Fulham Focus
We’re all still #MarcoIn, right?

A passive performance away at Everton on Saturday led to what Marco Silva called a ‘deserved’ defeat.


But with five losses in our last six games and the worst record in 2025 of any team yet to have sacked their manager, is he under pressure?


After a terrible opening 45 minutes, have we finally seen the back of the Berge-Lukic midfield pivot? 


Did we get an all too-brief glimpse of our best attacking line-up in the second half at the Hill Dickinson Stadium?


And for the first time in forever, is it frankly a relief to reach an international break?


Join Sam, Wiggo and Kish in your latest Fulham Focus podcast as they discuss all that while trying to work out whether it’s officially time to worry about a relegation dogfight.

Preview Pod: Would a win at the Hill Dickinson prove Fulham really are back?

After finally working out how to win at Goodison Park, the Whites head to Everton’s new home hoping to prove that last Saturday's success wasn’t a one-off.


Will Marco Silva continue his experiment with Alex Iwobi in midfield? 


Can Kenny Tete show Everton what they’re missing by locking down Jack Grealish?


And which flying wingers should Fulham deploy to get at David Moyes' limited full-backs?


Join Sam and Kish as they try to work all that out with Everton analyst Matt Smith, better known on X as @TacticallyMatt.

Is Alex Iwobi central to Fulham's success?

After four successive Premier League defeats, Fulham bounced back in the unlikeliest of fashions - by easing past relegation fodder at the Cottage.


And while Ryan Sessegnon was once again Wolves' hunter-in-chief, it was Alex Iwobi who stole the show in the deeper midfield role that his manager had suggested he couldn't play.


Sam is joined by Morgan and Don to dissect success in this six-pointer, while also discussing the Nigerian's increasing influence, Kevin's first PL start, and whether the club really can keep hold of the generational talent that is Own Goal.

Preview Pod: Surely Fulham can't resurrect Wolves again?

A struggling Wolves side sitting bottom of the Premier League head to South West Six this weekend looking to kickstart their season. Sound familiar? 


We’ve all tried to forget last season’s 4-1 shocker at the Cottage, but as this game approaches the similarities are real and the flashbacks are traumatic. Surely Fulham wouldn't do that again? 


Join Sam and Kish as they try to work out how we can come out on top in this relegation six-pointer, while also getting the lowdown from Wolves fan Harry Mansell on just what has gone wrong for our visitors this campaign.

After four defeats in a row, is it officially time to worry?

It’s the hope that kills you!


After hinting at at unlikely result, Fulham threw it away at Newcastle on Saturday to succumb to a fourth successive defeat.


Error prone at the back and stagnant in attack, is our place just outside of the relegation zone more than just a case of tough fixtures and injuries conspiring against us? Are Marco Silva’s selection choices too stubborn to get us out of the mire? And with a cup tie before a must-win game with Wolves, who or what can change the tune?


Kish is joined by Tristan and Dylan in the aftermath of St James' Park heartbreak to discuss all this and much more.

Preview Pod: Who is fighting fit to face the Toon Army?

A patched up Fulham head to Tyneside this weekend to take on Eddie Howe's Newcastle, hoping to avoid a fourth Premier League defeat in a row.


But who is actually fit enough to take on Anthony Gordon, Nick Woltemade and the rest of the Toon Army?


Do we have a plan to combat their mighty central midfield?


And can we find a winger who isn't Adama Traore to have a run at stand-in left-back Dan Burn?


Sam and Kish endeavour to answer all the key questions ahead of the match with the help of analyst and Newcastle fan Meron, best known for his 'A Game of Two Halves' YouTube channel.

Fulham gunned down, but is Marco out?

Recorded before both Sean Dyche did the honourable thing and the AWS outage obliterated Fulham Focus HQ, Kish, Alex and a returning Boney sat down to discuss the concerning reports linking Marco Silva with the then-vacant Nottingham Forest manager's job.


Once they had stopped fretting, the trio looked back on Saturday's narrow defeat to league leaders' Arsenal while lamenting modern football, saluting a second-string backline, and pondering Raul Jimenez's curious new role as a box-crashing central midfielder.

Preview Pod: How do you stop Set Pieces FC?

