Fulham 0-2 Man City: What Marco Silva said

Published 8 hours ago2 minute read

Fulham manager Marco Silva has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day about the defeat by Manchester City: "It's definitely not the result to finish on a high at home. We had some moments, in terms of chances, that we did create. There were probably enough of those to get a different result, but City were more clinical.

"They were leading and the penalty killed our hopes really - we need to be more careful in that moment. We had two players ready to go in and have an impact [as substitutes] so unfortunately for us, it was a crucial moment."

On achieving a club record 54 points in the Premier League this season: "We have achieved something that nobody has achieved before. Up until the last stages, we were in decisive moments to fight for some of the European spots and arriving where we we did in the FA Cup [quarter-finals] shows it is a good season for the club.

"We improved from last season and that is the main thing."

On the futures of Tom Cairney and Kenny Tete: "Let's hope in the next few days you have some news."

On his own future: "That isn't really important. I have a contract [until 2026] and I have more important things to do in order to prepare the club to move forward.

"I'm talking about development and improvements, the club knows what that means. We cannot stand still at the level that we are at. If we want to keep improving, we have to have the same tools as the other clubs."
