Relieved with getting away with a 1-1 draw at Swansea City who were lappimg up the praise that their play deserved on a great day at the stadium.<\/p>\n
Fulham were left chasing shadows as Swansea’s almost unique brand of football won them plaudits with many nodding in agreement that they belong in the Premier League.\u00a0 And the higher ends of that as it is.<\/p>\n
And Fulham and Wales man Davies was one of those people as he said after the match \u201cIt was a tough game for us but we knew that before, because we knew how much possession Swansea get at the Liberty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe gave them the respect they deserved all week \u2013 watching the videos and seeing the way they play we knew how difficult it would be.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve seen them on TV a few times and I know a lot of people who see them regularly, so I knew how tough it would be.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way they play it\u2019s almost like Barcelona, utilising the wide players very wide when we play with a narrow four to try and keep it tight.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that would always make it difficult for us and we were hoping to perhaps nick something on the break.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s such a big pitch. It\u2019s so difficult to get on the ball and we have to be happy to take the draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we can look forward to trying to get the win in the replay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
