Fantastic to see, so glad he stayed, it's gonna make him a much better player in the long run.
3 X the player Anguissa will ever be...
Well. Thats a fine opinion.
I'm glad he's with us and glad he's happy. Don't quite agree on the zambo bit

Major difference is he has = end product
So pleased to see this because I always felt he had it in him, he just needed the right manager to motivate him. He linked up with Mitro brilliantly for his assist.
Played some fantastic through-balls tonight, and was chasing back putting in challenges too. Good to see
Love a redemption arc. He oozes class at this level.
Classy player.
Now looks like he wants to run things.
Perhaps the most intriguing thing was, as 'Marty FFC' mentions, the way he was covering back and even handing out a bit of stick.
He is showing that natural gift of creativity which we have been lacking since Tom has not played.
The way he set Mitro up for his second was quality.
He even got booked for a challenge and we are seeing how important his all round game is, and perhaps now he has settled in we are going to see the best of him. I hope so because he could be an inaugural part of any Fulham success this season
Seri was good today V Brum, with his customary errors as standard. He gave the ball away against Blackpool and was dribbled past for their solitary goal so I haven't completely forgotten that.
Anguissa's issue was perhaps ego-related. He believed, as I did, he should be in the first team - one saw the half-heartedness in his play shortly before he left; he was unhappy and under-performing, but strangely, an unhappy, under-performing Anguissa was still better than any of the midfielders in both teams when he played. I think Anguissa is a superb player if he is happy. One saw moments last season when motivated and he shone above everyone on the pitch.
One doubts if Seri can ever shine that much, but he deserves credit today and I won't knock him - he only made 2 mistakes to his usual 5. That said DeCordva-Reid & Cavaleiro are a complete waste of space.
Certainly a big improvement on what we have seen in the past 2 seasons from him, beginning to like him!!

He has vision though and can pick a pass, something that Anguissa lacks immensely.
Positive play = goals and how many times did Anguissa give the ball away in silly areas ? Equally as many if not more then Seri
The Anguissa love fest never seems to amaze me, with so many he can do no wrong, even when he treats our club with a serious lack of respect people still adore him !!
I don't get it and never will
Seri was brilliant today. No player ever has a faultless game.However the more players play together the more others are able to compensate for others short comings
All the original hype surrounding him - he's showing it! His passes were exquisite.
Maybe Silva has a part to play in his resurgence?

Let's not get too excited, we have been only 0.5 xG better than our opposition in the last two games. Today, we were 0.5 goal better at creating chances, and 2.5 goals better at finishing them.
Praise needs to be given to Odoi, Mitrovic, and Wilson for their excellent finishing; while Gazza, Tosin, Ream and Bryan deserve praise for preventing them converting.
But being better in both boxes doesn't make us invincible and there is a large luck factor in winning a game in both penalty areas.
We need our cohesion in midfield to improve, excellent midfielders (the 21/22 midfielders are marginally better than 17/18 midfield players) but not yet an excellent midfield trio (and all this years trios are no where near as good as the KMac, Stefjo, TC trio as a combo).
Don't need to compare them, just be happy we have one and that he's playing well. In my opinion he's the best player in the championship
Agree with Nick that Seri is prone to stray passes which can put us under pressure. Would certainly need to iron those out if we ever did reach the Prem again.
However, we have to remember he's been in a box collecting dust at the back of the attic for 3 years or however long and it's unsurprising it'll take a while to get back in the groove.

Exactly. 092.gif
The amount of ground Seri covered to play that 1-2 with Mitro for the 4th goal was unbelievable.
Believe he is into the last year of his contract but we have an option to extend. I hope we do this soon!
I always thought Seri was a nice footballer but am surprised how well he is coping with the rough and tumble of the championship. His involvement in that fourth goal was perfection.
The question I have always asked is can room be made in the team for both Seri and Cairney, afraid the answer is still no and it is going to be hard for the club captain to regain his place.
People forget that the club kinda screwed him over. I'm just happy that he's happy now and performing well.
I must be in a minority of one as regards Tim Ream he is whole hearted but indecisive and frequently
caught in possesion or into a rushed pass. We know he is not premiership class so why not give Mawson
a run in the team?

Same here no cutting edge for me always looks laboured with no end product.
Fair play to Seri. He has completely proven me wrong. Really impressed with his attitude and performances this season and beggars belief that we've had this guy on the books the last two seasons and not used him. Perhaps Parker was the problem as he clearly was with some of the other players? Credit to Marco Silva too for rejuvenating him.

For once I fully agree with you TRF. I said last night that whilst we obviously have some great midfield talent we need to develop them as an effective unit. That's not a criticism, it was the first time this particular midfield combination had played together. It will be interesting to see how our preferred misfield develops as teh season progresses. Personally I am very optimistic.

Err this is a thread about Seri.
Seri has shown his class in every game this year. he s been superb.

3 X the player Anguissa will ever be...
1) you are loving seri because for once he actually wants to play for us ...
2) disrespecting zambo who is mid 20's ( not early 30') like Seri, who came from europa league football and didn't want to play in the championship for us..
3) comparing a CDM to a CM... classic. what are you basing your thoughts that he is 3x the player when they play totally different positions, with different roles ?

Sammy clearly in ❤️ With Zambo, fair enough....
Of coarse I can compare they play a similar role and I know exactly who I'd rather see in a Fulham shirt, plus I just said that Seri is clearly enjoying playing at the mo. No harm in that,,,
Not really sure what age has to do with it ???
Seri clearly has more creativity and vision then Zambo will ever have, sorry if that offends you

I tend to agree with much of this Nick (It's rare that I completely agree with you). Seri is much more creative than Anguissa who lacks a final pass, but Anguissa is generally more reliable in defence. He can carry the ball forward but seems to run out of ideas, holds on too long, and gets crowded off the ball. I definitely don't agree that De Cordova Reid is a waste of space. His work rate is commendable and helps his teammates, and he can also be creative. Cavaleiro however........COULD be good if someone can teach him a) when to shoot and when not to, and b) how to be as composed as Harry Wilson is in front of goal.
I believe they are both excellent players. Just needs the right manager, tactics and players around them. Whatever or whoever is bringing out these performances in Seri long may it continue.
Dembele 2, was always good at holding on to the ball but it wasn't till late in his Fulham career that he carried it forward. Previous to that he'd go from side to side.
I think Zambo could be an amazing player, I hope that happens for him.

Do you mean Dembele mk 1? As in the guy that went to Spurs.
