Since I missed out, here’s a quick weekend recap: We kicked Tottenham’s ass in the FA Cup and we picked up an over the hill Icelandic striker as the transfer window closed shut. Thankfully, I got my internet back up and running in time to watch Fulham this afternoon and obviously, I’m thrilled with the outcome.
After a scrappy, yet scoreless first half, I had a feeling we were in for a 0-0 draw. However, thanks to Damien Duff, we earned 3 valuable points and a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United. In the 67th minute, Danny Murphy lofted a gem of a pass over the head of Jose Enrique, finding Duff who made a splendid run. Duff then fired a shot past Steve Harper, sending the Cottage supporters into a frenzy and lifting a giant monkey off the shoulders of our Irish midfielder.
Our boys played well the entire match, but I felt we shined in the second half. Our back four played very well, Mark Schwarzer showed now signs of jet lag guarding the net, Steve Sidwell & Danny Murphy played well in the middle & Clint Dempsey, Moussa Dembele & Andy Johnson looked threatening up front. However, most encouraging to me was the play of Gael Kakuta, who is on loan for the remainder of the season from Chelsea. Kakuta replaced Andy Johnson around the 70th minute and nearly scored his first Fulham goal shortly after. He was very active and didn’t seem lost at all, which is sometimes the case with a new player. Look for the kid to log more minutes on Saturday.
Fulham are now 12th in the table with 29 points. Considering where we were like a month ago, trust me, I’ll take this. We got a rough stretch ahead, starting with our trip to Villa Park on Saturday, but if we continue to play at the high level we are currently playing at, don’t be shocked if we nick another 3 points on the road this weekend.
