Great debut. My 2nd best player after Ream tonight
So, who said we needed a right back, we have Christie, Odoi and Sess. to choose from.
Good performance by Steve Sessegnon especially after getting booked early on👍
And Fossey in the wings too
Excellent game!
Loved the fact he had an early yellow card and it never phased him.
Also loved how he joined in the play in other areas of the pitch with confidence.
He may not have the eye for a goal his brother has but he may just turn out to be a better all round player?

I only care about him being a better defender than his brother. And Odoi. And Christie.
Assisting on a goal is great...but I want my fullback to defend first. He looked pretty good doing just that.
Strong B+
Showed real promise and some lovely touches. Take a bow SS
Spuds will need to spend 50 million to get this Sessegnon!!
Ha ha feeling great, won't sleep. The possibilities are endless with this bunch of lads.
He will be gone in the January window
We are just a feeder club for the top 6
I think the academy makes us money when we sell these players but they have no loyalty to us so I have none to them
Great .... strong and fast .. good ball control

Ryan seemed to be more loyal than most, penned his first real contract when he was already a hot commodity, didn't push for a move after our promotion although his stock was sky high, and as far as we know did not in any way behave unprofessional at any point. We eventually got 120 games and 25+ million (and Onomah) out of him.
And Steven has already signed a 5 year contract. Not really sure what you are on about.

I was very pleased to see the performance from SS. Very concerned about the RB spot before tonight, now can see why the club opted not to bring anyone in. Hope Fossey and Drameh are able to match the hype with performance as well when it is their turn. Sess looked very comfortable and capable for a 1st time starter.

A very mature performance. It's only one game, but maybe Tony Khan's interview 'revelations' will begin to make sense.
I would love to see, in due course, some 'humble pie' being eaten by some posters on here (re. the transfer window).
Very good performance though probably at fault for the goal? (Or we blaming Mawson?)
I wonder if it's his own intuition or Parker instructing him to come very narrow when we have the ball, ended up in defensive mid quite a lot tonight
Played very well. It was Mawson who lost his man for the goal, not Sess

I have to assume that it was Parker instructing him to do so, he was even more central in the second half. Maybe clearing up more of the right side for Knockaert by pulling in their winger?
He's one of our own , come on Stevie Sess

Superb tonight. Absolutely superb.

One pass misplaced otherwise very impressive indeed & can see why Parker didn't target a RB in the window. Did all the basics very well - sure as he grows in confidence in the 1st team we'll see more from him going forwards. May well have an indigenous solution to a problem position!
Thought he was OK but hated the way he played as an inverted full back. Badly out of position at times and left a gaping hole down the right hand side on one occasion.
S. Sess was fantastic today - what a prospect!

That had to be his instruction.

But great experience for him,will he keep his place,I hope so,or will Scottie throw Odoi back in there...Coyw
There's only on Sessegnon. Massive game. Might make that position his own this season.
Very well done the lad - what potential, now coming to fruition.
Excellent performance, hope to see him play on a more regular basis now.
I thought Steven showed maturity beyond his years and will now give Denis a run for his money for the RB slot which may depend upon who makes the better partner for Knockaert, Good to have options in a key position.
Terrific interview post match on FFCTV this morning. As Scott described when talking about his debut, "old head on young shoulders". Not phased even when Jamie mentioned the possibility of him leaving for Spurs with his brother
Impressive, and now others may understand why we did not enter the market for a RB.

Yes, and we already have the chant ready, he is one of our own. Great performance, he started sensibly, nothing flash then grew into the game. Some of the interplay second half was better than the famous twin, very excited to see him make RB his own.

