Last updated : 31 August 2014 By Michael Morris

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased to see his side perk up after half time and earn a draw with Fulham.

"I am very pleased with the boys in the second half," the Norwegian said. "They were a completely different side to what was there in the first half.

"I think we were on the front foot, winning first and second ball, moving our feet quicker, moving the ball quicker.

"The only little thing there is getting more efforts on goal, but in the second half I was very pleased with it.

"It wasn't any tactical things we had to do [at half-time], we just needed to get more enthusiasm in our player, move it forward."

"It is a difficult situation, I can understand the fans who are afraid about the situation," he said.

"Last year we came down and now at the beginning we are down again near the bottom, so I can understand the fear of fans.

"Yeah, I am not happy about this but we have a new situation, we had to make a cut. It was necessary for this club to start again from the beginning and that is what I've done.

"I know I have a lot of young players and I know that is a problem. I have known that before and I live with this problem.

"But, please, I ask you to look at the situation, look not only at the results, look at what I have done for the club. It is not for me, it is hear for Fulham that I have taken six players out of the academy.

"Who from the former Fulham academy players plays for England? Or who was the last to have played for England? Please ask [the fans].

"Then please ask them which player from Fulham is playing in the Premier League? Please ask them.

"If you answer, then you can ask me 'what do you do?' I try to bring the players from the academy into the Premier League and that is a long way.

"I am ready to do it and I am the right man for this. No-one else, I am the only one. Not the special one, I'm the only one."
