Yes, not a bad team selection from Nuno.

For sure Fulham are going to score at least one, so we need to score at least 2 if we are going to get 3 points.

MGW should not be taking corners.

Great ball, was it MGW? Thought the chance had gone when he came back on his right foot.

Wow!
yeah Well that’s the best 45 (+3) mins I’ve seen us have for a long, long time.

Could / should have been at least 4 up and out of sight.
However, 1 goal from Fulham and I fear we’ll be on the back foot, though.

Gee, that was a stressful 50mins.
Did work very hard and had 3 very good chances that should have been on target.
I’d certainly have taken that a couple of hours ago - the goals (and misses) were beautiful passages of play.

Phew! Tough 2nd half watch but we deserved that result.
Hopefully it will give them confidence now to play without fear.
Have to sort out our dead ball defending rage

20 goals conceded from set pieces - next worse is Burnley with 15 eek

One of Danilo's best games and Murillo and Omobamidele looked better than Murillo and Felipe.
Origi should have buried his chance though!

Wow! Hadn't seen that. If we could improve our set piece defending we could have a good team.

Omobamidele certainly growing into his position as he gets game time.

Agree re Danilo.

Guessing we'll go slightly less attacking v Spurs on Sunday, but great to finally see the attacking four everyone has been crying out for.

Come on Arsenal tomorrow!

Great game, puts a lot of pressure on the clubs around us too.

Thought we looked great, Elanga really should have scored his chance. But that’s a bit picky when you are winning comfortably.

Happy days.

Hopefully we are beginning to see Forest and Everton pull clear of the 3 promoted teams, thus rendering PSR moot in terms of deciding the relegation places.

And hopefully your 4 points has set the upper limit for our second IC, albeit I'm not sure how you earned the two points reduction, or if we had enough time to adapt our plea / strategy and earn the same discount. Disparaging talk of you "sending 2 emails" from ToffeeTV podcast...must be more to it than that??

Early days yet, but I know Luton have some tough fixtures coming. Arsenal next, and City soon. Ours are favourable (on paper), we play the bottom 5 (including yourselves) in our last 8 games. (With Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal thrown in for good measure)

Shame for Luton cos I like their plucky attitude. But you can't be relegating teams for being ran like st (in our case) or not having a squad (thus having to *shock horror * buy players).

Impossible at corners but when we’re defending free kicks I’d like to see the keeper shouting at the defenders to get the line further upfield.

One free kick last night (and several in other games before) the line was midway between penalty spot and six yard box. Why?
Five yards further out and it’s so much easier to defend. Even if they win the header the keeper has time to see it.

Totally agree, surely they should be working on this in training? Nuno being an ex keeper, you would have thought he would be looking at our defensive set up to protect the goal/ keeper as much as possible.
