 out of 10 or more today. John-Jules was excellent and looks like he is getting used to football outside of age restrictions. Looked really confident with some of drag backs and skills in the 2nd half which is great to see. Remember Ellis Simms took a few games to come to the boil last season.

You can already see the Critch effect on TJJ...if he stays injury free and we have him all season he will be awesome for us this year. Him and Yates link up well ....both need a goal but you can see it working already and will get better ad the season progresses

Yates worked his socks off and if Bowler's through ball hadn't been badly overhit would have been through on goal.
JJ improved as the game went on but still doesn't look a goal threat or real provider yet.

yes mate i agree 100%. Interesting selection decisions to come with Lavery on the bench and gary goals, if he ever makes a return.
 
Jerry epitomises what we’re about, never stops running, never stops battling and has genuine quality on the ball, it didn’t go his way today but I’d have him in the team every time.

All the lads were brilliant today, the best complete performance in a long time and against quality opposition
 
Anderson was amazing yesterday, drifting past people, great touches and should have been played in by Bowler for a goal from one of his runs.

Hes shown he can cut it at this level and like his little run inside to set up the attack at Bristol away he's good at getting his body in between players and getting past them at times.

A very good player.

👍👍

agree with Wintle and played some nice long passes too. I was surprised he took Wintle of and left Stewart on seeing he was on a yellow.
My only critisism is we started to drop back again in the last 10 minutes scares the 5h!t out of me.

Yates is a passenger he’s a compleat waste of time TJJ was arguably are best player yesterday he’s similar to Simms .. we should of took the money for Yates he’s out his depth in the championship good league one player
