Most exciting Fulham team since when??

[Grassy Noel]

I am not sure this team is as exciting as the last Championship team we had. In fact, any team we had with Mitrovic in it is probably more exciting (except maybe the PL Parker season). What a guy.

I did love his application of the dark arts especially at corners where we became very effective. But then there were times when the red mist descended and there was also the belief that he was the best and only penalty taker so I have mixed feelings about him.

He was our best forward since Saha, no question.  But he also had the potential to be a massive **** and it cost us.

I am still not over how he chased the money to go to a two bob league and decimate his career rather than test himself  in Europe (as in the top European leagues) at club and international level.

Best football since Tigana, just need a Saha as mentioned above.

We have played way better football many times over many years since Tigana.  This is an odd comment.

That's odd in your opinion.

I went to every home match and nine away matches in the league when we won the Championship under Tigana and that's some of the best football I've ever seen Fulham play since my first match in 1981.

Jokanovic and Silva promotions were fantastic also but IMO one would be hard pushed to name a more entertaining forward line than Hayles, Boa Morte and Saha since Tigana's promotion.

Maybe a bit against the grain but is love to see kevin get a run instead of Iwobi. much bigger one on one threat and balances us with bobb on the other side. talk about exciting!

In my opinion, the most exciting time, by far, was when Roy Hodgson saved us from relegation on the final day of the season, in 2008, followed by the run to the UEFA Europa League final two years later.
There is NOTHING, that even comes close.

Shea Charles looks a snip at the fee we paid.

Goes to show that there is some serious talent in the EFL we should be looking at.

It's would be interesting to know how we got Charles. Doesn't seem like Arbeloa would have been aware of him.
I know this may be shocking to many, but could it be that it was a stat signing???

He looks the business to me- really improved our centre mid, able to carry the ball, shield the ball, win headers,pick short or long passes, he even had a shot on Saturday.

I could be well wide of the market but the difference between other managers and AA is their priority was to stay in the Premiership. Where as Alvaro's, is playing exciting do or die football. Whether that's going to lead to his rise as a legend or him getting the elbow is a toss up. I don't think he really cares either. He's focused on the football. He seems to have achieved the squads confidence. Hopefully he can instill some of that into Gonzalo and Rodders to produce more goals.
How I think that effects us? We could go down, we're in a good position to win a cup, as we're playing a style of football that relies on scoring more goals than the opposition, there's no going for a draw or parking the bus in any of our games. More involvement from academy players as we move forward. More chance of picking up younger players from bigger clubs as we move forwards as well.
I can't see people's views on him changing either, in the short to medium term. We're going to need to be around the top six by Christmas to allow the doubters to feel we have enough points to keep us above the drop, to relax.

Perhaps the novelty of seeing us play the football under Tigana first off left a bigger impression, but it's hard to say that we've not played similarly expansive and equally as appealing football since. 24 games unbeaten under Jokanovic, even some of the games this season have been great to watch! Silva's first two seasons (one in the Champ and first PL) were also great to watch - how many 7-0?'s, 6-0's or close did we get? Under Silva in the Championship we had a +63 goal difference. Tigana had an admirable +53 goal difference, and got more points, but the two don't need to compete.

It doesn't have to be a competition - we're just lucky to have a club identity grounded in wanting to play football properly and having had a few managers who've managed to get us ticking in a great way!


Stats as a reminder of our season in the champ under Silva (which has to be compared to Tigana as that's when we played our best football under him). We scored more than 3 goals in 17 of the Championship games that season. That's absurd.

We scored 7 goals 3 times, 6 goals 2 times, 5 goals twice, 4 goals 4 times, 3 goals six times.. the list goes on.

Equally as good in terms of winning games, but not as comprehensive as some of the results we got under Silva.

Would be interesting to see the stats playing as Parkerball as a comparison.

Read the initial post.  He said best football SINCE Tigana.  So hes dismissing all the football we have played between now and Tigana.  Thats is truly odd.  I seem to remember a Europa League run in there somewhere...top half finishes... Mitro dominating...

Lankshear and Gudjohnsen look like top strikers in the Championship.
