Referee: Chris Kavanagh
Assistants: Daniel Cook, Marc Perry
Fourth official: Michael Oliver
Stats:
Fulham have lost just one of their last eight meetings with Cardiff in all competitions (W3 D4), though it was the reverse fixture back in October (2-4).
Cardiff have won all three of their Premier League meetings with Fulham, picking up a 2-1 victory in their only previous visit to Craven Cottage in the competition.
The home side haven't lost any of the last 23 Premier League meetings between two promoted clubs (W15 D8), since Leicester won 1-0 at Burnley in April 2015. The last seven sides to win away at a fellow promoted side have all avoided relegation.
Cardiff have lost nine of their 11 previous Premier League games in London (W1 D1 L9), with their only victory in the capital coming at Fulham in September 2013.
Fulham have won their last two Premier League games, last winning three in a row in the competition back in March 2012 under Martin Jol.
Fulham have kept a clean sheet in their last two Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 37 games in the competition.
Cardiff have lost seven of their last nine league games (W2), conceding at least twice in each loss while keeping a clean sheet in both wins.
Cardiff are looking to secure back-to-back top-flight away wins for the first time since February 1957, having won at Brighton in their last game on the road.
Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored the winning goal in five of Fulham's six Premier League victories this season. The Serbian has scored the highest percentage of his side's winners among all players in the competition this season (83%).
Cardiff's Bobby Reid has scored in each of his four league starts against Fulham in the league, also providing an assist in the Bluebirds' 4-2 win in the reverse fixture in October. In fact, against no side has he scored more league goals than he has against Fulham (4).

All guns blazing. This is the game. Win this and Brighton will be under the most pressure they'll have ever felt as players.

It was a very regular feature until the 2000's. The most regular time the fixture was held was during the 70s.

This feels like Hull away last year to me, same weekend as well.
Let’s get the job done City.
The wind is brutal. Could be some dodgy defending around today. Let's hope it's down their end!
C'mon City, let's get another double under our belt.

First goal is huge. We have very little on the bench if we have to chase the game.
Jazz Richards, Kadeem Harris, Rhys Healey and Danny Ward are all in the squad for a game that could decide our fate in the Premier League
We're fcuked

Arter, Josh Murphy and Zohore all missing from the squad.
Arter injured. Suspect NW not too happy with the other twos attitude in training.
Murphy was excellent at home v Fulham. His season is just disintegrating.
Away fans sound great :thumbup:
Mitrovic all over Morrison at the free kick
Anything given? Of course not

Stop it now or you're gonna be in the conspiracy corner.
****in farcical.
With VAR that's two pens already. I don't fancy this. Pundit on US TV just said if we had Mitrovic we'd easily safe by now. Have to say I agree.
Stop it now or you're gonna be in the conspiracy corner.
****in farcical.
Should have had two penalties by now
Its a joke
Come on Niasse :facepalm:
I've never seen a forward as hesitant in front of goal as Niasse
Ruined 2 great opportunities

it's confidence, but he should have at least had a pop.
It's like watching drunken football. I know the wind is causing some trouble but we can't afford to be this bad in the final third.
Divine Wright
27-04-19, 14:51
Shoot FFS.
Look like a couple of lower league sides. No exaggeration.
The only thing Niasse can do is run
How he's carved out a career in football is beyond me
What an awful game of football. Embarrassing.
You can dress this up however you want, two shocking sides who deserve the end of season relegation.
I know hoilett tracks back but feck me does he really need to give the ball away every time, get bobby on ffs

We look shocking at times. Not what I was hoping for at all.
I hope we have a good go second half, have to go for it. Not saying go throwing everyone forward just yet but we haven't had a shot yet that I saw (stream did break a couple of times).

One goal will win this.

why are we so afraid of shooting? niasse is pitiful
It's shit or bust. We need three points just to stand a chance. Just ****ing go for it. Get Bobby Reid on!

27-04-19, 15:12
Niasse is a fecking joke - except it's no longer funny!
Please get Niasse off. Ward had to be a better option.
Can't believe Niasse is still on.
Mitro missed sitter there.
Get Niasse off
Absolutely shocking
Are we playing for a draw
We look scared to shoot
Jesus Christ boys come on
Making Babel look like Eden Hazard FFS
Are we playing for a draw
It seems we need to concede a goal before a change.
We are going down without a whimper at this rate.
Bacuna slips at the vital moment
So unlucky
Feckin finally
Ward for Niasse

What has Reid got to do to get a game? It’s almost as if there was a clause that says we pay an extra amount of cash after a set number of games
Pitch invasion if we score in front of our own fans.
Unfortunately we look slightly leggy now and we don't have any real midfield options to bring on.
Hoilett has been utter shite as well
Such a disappointing performance
What has Reid got to do to get a game? It’s almost as if there was a clause that says we pay an extra amount of cash after a set number of games
Very frustrating as he’s looked a lot better than most
Get Reid on, we need to go for it
Ffs there’s only one team in this
Well, that's a foul on Healey
Shocking.
Says it all that Cairney sprinted to the ball to get it restarted quickly
Beyond farcical at this point

We deserved it as well been absolutely shocking its Fulham who have looked like the side fighting to stay up

shoot at posts = goal! try it ffs
And now we actually start attacking
Shocking.

