Fulham Focus

Fulham waited 16,497 days for a win away at Chelsea, but could they repeat the trick just eight months later?

Sam is joined by the Cottage Tactico to discuss how Marco Silva's men can pull it off, who will be tasked with trying to score past a defence centred around a certain Tosin Adarabioyo, and whether our squad (subject to a few late big-money additions) could be better set for the Premier League campaign than we realised.

And in the most controversial booking since Chris Kavanagh was assigned our last fixture, the pair are joined by JK from The Chelsea Fancast to try and work out whether his team are actually very good, or if West Ham are just truly dreadful.

Sam is joined by Dylan and a returning Cottage Tactico just hours after ESR’s 94-second instant impact earned the Cottagers a hard earned point at home to Chris Kavanagh’s Manchester United.

The gang also discuss whether big teams really do get the big decisions from VAR, Marco Silva’s slightly surprising switch to five at the back, and fan opinion on key players Alex Iwobi and Joachim Andersen.

Fulham have lost their last eight home games against Manchester United, and are due some luck against this weekend's opponents, but don't expect a helping hand from the Ghost of FA Cup Quarter-Finals Past, Chris Kavanagh.

Still, ahead of a return to Craven Cottage, Sam and Matt sit down to deliberate where the Whites can win this match. Is five at the back the answer? Can our midfield run the show? Is this a fixture for Andreas Pereira?

Meanwhile, Jamie from United Hour joins us to give the inside scoop on the Red Devils' hopes for the season, a new £200m forward line, and their same old shortcomings in goal.

He's still here and still a hero! But for how long?

Morgs and Wiggo are back from the Amex just in time to join Sam in saluting Rodrigo Muniz after his last gasp equaliser on the opening day, and to examine the outpouring of emotion that followed.

As well as Rodrigo's rollercoaster week, the gang also discuss an impressive showing from Josh King, Calvin Bassey's stand-in shift at left-back, and which Fulham player Wiggo took a Saturday morning stroll with along Brighton beach.

On the eve of the new Premier League season, Marco Silva is a frustrated man - and he's not alone. But will the Whites take those grievances out on a Seagulls side that have got used to winning their opening game?

In the first of Fulham Focus' new match previews, Sam and Matt discuss the left-back quandary, consider whether we are more likely to see the third kit at the Amex than Rodrigo Muniz, and ponder if Josh King really will start the campaign in the number ten role.

Meanwhile Joe from Albion Obsessed joins us to provide some enlightening Brighton perspective ahead of the big kick-off.

With the season fast approaching, Fulham’s biggest signings so far have been players who were already at the club (with apologies to Benjamin Lecomte!) .

So - green kit distractions aside - how worrying is it for our Premier League prospects? Could it get worse with rumours of a Rodrigo Muniz departure? How many players do we need through the door before the window shuts? And who could get the Fulham faithful excited again?

Join the Cottage Tactico, TJ Carter from Fulham Fan News, and one of our own in Stuart Lutes as they try to make sense of Loan-to-Buy FC, Joachim Andersen’s buzzcut and much, much more.
