Something in the Making: Lam Matteo

Pull the Trigger. Matteo had his chance 1v1 against Ashley Cole, dribbled too much and fell down. Something that Matteo is good at is long range shooting - he needs to stick with that just like he did against Hull City last week. This week, Chelsea did not look as powerful, but Drogba alone did. It just wasn't Fulham's day. Tottenham up next.

Matteo to start versus Tottenham
Johnson Peoples (Fulham FC Editor), 05.08.2012

Hard work has paid off for Lam Matteo, finally, his manager sees that and has placed the 26-year old in the starting lineup today against Tottenham at Craven Cottage.

"I think I deserve this," said a gracious Matteo at the pregame festivities, "I've scored a couple of goals this season - but have a lot more in me. I'd like to be a bigger part of Fulham's success from here on out."

Matteo, who has scored 2 goals in 9 matches, has had an up and down stint with injury, but the American striker has no worries about his health.

"Injuries are part of this game, sadly. I've been blessed to have a good recovery ability, so I'm not too bothered. If I do get injured, it just gives me more time to study the match film".

Savior. In a mix of teammates that shouldn't have been on the field in the first place, Matteo stood out as someone who wanted to win. I have to question manager Roy Hodgson's decision to keep Teymourian and Seol Ke Hyeon on the field at the same time - those two do not have enough chemistry, and it could have been much worse. Note that Matteo will miss the next match versus Aston Villa due to yellow card accumulation (3).

Most Impressive Fulham Player. No, he's not Man United caliber just yet, but Mr. Matteo is heating up - 2 for 2 in scoring goals as a starter, that can never hurt. With the closing of the season drawing near, it will be interesting to see how the offers stack up. In the back of my mind though, I'm still thinking about Anderlecht (I'm scarred!). We'll see how Matteo and Fulham can do next week as they host 5th place West Ham.

Bad Coaching. I would say Matteo was the best one on the field for Fulham today, but I'm a bit biased. I will say that manager, Roy Hodgson, made a mistake in playing Matteo alongside Healy - a man who can't seem to pass the ball for the life of him. Well, as for Matteo's goal - it was a thing of pure power. He received a great ball over the top of the defender's heads, collected it - and BAM! bottom corner. Thing of beauty that made no dent in the already unsurmountable lead of West Ham. With three matches remaining, Matteo is going to have to sum up all his willpower to help Fulham get out of this current rut they are in.

Played like a 4.5. A 6.0 was probably not the most accurate rating for Lam Matteo - had he not had some decent shots on target (crossbar, ugh!) he would have received a 4.5 in my book. He passed the ball terribly today - just did not seem to show that determination we have seen in the past. Time to shape up as two games remain - and Fulham are headed downhill - can they finish strong with a couple wins against Arsenal and Bolton?

First assist, why 5.5? Ten goals and Matteo couldn't buy one. He was part of all of the goals though, especially the second goal by Gio when Matteo gave him a perfect lob over the Arsenal defense. Gio did what he does best and trapped the ball in the air, and before it hit the ground, smacked it towards the far corner - a truly beautiful goal. Last match of season comes up against 16th place Bolton, a team that has seemingly only lost by an average of one goal per match- basically, they do not concede many per match- Matteo better bring his A-Game.

Bad taste in my mouth. It's been a great season, but something seems askew. Fulham started off great, but as soon as Matteo started to start games - things have kind have gone downhill - I know this could be coincidence, but you have to worry about that kind of thing. Oh well, great season for Matteo - six goals (8 on the season if you count Hull City). Next up is Negotations/League Results, etc. Stay tuned.

Agbonlahor has landed
Johnson Peoples (Fulham FC Editor), 10.25.2012

The news spread fast when England's very own, Gabriel Agbonlahor accepted the proposed contract from Fulham's management, sealing the deal for the striker to play the 2012 season with the Cottagers.

"This has been a long time coming," Agbonlahor addressed the Fulham faithful, "I'm here to do my best and to lead Fulham to success!"

Fairly straight forward. The news occured so fast, that the re-signing of American forward, Lam Matteo. Matteo, who's request for the #20 kit was rejected, scored 6 goals for the club after joining from Hull City during the 2011 January transfer window.

"I think this is brilliant," said Matteo on the signing of Agbonlahor, "The management is starting to put good use of the funds for players such as his caliber. Things can only shine brighter for us this coming season."

Agbonlahor scored a team high 18 goals for Aston Villa last year, but the team's inability to merit a palce higher than 10th became a frustration for the England international.

"Yeah, they played good football - it just wasn't the type I liked," stated Agbonlahor about his old club, "I'm still was blessed to be part of them - but my time is now with Fulham football club - noone else."

With the addition of Agbonlahor, the question arising is who will he be paired up with this coming year - will it be the unproven American, Lam Matteo, or the graceful scoring machine that is Kamara? Or is there someone else Roy Hodgson has in mind?

We sit and wait.

Morrison and company celebrate their third goal, but Matteo would answer back late with two goals of his own in a losing effort.

Lose some, gain form. The new season started off on the right foot for Matteo in terms of form - but I'm sure he would have chosen the victory for Fulham any day. There was eyebrows raised as to why there was no sign of Gabriel Agbonlahor suiting up for the match - is everything okay between him and Hodgson? Matteo sure could use a better partner up front.

Deadly Duo. Everyone questioned who would be Agbonlahor's partner up front - Roy Hodgson didn't hesitate and placed Lam Matteo alongside the England forward - and never looked back. Agbon's goal was scored as a result of Matteo's diving header that was saved, but deflected to him for an easy tap in. Another solid performance by our boy here, classy goal - starting to get into position a lot better now, and he is finishing. Next up is the Premiership Cup away to Blackburn.
