Fulhamish

We look back at Saturday's routine defeat against Manchester City as Fulham put in a fairly resilient performance, but not one that could get even the most optimistic Fulham fan off their seat.

We discuss Parker's tactics, which were pretty much undone within the opening half hour. We also discuss the penalty, which was the very definition of "soft".

Then, we have a look at your questions, mainly centering around the future of Aleksandar Mitrovic, who yet again didn't start for FFC. Finally, we touch on the return of fans to Craven Cottage from next week and ask whether it will boost Fulham's fortunes

In today's episode we have the final word on Monday's win over Leicester, as Scott shuffled his pack and produced a stunning performance against one of the league's best sides.

What can Scott take forward into Saturday's difficult game at the Etihad Stadium? Could Tom Cairney potentially come back into the starting XI?

We take an in-depth look at Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, following Peter's profile on him earlier this week in The Athletic. He's a player who has really shone this season, particularly during Monday's game at the King Power Stadium.

We ask why it's taken Anguissa a bit longer to finally realise his potential in SW6 and we get some insight from the Cameroon national team coach, Toni Conceição.

Finally, we get an opposition view from Steven Mcinerney of the Esteemed Kompany YouTube channel, as Fulham go in search of more unlikely points against Pep Guardiola's side.

Jack, Coops, Drew & Guy look back at three huge points against Leicester City - a first and hard-earned away win for the season which took Fulham out of the relegation zone.

We examine the lineup and changes that propelled the Whites up the table and, for once, we can talk about a penalty converted to perfection. 

Amidst the elation, however, there is deep sadness. This week we lost a true gentleman of the game, and a Fulham cult hero, in Papa Bouba Diop.

There's time for some reflection of the big man, the goals he scored, and the joy he brought to all Fulham fans. 

Today's performance is one he would have been proud of, and it was a classy gesture from Ademola Lookman to hold up his Senegal shirt after scoring. 

Fulham face City next, and there's also a look at what to expect from that game, as well as a glance ahead to the FA Cup 3rd Round, where we learned tonight that we'll be facing local rivals Queen's Park Rangers, as we get the Cup rolling in 2021.

Sammy, Jack and Peter look back at all the week's Fulham topics, including the team's style of play which lead to many errors in the Everton game and ultimately numerous chances conceded. We also discuss the potential return of fans to Craven Cottage after the UK government's announcements this week.

Then, we talk to Dr Robin Jackson, senior lecturer in sports psychology at Loughborough University about Fulham's failure to score all of our penalties this season. He gives us his insight into how penalty takers need to perform under pressure and figure out a strategy that gives them a greater chance of a positive outcome.

Finally, Dom chats to Leicester City YouTuber Lee Chappy to get an opposition perspective on all things at the King Power Stadium ahead of Monday evening's game.

We look back at Sunday's 3-2 defeat at home to Everton in an entertaining match where competent defending was in short supply. Fulham were valiant, but ultimately undone by sloppy moments at the back, reminiscent of our games earlier this season.

We discuss Fulham's performance without Mitro, our problems at full-back and more penalty drama, as Ivan Cavaeleiro missed our third spot-kick of the season. 

Your questions focus on Tom Cairney and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, plus a few humorous suggestions as to who could be our next penalty taker.

We start with a Fulham round-up from the international break, and of course we discuss Mitro's missed penalty for Serbia, which meant that they didn't quality for Euro 2020.

We also discuss Rodak's strong performances and how Stefan Johansen ended up at the centre of a covid-fuelled storm during his time with the Norwegian team.

Then we take a look at Joachim Andersen in-depth, after Peter's excellent profile on him which charted his rise from Denmark to the Premier League via Holland, Italy and France.

Finally, we look ahead to Sunday's game against Everton with Dom chatting to Tom Clarke of The Toffee Blues to get an opposition view from Goodison Park.

Jack and Peter sit down to discuss Fulham's Premier League start, with eight games gone and a lot of lessons learned; before looking at how it's imperative to keep improving over the next four games against difficult opposition. 

The midfield has been a plus point in recent weeks, but how do you bring in Ruben Loftus-Cheek - perhaps Fulham's best player on paper - and make use of him if we're going to see Fulham kick-on? 

There's also praise for Bobby De Cordova-Reid, our 'Swiss Army Knife' who's bringing more to the side than just some stability on the right. 

Finally, we round things off with a look at our lads on international duty, if you want to keep an eye on the International Whites.

A look back at Fulham's narrow defeat at West Ham, as Ademola Lookman inexplicably decided to panenka a 98th minute penalty straight into the gloves of Łukasz Fabiański. 

We discuss that incident in detail, look at an otherwise positive performance and whether Tomáš Souček's goal should have counted.

Was it Fulham's strongest defensive performance of the season so far? And are we more confident of survival than in 18/19?

The Athletic's Peter Rutzler shares his thoughts on Fulham's first win of the season against West Brom. How much will it boost the team psychologically to not only get the first three points, but also keep a clean sheet in such an important match?

We then move on to discuss Fulham's brand new defence and ask whether a team with a new back five has ever succeeded in the Premier League? 

We then move on to discuss Tom Cairney, and his role in the team following a brilliant MotM performance on Monday night. We discuss TC's best position and how he can kick on this year.

Finally, we preview the West Ham game with Dan Lawless from West Ham Fan TV.

The Fulhamish panel look back at Fulham's first Premier League win of the season, as West Brom were put to the sword at Craven Cottage. 

With Fulham dominant from start to finish, there's a lot of praise for Tom Cairney and co, as well as two-assists for Aleksandar Mitrovic and our flying full-back combination. 

We answer your questions about how the midfield starts to look throughout the season, how the CB partnership started, Scott Parker's tactics, and of course, how you solve a problem like our right wing. There's a little look forward to West Ham as well. You Whites!
