Yes. He was bullied by Rondon (I think it was last season). But he seems to have slowly adapted to the physicality of this league .
Still worries me and I don't have complete confidence in him.

I feel exactly the same. He regularly misses headers he should be going for at corners etc. I am not at all convinced as many seem to be on here that he is really a 40 million pound player and a great prospect. He has a great build for a CD but doesn’t really use this strength and is too often chasing after players because of his dodgy positioning.Still worries me and I don't have complete confidence in him.

It was ream. Sorry for being pedantic
The fact that you call a woman 'that Arsenal b***h' rather than even saying her name (like you would with male commentators) shows you already demeaning her because of her sex. Plus, as I said, she didn't look any more or less 'gutted' than Redknapp and Souness, yet you only singled Alex Scott out for criticism, funny that.
Ref was good, wasn't he? Cautioned Sanchez when he had been fouled by Mitrovic. Failed to send off Mitrovic when he kicked Sanchez. Cautioned Rose for diving when it was clear he had been fouled.
A lot of this is the media's fault, making out diving to be the worst offence on the field of play. Of course it's cheating, but so are handball, professional fouls, falsely claiming for a corner or throw-in, standing in front of the ball to prevent a free kick being taken and so on.
Have to be honest we got away with it first half could of be two down and Babel was causing problems, having said that the defence has looked shaky all season so far they hopefully will play better Thursday night.Catching up on the highlights... I have to say that we should be thanking our lucky stars for Jan and Hugo. If not for them that could have been very embarrassing indeed. As if that wasn't the case every game anyway of course. Two absolute examples of their positions.
So much hilarious negatively in here today. Jesus.
We've got a great team on the pitch and options on the bench. Easy win for us. 3-1.
You mean Nkoudou and Sterling?
Give it a rest mate.. She shouldn't even be commenting on Premier league football to a TV audience.. She's only there to please the pc world ffs..... Then again redknapp is more of a big girl than her..
What I meant is that Fulham are weaker than 18 other teams in the PL, based on their league position, and they have already played both their league games against Huddersfield.
They have to go for wins in all their remaining games this season (not that they will win many ) if they want to have any chance of survival. They cannot depend just on draws to keep them safe.
Today was a home game for them against a weakened Spurs side and when they had the FK in injury time , they should have gone and tried for the winner. That’s why I disagreed with Ranieri’s comment that they should have just played the ball at the corner to wind down the time.
Look before the match Fulham would have looked at the fixture list and pinpointed where they could have picked up wins and against who. They would have seen our fixture and said 0 points - if they can get a point out of it then it's a bonus.
1 point against a top 4 team who at the time were fighting to come back into the match is a good result, you can build on a draw and take the confidence going into the next match, imagine the contrast of how they're feeling now compared to how they would have been feeling if they had taken a point. This is my underlying point, it's not about trying to get as many wins as you can at a huge risk, it's the confidence knowing that they shut out a top four team going into the next match.
When you are a relegation threatened club you need every point you can get even if it means drawing the games you had no right to win. Even their manager knows that the point would have done them wonders but now all it's done is knock their confidence.
Their confidence has been low long before they played us. They are so deep in the mire that they can’t just pick which games that they need points from to save themselves from the drop.
We’ve dropped a few points in recent home games, and with most of our top players available. This game , we had Kane & Son (two of our major goal contributors ), unavailable, so I believe it would have been a good opportunity for them to try and nick a win at home.
There was barely a minute or so left in stoppage time and they had a FK in our half. So I don’t see why they shouldn’t have made a try to score a goal to get the three points. It was just too bad that they didn’t get the goal and also resulted in us getting the winner in the last few seconds of the game.
Because they'd be a point better off then they are now, that point could mean a difference in staying up or going down...
Not sure what out home games have to do with anything, we have the best way record in the league and we were playing away.
It's not just 'too bad' lol that was literally the worst outcome for them to throwaway a match with 10 seconds to spare.
A point is better than 0 points.
Absolutely, yet if that had been Mo Salah, in that situation he would not only have avoided a yellow card, he would probably have also been given a penalty despite it being just outside the area.The call on Danny was an absolute disgrace. Pawson has unfairly labelled Danny a cheat by giving him a card for simulation. He doesn't just ignore the fact that Danny's been absolutely clattered = but chooses to be "absolutely certain" that Danny faked contact.
It's just such a bad decision. There needs to be redress over incidents like this. The card should be rescinded, Pawson made to apologise and sent to the lower leagues for a spell as punishment.
They could have been more than a goal up in the first half. They also should have, IMO, a penalty. It was 1-1 at the 90th minute mark and then they had the opportunity to score from a FK. So I don’t see any reason for them not to give it a shot.

thats a ridiculous comment, if you take away the fact shes arsenal and a bird.. shes actually really knowledgeable, she gets tongue tied and says some things wrong. but i actaully quite ejoy listening to her, when souness and redknapp were slagging us off, she mentioned earlier in the season where we was playing bad but still digging out results, shows she does her research unlike the other gormless twats.
