Aaron Hughes spoke of the positives to be taken from Fulham’s draw with Everton when he spoke exclusively to fulhamfc.com after Saturday’s encounter at the Cottage.
“It was always going to be a close game because Everton are a very good side. They’re in a false position," Hughes told fulhamfc.com.
"They work hard and they’ve got some good players and no matter how well you play it’s always going to be a tough game. We’ve come away with a clean sheet and a hard earned point which is a positive for us.
“At half-time, when we went in, we were disappointed with the first half. In the second half we came out and had a real go at it and caused them a few more problems.
“When everything comes together, which it has done in a few of the games we’ve played this season, we do look a good side. It’s still reasonably early days but at the same time we’re not losing games and we remain unbeaten.”
Fulham’s defence recorded a clean sheet against David Moyes’ side and whilst Fulham’s starting eleven has retained a familiar look to last season, Hughes has been impressed by the quality of the players Mark Hughes has brought to the Club this summer.
“There are certain things in the Team which have changed but it’s more or less the same players. The guys that have come in have slotted in really well.
“Carlos [Salcido] is new to the side and has slotted in really well which shows the quality of the player. The games he’s played in have been tough games – Blackburn away and Stoke away. I felt today was another accomplished performance from him.
“He looks another really good buy for us as does Rafik [Halliche] who played a few minutes on Tuesday night and looks really good in training. Obviously Mousa’s injured at the moment but everyone’s seen what he’s produced over the last few weeks.”
