Swansea are very very unlucky not to be ahead by a goal or two.. Fulham are playing long-ball without a target forward, you do the math. Swansea play very attractive football for a CCC team, some of their players are just lacking that little bit of polish/skill/or speed..
Fulham could really use a sparkplug in the midfield.. I'm thinking Bullard more than Dempsey.. Dacourt and Murphy must be the slowest CM pairing- but it's not like Fulham use their midfield anyway..
The Setanta commentator notes that Dempsey is a two time cup loser (both in MLS Cup with New England). Good research there.
This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen Stoor (RB) and he's been the worst player on the pitch every time..
yeah, pretty rough crowd. i'll take it but, shit, why is the home form so poor every year? regardless of coach.
