What was the key moment that decided the Fulham vs Manchester United draw?
This is the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. Thanks for joining us. The last Premier League game before the international break came from Craven Cottage where Fulham play Manchester United on Super Sunday. This is how we saw things at full time.
An afternoon which particularly for Michael Carrick and Manchester United carried some pretty weighty jeopardy But as it turns out, it is an inconclusive day at the cottage, an outcome that leaves everyone grasping for more. Fulham had the lead through an own goal from Lisandro Martinez soon after the hour, but just before the 19, Mateus Cunha, via a very kind deflection of Affengruber, grabbed a point for Manchester United.
Yeah, it was a game that was a real struggle for both teams. Both teams tentative. Lacking in confidence, lacking in belief, the challenges coming into this game for Arbeloa and Carrick. They do need the international break, they need that three weeks to reset, to regroup, to rebuild and start the seasons again. When you look back at this game, it was poor in stages, there was a lack of quality, but the defensive work from both teams was awful and I have to say lacking in effort at times.
1-1,
probably about right in the end. It would be a relief, Michael Carrick, that goes back to Manchester, having got that goal late on.
And so Fulham still winless in the Premier League. United floating rather in no-man's land. A draw that leaves them both drifting into the international break. It finishes here. Dave, Fulham 1, Manchester United 1.
Yeah, a little puff of the cheeks from Manchester United fans watching on, who, well, they might well have stolen the victory in those closing moments. But Ashley Young? How important could that equalising goal prove to be for Manchester United and for Michael Carrick as well? I think that's massive. We
talked before, the game coming into the international break, how long it's going to be. This result was going to be really important. I think that goal, obviously, you're getting a draw at Fulham. You're going to have to look at it as a good point. But they were too slow. They were walking, they were jogging. There was not enough urgency going on in the game. I think
they were lucky. Down
two, actually. I don't know. Maybe it's a bit of belief. Maybe the players, how the season started, are thinking too much and overthinking. Like we said in the second half, I wanted to see more passes being risked in the final third. It just looked like it was too slow. There were players that were walking, and I'm sure we'll see the stats after the game that... You know, Fulham run much more. Fulham looked like they wanted to go on and win the game. You know, you're seeing the centre-halves, Calvin Bassie, with the goal, he just eases Cunha out of the way. You know, he just gets on the front foot and he looks like he wants to take the game to Manchester United. You know, it's disappointing to see. And I think Michael Carrick will be looking after the game and saying,
you know, we've got to do a lot more. Disappointment as well in the Fulham ranks, and they're just walking around the field now, Louis, saying their thanks to the Fulham fans. Did we see from them as well a little bit of lack of belief when they were trying to protect that lead?
It's, I think, a normal position when you lead. You have a... shaky start in some way you remember that those young players sometimes it's natural approach but I think that they've done enough in some way where we see Bassey on the screen there he wanted to win he has shown some belief and courage so some passes were good but we think that Man United could do more and that was very very slow as Ashley just mentioned so In some way, it's a one point for both and they don't deserve much more. So I don't think that he was entertaining.
Perhaps he did, Leno, make some fantastic saves in the game,
didn't he? But he
could do absolutely nothing about that deflected effort. That sign rewarded with the water bottle. But their wait for a first win will extend into October. Three-week international break, remember now.
