Fulham No1 Schwarzer: Juventus tie still alive

Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer insists they're well in their Europa League tie despite last night's 3-1 first-leg defeat at Juventus.

The Aussie No1 says there's still belief they can turn around the result at Craven Cottage next week.

Schwarzer told fulhamfc.com: "We find ourselves very disappointed with how we conceded the goals. We got ourselves back in the game at 2-1 and from our standards the third goal was a very sloppy goal.

"We uncharacteristically conceded three goals and we're very disappointed. They had a different game plan in the second half and wanted to hit us on the counter attack as they were happy with the 3-1 score.

"We'll watch the videos, analyse it and make sure it doesn't happen in the second game. I've been in this situation before and I don't think the game is over yet. I think we'll cause them a few more problems at the Cottage than we did tonight.

"The Cottage is a very tight ground and we won't give them as much room as they had tonight - it will be a very different game."
