Someone needs to photoshop Moyes in there and the word "cross"

Much better. Composed in possession and varying our approach instead of frantically getting it out to the wings. Not much cutting edge and some of our passing leaves a lot to be desired, but certainly an improvement. Under many circumstances I'd consider this good, and if it ended this way a good point. Need those wins though.
First thought from midfielders is still to get it out wide to Valencia who has been average going forwards.Plus, way too many long balls from the back, especially from the defenders. 2 midfielders need to find space better and get a grip on the midfield.

Like that we are pressing up higher.
 
Nice little 1-2 but Holtby scuffed the shot. Fulham really need to get another before HT if they want to have any hope of winning. No way they keep Liverpool off the board the whole game.

Yeah, far too many long balls from Smalling in particular, but we aren't looking afraid to turn around and pass until something presents itself instead of just going out wide. Not that there isn't anything wrong with going out wide here; Arsenal play narrowly enough that this is the time to overlap onto the wings, not when Fulham are heading away everything and no one is changing a thing. It's all about opposition and variation.
 
We are so poor at breaking down a deep back four. Conceding early didn't help because it just meant that Fulham could afford to sit even deeper.
 
We're playing ok but we still don't look like scoring tbh. A couple of nice touches from Mata but there's no real link up with our front three. It's very disappointing to see.

Looks more like we've set up not to lose rather than win.