Stephen has been in the shadow of his bruv now is his chance. I was very surprised to see him in the starting line up. 049:gif

Good display young are sess.He will only get better.
Was surprised to see him starting but a great debut, fantastic tackle in the first half and then a great shot in the second. Plus all round play was excellent especially on the overlap.
Well done Steven.
Solid game and a good contender for MOM.
Not only did he play well, but he and knockaert linked up together superbly. It's like they have been playing together for years. Hope parker gives him a run of games, and then offers him a 5 year contract

Christie is the ideal 3rd choice right back.
I can't believe he's improved that much in the close season. I wonder if it was a deliberate decision not to give him a start at the end of last season so he wouldn't factor too strongly in his brothers transfer. Whereas Elliots debut was purely to raise his tribunal price, as the Club knew he was going?

Current contract is until 2022 with an option to extend it for another year.

With his brother at Spurs......?
Watch what a few starts and hype & adulation creates in terms of a " want away" mentality
The family are all Spurs now.
Fulham is a stepping stone.
We don't really mean anything to them.
The path is clear:
Get your game time and development at Fulham... then thanks and good bye
Roberts , Dembele, Elliot ,R Sess....
How many more examples do you need?
These are all recent examples.
Make them sign long term deals so we can at least make money or drop them from the squad so they don't get the hype!
You know nothing of the Sessegnon family... I actually do and have family who have known them and all the brothers for years ... I find your comments disrespectful as well as inaccurate.

Dembele was snatched by us from France, so in your world he would have already been disloyal at that point I guess so why would he be loyal to us?
Both Ryan and Roberts were under contract. Roberts didn't even get into our team, and we choose to sell him and got a decent amount for him. Ryan signed for the maximum contract length when he turned 17. We opted to sell him this year because we received a fair amount. Neither player acted in any way unprofessional as far as I know. Do you expect them to stay at Fulham for their full career? Surely it has always been this way, with players like Haynes being the exception already back then?
How about the clubs loyalty? What about Kait and Thorsteinsson? They gave their all in the youth teams and the reserves as far as we know, why didn't Fulham show loyalty to them? Or Woodrow?
Also, do you actually believe that Steven will leave in January?
In short, I still don't understand your continued rant. Are you just angry because Elliott and Ryan left?

"over the top comments"? From one of the leading members of the TK out brigade, who has spent the whole pre-season denigrating the club stating over and over again how bad our defence is and how Tony Khan is incompetent etc.
As debuts go, it was one of the most assured and confident I have seen. The people that matter also think he was outstanding and superb. Your opinion on the game, our players, coaches and the owners performance is just hot air.

I'm not afraid to say all our opinions are water vapour and carbon dioxide aka hot air. Plants thrive on it, and so does the planet, apparently.

I completely agree. An unjustified attack on players and the Sess family.
Ok fine
I'm not attacking the family.
Yes if it's seen that way...
Correct.
Out of order
However...
Don't you think Steve doesn't want to join his brother?
We spend millions on an academy and most leave us as soon as brighter lights beckon.
Tell me how many of the big 6 actually play academy products?
Why do we bother?
Sess could have signed a contract extension.
He didn't and it wouldn't have done anything if he did other than give us more leverage.
He would still have been off and we would not have stood in his way.
We take a chance on young talent coming from our academy.
Chelsea don't
Spur don't .
Why do we bother.
We play them .
They leave.
Yes that annoys me.
But the real truth is it breaks my heart ... that translates into ill considered posts so...
Bottom line is I'm sorry .
For the original comment
For the fact our kids don't want to stay.
Levy screwed us leaving everything late.

I did. Based on Sess performance, we're good with Odoi and Steve to be honest. Hold my hands up on that one.
Its not just about him wanting to join his brother its about where will he get game time and that at the moment won't be with spurs.
Every smaller club looses their best young players and the fees we get is what keeps smaller clubs going.
Ive no problem with ryan goin he gave his all while here got us a nice fee and possibly a good young player form spurs and he has gone to challenge for titles and play in the champions league if he was just after the money he could have went next year on a free for a big signing on fee .
Should we not just enjoy the good squad we have now and look forward to a good season

A really decent debut.
I was worried after the early booking but he played well, nice and composed (Why Hudds were not instructed to attack SS I do not know)
At times in the second half he appeared to be playing in midfield?
