Jol hopes to 'ask questions' of City

by Setanta Staff , 04 February 2012

Fulham manager Martin Jol believes that his side can frustrate league leaders Manchester City on Saturday evening.


The west Londoners face the unenviable task of trying to become the first side to take points away from the Etihad Stadium this season.

City have won all 11 home league matches and scored 34 goals in the process, although Fulham can be buoyed by the fact they were the first team to prevent the Citizens from winning this season.

The 2-2 draw back in mid-September ended Roberto Mancini's perfect start, and and Jol believes that bhis side have it within themselves to ask questions of the Premier League's table-toppers.

"I am not sure what we can do differently to those 11 sides that have lost because there were quite a few good teams going over there," the Dutchman said. "Of course away from home they are good, but they are even better at home. We have to find a solution to give them a few questions.

"We did that in the second half at Craven Cottage, but in the first half [Sergio] Aguero and [David] Silva were a handful.

"If you remember, the manager took them off and we scored our two goals and could have even scored a winner after that.

"We took the first points off them and of course they have had a few disappointing matches, like Everton.

"We hope to do the same away from home.

"Every game is different."
