It was a very poor Fulham performance. Duff got virtually no service either from midfield or from LB Konchesky. Ballack dominated the entire game although Damien did manage Fulham's only shot on target , more of a 20-yard backpass really. Lots of hands-on-hips as well. Next up is Villa , whose RB doesn't look in the same class as Bosingwa.
One couldn't expect a good performance when playing Chelsea to be fair :oQuote:

Fulham are into the groups. Good stuff.
Bjorn Helge Riise launches attack on Fulham team-mate Damien Duff... training next week should be interesting.

Speed and a good shot? What player is he watching?
tosser
should be dumped into the reserves for a while, let him rot there see how good he is.
If this is true then it would be better if footballers did their talking on the pitch with their feet and the rest of their bodies.Quote:

A better touch than Damien Duff? haha it shows you all he knows about Duff tbh.
not exactly how I would go about settling my way into a new squad!
Is he in the squad tonight?
That doesn't make any sense. He praised Duff's speed and shooting which are probably his two weakest aspects and criticised his strongest skills in his touch and technique? :confused:
on page 2, he's praising Stephen Ireland for his commitment and thinks Shay Given is too short to be any good. lol
Coming from a player who never appeared in a World Cup or won a premier league. Bjorn should just keep his mouth shut and show how good he is on the pitch nevermind bragging about himself.Quote:

In fairness, he has denied making these comments, so let's wait to see all the facts before we start having him train with the reserves!
super goal from the Duff man.
Great finish alright, just picked a knee injury now, hopefully nothing more than a knock.
Seemed ok at the end, not even a limp.
My missus said earlier this afternoon that Duff had no shot on him about, oooh, ten seconds before he lashed the winner from twenty-five yards out! :DQuote:

I did nearly have a heart attack when he went down injured.
Same, duffer is indispensable to us at this stage of the campaign.
Hope those that were saying that he is passed it and doesnt deserve his place in the Ireland team are starting to reconsider their opinion

That was a LOI supporter, dont include them, htey have a deluded sense of reality ;)
