FULHAM 2 IPSWICH 2 | A TALE OF THREE PENALTIES | ANOTHER TWO POINTS THROWN AWAY #itfc #fulhamfc

Town take a point at The Corrage, but it should have been all three as we gift Fulham not one, but two penalties. Thanks for watching, please Share, Like & Subscribe 🙏

Doesn't matter how long the videos are I look forward to your views, reviews and comments. Agree about Morsey. Love the guy but he's too slow for premier league. Mick Mills has been saying this as well. Keep up the good work Rich 👏

Present timings are just about perfect dear boy, not too short, not too long.

I was spitting feathers over Delap being substituted and his replacevent not coming anywhere near Premiership quality unfortunately.
I'm a bit concerned about Johnson being caught the wrong side of his opponent yet again and I was impressed with the strength that Burns showed in the tackle/challenges in his last game. Morsy has looked off the pace recently and I think Cajuste is offering a lot more going forwards. I can't honestly remember Phillips getting a mention after he came on at Fulham.
There is no excuse for Morsy making that lazy attempt of a tackle that he did. I agree wholeheartedly with you about Davis being caught out upfield and he too was on his last-legs but was more vulnerable than keeping Delap on the pitch when it came to substitutions being made.
I would like to see Szmodics play in that '10' role and link more directly/centrally with Delap.
PS > Happy New Year to you and yours. 🎉🥳

Good video, I would recommend 10 mins is the sweet spot! Not least for your sanity & microphones!

[gordongraffin]

Just right as it is, would love to see more participation from young son.

[Elmer]

We want a 24hour steam of the Crunchers life 😆 We love the videos(short or long) keep them coming.

[jonathanstringer]

Your time frame is about right Rich imo, 20 odd minutes give or take is fine.

[peterfoy]

Not issues with the result..definitely in the mix. I would use the Ipswich Town game against Bristol Rovers as a pre season game and one to win. Rest half the squad and give others and a couple of youth academy players an opportunity. Would like an FA Cup run. But the Premier League is the priority

[adriangarrett]

20 minutes fine the facts and information great

[neilbarley]

Great work again bud. Keep them up to 30mins. Maybe do pre review outside the ground, team news, speak to others. Add this in maybe. But up to you. Up the town Barlz

[keithhughes]

Hi Rich 15/20 mins is about spot on. Thanks for great videos. Davis tackle was crazy, turned his back a lot. Morsey tackle was just so unnecessary, nowhere near the ball.
It’s a shame three points were there for the taking.
Onwards and upwards COYB 👍🚜

The timespan is about right as it is. Keep up the good work.

So much happened in that game yesterday Rich. I've taken a bit of flak for saying that I feel it was a mistake to substitute Delap so late on, so I'm pleased you seem to concur. A lot of folks, quite rightly in many ways, say that he's a precious resource we need to preserve. However he didn't look tired to me, he's 21 after all, and this was a time when KM should have rolled the dice because, again with all respect to Al Hamadi, he is simply not a threat and, in taking off Delap in a tight winning position when we were somewhat under the cosh, this made life a lot easier for Fulham to press higher. Apart from all that, the Bristol Rovers game is an opportunity to rest him, so I really think that was an error. Not saying it cost us the game, but it certainly didn't help.

With regard to Leif, he really has his work cut out playing that role at this level. It works fine in the Championship, but tracking back at speed in transition, when you have attackers with Premiership pace and physicality, has caused us problems down that wing all season. I think this really needs addressing in line with the tactical fine tuning we are seeing that, by and large, is transforming our chances of staying up, as is becoming widely recognised in the media.

It's heresy to suggest that Morsy might not be the best option, however that was a very poor late foot for that first pen and I fear that there are negative habits in his game that sometimes show up in this sort of way. He's a guy that gets stuck in, that's what makes him so special. However I do wonder if we need to revisit the wisdom of keeping Phillips on the bench when it looks as if he could build a fantastic and very robust partnership with Cajuste. I wouldn't be averse to seeing Morsy coming on as a sub for either of them. That might give us some great energy in the final phases of the game and reduce the possibilities of yet more yellow cards. Difficult decision and he is still Captain Fantastic. I don't expect that to change.

Broadhead is, for me, a revelation. Due to injury, it was quite easy to almost forget he would be an option at some stage, but I don't think we can afford to be without his vision and creativity. And as I mentioned in comments on your short video last night, we've not conceded a goal from open play since Walton became starting keeper.

If you look at the Prem form table over the past six matches, we are in 14th place and that is really a superb achievement, given the quality of teams we've faced. Unsurprisingly, Newcastle top that table and it partly explains why we were like rabbits caught in the headlights against them.

Looking at our relegation rivals, Everton are really trending very poorly. They looked good against us at Portman Road, but haven't done much since and we'd set up against them very differently at the moment. I think they may ultimately be the team to usurp. Leicester and Southampton are at the bottom of the form table and I think most commentators acknowledge that they've gone backwards while we've really stepped things up.

In terms of video timings, I think 20 minutes or so is about perfect. Always look forward to your videos.

[JoeC]

Agree with your Morsy question and we should be expecting Kalvin Phillips to be playing more than just coming off the bench for 20mins. Since he’s unable to play against Man City, perhaps start him for Brighton. I think the January window will improve quality and depth.

[jacksmorrow]

Hirst is fit again btw... Broadhead been superb last two games

[AlanPhillips-lm]

Great blog thanks Rich, time about right

[gregnicolle]

Thanks ☮ Rich. Excellent review and your vlogs are never to long, 15 to 25 minutes is a good time span for me thanks. Poppy is very gorgeous, she loves ❤ you, another great performance, and the result was ok, can't keep dropping points at end of games when we have little time to reply

[ericclacton]

Just right rich, really enjoy your style, keep it up mate.

[michaelkennedy]

Terrible penalties given away, we are learning all the time and hopefully Morsy and Davis can learn from these mistakes, both have alot of credit in the bank so shouldnt get too much grief for this, only my opinion, twas gutting to see another 2 pts slip away in injury time but so proud of the team. Great show 💙

[garrynolloth]

Great vlog totally agree with you about Morsey, but it’s only an opinion coyb

[kevhanson]

As long as you want Rich 30 minutes or same as always 20 25 minutes whatever you want.
Id have taken a point Clarke unlucky would have been 3 1. Missing Omari might have sealed all 3 point's but let's get 2nd home win v Brighton after B R'S .Great video Rich
