Still doesn't explain why Fulham were fresher when they were chasing more.
To be clear, subs thing apart, the fitness thing is not a criticism more an observation.
I would highlight March, Baldock, KLL, Stephens (ill) and Kayal as tiring the most.
Although they put in a lot of work, it doesn't really explain it, as arguably Fulham chased the ball for 40 mins non-stop in the first half and that is a lot harder, yet they did seem fitter and lasted longer...
We just got overran in midfield as Kayal and Stephens started to tire, added to that both March and Kaz were spent at about 60 mins, we started to drop deeper and invite pressure on. As soon as Baldock (who was also knackered went off) and Ince came on we started getting on the ball again, and...
I'm glad you put this, because when I saw 'erratic' I was staggered, I can only assume the poster doesn't like Bruno........ At least it wasn't Piltdown......
Uwe just steady throughout, not ever so pact but his reading of the game is great, and the fact he linked so well with Greer after 3 days training speaks volumes for both players.
Bong is just incredible, yet to see him lose a 1 v 1 situation, did get a little isolated in the 2nd half, but...
On way home. Great game, away support magnificent.
Stockdale - 8 - great save at 1-1.
Bruno. - 9 - all the defence were excellent but extra point for pass to Baldock.
Greer - 8
Hunnemeier - 8
Bong - 8
Stephens - 7 - impressive first half sloppy second
Kayal - 7 - as above
KLL - 7 - not enough...
