Martin Jol expressed his disappointment at Fulham's failure to build on an early goal during the 2-1 home defeat by Manchester City.

Dzeko thumped home the winner after John Arne Riise had failed to clear a Gael Clichy cross and Jol concedes the Norwegian full-back will be disappointed. The Fulham boss continued: "It was a mistimed ball. I would hit it with my right foot instead of trying to head it. It was a bad clearance. "I think he will be disappointed because the mistake he made they punished. "They are a very good team but there is always a possibility against them to play your football like, for example, Arsenal did last week. "We couldn't keep the ball, they were stronger than us and more eager to score. "The only thing we could do was defend, defend, defend and that is probably not enough if you would like a result against them."
