Kevin's clearly a raw talent, still honing his trade, and unlike Willian has entered the team whilst it's in poor health. It'll be rough but there is talent there, and with time he'll be able to turn his potential into end product for us.
As for Chukwueze, I think he could do with a proper match starting at RW for us - we've not seen him properly yet, and even today his time on the field wasn't when the team had a coherent structure in attack. He's shown some really talented moments in previous games and shouldn't be written off yet. If he can help Nigeria qualify for the World Cup, it might give him the confidence lift needed to reach some serious form for Fulham!
It's ugly at the moment, isn't it! Whilst that's definitely on my mind though, the "scrap" hasn't started yet - we've still got time in the season to put a few points on the board and get ourselves into a healthier league position, so I don't think things are as dire as being in the midst of a proper battle yet.
Obviously there's a good chance we keep going on this trajectory, in which case we will be in a serious situation in a few months! I'd like to believe Silva can be the man to turn the team around, and there's a long way to go before he loses my backing given everything he's done with us thus far.
Kevin proved today he is no Willian and Chukwueze showed why Milan was happy to let him go. Under-performer there and remains the same at Fulham.

We’re in a relegation scrap. Team looks dysfunctional.
