Fulham (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Put the i-Thingy on random after the game and looking on here at everyone's comments..

First track up was Jackson Browne's 'Running On Empty'.. yup, that sums the second half up after the demanding week the lads have had!

Great result, well done boys.. rest up and let's move on to the next game. C'mon you Blues!

I think we're all agreed, three points is all that matters, but that's true all season in my opinion.

My minor worry is that against a mid-table team who who we would expect to beat almost every time, our defense looked shaky and we created very little. Jack had two good chances, Erling came very close early in the second half, but I can think of few other clear-cut opportunities.

But for the genius of Alvarez that's two points dropped an suddenly doubts start to emerge.

And then on to Kev. Sometimes we play very very well without him, I'm not sure of there is a common theme as to why, but he is arguably the world's best player and his absence today, make no mistake, would have given Fulham a boost. With a two goal cushion and Kev not playing we cruise along nicely, it isn't the same with just a one goal advantage.

Phil looked far hungrier than Riyad, I think he'll start against West Ham.

Let us also not forget though, that our opponents on 45 points at kick off, and still on 45 points, were the epitome of a team with absolutely nothing to play for. That makes the game 10% easier.
People always say it’ll be easier ‘teams have nothing to play for’ except they do as they have the opportunity to beat the champions, impact the title race or potentially european qualification etc. against other teams so I always find it an odd statement.

They certainly didn’t look like a team that had nothing to play for and these are the kind of wins that can mean just as much as Wednesday come the end of the season.
 
Hard fought win and massive 3 points.
Dont expect to play exciting game every week. Well done boys.
