The idea that just because we are in the premier league we shouldnt expect more (1 Viewer)

I can't comprehend spending big ( by Cov's standards) and not playing those signings. Surely Lampard had the final day in buying those players and has to have the man management skills to sort out any fallout ..Just not playing them them is poor in my opinion . Additionally how Mfuni isn't starting every week is mystifying.
Whilst i agree on not playing the likes of Ghobo and Tuna more, Mfuni has been the victim of Thomas and Pinnock being the best 2 players by a stand out mile every week. Whilst he looks a class player, at 19 he was never gonna get an immediate start ahead if either of those 2 or Amenda. And theyve been so good, you now cant justify dropping either of them for him.

In the context of the Premier League Fulham are a poor side. We saw that on Saturday.

Going in to the season with the understanding that it's going to be extremely difficult and expecting more than we are showing at the moment are not mutually exclusive standpoints.

I'm not sure why you're looking at this with no nuance at all.
Premier league innit?! Cant complain about shit, cuz its not as shit as it used to be!

I really liked Bassette, but he wasn't up to top of the championship standard, let alone PL.
Young player, probably not. Certainly growing into a good player. Decent standard, 7th top league in Europe. You could say the same about Cherif. Although I do think he will turn out to be a very good player, possibly as a winger, not striker. Hopefully turns out to be a top striker for us, big ask though.
 
Just a post about one of our players. May have done a job here, who knows. Lampard didn't fancy him, similar theme happening currently.
Sending Bassette out clearly harmed us didn't it.

Yes great. I mean I’m sure we would have done better in the championship if we’d kept him.

Just completely swinging now. No issues with some (SOME) of the criticism, but you'd think last season was hot garbage with some of the crap on here.
 
7th top league in the World, teams like Club Brugge and Anderlecht, the Maltese Premier League

Top league in Belgium, rated 7th in World, appreciate not premiership, but he has scored 7 in 9, playing against teams like Club Brugge and Anderlecht.

how many players come from that league into the PL out of interest?

Just 1 or 2 then...
 
Unfortunately Hull and Ipswich are fighting with tooth and nail in games we are getting rolled over far too easily.The substitutions are again are the same as in the championship like for like and very rarely change a game.We need to start being horrible to play against as we can't rely on the limited talent we do have.This weekend we need changes.
 
We didn't and don't currently need basette. It's nice to see him doing well though and he's young enough to still possibly force his way back into our thinking perhaps. He's contracted to us so no need to write him off completely

They have first dibs, price already agreed. Just have to reach an agreement with Basette.
