I think you summed it up perfectly, our defence is our weakness we definitely need a couple of new players in the summer and I think we should drop Berge or sell him as he just isn’t good enough, as much as I like Sess he had an awful performance and that penalty he gave away could have cost us, why not play Cuenca in midfield instead of Berge I think he would do a better job, I hope Kevin won’t be too badly injured as he is starting to look good.
Do you know the word "Curmudgeon"? You certainly qualify. Your ratings are so harsh that I'm surprised that you didn't give Robinson 2/10 for failing to leave the players' area. Your ratings are very different from Owen's, The Guardian's, and my own eyes after seeing the game on TV. You seem to measure Fulham against some ideal of a team that never existed or will exist. I would rate your ratings 3/10.
Good point about Silva's tactics. If he wants to persist with the deliberate, short-passes around the edge of box / manipulate defences through careful posession approach, then why aren't we signing stronger, more consistent and more ball-retentive players, in the KDB mould, instead of flash-bang, high risk / reward winger types like Kevin, Chukweze, Bobb etc? It makes no sense, the personnel and the playing style do not match up.
I think a bit harsh on Iwobi - my heart lifts when he has the ball as he is the only real risk taker that we have when passing- of course that means he will give the ball away more than others. Really disappointed with Muinz cameo - your holding on to a lead, run your heart out to close people down in the last few minutes please!!!
I don’t quite understand how a striker scoring two goals ‘masks a poor performance’. Performed his role to a tee, no?

Always enjoy reading the ratings, though.

Defense was not great but Sess was a problem for sunderland in the offensive end on several possessions, just a little unlucky.

I do enjoy reading these assessments. But could you run it through a spell-checker before publishing? The errors distract from the message.
