Comments on: How to beat Fulham (the longer answer than ‘score more goals’)) http://salutsunderland.FootballUNITED.com/2009/12/how-to-beat-fulham/ For and by fans of Sunderland AFC Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:29:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://golbox.com?v=3.2.1 By: FFC Fan http://salutsunderland.FootballUNITED.com/2009/12/how-to-beat-fulham/comment-page-1/#comment-3248 FFC Fan Sat, 05 Dec 2009 08:19:09 +0000 http://salutsunderland.com/?p=5083#comment-3248 Interesting read and many valid points. That being said though there's a lot you'll have missed due to not being at the Cottage constantly. I thought we played alright and there's a lot of things which can go either way come sunday... Murphy is coming back from injury along with Zamora (who both didn't play against Bolton), whilst our back 4 has seen better times than it's seeing at the moment. It'll all depend on the opening stages. Under Hodgson and with Duff in the team we're starting to creat a lot more clear cut chances nowadays and it's all upto who's up front and what mood they're in. Zamora yes has had his critics but that being said and also the fact that he should score more then he does he's arguably been our best player this season and has already scored more goals and has more confidence up front than at any point last season. Dempsey is coming into form with 5 goals from last 6 games and if Zamora and Nevland start up front you can almost guarentee your defence will be tested - especially with Duff added into the fray. I also have to mention a word or two about Sunderland - i've been impressed - Keane has brought you from a yo -yo club to a club that is now stable and on an upwards spiral. The aquisitions of former Fulham favourite Malbranque along with the likes of Jones, Turner , Bent and Cana, will get most top teams thinking, whilst I believe Fulham are lucky to be facing you without Cattermole a player I rate highly and who's partnership with Cana was starting to impress. In my honest and humble opinion I think pound for pound (apart from maybe the defence) you have arguably the better team. Midfield and attack are going to be the real difference on Sunday and although I hope we get the three points I also am expecting a close and good game at the cottage. Anyway there it is a pretty incoherent message but you get the jist - it's early for me and I feel like on a weekend one can be excused for ramblings. lol. Interesting read and many valid points.

They battered Bolton in the second half who scored from their only real chance except the late header. From what iv'e seen of Fulham, Murphy really makes them tick so he is a real bonus for them. However we can win, but i'd take a point. I was at that game as well with an FFC mate and even though he was trying to persuade me they deserved to win, it didn;t take much effort.
