If the game, yesterday, was a disappointment, then the Fulham debut of Bryan Ruiz was something of an anti-climax.
Having cost in excess of £10 million, great things were expected of the Costa Rican. Sadly, despite a few early touches, our recent signing from FC Twente, struggled.
Instead of being a revelation, Ruiz struggled to get involved and appeared to be too easily knocked off the ball.
After the game, Martin Jol was quick to acknowledge that it hadn`t been the best of debuts simply remarking,
“The pace was too quick for him”
Perhaps it may have been a better idea to let Ruiz watch from the bench and give him a twenty minute run out, rather than the cold, sharp shock treatment that might have well had Ruiz questioning just what he`s let himself in for?
Hindsight – a wonderful thing!
