Fulham visited Sunderland's Stadium of
Light for the first time and came away ruing missed chances to take the
full three points. As on previous occasions once the game was in progress
Fulham appeared to be capable of so much more than first imagined but when
called upon we were not able to take the opportunities to finish off the
opposition.
After an early piece of brilliance that resulted in Steed Malbranque putting
the Whites one up Sunderland appeared to be ready to collapse and more goals
for Jean Tigana's squad seemed to be a matter of course. But both Steve
Marlet and Bazza Hayles failed to convert good chances and the longer we
struggled to get our second goal the more Sunderland got back into the game.
Edwin van der Sar proved his worth time and time again keeping the Black
Cats out but with Fulham losing their attacking edge it was only a matter
of time before Phillips got a goal. Once Sunderland were level it was a
brave but desperate rearguard fight by Fulham to keep hold of the one point
they still had. Even though Jean Tigana was disappointed that his squad
did not make sure of the three points he would surely have been glad of
the relief brought by the referees whistle for full time.
Despite the disappointment caused by missed chances it is now clear that
Fulham are capable of knocking on the door of the top four or five places
in the Premiership but at the moment our knock is a bit light.
COME ON YOU WHITES
Other games
Tottenham only managed a 1-1 draw at home to Everton so Super Spurs are
just one point in front of us new boys having played a game more than Fulham.
On Sunday West Ham collapsed 5-1 away at Fulham Broadway after keeping the
halftime score at 1-0 while Leeds and Arsenal played out a 1-1 draw. On
Monday Charlton failed to win at home to Aston Villa so we remain in 9th
place.
