Liverpool still have their Europa League semi-final against Atletico Madrid to look forward to and they may yet get to play the Cottagers again. The London side are also through to the last four of the competition after a remarkable run and face Hamburg next week. Fulham were the side to obviously feel the strain the most on Sunday as they created little until a late Damien Duff effort. Although Liverpool were not in top gear, the Cottagers still owed much to their goalkeeper Schwarzer for their point. The Australian produced fine saves from Ryan Babel, Alberto Aquilani, Maxi Rodriguez and Javier Mascherano to maintain his clean sheet. It was another fine performance from the 37-year-old in an excellent season and manager Hodgson is pleased his efforts are now catching the eye. Hodgson said: "I think he was underrated at Middlesbrough but since he has come to Fulham, I would say he has got quite a lot of recognition for his performances, not least the player of the month for February. "When that happens you can't complain you're underrated. He's been recognised this year. "You don't have to wrack your brains to find goalkeepers who have been top class in the top league in England well into their 30s. "Schwarzer did a fantastic job for us, and you notice it in a game when your opponents have got the ball much more than you. "If you don't have a goalkeeper who commands his area and takes the shots he should take, then you lose the game."
