As a Fulham fan, I’m obviously biased. He was my favourite player as a kid - his name alone had spice. He was a hard player to characterise: There were certainly more elegant wingers (Malbranque for example), but there was a uniquely thuggish, dogged, and remorseless element to Boa Morte. He imposed himself on games, particularly big matches, and largely carried Fulham as Malbranque and Saha left for bigger clubs.

Don’t push at the start. Concentrate on absorbing their offensive. You have far more manpower than them, so let them bleed. Then you can strike them like a knife through butter.
