MORE FUCKING INJURIES, a chance to go clear at the top gone and a somewhat shocking performance. Not the best Sunday to be honest. VAR can fuck right off too. We were lucky to get a pen, I’d be fuming if that went against us. The rule is daft. They spent the length of Wolf of Wall Street looking for a Fabinho foul only for the ref to then go look at Maccies menu to decide he didn’t want anything and it wasn’t a fucking pen.Two midfielders at CB, a forward in Midfield and me in despair as I ran out of nipple jokes at the expense of Areola.Remember, these ratings are just opinions. They in no way have any effect on your life. Don’t get angry. Just let me know yours in the comments below. Alisson – 8Four big saves from Ali in that game and one of the reasons it wasn’t over at half time. Great strike for the goal, absolutely twatted it in, so won’t take too much away from the keeper. Not many deserve credit from that game, Ali does though.Trent – 670 minutes under his belt and it is clear he is coming back from an injury, not helped by everyone else being shite in the first half. Bullied at times, sloppy passing, was the same for everyone.Fabinho – 8The only other reason besides Ali that it wasn’t more for Fulham’ some big, important challenges, blocks and clearances from the big man again. Don’t think it was a pen either. Despite what Partrice Evra thinks.Matip – 6Well according to Sky he’s got a back problem, possibly from carrying a list of his previous injuries. They didn’t say that, I made that up. But he does have a back issue. Starting to get me down tbh.Robbo – 6Plenty of clearances and defensive actions required from Robbo. Went and some fucking mental run and thought he could take Fulham on by himself coz no other fucker was up for it in the first half. Didn’t work out.Hendo – 6.5Non existent in the first, besides barking orders and trying to dictate but like the rest of the midfield, just couldn’t get a grip on the game. Tried a few long balls to get Salah, Bobby and Mane involved but Fulham were all over it. Should have scored too but denied by Areola. Tit.REDMEN TV CHRISTMAS JUMPERS OUT NOW!! – BUY HERE
Gini – 6.5Mad one for Gini that, he was dispossessed too easily on more than one occasion which is just unlike him, oddly, that’s his strength. Overrun and outnumbered in the first, slightly better in the second and I have no idea why he took the free kick, but I’m happy that did.Jones – 8Fucking hell, he’s a bit good isn’t he. I could have named four or five players that I expected to take that game by the scruff of the neck and one of them would not have been Curtis Jones, which in truth, is actually a compliment. 19 years old and going on runs Maradona would have been proud of.Salah – 7Gets points for the goal, which just about went in but pretty much non-existent other than that. Had a half volley which he lashed wide but nothing else to write home about.Bobby – 6Looked lost in the first half, needlessly sloppy in possession, passing and everything in between. Picked it up in the second, lots of link up play, looked to penetrate the back line but was just outnumbered every time he got on the ball.Mane – 6Hardly got a look in during the first and then kicked in to action mid way through the second, provided that bit of needle and grit to try and see us over the line, just too little, too late in the end.
SubsTaki – 7Can’t fault the lads effort sometimes but in some games, especially ones like that, more is required. Too many challenges and second balls not being well, challenged. It’s not a case of using strength, it’s mentality. Get fucking stuck in. You can see his technically gifted, he just needs to improve the other side of his game.Neco – 620 minutes for Neco important in what looked like a premeditated sub. Some good forward runs and took a heavy one from Lookman, lucky to walk away there.Divock – N/ACan’t be arsed giving him a score, only played five.Ross – @rossic89
