Ryan Fredericks left Fulham for Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer and impressed in their 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Monday.
Fulham fans have taken to Twitter in their droves over the last few days, wondering out loud why they did not do more to keep Ryan Fredericks at Craven Cottage.
The rampaging right-back was one of the key components of their Championship play-off winning campaign last season but joined London rivals West Ham United in the summer when his contract expired.
It’s fair to say he has not been replaced, at least not adequately. Timothy Fosu-Mensah has been a big disappointment since arriving on loan from Manchester United while Cyrus Christie has seldom looked up to the demands of Premier League football.
And, to make matters worse for Fulham fans, Fredericks offered a timely reminder of his quality as West Ham snatched a deserved draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool on Monday night.
Making his first league start since September after recovering from a hip injury, the one-time Tottenham Hotspur youngster was his typically energetic and tenacious self, offering plenty of pace in attack.
If he checked his Twitter after the game, Fredericks will have seen a few emotional messages from those who used to sign his name at the Cottage.
