Martin, Why not Jermain?

Grzegorz Rasiak was recalled to the starting line-up last night, which meant a return to bench duty for Jermain Defoe. Supporters waited for 70 minutes until Jol switched back to the pairing of Defoe and Robbie Keane up front.

Jol said: "If Jermain had scored once or twice in our last game against Aston Villa then he would have given me a push. But against Fulham - a team that’s strong and physical - Rasiak gives you a presence."
