Following Fulham‘s comprehensive victory in the first leg of the Europa League first round qualifier against Nes Soknar Itrottarfelag, manager Martin Jol has insisted that the job isn’t done yet.
The Dutchman doesn’t want his players to become too complacement after a 3-0 win at Craven Cottage, and wants his team to finish the job off in the second leg next week in the Faroe Islands.
He told reporters: “If I say it is job done, you will tell everyone I said the job was done so I will say it’s a good score.
“We started off brightly the first five minutes and then it was difficult to find the spare man up front.
“The second half was better. If there was no possibility to play it up to Andy Johnson or Bobby Zamora you have to play down the flanks and the second half was better.”
Goals from Damien Duff, Johnson and Murhy means that the Cottagers take a three-goal advantage to the Faroe Islands.
With that advantage in mind, and with his first team players not yet up to match fitness, Jol hinted he might use the opportunity to blood some of the younger members of the squad.
He added: “Bobby Zamora is fit but, of course, he is not completely fit.
“But I think 80 per cent of the players are not completely fit.
“But to be match fit now it will take a couple more weeks. It is possible that we may use some youngsters for the second leg.”
