WE’VE SCOTT TO BE QUICK

SCOTT PARKER has urged his Fulham players to get tough from the start against Arsenal.

Since winning at Liverpool on March 7, the Cottagers have slumped to four successive defeats, leaving them adrift in the bottom three.

And with Arsenal fresh from an impressive win in Prague, Parker (left) says it is vital his side try to boss the game from the first whistle.

He said: “I don’t know if they’re vulnerable, but certainly a quick start, an aggressive start, that’s the ambition.

“We need to be organised, we need to be disciplined, we need to go and take the game to Arsenal.

“A quick start and aggressive start is what we need to take.”

But he added: “I also want quality, I want energy, resilience and excitement to go and play football.

“If we can do that and execute it, we can give anybody a game.”
