TC return massively influencing our 26/27 premier league campaign. Tears in my eyes. He has been one of the clubs greatest servants. #FFC

Just saw Eddie Howe walking down the strand with who I presume to be his agent. Make of that what you will #FFC

Player ratings then. Feeling positive going into the international break. Leno - 8.5 Castagne - 6 Affengruber - 7.5 Bassey - 7.5 Robinson - 7 Charles - 6.5 Berge - 6 King - 7.6 Iwobi - 6 Bobb - 7 Gonzalo - 5 Definitely work to do, but another mini pre-season now to come! #FFC

Player ratings while it’s fresh - Leno - 7 Castagne - 7 Affengruber - 8.5 Bassey - 6.5 Robinson - 7.5 Charles - 8 Berge - 6.5 King - 8 Iwobi - 7.5 Bobb - 7 Gonzalo - 6.5 Tete - 7 Kevin - 7.5 Muniz - 6.5 Larson - 6.5 ESR - 6.5 Onto the next Fulham. COYW. #FFC

You’d take a point at Anfield any gw of the season. Brilliant to a man today. Can’t entertain any suggestions the players aren’t buying into what AA is selling. Affengruber, Charles and Kevin the standouts for me today. This squad will be just fine. Patience. #FFC

Some debut from Affengruber. Looked so composed out there. Only been in the building for a week. Changed the feeling of our back line completely. Brilliant performance today. #FFC

Very good performance so far. Playing some beautiful football. System so much better suited to Iwobi on left coming inside instead of Palacios and Affengruber instead of Andersen. Charles can play by the way… top midfielder. Need more from Berge + Bobb. King phenomenal. #FFC

Serious headloss today. Gutted at that second half performance and the defending for 90 mins. Player ratings - Leno - 2 Castagne - 3 Andersen - 2 Bassey - 6 Robinson - 6.5 Charles - 7.5 Iwobi - 3 King - 8 Palacios - 5 Bobb - 6.5 GG7 - 6 Subs - 3 LIV + MUN next… COYW #FFC

Charles light years ahead of Berge by the way. That ball Charles plays out to Bobb for the first goal is exactly where Berge would turn and play it back to Leno. V impressed with him in that role so far.

Josh King. Wow. Best player on the pitch in every game so far this season. So proud he’s Fulham. Need the next goal to cover some of those nerves at the back.

Really hoping it’s Affengruber for Andersen and Charles for Palacios today. Hate to say it so early but without Mateta and Sarr today is a must win. #FFC

Oh he’s top. Him x Bassey … Arbeloa ball #FFC

If we could sign a right back with the abilities and known quality (when available) of King Kenny I would absolutely take that. Silver linings … #FFC Larsson could turn out to be the signings of the season with his quality.

Would absolutely love Tomori. Him and Larsson would genuinely improve the standard of the squad. Unconvinced by Manuel Angel / any of the non-Ratiu RB options I’m seeing. Would love to see us gamble on a goalscoring winger too. Come on Fulham go crazy.

With Ratiu + Angel close, Larsson talks progressing and Matsima emerging as the desired RCB, we are a RW away from potentially a full set here… Tomorrow is going to be hectic. RW won’t be Soulé, I’m very confident it’ll be Nwaneri on loan. #FFC

0% excited about Manuel Angel. Doesn’t strike me as anything close to what we need at all. Need 3 more serious signings on top of that. At least … #FFC

Player ratings while head’s still hot. Leno - 3 Castagne - 6 Andersen - 4 Bassey - 7 Robinson - 4 Berge - 5 Palacios - 4 Iwobi - 4 Bobb - 2 King - 8 Gonzalo - 5 Nothing off the bench today either. Big few days needed to complete this squad @TonyKhan #FFC

So toothless. Andersen’s profile totally at fault for the goal that cost us today. They didn’t deserve 3 points from that. We just let them have it. King the only shining light, looks like we need 2 wingers who can come in and start. Poor on both side. Fullbacks and wingers.

Bobb has been really really really poor today. Everything he’s touched has caused a turnover of possession. Give Zepa a go.
