5 h. ago Jiménez averts danger for uncertain Fulham with late winner against Sunderland

Uncertain times at Fulham. The word is out that the club’s ownership would like to extend Marco Silva’s stay. The manager himself has been non-committal, having previously been explicit about a lack of summer transfer business. Raúl Jiménez’s winner, coming when it seemed Fulham were incapable of scoring, should at least still choppy waters for now and lifted Silva’s team away from the increasing threat of a relegation battle.The sheen has been fading from his regime, after last season’s record points tally and enterprising football, going a touch stale, though he could successfully argue little of that is of his making. The Khan family gambled on stasis, rarely a recipe for success when others spend money like it is going out of fashion. Continue reading...

5 h. ago Jiménez calms choppy waters at Fulham with late winner against Sunderland

Uncertain times at Fulham. The word is out that the club’s ownership would like to extend Marco Silva’s stay. The manager himself has been noncommittal, while also making explicit his dim view of a lack of summer transfer business. Raúl Jiménez’s winner, coming when it seemed Fulham were incapable of scoring, might still choppy waters for now. It lifted Silva’s team away from the increasing threat of a relegation battle but the manager stayed noncommittal. “I don’t need this type of performance to make important decisions,” he said.Last season’s record points tally and enterprising football has been replaced by staleness and sterility, and Fulham’s manager could argue little of that is of his making. The Khan family ownership gambled on stasis, rarely a recipe for success when others spend big. Jiménez’s goal was a measure of the veteran striker’s determination to keep trying when other heads would have dropped but relying on him remains an indictment of the lack of funding Silva an...

Manager feels ‘pain in tummy’ at end of clean sheet runRégis Le Bris praises his team’s character in ‘masterclass’Mikel Arteta told of his “disappointment and frustration” after Arsenal were denied a win by an injury-time Sunderland goal at the Stadium of Light.

2 w. ago Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane on target as Everton sink Fulham

The onus is not only on Everton’s goal-shy strikers to turn promising play into points, David Moyes had insisted before Fulham’s visit. “I want more goals from my centre-halves and midfielders as well,” the Everton manager said. Idrissa Gana Gueye and Michael Keane duly obliged to deliver a deserved victory over Marco Silva’s toothless side.Everton’s second win in nine matches was relatively comfortable as Fulham demonstrated why their leading scorer this season is opposition own goals. A brief flurry in the second half aside, the visitors were subdued throughout by Everton’s greater urgency and quality. Moyes’ team had three goals disallowed for offside too, but a poacher’s finish from Gueye in first-half stoppage time and Keane’s late conversion ensured there would be no reprieve for the former Everton manager.

3 w. ago Fulham cruise past Wolves to end losing run and turn up heat on Vítor Pereira

The wait goes on and on for Vítor Pereira and Wolves. Not since 26 April – 189 days to be precise – have the beleaguered Portuguese manager and his team tasted victory in the Premier League and that never looked like changing on yet another afternoon when nothing seemed to go their way.From the moment Ryan Sessegnon put Fulham ahead in the ninth minute, there was little prospect of Marco Silva’s side not going on to end their run of four straight defeats – especially when Emmanuel Agbadou was sent off towards the end of the first half. Harry Wilson and a disastrous own goal from substitute Yerson Mosquera made sure of the points after the break to leave Pereira sweating over his future. Continue reading...

Relying on penalties to see off lowly opposition from League One will do little for Fulham’s morale. Marco Silva’s team are in a sticky spot, four consecutive defeats dragging them towards the Premier League’s bottom three, and making a meal out of reaching the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup at Wycombe Wanderers’ expense was not exactly the required tonic before a vital home game against Wolves on Saturday.The positives for Fulham did not extend far beyond Josh King scoring his first senior goal. The 18‑year‑old midfielder cancelled out Cauley Woodrow’s early opener against his old side and the favourites went through 5-4 on penalties. Benjamin Lecomte saved from Ewan Henderson, Fred Onyedinma and Donnell McNeilly before Issa Diop’s emphatic spot-kick killed off Wycombe in sudden death. Continue reading...