The 11 players on the pitch would finish in the bottom half of the Championship next year

rhys ****ing healey coming on when we need a goal sums this up. why hasn't reid come on?
The 11 players on the pitch would finish in the bottom half of the Championship next year
We've brought on Rhys Healey to save our season FFS
Says it all
Song from the crowd "you Jack bastards we're coming for you" :hehe:
One coming on too!

Bringing Reid on only because Gunnarsson couldn't carry on.

I know what he's done for us, but I don't think I want Warnock with us next season. It'll just be "same shit, different day".
Warnock has ****ed it for us today
FFS. Reid has looked better than Niasse in a single attack.
Llandaff Blue
27-04-19, 15:55
warnock needs to walk after united, the set up today has been embarrassing, the fact we are now playing after going 1 down is infuriating
wow just wow... in a game that you have to go ALL out for... we fluffed it, even if we equalize now... we should have gone at this game in a blaze, attack attack attack and lost 4-3
its always the late late show
Poor set up, poor mentality and poor quality. Last one I can accept but we just haven't even looked like we were up for this today. As good as we were at Brighton we have been poor today.
Don't understand the Reid thing at all, he has probably been our most effective attacker given his limited minutes.
Fulham were there for the ****ing taking
Disgraceful performance
We are down after that performance
Llandaff Blue
27-04-19, 16:00
sean ****ing morrison
Let’s be honest Neil has made questionable calls all season with substitutes, and selections especially when it comes to Bobby Reid.
Today, it’s killed us, Fulham were there for the taking. I don’t think he’s the man to lead us next year.
And we batter them when we actually attack
Warnock has completely bottled it
Divine Wright
27-04-19, 16:01
Lacked quality generally and in key moments.
Team has always been a bit out of it’s depth at this level and being able to go into the last three games with a faint hope of survival is probably an overachievement in itself.
Can’t ask for more really.
Morrison again :facepalm:
NW got it very wrong today. Forced changes and we actually looked a threat.
Rock_Flock_of_Five
27-04-19, 16:01
We got what we deserved from that game... absolutely feck all!
No ambition for the best part of the game.
Warnock has to take the responsibility for today ****ing disgraceful
Bacuna is nowhere near good enough to be starting in a Premier League game

On a multiple year deal!!!

Not even a good Championship side either
I think that’s about it. No disaster being relegated. The Championship is a proper division where you know you always have a chance to do well.
It was never going to be your season when you lose your record signing in such appalling circumstances. Some of the ridiculous refereeing decisions haven’t helped either.
Chins up guys. You will bounce back from this.
Cretin Hop
27-04-19, 16:06
If he thought a point here 0-0 and a win v Palace would be enough is naive. Preferred to have lost 5-4 than that. Saying that how unlucky were we not to score - or clumsy?
6-3-1 in a defensive shape. Just not good enough really.
Must wins against Palace and Man Utd. We’ll be lucky to get a point from both.
If Niasse starts against Palace I'll lose it
Better to lose 3-0 going gung ho than do what we just did
Over the season I can't fault the squad or staff really. But today was a chance we really didn't take and I feel the squad and coaching staff will have a lot of regrets that we didn't approach the match differently. Ultimately we seemed happy with a point, which I just didn't understand.
Appalling tactics to only go for it when losing.
That's not tactics, it's desperation.

Agreed.
We deserve to be relegated for bringing on Healey to replace Camarasa.

I was amazed you signed him. He was at best average for us in the Championship so there was no way he was ever going to be good enough in the PL
Hello Manish, goodbye Gary!

I get it was going to be a tough Jan after the Sala incident, but Bacuna on a 4(?) year deal is just embarrassing, I said at the time too.
It was as if at that moment we were preparing for the Championship
I assumed we had signed bacuna at rb cover. Not sure he has ever played there for us though. 4 years was weird whoever it is.

27-04-19, 16:12
Smithies, Bamba, Arter, Ralls, Paterson, Zohore, Josh Murphy all missing from a squad which I'd say was mid table Championship in standard. My mood changed completely when I saw our subs bench especially and I can only assume that the last two players I named were injured, otherwise their absence makes no sense. However, there's no excuse I can think of for the failure to get the most likely player on it to get us a goal on until the match was virtually over - truly baffling.

Bacuna is nowhere near good enough to be starting in a Premier League game
He’s not good enough to start in the championship and yet he had 4 years remaining on his deal too. Crazy.
Giving deals out like that we’ll end up with Russell Slade in again to clear the decks!

Why is Bacuna being singled out? We needed to go for it and our forward players were lacking once more. No-one seems to know what the other is going to do next on the rare occasion we attack.

Bacuna was far from our worst performer today.

I'm feeling the same way. He just sets up not to concede and then hopes that we might snatch a goal from a set-piece.

27-04-19, 16:19
As usual, commiserations to the valiant away fans travelling all that way to watch that lot. Seems like City could have won it in injury time according to the Radio London commentary. Too little, too late.

If Josh Murphy and Zohore are injured, then every fit player in the first-team squad either started or was a substitute today.

Didn't see or hear the game stayed away from it on purpose.
Got back to the car, the reviews were so consistent, Cardiff played "for a draw" "with the handbrake on" "negatively", each pundit said the same, that City didn't start to play until Fulham scored.
