33 We win the ball back near the edge of their box but Jota chooses the wrong option with Harvey in acres of space to the right.

We’re not quite finding the right ball at the moment, picking the wrong option as you say - if we keep going it will happen

36 Corner to us is only half cleared and Jota gets taken down on the edge of the box. Free kick in a promising spot. Macallister hits it into the wall and it’s cleared. Fulham break but Bradley defends well

38 Fulham nearly in again but Diaz is alert with some back post defending. Corner to Fulham. Cleared.

That Robinson is quick. Great defending from Diaz

42 Abysmal refereeing from Coote. There’s a foul but play goes on and we get into a great position with a break but Coote brings play back for the foul. Fulham time wasting already.

The ref completely messed us up there by blowing the whistle when we'd beaten the press. Why didn't he let us play on?

Klopp was on the sidelines there fuming.

All huff no puff at the moment. Just can't find that end product.

Yep a little frustrating right now. Must keep patient and try to create more.

44 Perriera shoots straight at Kelleher. We need more out of possession from Gravenberch.

I’m 100% sure that Virgil is not 100%

I don't think he's right at all and now being on a yellow card he's at risk especially with the playing acting from the Fulham players.

More full stop. He’s become quite frustrating, but he’s still young

Nearly Joe

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #55 on:** January 10, 2024, 08:49:20 pm »

Last action of the half sees Joe blast one wide from the edge of the box. HT 0-1. Lots of huffing and puffing but very little quality so far.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #56 on:** January 10, 2024, 08:49:29 pm »

We have to be patient tonight.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:04:53 pm »

45 We kick off attacking the Kop - some nice play from Mac Allister puts on the attack but defended and we go again - think this will probably be the pattern

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #58 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:06:02 pm »

46 Deflected shot from Gravenberch is taken easily by Leno - he did well after initially losing the ball there

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #59 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:07:36 pm »

48 Much better from Gravenberch who makes space for himself on the edge of the box but just misses wide

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #60 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:07:41 pm »

Fulham don't look like they will be venturing out of their half the way they have set up

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #61 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:08:20 pm »

Just shoot

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #62 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:08:39 pm »

49 Elliott's deflected shot ends at Jota's feet in the area but e can't get his shot off - felt sure he was scoring there!

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #63 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:09:29 pm »

50 Much better intensity at the start here - must make it count, we press them into a corner

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #64 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:10:14 pm »

Fulham are a joke. Every opportunity to slow the game down.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #65 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:11:08 pm »

51 Elliott's corner not the best but Mac Allister shoots from the edge of the box which is blocked - ends up with Jones shooting from the left of the area which is saved by Leno - now they're wasting time with fake injuries - we probably will need to get used to this if we don't score soon

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #66 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:11:42 pm »

Gakpo & Nunez getting ready

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #67 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:12:45 pm »

53 Elliott's through ball doesn't quite find Diaz - throw to us

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #68 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:14:16 pm »

54 More probing - very much like the first half - we have to take advantage though - Jota can't quite get his shot away on the edge, one touch too many

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #69 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:14:49 pm »

55 Nunez & Gakpo on for Elliott & Gravenberch - harsh on Harvey

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #70 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:15:31 pm »

56 Fulham dangerous on the break again - good defending from Gomez at the back post

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #71 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:17:45 pm »

57 Good period of pressure breaks down on the edge on their box - we build again but Nunez cross is taken by Leno - Fulham then counter and win a corner

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #72 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:18:53 pm »

59 Corner from their left by Pereira - away by Konate, and Jimenez cross goes behind for a GK - over to Jill

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #73 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:21:02 pm »

61 Gomez loses the ball, and Fulham start an attack, but we eventually deal with it.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #74 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:21:20 pm »

We haven’t got used to this shape at all.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #75 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:22:44 pm »

63 This game is starting to break up a bit, as first we and then Fulham attempt attacks. Every now and then we are being caught, but Fulham have so far wasted any chance they've had.

They’re almost one on one every time they attack. We’re starting look like we’re running out of ideas a bit

Yeah, the four attackers aren’t really helping at the moment. Think we could with a spell of possession first but it’s too franctic.

We look a bit all over the place really. Just nothing clicking up front. Hopefully Jota comes up with a clinical finish soon.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #79 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:25:24 pm »

65 We get a free kick for a foul on Bradley, no yellow card why ref? Macca takes the free kick and it's narrowly wide.
