Murphy keen to attack City

3rd December 2008

Fulham captain Danny Murphy insists there will be no sitting back against Manchester City this weekend.

The London side have moved up to 10th in the Premier League after victories over Newcastle and Tottenham and impressive draws against Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Yet with the table so tight, Roy Hodgson's side are still just four points above the relegation zone and Murphy does not want to ease up as City visit Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Murphy told the club's official website: "At times they play some wonderful football and are a joy to watch, but of course, with such individual flair and characters in their team they can be susceptible on the break.

"So we have to be trying to attack them and make sure that we have a good go at them, because I think their attacking is probably their strength - you can see that by their goals for tally. So we need to try and go out and win the match - we certainly won't be going into it cautiously.

"Like every team in the Premier League they've got players that can hurt you and players who, on their day, can win matches so it will be a good game. They play football the right way, they don't whack it, they knock it about, so I think the fans will be in for a really good game."
