On the replay it looked like EJ just let Salcido's cross go right past him. The guy is such a baffling combination of strength, speed and timidity.
he is not very fast on a soccer field. There is fast running and then there is soccer fast. I think Eddie's lack of confidence with the ball makes him play slower than you would expect from his foot speed.
Workman like effort from EJ. Nothing spectacular but decent shift IMO. Hopefully Dempsey can grab another.
Clint must've taken a helluva hit to the side of his head. It's like a baseball hanging off his face.
I can see why you might say that, although EJ became more inclined to use his speed later in the game. He just seems generally to hesitate (which I know is not an original observation on my part). It really mutes the impact he could have on the game.
Re: Dempsey, EJ: West Ham vs. Fulham October 2, 2010, 10:00 ET This pretty much sums up EJ's afternoon.
I have a feeling, if Dembele's not healthy by the next game, he'll get another start, Kamara has been INVINCIBLE. Kamara misses a great chance to make it 2-1. Great through ball by Dempsey.
