"Liverpool lead 1-nil in Anfield while Fulham are barely hanging on in Craven Cottage, surely this is the end of the premier league title race this season".
"The West London club fought a good fight".
"They pushed Liverpool all the way to the end, but alas, they just had to play against Manchester City in their final matchday of the season".
"They didn't lack for effort, what they lacked for was luck".
While the commentator kept on talking on the pitch, making the mood of the home supporters even more foul, there was a solemn silence in the Fulham dressing room as they reflected on themselves after their first half performance.
Coach Marco Silva gave his players 1 or 2 minutes for their atrocious performance in the first half to sink in, and then he started his speech.
"Is this how you guys want it?" He placed his hands on his hips akimbo. "After all the effort we put in from matchday 1, after staying in the fight for so long, this is how you want us to end the season?"
