Well done boys - tough game to watch
We really need a striker option off the bench. # 1 priority in Jan. Kai and Jesus aren't the goal threat we need off the bench. Need a hungry quick striker.
At least Viktor had a few efforts on goal. Need to see him in the middle more and making better and more runs - then moan you ain't getting the ball. You need to step it up son. We wanted a 20 plus goal a season striker not over your contract.
Another clean sheet and squad depth showing its importance.
Was Eze even on the pitch today?
Anyway - well done. Didn't play great, away from home, clean sheet and 3 points. Now we need to start playing great.
{Ed025's Note - you never played very we well SY but a win is a win mate, Fulham are no push over and will take points off some good sides, you do have probably the best squad depth in the league and that will be crucial in the latter part of the season i feel, but let me enlighten you...Gyokeres is a lemon im afraid..

First game back after the international break and 3pts from a difficult away fixture. Not pretty but very effective.
Another clean sheet and Noni Ode Kai and Jesus all all to come back at some point during the long season ahead. After a very cautious start to the season everything is looking positive ✨️.

Its still early days for VG, we are still adjusting to accommodate him and he is still trying to adjust to fit in with us. He has until Kai is fit to just keep working hard and giving it all he has. Obviously if he isn't firing on all cylinders by the time Kai is fit he should and will have to drop to the bench for a while until his chance comes again. Let's wait and see how it plays out for him with us.

Thanks Ed - I’m not convinced by Viktor but many on here seem to love him. Hopefully he gets a few goals and see if he kicks on. Kai isn’t the answer nor is Jesus. Shame we didn’t go all out and buy a proper fast deadly striker. Hope we sort that in Jan but we will probably address in 3 years ?.
{Ed025's Note - i was hoping that Gyokeres would be the answer SY but in my eyes hes just not, the Portugese league seems very weak which is confirmed by the fact Amorim was a managerial god there, i do believe you have a very good chance of the league though mate because of your strength in depth..

A lemon is a bit harsh. Not suited to our style of play? Maybe. But I can't agree with your assessment of him being a lemon. We've seen much better players come to the EPL and not settle. That didn't make them bad players.
{Ed025's Note - i have nothing against the guy Sharpey but i just dont think hes the right fit mate...just an opinion of course, nothing would give me more pleasure than to see him banging in goals every week...but i do know my onions..

Chill out everyone. There’s a long way to go and Gyokeres will come good.
Last season we would’ve lost a few of these starting games if it wasn’t for the excellent recruitment from the club.

I’m interested Sy as to who this fast deadly striker is? COYG Also we are top of the league and NINE points better off than same fixtures last season! Bit of optimism wouldn’t go a miss I feel.

VG hasn't hit the ground running there is no real question about that but hopefully he will come good once whe fully adjusts to us and us to him.
On the question of buying another striker in January, what if he doesn't hit the ground running either? Buy a 3rd striker in summer 26 and a 4th striker January 27 if number 3 doesn't immediately set the world on fire? ????.
