Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer insists he and his team-mates are '100 per cent' behind manager Martin Jol despite the claims of Bobby Zamora this week.

Outstanding

"It was just a matter of how long it would take him to gel with the team and Dimitar's settled in almost instantly and been outstanding: his commitment, his skill and vision on the ball, and the demands he makes of others. The younger players in particular, he's hard with them but also quick to praise them if they do something well. That's something we'd lost. "We've lacked a bit of that, demanding players to produce at a high level. Berba's developed that attitude at Tottenham and Manchester United, expecting the best from everyone, and he's brought it here." Schwarzer turned 40 on Saturday but the Australia international is not yet thinking about hanging up his gloves and insists he still has targets in mind, including helping his country qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. "They say you know when it's time to step aside," said the keeper. "Maybe I will but I've got goals ahead of me. It's all part of the grand plan. He added: "Whatever happens next summer, I'd love to stay in England. "All I'm focusing on is playing well for Fulham, winning games, having a good season and qualifying for the World Cup with Australia."
