Manager Martin Jol has stated that the pressure will be off his Team as they bid to break the Club’s record points tally in the Barclays Premier League against Spurs at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Fulham will however be without leading scorer Clint Dempsey this weekend, who misses out through injury, but Jol is confident his Team can end the season in winning fashion.

“I want to get the three points on Sunday,” Jol told the assembled media at Motspur Park on Friday afternoon. “There’s no pressure on us this weekend and hopefully we’ll enjoy the game.

“We’ve had a good season but our final league position is not in our own hands on Sunday. The only thing which is in our own hands is to go out and get a good result against Spurs.

"We wanted to finish in the top 10 this season and we’re now in a fine position. It would be marvellous to get another three points on Sunday and finish the season on 55 points.

“We’re the top team in the London derby games which is a good statistic. Spurs are the only team to have beaten us and we deserved more from that game at Craven Cottage. I think we were the better team but they had four attempts on goal and scored three goals. That is efficiency and they’re a very good football team.”
Joining Clint Dempsey on the sidelines is midfielder Dickson Etuhu, whilst Alex Kacaniklic is also a doubt for Sunday's match at White Hart Lane.

“Clint is injured so he won’t play on Sunday,” confirmed Jol. “He’s got a problem with his left abductor so he won’t be involved.

“Dickson Etuhu also has a problem with his right knee so he won’t be available. Alex Kacaniklic is a doubt as he dropped out of training on Friday with a little problem with his hamstring.”

Also Szczesny is a doubt for Arsenal

[steventhfc]

bmj is throwing the game. Nice lad.

 

[Super Tottenham]

Has Dempsey been sold already do you think?

 

[lillywhites61]

That is very good news for us. But we counter that with our lack of a left back.

Good news... until his replacement bangs in a hat-trick

 

[felmani26]

Keep on feeding them the lasagne big man!

 

[Yid121]

Anyone know will replace him? Frei right? (johnson, ruiz, Kacaniklic) all injured

 

[Kingstheman]

Time to go out and wallop these.

Then hope the dominoes begin to fall.

good news, see that Fulham are 2nd in the form table... (last 6 matches)

still got tidy players though, but our Midfield of Sandro/Parker/Modric should boss Murphy/Diarra and Dembele (although he may move further forward with Dempsey out)

 

[EastLondonYid]

Obviously better he isn't playing as he is a real threat, but i won't get too excited about that news as i can recall many games in the past when our opponents were missing a key player only for us to fail to take advantage, the worse was a few seasons ago when Liverpool were missing 3 or 4 key players and we still got done at Anfield by Kuyt i think. And also this season when City were missing Kompany and we still lost comes to mind, lets worry about how WE play and then we will be ok.

If that's what they're going with then we HAVE to play two of Sandro/Parker/Livermore.

That's my worry. His replacement playing a blinder

 

[jbstarr14]

Levy: Hello Mo. I want Dempsey. £20m sound good?
Al Fayed: Sold!
Levy: Just one thing - he can't play against us on the last day, okay?
Al Fayed: Hmmmm....... okay.
Levy: Great. See you Sunday then.
*click*
Levy: *with little finger to corner of mouth* MWAH HAHA! MWAH HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Frei has looked really good though...
