"I must say if transfer funds were no issue out of this bunch we have at the club I'd probably keep Bowen and Emerson and give a chance under another manager to JWP, Alvarez and Kudus to see if they can get consistency. The rest aren't good enough and I'd cash in on Paqueta."

"This has been on the cards for weeks, when did we last turn up for the first half? In the last Europa Cup match Joe Cole labelled our first half performance as utter DROSS, that has been the way of it and we have got lucky with results. How can we spend c£500m and play like this, clearly moyes cannot get the most out of his signings. And where is sullivan, well last I heard he was going to increase the capacity of the stadium to make us second only to Manchester United in terms of size, what planet is he on? I really feel for those fans who travel all over to watch this rubbish, well done you and shame to a board who have neither the courage nor the wisdom to put this right."

[Helmut Shown]

We were fucking awful. We were very lucky against the 4B2s and our creativity was non existent in both games. Moyes is like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. It’s pointless bringing in good players if they are being directed by this dinosaur and the rest of the shower on the bench.

"Not a fan of Aguerd, too weak for a CB and makes too many mistakes, surprised Moyes is a fan TBH, he's not the type of CB that I'd imagine Moyes buying. Why the fuck was Cresswell playing instead of Emerson who was excellent v Spurs and has been one of best players this season, no idea what Moyes was thinking. Where was Alvarez? No surprise with him missing and Cresswell starting that we got tanked!"

"That game was one match too far for these players, they looked fucked. This was a free hit, we should have rested 6/7 players and given the squad players and youth players a chance. Hopefully Cresswell and Fornals will be off in January because they were poor although the other 9 were equally bad. The trouble with success is that you have too many games to play, Fulham look well rested we looked cooked. Onwards to Thursday"

"This is the level that Moyes and his staff have coached our team to and let’s be honest Fulham could have easily had 3 or 4 more goals.Massive money spent and that’s how we play. You cannot say it was just a bad day at the office, it’s happened too many times and too often. Moyes only constant is dreadful football."

[swindon hammer]

Really really poor. The manager has to take much of the blame that goes without saying and being 3-0 down at half time and bringing on 2 defenders is mystifying. Some of the players shouldn’t escape criticism either. I still look at our squad and think we have 3 players at most that are top 6 quality. That’s a lot of money wasted. I don’t always agree with Eerie but his long time assessment/opinion of Aguerd is looking spot on. How many basic mistakes has he made since he’s joined. These are basic schoolboy errors that shouldn’t need coaching.

[Sir Alf]

"Zico I make right. He should be rotating and players like Kehrer, Johnson and Cornet should get more minutes but I can only assume we see them as saleable to finance a striker in Jan ? But we really have some holes in the team and squad and rely on 8 or 9 to play every game and consistently perform It’s been obvious for so long we need energy and pace and movement and good passing. The claim is Moyes teams never get battered ? We should have lost by 7 or 8 but for their poor finishing. Steidten please save us ! :-("

[claypole]

Whoever made the decision not to bring a centre forward to the club in the summer should hang their head in shame. Bowen is not a cente forward and looked much better out wide. Paqueta had a bad game but briefly looked better when he dropped deep and picked the ball up. Moyes needs to pick the best players for their best positions instead of this square pegs in round holes bollocks. Could have been more than 5 (five).

"Shocking. Paqueta, lazy and can't pass. Kudus lazy fancy Dan"

[Sir Alf]

"Soucek and Benrahma are atrocious passers and Soucek has to be the slowest midfielder in the top divisions ? Mubama bless him looks at this point to not be a future prem player. 5-0 about right and so easy to spring thru our centre backs. What a disaster class that as others say, when you look beyond the results, or scoreboard. It was coming Steidten needs to get to work upgrading 3 or more slow technically inept Moyes type players"

[Any Old Iron]

How the fuck can you bring Benrahma on who is a proven serial failure and leave Cornet on the bench. Cornet cannot possibly be worse so at least give him a chance. Moyes and his methods have been on borrowed time and todays disgusting performance and scoreline should see the back of him. 5-0 to Fulham. FFS!!

Blame for today in order: 1. Fatigue / busy schedule 2. Players not doing what they were asked 3. The fans not getting behind the team 4. Israel

[David L]

"It takes a game like this to hopefully make the Moyes In groupies see sense. Dreadful line up with Super Soucek as the only defensive minded midfielder (but in the team for his goals....), even worse squad management bearing Thursday in mind, and game management and am no plan B as always. But we beat Spurs, right?? Give our most successful manager ever a 10 year contract. The usual knicker wetting shit from the 10 yo's is expected. You just know he'll go for the draw on Thursday and fuck that up as well. Get this fucker out"

5-0.

"Fulham in a different league to us today, but the root of our problems is we aren't rotating our squad anything like enough. Its the same players every game, some NEVER get a rest. This game was made for the likes of Cornet and Benrahma and Muamba to come in. Fornals and Cresswell are no longer the answer. Subs came when we were already 3-0 down. We need some action in the January window. This was a tired performance against a team on some good goal scoring form who were up for it."

[zico]

"I don't believe this flogging players into the ground crap. they are professionals who should be fit enough to play matches regardless and if they aren't fit enough you have to ask questions why. Our problem, bar the manager, is we only have a couple of players who hot form consistently,. the rest just seem to pick and choose when they will put the effort in. Let's not kid ourselves that Cornet and Mubama are the saviours, we just have a lot of average players and an average manager."
