We're sick here at Fulham - Jol

Martin Jol says he and his Fulham were left feeling 'sick' after today's 3-1 loss to Everton at home.

The Cottagers fell behind when Royston Drenthe lashed home in the third minute but it looked as they would at least get a point thanks to Bryan Ruiz' audacious chip in the 68th minute after he had just come off the bench.

Bobby Zamora was close to giving Fulham the win in the 89th minute but he could only hit the bar after rounding Everton keeper Tim Howard before Louis Saha and Jack Rodwell netted late goals to give Dave Moyes' side the win and Jol admits it hurt to lose in such a style.

"There was a big contradiction between the first minute and the last," he said.

"We had to change it in the second half after Drenthe, who has probably never played on the right before, scored a goal in the first couple of minutes.

"We fought ourselves back into it and in the second half the equaliser from Bryan Ruiz should have been enough to win this game.

"It is not about possession or playing better now, it is about chances.

"We really thought we could have a result from today but we didn't.

"Bobby had the winning goal on his foot in the 89th minute and then we conceded a goal in the 90 minute.

"There's nothing you can say to Bobby. He's sick and we're all sick.

"They play together and they lost together. We should have won this game and we didn't. Today should have been different."
