NEW YEARS EVE PRESENTED BY PERSPECTIVE FC
What a way to start 2024! A pre-written post about a god-awful game against Fulham away from home. It was the worst performance of the season, tinged with even more regret, knowing that Zinchenko is having a scan on another calf injury.
I don’t even know where to start with this game, but I’ll try to frame it in a way that makes you feel good about January 1st.
That was our first truly awful performance of the season.
We didn’t deserve anything. The manager didn’t set the boys up correctly, the team didn’t have any urgency or in-game management, and the subs seemed to make us worse.
It didn’t start badly; we did exactly what we needed to do: scored early and made Fulham come at us. The goal was a beauty. David Raya cut out a cross and rolled to Kai, the German swept a vertical ball to Martinelli, the Brazilian bombed forward into the and forced a diving parry from Leno. Bukayo followed in for the tap-in. We didn’t hold onto the lead. In fact, we almost immediately let Fulham get at us with their aggressive pressing. The equalizer happened when Ben White decided to do a one/two with Bukayo who was standing in the middle of the pitch like a striker, he lost the ball, Fulham was quick in transition, and everyone was out of position, including Declan Rice, we were in such a bad place Willian laid up the cross which found Jimenez at the back post for a great finish. How are we committing like that when we were 1 up away from home"
