Fulham fazed as Chelsea thrive on Forssell authentic canada goose jacket sale fuel
Claudio Ranieri has taken some stick this season for his choice of substitutions; they can seem as abstruse as his post-match press conferences. But last night Mikael Forssell, who has made a habit of coming off the bench to score, did so best replica canada goose jacket again sale – for the eighth time this season – this one a winner. He is, said his manager with a relieved sweep of the arm and a happy lift of the brow, “a good, good player. He has everything he needs to go forward.”
Perhaps it was down to the glare of the brand-new turf – “Fantastic!” adjudged Ranieri with a wild bellow – but both sides came out looking as though they had been kept waiting, revving up, for long enough and were now impatient to see green.
The pace was furious from the start. Barely two minutes had passed when Marcel Desailly was watching his toed shot edge past Edwin van der Sar’s post. Before five had elapsed, Abdeslam Ouaddou was rising at the other end to meet a Steed Malbranque corner, his header wobbling under the bar before plopping down and out.
Chelsea and Fulham have in common early-season statements of ambition and, while Chelsea seem fatefully coupled with the epithet “underachieving”, Fulham have probably been guilty of a little over-aspiring. Last night the two seemed to meet somewhere in the middle.
Given average cost canada goose jacket the closeness of the encounter it seemed only right that seconds after Mario Melchiot sent his long-range shot bobbling through the Fulham defence to give Chelsea the lead, the referee was pointing firmly to the spot in front of Carlo Cudicini’s goal. William Gallas had brought down Louis Saha in the box; an invading fan had been escorted away, Cudicini went to the buy canada goose jacket cheap right, Saha to the left canada goose coat $5000 no credit check signature loans and all was level.
If Fulham had taken their chances, the result might bu sees a spike in canada goose jacket thefts have black canada goose parka been different. But best mens canada goose parka when Eidur Gudjohnsen found himself bearing down on Van der Sar from 15 yards out, the combination of space and opportunity proved irresistible.
Had either Saha or Steve Marlet managed to reach the same conclusion from equally promising premises towards the end of the first half, Fulham might have taken the share they deserved from this game. “I think we were worth a minimum of one point,” nodded Jean Tigana, apparently unperturbed by his side’s fourth consecutive defeat, the worst best canada goose jacket womens run since his accession as manager. “But it is not a problem. We played really well. All the time we create chances away from home but we need to score. We need to learn, we need to progress.”
At least he now knows that Saha, who threw his head into the aerial space fast being occupied by canada goose coat 1000 calorie meal plans Desailly’s foot for Fulham’s second, is capable of finding the target. When these two teams met in September in their much hailed first derby in 16 years, there was plenty of good-looking football but not enough plain finishing. Last night the intentions on both sides were clearer, the execution messier.
As Ranieri, whose analysis sounded more than ever as though it had been scripted by Fellini, said: “The truth is always in the middle.”
