Staying Power

Following Fulham's victory over Spurs last weekend Paul Konchesky stated that Roy Hodgson's side have the strength in depth to remain in the top half of the Premier League table this season.

"The fans got right behind us against Spurs and being a London derby it was a great win for us," Konchesky explained. "The last two home wins have given us a great lift as a Club, especially with how tight the league is this season. We're looking at the league table and looking up instead of down.

"We've been playing well, especially at home. It's very hard for teams to beat us at Craven Cottage and we've only lost one at home all season. Beating Spurs gave us a great boost ahead of Saturday's game against Liverpool.

"This Club doesn't want to be, or deserve to be, in the bottom half of the table and the players we've got here can prove that this season and if we keep going I think we can remain a top ten team.

"The side's been quite settled and we've gelled together but if we have injuries there are players who can come in and are good enough to keep us in the top half of the table.

"The Manager now has two players good enough to play in every position so if there are injuries he's got players who can come in. There are players who were not even involved in the squad last weekend that can come in and do a job for the team. Hopefully that will keep pushing everyone throughout the season."
