The second Fulham goal...

[Paul Marin]

I saw something in the replay tonight that I didn't notice the first time on the second goal by Fulham. Evra lost the ball in midfield creating a 3 on 2 break. Now because he lost the ball, you would have thought that he would have beaten back towards his goal to provide reinforcement to Rio and Evans. But he didn't. He looked like he was out for a Sunday jog. Granted it was late in the game, but still surprising to me.

This is not something you would have seen from them even a few weeks ago. The video link to both goals are here; see if you see what I am saying or if it is my imagination. Go to minute 1:14 for the start of the second goal.

PM, Remember they were playing with two men short.

Evra who is normally a work horse was competely spent at that stage of the game.

I thought you were going to talk about the quality of the goal. It was a lovely one!! ( It was against your team so you could not have enjoyed it )

AGAINST MY TEAM!!?? No sah, me don't support those poser reds, me support the MIGHTY REDS OF ANFIELD!! I hear you on the disparity in numbers, but I think Rooney had only been sent off in the 81st minute, so it wasn't as if he was working a full 45 two men down. Even so, I find it hard to believe when I watched again that he would not have worked harder after he lost the ball. Tired or mentally drained I think.

I finally got the chane to watch the EPL Review last night and here are my observations:

1. Sorry Mr. President, but Rooney deserves the red card. No arguments.
2. The second goal against the Empire should not have been allowed because Fulham committed a foul against Evra to win the ball in the midfield. The Fulham player's foot was too high and should have been deemed dangerous play. Whomever wants to dispute that should go back and watch the build up play.
3. Brad Friedel should not have gotten that red card. As a matter of fact, it should not have been called a foul. Torres lost the ball and ran into Brad. The play should have continued. No foul.
4. Ricardo Fuller is a top class player. The commentators constantly showers him with praise in every game. He is the difference in Stoke's frontline.

Karl, this is another one of those rare occasions when I agree with you. Torres lost the ball before he go to Friedel then ran him over. The collison was unavoidable because the defender blocked Torres route to go around Friedel. They all need to go back and watch the tape.

We actually agree more than we disagree...but you focus on the disagreements!
Respek!
