Strong lineup for FFC. Missing Tete still, but BCR playing well recently. Diop is still not good- Fulham need to find another CB in January.
Busy day for me haven't been able to follow or watch. Ran a quick errand turned on SIRIUS FC and the Fulham game was on. Announcer "Robinson has been absolutely superb today."
Jedi was really good today. Everton tested the FFC back line for speed and Ream was caught out a few times, but Jedi there to cover. Great showing by the defense.
Jedi seems to have hit a level where he's so consistent. He's a 7/10 guy which for a (left?!) fullback is like the equivalent of 9/10. But he has all the requisite physical skills and his tactical understanding and crossing have really become strengths. He was lights out today.
Yes he was. His defense was and is amazing. He needs to work on his crossing, which is interesting for him at the club level vs country- he creates so many chances for the USA but not so much for FFC.
He was voted FFC Man of the Match: MOTM: Jedi. 🌪Well played, @Antonee_Jedi!#FULEVE— Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) October 30, 2022
Antonee Robinson gets the start today in a visit to Manchester City. The Fulham. ⚫️#MCIFUL pic.twitter.com/DksbLiaFd5— Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) November 5, 2022
That penalty was so soft, it wasn't really even a penalty. Should've been overturned. There was a bit of contact and a meal was made, and it wasn't even a good meal.
That is as soft a PK you will see. A feather of a touch at most.... but Jedi will go down as the game-loser nonetheless. You have to be super aware of the situation. Any touch in the box and Man City guys are going to dive. They do anyways... but they were desperate and Jedi + the Ref gave them their lifeline. Hard to stomach that one after watching an incredible win for Leeds. Hope Jedi doesn't take it too hard.
Fans on the boards are gutted. They love Antonee, but they are correct to point out that he made a stupid, stupid play there. Just no reason to stick the foot out there - KDB had the ball in the other side and was going away from goal. otherwise, everyone thinks he had an outstanding game. Hero to zero in one play. This game is cruel.
It was a poor play, but he was also really, really unlucky. Just can’t make that challenge there. Learn and move on.

🇺🇸 #USMNT's Antonee Robinson, who has been excellent today, with a key pass to start the attack which led to Fulham's goal. Robinson and Tim Ream having superb seasons for Fulham. They have to be the left side of the USA's defense.#FFC 1-1 #MUFC #FULMUNpic.twitter.com/hd2LTAi3cP— Joe Prince-Wright (@JPW_NBCSports) November 13, 2022
Yet they lose again in horrible fashion. That was brutal. Robinson plays a great game and gives away the game with a soft PK a couple of games ago and now Fulham outplays Man U and gives away the game on the last play in stoppage time. Just brutal.
They scarcely "gave it away." Fulham were excellent; ManU were better, but largely on the back of a superstar (or a huge flop) in the making. Fulham pushed ManU all over the place for long periods of time and ManU had to work hard to get the deserved win. Fulham were impressive.

Interest from Inter Milan: Already on Monday, Inter's sporting director will be able to see another very interesting prospect at work in the match between the United States and Wales, which responds to the sketch of Antonee Robinson , already in Milan's sights in the past: the boy, always season in Fulham, has a contract expiring in 2024, which - in the absence of renewal - makes it an opportunity for the transfer market also in light of his 25 years of age". https://www.fcinternews.it/focus/i-...o-dell-inter-lazovic-idea-i-low-cost-i-910361
Newcastle and Inter Milan rumors: https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-...efender-howe-aims-beat-inter-milan-usmnt-star
He's got great work rate and offers something both going forward and defending, but his questionable technique at times gives me pause about moving to top end clubs. I want to see Antonee have lots of playing time, but will such teams put up with that where competition for starting spots is so high?
