FA Cup -FoF MOTM Fulham 3 v 1 Middlesbrough and post match thread

[love4ffc]

came on and made all the difference. Both Wilson and ESR scored excellent goals, and it was wonderful to see Kevin net his first goal.
Looking ahead to the next match: Who was your Fulham Man of the Match, and what's your reasoning?

[jayffc]

Wilson

And it's not close

Came in and absolutely dominated , levels above

Other shout outs to Raul , Cairney and Robinson who also massively improved us . ESR had a good game too


Hard to judge JKA when he had none of the support around him that Raul was afforded, relatively quiet one that means he'll be destined for no more than 2mins again 😅

[Count Flapula]

Went a bit early with the final score did we? ;)

Only caught the second half but cant see how it can go to anyone other than Wilson. Great goal but the assist for Kevin... Just added another zero to the end of his wage demands!

[hopper]

Smith Rowe or Wilson. What a difference when the subs came on.

And at last Kevin has his goal. Harry Wilson is talismanic, completely unstoppable right now.

Adama's time really really is up. JKA did fine for his start, but today really underlined how much we need our key players to carry us through.

[alfie]

And Kevin finally scored.

[SimonDaviesEnjoyer]

Wilson yet again, goal and an assist.

We looked awful until Silva brought on our real attack, then it became trivial. Maybe a bit of tiredness, lack of depth showing through.

I thought we were genuinely atrocious until 55 odd minutes, and Middlesbrough totally deserved to be ahead.

[demeant0r]

The Wizard yet again. He is on black and white hot form.

[JimOG]

And Kevin finally scored.

And his defensive work has improved enormously

[LittleErn]

TC for me. After he came on we got control of the game and began to dominate. Wilson's contribution was great but without Tcs contribution I'm not sure he would have seen so much of the ball. Wilson's assist for the last goal was great as well but Cairney's pass to ESR was sublime and came at a vital time.

Missed the match today, interesting to read, Kevin got the first assist and his first goal, so thought he may have been in contention, but Wilson sounds like head and shoulders above despite even that productivity from kevin. Curious to see highlights.

Interestingly for Kevin, that's his third assist and 1st goal in the last 6 games he's played for us. Has he turned a corner?

I appreciate it was boro, but the other two assists were in PL games

[Count Flapula]

TC gives us so much more control of the midfield when he comes on: the small things just like aways showing for the ball and taking it on the half turn / always looking to progress if the ball is on makes such a difference.

Other than the peerless Wilson, ESR and Kevin also looked good second half. Jedi far better than Sess when he came on too.

[LittleErn]

There were good performances from our established first team players, but the "hopefuls" did very little to further their claim for a starting place.

[Zoppa77]

Wilson.
Kevin had a good game. Not only his goal but his work load in closing their attack down & interceptions.
Adama really very poor. As has been mentioned, too slow on the ball but his passing was atrocious. Gave the ball away 5/6 in first half.
Subs were great & changed the game completely.

Yeh for sure we really need to find a new Putney De bruyne to blood in.  king I suppose is the great young hope at CAM alongside a very good ESR. But we need someone who can read and dictate a game like TC from deep., a thing few players can. When at his best , he's a story teller.

Will be greatly missed when he does hang up his boots

A brief mention for Boro who in the parts of the 2nd half I saw looked bright going forward and kept the ball quite well. I wish them well for the rest of the season now we've seen them off.

[SerbianLad]

I think it has to be Wilson. His goal got us level and a brilliant assist sealed the win. Others subs made a good impact as well. Kevin has had his best game for Fulham imo,my only criticism of him is the shot he had in first half when he was in acres of space. It was terrible.

Only worrying performances for me were Traore anf the two fullbacks. Traore for some reason slowed down play every time he had the ball, bar the two times he went direct and he actually put in excellent crosses both those times. Why couldn't he do that more often? Castagne and Sess were terrible defensively and made some mistakes in attack too. Worst game from Sess I've ever seen.

[OZ-WHITE]

Death, Taxes and Harry Wilson ........the Welsh Wizard does it again , another goal and assist in his red hot form .
1st half - Borough had a game plan to slow the game down and control possession , have to give them credit thats what they did . We just didn't control the ball or hold possession . Can't fault JKA he's young and hasn't had a lot of game time , maybe could have got his header down . Traore well he was a bit sloppy and not as much of a threat as he should have been . ESR was working hard , same as Lukic and Reed. Mix up with trying to clear the ball , just not clean enough and Borough take the lead. 2nd half - Silva had to make changes with Raul, Cairney and Wilson on , instant impact with more controlled possession and Wilson equalizes . ESR and Kevin grew into the game and we pressured Borough into mistakes . ESR get his reward with a quality goal to take the lead . Wilson with the assist for Kevin to get his first . Borough made us work for it thats for sure but the Cup run continues

Fair enough - but keep it Brief!

Given more time with Marco and on the pitch, I am confident he will come good. He's one of those players you can almost see him trying to adapt in real time, but you're right seems he may be turning the corner. Hopefully the goal will relax him and he kicks on.

That Cairney can play a bit can't he. Wilson on his left foot - magic and i thought Kevin had his best game for us battled to the end.
