PBP: Dempsey vs Friedel (no Bradley or Lichaj): Aston Villa vs Fulham 5 Feb 2011 18:00

Bringing Mike Bradley to "family fun day" seems like a horrible idea.



"How's it going, kid?"

 

Petrov with a red card worthy challenge on Sidwell. Only gets yellow.

It was Mastroeni-like.

 

Dempsey 2-2!

 

DEEEMPSEEYYYY!!!!!

2 all!

 

Clint!

 

He's anonymous until he's not!

 

Yup!

 

Dempsey with another header off a corner kick for the goal. Commentator's think Friedel should have come out, I don't know though.

Makoun yellow card for a foul on Dempsey.

 

notches another one

 

He did come out, but didn't get the ball. Friedel has had a bad day.

 

I thought they were saying he should have grabbed it because he came out.

 

Apologies for my blindness.

 

Good equalizer by Dempsey.

 

Sloppy backpass from Dempsey gives away a corner. Hopefully nothing comes from it.

 

Corner is cleared. Back and forth and Baird earns a yellow for a hard foul on Ashley Young.

 

Fulham on the break, excellent save by Friedel to deny AJ. Corner.

 

I know this is a gameday thread, and the following comment is superflous, but, Clint Dempsey is just a BAMF. I mean, HS! F!

He can't be stopped!

 

For those not watching FSC. Might want to flip it on for a moment.

 

Baird almost with a stunning volley winner that goes just wide.

 

FT: Aston Villa 2-2 Fulham. Dempsey with the goal.

Fulham did its part for Bradley by repeatedly overrunning Petrov and Makoun. No help for Lichaj or Friedel though, but maybe Guzan?

 

anybody got the highlight of the goal everytime i dont watch a Fulham game Dempsey scores

 

Dempsey's either tied for 7th or 8th on the Premier League goalscoring chart, depending on the source (soccernet has Drogba with 9 goals, the Premier League website has him with 10).

 

yes he SLAMS home the header and then later after a challenge from Petrov he stares him down over and over again ....

he just does not back down one inch ....

got to love him ....

and he scores over Friedel ... Ami on Ami and Clintinho wins the header over Big Bad Brad Friedel ....
