Schwarzer's made his Mark - Roy
Roy Hodgson is pleased that plaudits continue to come the way of Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, who kept a clean sheet at Anfield on Sunday.[LNB] 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.[LNB]The London side are also through to the last four of the competition after a remarkable run and face Hamburg next week.[LNB]Fulham were the side to obviously feel the strain the most on Sunday as they created little until a late Damien Duff effort.[LNB]Although Liverpool were not in top gear, the Cottagers still owed much to their goalkeeper Schwarzer for their point.[LNB]The Australian produced fine saves from Ryan Babel, Alberto Aquilani, Maxi Rodriguez and Javier Mascherano to maintain his clean sheet.[LNB]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.[LNB]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.[LNB]"When that happens you can't complain you're underrated. He's been recognised this year.[LNB]"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.[LNB]"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.[LNB]"If you don't have a goalkeeper who commands his area and takes the shots he should take, then you lose the game."
