Considering it was a tele game, Friday night and half term, thought it was a decent atmosphere last night?
Wasn't bad - early goal took us all by surprise though; much better whem we got on the front foot. Game was always going to suffer under the expectation - scoreline better than the performance.
Packed post-game, Podium bar shut (???), gave up trying the Stratford pubs & came back to Chelmsford where a terrible covers band was playing in The Fleece.
To be honest, I dont think it was deliberate he was in that position going for the ball missed it at speed and it hit his hand then his head and went in. It wasnt like he paddled it in with his hand direct. He got up and looked around expecting it to be ruled out.
But its all swings and roundabouts, Liverpool goal plus many other decisions that have gone for or against us over the season.

Got your Claret & Blue tinted specs on there old son, was blatant handball. Ref was directly behind Chicacheato and couldn't see it. But its all swings and roundabouts, Liverpool goal plus many other decisions that have gone for or against us over the season.
VAR will rule stuff like that out, and also result in a yellow for incidents like this. Rightfully so.
Still, even without that we would probably have won, the subs would have been made earlier had we still been behind after 60 mins or so.
One thing is plain ~ Fulham are doomed. Don't like to see Ranieri struggle, I like him.

Never said it wasnt handball. Its clear for me that he was attempting to head it, it happened so fast he had his left hand up as leaning forwards you tend to do that naturally to cushion your landing, you dont do a diving header with your hands by your sides! He missed the header, hit his hand, bounced back onto his head and then into the net. Not sure if you are going to deliberately handle the ball you would attempt to knock the ball onto your own head and score?VAR will rule stuff like that out, and also result in a yellow for incidents like this.

I dont think it was deliberate, should it have stood, of course not.

Also thought Fredericks had a good game, that recovering tackle when Mitrovic was clean through showed immense pace and timing.
certainly was & he's bloody quick. Zab had had a shocker in the first half. Doubt it'll make a difference but hopefully cittee playing for hours yesterday & loosing a couple of players to injury might help us on Wed...
