Fulham FC Vs. Liverpool FC: Danny Murphy Wastes Free Kick, Glen Johnson Shot Tipped Over

After that period of intense Liverpool pressure, Fulham have settled down again, although they won't do much damage unless they do more with their chances. A clever backheel by Moussa Dembele forced Christian Poulsen to bring down Danny Murphy in a dangerous position, but the subsequent free kick left rather a lot to be desired - Murphy's delivery looped over a stunned Liverpool defence but also left Fulham's attacked rather perplexed, and an interesting opportunity ended up being nothing more than a goal kick for Pepe Reina.

Right now, both sides are having major difficulty dispossessing one another. When one team gets the ball, they tend to keep it for a while, which is leading to pretty football patterns but also solid, organised defending. The vast majority of Liverpool's shots are coming from range right now - a mercifully shaven-headed Glen Johnson has just had a shot tipped over the bar by David Stockdale from outside the box, and they'll need to do a little more work to penetrate a well-drilled Fulham back line.
