    FSC showed Fulham in a weird 4-3-3 with Dempsey on the right side of the midfield 3 with Murphy and Frei.

    The announcer called it a 4-1-4-1 with Dempsey/Dembele ahead of Murphy in midfield.

    Just wondering.. why do they call it Boxing Day when it's only football that seems to be one TV?

    :confused:

    I believe it's a holiday about re-gifting Christmas presents...i.e. boxing them back up.

    Dempsey forces a good save from Cech from about 30 yards. Corner for Fulham.

    Sa skies a header from about 4 yards out, unmarked, should've put that on target.

    actually I think it had to do with metal boxes being placed outside churches hundreds of years ago to collect for the poor.

    Anyhoo, back to the game... how many goals has Dempsey got against Chelsea so far in England? I remember the double a couple of years back @ CC. Has he scored anymore against Chelsea or is that it?

    Great chest trap & Volley by Torres with a man draped all over him, straight at the keeper though. Terrific Skill.

    I think we're both right.

    As far as I can remember, Clint only has the 2 in that one game a few years ago.

    Fulham down 1-0 from a Mata strike. They need to push Dempsey up top, he's their only goal scoring threat.

    Deuce shoots right at Cech after feinting a player to his left from the top of the box.

    Stockdale, Fulham's keeper, has been amazing.

    Clint now has 6 goals and 4 assists through 18 games. If he can keep that pace he'll match his goals from last season and far exceed his assists. He could've had an assist if Fulham had an actual striker playing up front at the end instead of Kasami.
