Fulham Focus

Fulham fans travelled to Liverpool on Saturday with high hopes that they could take advantage of their out-of-sorts hosts to score a rare Anfield away victory.

Yet as soon as the team news dropped at 4.15pm, many visiting supporters felt the writing was on the wall.

Is Antonee Robinson capable of ever recapturing his best form?

Does the midfield have any bite without Sasa Lukic?

With Oscar Bobb and Josh King starting, was it literally men against boys?

Sam is joined by a dispirited Dylan and a sweary Tristan as they discuss a game that was up before it even began, while there's also the first examination of Fulham's finances after the club announced their latest figures.

Did that international break feel endless to anyone else?

After a long hiatus Fulham are BACK and even if the time off only increased our managerial anxiety and FA Cup heartache, we have a chance this Saturday to achieve the rarest of things - a win against Liverpool at Anfield!

With the Reds out of sorts, out of form and maybe distracted by trying to stop PSG turfing them out of the Champions League, could the Whites do it?

Will Marco Silva win the tactical battle against a beleaguered Arne Slot?

With Kenny Tete out, should we reshuffle the pack to keep Liverpool quiet?

And who wants to step up and unleash their inner Harrison Reed by becoming an unlikely hero?

To discuss all that and much more, Kish is joined by Morgs and Guy Drinkel from Anfield Index to provide your essential preview of Liverpool versus Fulham.

At half-time, Fulham and Burnley had fully vindicated their status as being the only Premier League clubs playing on Saturday that weren’t live on TV.

And by the time Joachim Andersen switched off to see us fall 1-0 behind on the hour mark, the sleepy apathy among fans had turned into active anger.

But up stepped Josh King, Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez to reignite our European ambitions and send us happily into the international break .

So which performance in this game of two halves was the ‘real Fulham’?

And have we learnt some important lessons about which players can be trusted to see us through the end-of-season run-in?

Join Sam, Kish and Sarge as they attempt to work it all out while also discussing what on earth has happened to the Ricardo Pepi deal.

Burnley fans seem pretty convinced that their season is over. But is Fulham’s?

After three games without either a win or goal, the Whites surely need a statement victory to ensure the business end of the campaign remains interesting. 

They have seemingly signed a striker at the very least - but Ricardo Pepi won't be able to help the scoring situation until August.

So does Marco Silva have a plan that will stop this game from being the dull ‘last on Match of the Day’ non-event that so many of us expect?

Join Sam and Kish as they try to work it all out while also offering a safe space to Burnley ‘Fanalyst’ Lee Cologne, who is currently enduring the authentic Scott Parker Premier League Experience (TM).

Contrary to popular (or unpopular) belief, the season isn't over. Far from it! Fulham still have plenty to play for over the next ten weeks.

Pride, for staters. And after a couple of horrible showings, Marco and the boys will want to prove that they're not 'on the beach' just yet.

But travelling up to a Nottingham Forest side battling the drop, we're going to have to find the grit and cutting edge that has been missing of late.

The question is will we? And who should we put our faith in to get us back on track?

Or is the pull of a familiar end-of-season malaise and the banter timeline of relegating Tottenham just too much to resist?

Join Sam and Kish as they break down a Sunday afternoon by the Trent with the help of Forest fan and Forza Garibaldi co-founder Greg Mitchell.

Ouch. Everything was looking up just a week ago! And now two frankly baffling losses later Fulham fans are wondering if our season is already over characteristically early

So Kish and Boney are ready to have the chat that is raging online. Are you #MarcoIn or #MarcoOut?

Was the manager's selection and slow substitutions to blame for our FA Cup exit?

With all the focus on his future are the likes of Joachim Andersen and Emile Smith Rowe getting a free pass?

And since when is the barometer for a good season at Fulham qualifying for Europe and/or winning a Cup?

Much like Producer Don (who drops in as they chat!) let us know what you think and be sure to give us a review wherever you get your podcasts!

Fulham were good against Tottenham on Sunday. Really good. But then again, Spurs were bad. Really bad.

So what should we expect from another fast-approaching London derby against West Ham?

In part one of this Fulham Focus double episode, Sam and Kish are joined by Wiggo to salute Issa Diop, Alex Iwobi and Harry Wilson before asking if Joao Palhinha might yet return to his Cottage for a cheeky European tour next season.

And then in the second half, James Obern from 'The West Ham Way’ is on hand to break down where the Hammers might hope to do better than fellow relegation strugglers Tottenham on Wednesday.

Our opponents on Sunday afternoon have not registered a Premier League win in 2026

So is this a perfect opportunity to do the double over Spurs and crack on with our reinvigorated European push?

Or will Dr. Fulham strike again and offer our North London rivals some much needed respite?

Join Sam and Kish as they catch up with Spurs fan and podcaster from 'An Echo Of Glory' James Robbins to preview this capital clash at the Cottage

They share some not so kind words about Thomas Frank, try and work out what challenges Igor Tudor's Spurs might pose Marco Silva's set up in this one and check in on Tottenham fan feeling for former Fulham favourite Joao Palhinha

All that and more on this Fulham Focus preview pod!

After Raul Jimenez struck twice at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, Fulham fans are ending February by looking up the league table.

But if we had a pound coin for every time we had done that this season, then the Sunderland stewards would be very rich indeed.

So will March be the month where the season starts to make sense, and can the Cottagers follow up their double against the Black Cats by beating Tottenham, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Burnley for a second time?

Join Sam, Dylan and Don as they discuss Raul's penalty prowess, the unfortunate timing of a crocked Kevin, and whether you actually have to dust off a passport for it to be accepted at European airports.

Only reigning champions Liverpool have managed to flee the Stadium of Light with three points this season so can Fulham spring a surprise to become the second?

Or would getting out of the cauldron with a point be a good result?

Join Sam and Kish as they break down our Sunday afternoon in the North East with Sunderland fan and football writer Ethan Todd, and ask the pertinent questions:

After a decent showing away at another red-and-white-striped opponent in Stoke City, have the likes of Kevin, Harrison Reed and Oscar Bobb earned themselves a start in this one?

How scared should we be of Mr Brobbey?

And how much faith should we put in Tony Khan's recent comments regarding the future of Marco Silva?

All that and more in this week's Fulham Focus Preview Pod.
