Thank you! Far too many Fulham fans melting down over the possibility of Marco leaving and not recognizing that the team has shown more of a willingness to invest in higher end talent, not to mention stadium improvements than in their yo-yo years. We might well take the next step with someone else if his message has gotten stale.
I think when players don't want to play like yesterday, it's very dificult for a maneger to change things... We were dreadfull... Leno's mistake... lack of professionalism from almost all the players... WestHam, just wanted more, ran more and fought more then us...
Listen I agree with most of Rossiter grades I've been saying about DIOP from the Bassey mistake but disaster was in the middle of Anderson and the two other white shirts playing space not the MU striker. Grade on the gaffer is harsh 2.5 really his players looked like they were tired no life in the legs that not his fault and his subs didn't work well he wasn't playing either you just have to look at the Khans with those passed EMPTY TRANSFER WINDOWS and you see why this team don't have any different setup options off the bench.
Credit to West Ham for being reasonably organised and pressing quite well. Fulham wre utterly abysmal, just a fundamental lack of quality. So many poor connections that I can't work out if it's due to rubbish passing or rubbish anticipation, but it's probably both. I particulalry love that whenever Iwobi loses the ball he stands absolutely still for a couple of seconds, hoping somone else will clear up his mess, or that the opposing player will be equally wasteful. Complete gash!
You can't play players out of position and expect cohesion.
Low-block teams pack the middle ground thus Silva's - what I call his anti-relegation policy - of playing wingers with the opposite foot results in us naturally turning into the congested centre or going backwards eg. Chuckweze then Bobb then Sess??
Most Fulham pundits last fall decided that a Berger/Iwobi pivot was best. The injuries to Lukic forced us to do that with exemplary results. Putting Iwobi out to the left is wrong as his passing stats (esp. @ Afcon) prove. He is a maestro from deep midfield.
Carney is no longer a premier starter nor is the teenager King (although great subs). But by the time they were subbed we were totally discombobulated.
We have the players. The odd one might be having a bad game, so go to your bench - earlier!
All of this is to state that the Khans have recruited a very good group - Euro quality. And that the final piece of the puzzle is coaching.
We are where we are because of Silva.
It’s a valid statement whichever perspective you’re looking at it from.
I agree. I also think he's a good manager with many capabilities.
I also believe he has a ceiling as a manager which he's continuing to show he can't go beyond and that a fresh set of eyes may improve us.
Both can be true. Worry there's a portion of the fanbase that think he's just completely untouchable, which for me, could set us back.

The only real attacker we have is Harry. Sign him up and get a real number 9 in summer. Don't just talk about it.
