Friends of Fulham

Judging by the BBC and Fulham on Twitter, the Moose had a good game.

Has to be Dempsey or Diarra. Diarra just shades it for me.

Only saw the second half, but Dembele looked like he was from a different planet.  Nobody could touch him without fouling him.  Brilliant runs.  Great shots. Pure class. A joy to watch.
Nogood "not seen many like him, itis" Boyo

I am going for my compatriot too. It was an "emotional" game for all Belgophiles: Belgian attacker vs. Belgian goalkeeper. Moussa had three good opportunities and scored 1.

I'm going for Murphy,the guy has been such a huge part of our success in the last 4 years,I just hope when he waved to the Hammy End it wasn't a good bye.

Mouuuuussssaaaaaaa

There were some strong performances today. Diarra, the Pog, Murph, Dempsey, Duff... But it was Moussa for me - looked dangerous every time he got the ball.

I've gone for Diarra over Dembele because he was so important to us not conceding. He won the midfield battle for us and from his interceptions we built our attacks.
Whilst Dembele had a fabulous game I feel Diarra's contribution was more important.

Agreed. Same man I've gone for. In a game where really everyone excelled, Diarra's composure, passing range, stamina and willingness to go from box to box was a cut above today.

Diarra for me, he was immense for us today and I hope we are offering him at least a 2 year contract with an option for another year as I fear if we sign him for just a year he will be snapped up in January next year by one of the top 6

what a brilliant signing diarra has been for us, was saying when we signed him that its fantastic business. hope we sign him on a permanent basis.

Kelly was excellent again, Clint my MOTM though.

We will be top 6 in Jan next year  098.gif :wine:

But yes, get him signed up. What he has doesn't diminish with age as much as players who rely on speed. He is quite possibly the best all round midfielder I've seen at Fulham.

I think we'll give him at least 2 years. We wanted to see if he was fit enough and he is. Hopefully he will want to stay.
Rather ironically the player he most reminds me of is Michael Essien, a player who used to play alongside at Lyon.

Can't believe no one signed him before us. He's been outstanding recently. He is exactly what we've needed for years.

I think you're right. If he can keep this consistency and chip in with a few more goals and assists he will be one hell of a player.

I gave my vote to Moussa ... vainly hoping he'll be with us next season.

A few to choose from , but I'll go for Damien Duff. Those old legs keep going.

Diarra..  breaks up loads of attacks in midfield....  gets better every game   :clap_hands:

Diarra for me out from a team of all stars today

I've gone for Moussa, but could just as easily been Mohammadou who I think is absolutely top quality and will be an important player to be signed up for next season.  This we have an option - certainly need to exercise it!

I was really impressed with Moussa today, so he wins my vote. Diarra would have been a clear-cut winner had he not been caught in possession a few times. But all said, Moussa had a very smooth all-round performance, the goal was simply a bonus on top of his beautiful link up play with Danny and Clint on par with his defensive covering. A healthy performance to say the least.

Moussa just shades it over Diarra for me but I was very impressed with Diarra. Breaking up play, forward runs, the odd trick AND he won loads in the air.
Still Moussa though, a pleasure to watch!!

The Moose for me...a joy to watch...

There were several notable performances, but the man who kept catching my eye was Mahamdou Diarra. I really hope we can keep him. I love the way our team plays with Diarra, Murphy, and Dembele in central mid.
