Not being negative but WTF is he doing with that sub ?

[goose]

We need some kind of forward momentum here.
Maybe Ings? Or the Brazilian youngster?

 

[ragingbull]

We need a new keeper that was woeful 

[goose]

Piss poor defending.

Potter has really got his hands full here. We need to show a bit of mental toughness here.

[happygilmore]

i'd worry we might tire like in the Villa game.

2-1

Need to dig deep

[Leonard Hatred]

The moaning and negativity on here is pathetic.
15 mins in and some had already written the team and Potter off .
Like 2 year olds having a tantrum because we weren't playing free flowing football and winning after 15 mins and 5 days after Potter was appointed

Shhh. Certain people will demand you get banned for saying things like that.

Certain sensitive types.

Looks like we’ve more of an idea of how to try to win a game than under either Loppy or Moyes at the moment, especially with this line up. Not going early though. 
Much much better after the first twenty minutes. 

[Sydney_Iron]

Missed the first half, got my times wrong but glad to see we are 2-0 up 

COYI

[stubbo]

Given the lineup and oppo, can't moan at that first half. Everyone putting a shift and their foot in, some lovely one touch passing, couple of good goals, and by and large the team well structured and working for each other, despite the mish mash combo of players.

Thought all the midfield have done ok...even Rodriguez given the pace of the game and how few minutes he's had. Alvarez performance a different league to how it's been this season.

What a difference a tactically astute manager can make. 

[Pub Bigot]

Enjoying this. 

[zico]

Well what a difference confidence makes. Good half of a half, two great finishes and one great move. Would still put Kudus up top though, Fulham have to attack and will need someone with pace to try and got on end of counters.

[twoleftfeet]

Can I just check that WE are winning 2-0 and not Fulham because fuck me there are some miserable sods on here.

With the players we have available that was a superb half.

[Keep dreaming]

Well how about that. 2 shots, 2 goals and suddenly we look more lively and composed.

Let's hope we keep the pressure up second half, we don't want to start as we did first half. Because that was pure gash.

Come on Potter, get them.running and playing the west ham way

[threesixty]

Kudus are really struggling with the easy pass options.

 

 

Teams are working him out. Been here long enough now. They know he overplays. Just wait for him to make a mistake,

He really needs to see the pass before he gets the ball. It's like he's playing street football or something. 

[happygilmore]

Will settle for that FH clean sheet. Goals a bonus.

[Keep dreaming]

Kudus are really struggling with the easy pass options.

[kylay]

Guido might be the slowest decision-maker I've ever seen at this level.

[Keep dreaming]

Twonsupernfoals, and suddenly we start to press higher. Oh my what a goal can do to a team

[happygilmore]

Keeping our shape and not sitting with 11 protecting our 18 yard box 

[zico]

Brilliant by Fab.

[Mike Oxsaw]

Now, THAT was a team goal.

[Takashi Miike]

I need to moan more

[Keep dreaming]

Incredible stuff. COYI

[zico]

Bloody hell where's the last 5 minutes come from?!
