Pep Guardiola couldn’t. Neither could Mikel Arteta. Now Marco Silva gets a go to try and prove that Manchester United aren’t really out of their banter era just yet.

Join Sam and Kish as they ponder the route for Marco’s men to another big away victory at Old Trafford on Sunday. 

Should we go four or five at the back? Can we contain a devilish-looking opposition frontline? And who will step into Adama’s shoes to have a fight with Lisandro Martinez?

United fan and Football Manager writer Ashton Hill is also on hand to give us the lowdown on our opponent’s newfound confidence under Michael Carrick.

And there’s plenty of transfer talk too with the Whites ready to welcome Oscar Bobb.

All that and more on this edition of Fulham Focus!

Lost for words when it comes to Harry Wilson?

Listen as Sam, Kish and Wiggo try to find some which accurately sum up his latest piece of magic.

And after waxing lyrical about our Welsh wizard, the gang then answer the more fundamental question: can Wilson and Fulham maintain their form to keep us dreaming of Europe?

Or were there performances in our latest burglary of Brighton that suggest trouble is just around the corner?

Meanwhile, with one week to go before the January transfer window closes, could the arrival of Oscar Bobb, Ricardo Pepi and the like set up a blockbuster end to the season?

After a traitorous trip to Leeds, the Fulham faithful were in need of a pick-me-up this week - and, momentarily, some big-money transfer rumours seemed to do just that.

But as Sam and Kish headed to the Focus turret to discuss Oscar Bobb, Arthur Atta, and the small matter of our game against Brighton, it all changed.

So how worried should we be at the suggestion Harry Wilson won’t sign a new contract until Marco Silva’s future is resolved?

And can we banish any concerns as we welcome back Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze to take on the Seagulls?

Discover all that and more in this edition of Fulham Focus as we preview Saturday's match with Joe from Albion Obsessed.

After a 10-hour round trip that almost didn't even see them get into the game, it's fair to say some of the Focus gang were ready for a rant.

But after Lucas Nmecha's late winner and a Fulham performance that barely got started, maybe it would have been better if issues with the digital tickets hadn't been resolved.

Join Sam and Tristan after a horrible trip to Elland Road as they review what went wrong for Marco Silva's men with Kish, who took in the shambles from a safe distance outside of Yorkshire.

They discuss a Jedi lacking the force, a game lacking any discernible highlights, and a Fulham side lacking any way of making things happen regardless of their formation.

In need of some pod therapy after a poor game and a poor transfer window so far? This one is for you!

After progress in the FA Cup and the glory of defeating Chelsea, Fulham are back on their travels this weekend.

But can Marco Silva's depleted squad extend that unbeaten run against the giants that make up a rejuvenated Leeds United, and at the cauldron that is Elland Road?

And with the Whites once again looking susceptible at set-plays, who will step up to take charge against Daniel Farke's side of six footers?

Sam is joined by Adam Elliott from All Stats Aren't We to hear how the hosts have turned their season around, and then pairs up with Kish to discuss which of Issa Diop, Tom Cairney, Harry Wilson and Kevin can inspire the Cottagers to a first double of the season.

Oh yes!! How good does that one feel!?

Join Kish, Tristan and Dylan to bask in the glory of Wednesday night's derby delight.

They pay tribute to the heroic contributions that made it possible: Harry Wilson’s clutch winner, Raul Jimenez’s barnstorming performance, Bernd Leno’s quick-thinking, Tosin’s terrible defending, and Marc Cucurella’s total idiocy.

With his third victory over that lot in three years, our trio also ponder whether Marco Silva really is close to securing GOAT status in SW6.

And with things suddenly looking rather rosy in the league, they look ahead to a long journey along the road to Wembley, that starts against Middlesbrough this weekend and could end in FA Cup glory.

Be honest, none of you had a 97th minute Harrison Reed rocket in front of the Hammersmith End on your 2026 predictions list did you?

It took a magic moment from the Captain and came at the cost of an injury to Kenny Tete, but Fulham kept their recent unbeaten streak in the league going at Crystal Palace on New Year's Day

Next up, our first game at the Cottage in 2026 as Liverpool come to visit. Last season an aggressive, front foot display dismantled the Champions-to-be at but can we repeat the trick with a squad ravaged by injuries and AFCON?

Join Sam and Sarge as they discuss TC's worldie, Cuenca's heinous head injury, Kenny's hamstring, January Transfer rumours and much more in another Fulham Focus double bill

And they'll discuss Arne Slot's stuttering title defence and break down where Fulham vs Liverpool will be won and lost with a Kopite who used to work the turnstiles at Craven Cottage, Ben Cooke

Not so long ago, Fulham fans were fearing the worst with the side sitting just above the relegation zone - but back-to-back 1-0 victories have suddenly catapulted the Whites to within three points of the European spots.

So how has Marco Silva changed the vibe at Craven Cottage? Have we actually played well while getting the job done? And could the turnaround continue as we get ready to face recent nemesis Oliver Glasner and his Eagles?

Join us for another Fulham Focus double header as Kish discusses two London derbies; In part one, he is joined by Wiggo to make sense of Saturday's win at West Ham. And then in the second half (42:00), Sam is back and together they preview a New Year’s Day encounter at Selhurst Park with Tampa’s smartest Crystal Palace fan, analyst Pat Rosanio.

Following a win and a clean sheet against Nottingham Forest, Fulham are 10 points clear of both our (not Boxing Day) opponents and the relegation zone.

But can we repeat the trick and bag another three points at the London Stadium to make it a truly merry Christmas? 

In this festive Fulham Focus, Kish is joined by Luke to wrap up our Forest review and preview West Ham away. They discuss an improved defence, the impact of TC off the bench, Kevin’s progress, and Raul’s record-equalling penalty. 

And they talk to Dan Woffenden from the West Ham Way about the prospects of Nuno saving the Hammers from the drop, and whether Adama Traore really could be part of that mission.
