So, let’s hear from all you happy bunnies instead... point out the positives, highlight the ’realism’ of that performance and detail your level of satisfaction with the tactical decisions

Your readership awaits...

What’s the point in picking supposed footballers such as Rodwell, Pienaar, Osman or Fellaini if you’re gonna consistently bypass them all game — or in Fellaini’s case just play the ball in his general direction and hope for the best?

There were glimpses in the first half of some decent moves involving Pienaar and Osman, yet the minute we are put under pressure, we resort to the hoof up-field to nobody, only for it to come straight back at us.

I’m totally sick to fucking death of watching this utter drivel, and it’s embarrassing to think that several million people across the country have just seen us play like that (again!).

Don’t worry though, as Moyes has mentioned a couple of times this last week, we started slowly last year too — so that’s OK then.

There will be some of you who beleive we will recover and kick on!! The table, my friends, does not lie... we will IMHO finish below mid-table: 12th-13th. Sorry but all bar Wolves and maybe Birmingham would have fancied beating us today!!

We’ll beat AEK on Thursday and people will think everything will be ok, just like a last-minute pen against Wigan papered over the cracks of the summer. This season will be a struggle... we cant keep looking back and thinking, "Well, it was ok last year".

I think Moyes's comment about £19 million showed his frustration with the board. I know it is early in the season but it just feels like all the progress Moyes has made in the last few years since we finished 4th has been thrown away by dithering Bill and Destination Nowhere.

Yobo is a fucking clown, he can't kick or head a ball. Pienaar also had a ’mare, constantly giving the ball away... and how many times does Jo have to get caught offside? It was fuckin’ garbage, long ball shite.

Pienaar's got to be stuck in the middle from now on and give Bily the left flank at least until Arteta's back. Osman could sell the programmes outside... so long as he can stay on his feet.

Two regulars whose positions are supposedly under threat having their worst games of the season so far (considering the opposition). ’Stale’ is the word one poster used and he’s bang on. One spawny win against Wigan does not look promising. Blackburn will be bloody and pretty ugly to watch and then it’s off to Pompey who are surely due a win. It doesn’t look good.

It’s the players’ job to play. They didn’t today. If it’s the wrong players in the wrong positions who screw up, yeah, that’s partly Moyes’s fault. But today it was the right players in the right positions making stupid mistakes.

Put the blame where it’s due. Duff is what they call here in the States a one-trick pony. There’s no way in the world Baines should have allowed him to do the one thing he does best.

Yes Hibbo and Ossie get some stick but they were truly awful today. Osman was never wide enough and basically left Hibbo to do all the attacking down that side so we either didn't attack at all down there or we were left with Hibbo lumping the ball into nowhere.

Yes, Baines should have done much better against Duff but that second half saw us constantly on the back foot until it was too late. Some decent attacking options would have relieved the pressure, but that didn’t happen until we were 2-1 down and Fulham were happy enough to sit back and ride it out.

DM has no idea about unlocking a defence in a tight game and consequently we forever struggle, especially against sides with strong defences.

Not good enough

I thought Hibbert didnt do too bad, I also think that he would be a better player if he didnt have Osman, who has been poor for a while, in front of him, though I do admit to wanting to see what Heitinga can do at right back.

I am sorry if this is a ramble but this is how I saw things today:
HOWARD: couldn’t help the goals nd did ok
HIBBERT: steady but not a world beater
YOBO: a good game but would love to see some leadership
DISTIN: fairly solid but needs to settle
BAINES: a bit of a let down, poor for their winner and he aint no freekick taker
OSMAN; started brightly but the usual fade and no support for Hibbert
NEVILLE: stupid, stupid foul for their first though hope injury ain’t too serious
CAHILL: scored but offered little else, a poor start to the season by his standards
RODWELL; solid and assured but not to be played alongside Neville. Two minuses don’t equal a plus.
JO: a good first half with some nice touches, however you can’t keep whacking 50 yard balls onto his head and expect him to be a 20 goal a season striker
PIENAAR: a bright spark in a dull team and we will be lucky to keep hold of him
SUBS: all too little too late
MOYES; I like him but as someone has said.....take a fucking chance. He has Vaughan and The Yak back, as well as new players stuck on the bench, and does fuck all with them........use them or lose them you fool. Every other team has stuck their new players in as they are meant to be an improvement, us, well maybe we will see them in November, probably playing out of position!!!!!!!!

Prior to kickoff the omens were bad. At least three of the players sitting on the bench should have started this game. But Moyes plumps once more for his cagey defensive performers. C’mon, this is Fulham. Surely we can field a better starting eleven then them.

Our game plan (if one existed) seemed to be the tried and trusted lump it up and hope for the best. A corner, a free kick, a deflection? We can be so hard to watch. No style, no flair, no imagination. No plan B.

I had hoped that eventually when we had a talented bunch of players, that Moyes would change his attitude and consider attacking football as an option. But, alas, it’s not to be. I’m not sure how much more of this I can stomach.

Let Bily, Fell, Pienaar, etc all play together. We may still lose, but at least we will have players out there who can pass and create. And who just might be entertaining. It’s seems like an age since we’ve had that.

Cautious against a team in the bottom 3 — imagine how bad we will be against a good side. Actually we don't have to... we saw it in the 1st game against Arsenal. At least we will have no worries about a top 4 team poaching our manager.

We have now lost to two poor teams,got very lucky against Wigan and been thrashed by a team who emphasized the difference in class.

This is a really bad situation and Moyes has lost the plot. We have to consider a change in management before too long. This cannot be considered a slow start... it is showing all the signs of a crisis unfolding.

The result against Fulham was particularly disappointing given that those are usually the kind of teams that we get a result against. Our form against last seasons big four is of course abysmal. One win out of four, things aren't looking good for sure.

I’ve also rated Fellaini as overpriced at £1.5M never mind €15M. Since the end of 1970 (short periods in the 80s apart) we have also been destined to suffer some truly dreadful football teams coached by some truly awful managers and this could be it again after so much promise.

A Dutch guy who I work with told me Heitinga wouldn’t get a game in his son’s infant side and Everton are becoming more and more like the Emperor with no clothes. We have the air of terminal rot about us now too, possibly started by the dreadful Lescott affair, but if we don’t arrest it soon then there is no limit to how badly we can do this year — including relegation.

Hopefully I’ll be made to look like an idiot and hopefully the old adage that good players don’t become bad overnight will kick in but what is worrying me is that most of them were never actually that good but flattered to deceive. It is quite likely though that we have been rumbled and have no Plan B. Think also of the possibility of Jags and Arteta coming back a permanent yard short of pace? Oh dear, it’s all too depressing to contemplate.

Something is not right, something stinks with the team selection, the tactics, the lack of ambition. What is it and when is it going to be sorted out, as I and millions, yes millions of other fans can't take this anymore.
