United Icon Gives Special Praise to Affengruber
The centre-back completely nullified the 'Reds'' record signing. His physical style of play was instrumental in securing the point.
With a goalless draw against FC Liverpool, FC Fulham secured their first point of the current Premier League season at Anfield Road.
Álvaro Arbeloa's team showed significant improvement in form, especially defensively, compared to the first three match days. This was largely due to David Affengruber, who, in his starting XI debut for the "Cottagers", ensured that Alexander Isak didn't get a look-in at all.
Keane: "Affengruber won the physical battle"
This earned him considerable respect on the island. Roy Keane, a club icon of Manchester United, raved on "X" about the 25-year-old's uncompromising style: "David Affengruber also deserves great praise. He completely took Isak out of the game. Every time Liverpool tried to bring him into play, Affengruber was there, no space, no turn, nothing."
This was ultimately also the key to securing the point, as the former world-class defensive midfielder further explained: "Arbeloa won the tactical battle. Affengruber won the physical battle. Fulham won the battle of confidence."
