Dempsey: Fulham vs Newcastle, 2/2 @ 3PM EST

Duff has looked like the Duff of old the past month or so.

They've really got to do something about Gutierrez's service, though. It's only a matter of time if he keeps putting opportunities on a platter like that.

They just showed possession statistics for the 2nd half. It was 88% to 12% in Fulham's favor. Commentators speculating that it must be an error.

Dembele crosses and Kakuta fires straight at Harper with the goal gaping.

And now Ranger with a great chance in the 6 yard box saved by Schwarzer.

Not impressed with Kakuta today at all. His touch is horrific.

Has he even been on 10 minutes?

Dempsey put through by Kakuta and denied. Should have scored.

Harper made the save when Dempsey was in alone.

Demspey played WIDE through but saved...

Damn, Dempsey has been so close so many times again. He missed the chip on the 1 on 1 after the through ball from Kakuta.

Every touch prior to that through ball was awful.

The point stands. He's been on 10 minutes. Seems to me I'd like to wait a bit longer before concluding his touch is horrific.

And now Kakuta wastes a chance created by Dempsey. He should have scored.

Second opportunity begun by a Kukuta through-ball to Dempsey.

My point stands, as well. I have not been impressed. His touch has been awful.

I have a bad feeling about this...all these missed chances, last minute Newcastle free kick...

They've got to bring the finishing boots, but otherwise well-done.

FT at 1-0. Big 3 points for Fulham. Have to take care of business at home.

Just remember: Hughes sucks and Hodgson is a much, MUCH better manager

Decent performance from Fulham. Much better second half and they deserved the three points. Very impressed with Dembele. He created so many of Fulham's chances. Hopefully he can stay healthy for the rest of the season.

Clint's just so fun to watch, amazing couple of games but unfortunately no goals to show for.

it was a tough angle, keeper came out strong...usually he scores that.