After an annoying absence of proper football, Fulham get back to business with a visit from league leaders Arsenal. What could possibly go wrong?!


Well, there's our notoriously patchy form after international breaks, our blunt attack coming up against the best defence around, and our achilles heel potentially being exploited by Set Pieces FC.


But then again, is this not exactly the sort of fixture Marco Silva's men love to surprise us in?


Join Sam and Kish as they try to work if there is any reason to believe that we can leave our visitors in their happy place (second best) on Saturday night, with opposition insights on Mikel Arteta's men from Sky Sports statistician and Arsenal season ticket holder Paul.

Did Marco Silva get it wrong at Bournemouth?

Death, taxes and Fulham somehow managing to lose games from winning positions due to individual errors and absolute worldies.


Whilst some things in life are certain others take you by surprise. So why did our fanbase meltdown online after Fulham's late meltdown away at Bournemouth?


Did Marco Silva get it wrong in opting for a very conservative five at the back against the Cherries? Were the introductions of TC and Chukwueze perfect supersub deployment or a reminder of how much creativity and firepower we didn't call on from the start? And are we destined to never see Jonah Kusi-Asare?


With injuries, frustration and tricky fixtures piling up as we head into the international break join Kish, Dylan and James as they try and work out what our 3-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium really tells us about the season ahead

Preview Pod: Is a trip to Iraola's Bournemouth the last thing Fulham need?

Just five days on from their capitulation at Villa Park, strikerless (sorry Jonah!) Fulham head to the scene of one of last season's crimes, the Vitality Stadium.


But is a game against Andoni Iraola's punchy, pressing Bournemouth side the last thing we need right now?


Who can step up to offer some much needed creativity and firepower? With no Kenny Tete to keep tabs on Antoine Semenyo, can Marco Silva's men keep it tight at the back? And how on earth have our opponents thrown in key new recruits with no hesitation when we seem so reluctant to do the same?


Sam, Kish and Bournemouth fan James look to answer those questions (whilst also bonding over some shared Scott Parker slander) in this earlier than usual preview of our Friday night fixture.

Are Fulham facing a striker crisis?

Injuries to the club's two senior strikers meant that we were forced to field Adama Traore up front for the majority of Sunday's visit to Villa Park.


And so while our physios were being kept busy, it was no surprise that Doctor Fulham was helping to breathe new life into an Aston Villa side that previously had been unable to buy a goal.


Sam, Dylan and Alex sit down to discuss the centre-forward fiasco, our frailties to long ball football, and whether refereeing would be better if VAR was replaced by a random spin of the wheel.

Preview Pod: Is this Fulham's best chance to end Villa Park hoodoo?

Champions League quarter-finalists back in April, Aston Villa are enduring a torrid start to the season and find themselves winless, in the bottom three, and with just one goal to their name.


Most opponents would be enthused at the prospect of adding to their woes. The only trouble is we have won just one league game at Villa Park in the past 52 years.


Sam, Kish and Holte End pessimist Jon sit down to discuss both clubs' campaigns so far, the respective concerns over creativity, and whether Sunday's game really is set up to be a goalless bore draw.

Fulham looking up, Bees looking down?

Be honest, were you one of those worrying when Marco Silva went with an unchanged XI for Fulham vs Brentford? If like us you were, join Kish, Luke and Tristan for a slice of humble pie as they pay tribute to the team who eased to a third win in a row against the bus stop in Hounslow.


Along the way, the gang discuss Josh King's moment of madness, Iwobi's pass, Wilson's finish, the unstoppable goalscorer that is OG, another VAR official who has a problem with Rodrigo Muniz and the collective effort to head away endless long throws.


Plus, with Fulham starting to look upwards in the Premier League table (whilst Brentford look down), who will be tasked with keeping our first route to cup glory alive against Cambridge and will any of them break into this settled side soon?

Preview Pod: Three in a row against the bus stop in Hounslow?

Here we go! But will it be three in a row against the bus stop in Hounslow? 


Can Fulham repeat the trick under the lights versus Brentford? Is it too much to ask for Harry Wilson to do it yet again? Can Kevin (Santos Lopes de Macedo) deliver like Kevin (Mbabu) once did? And will Brentford under Keith Andrews come back to the Cottage with the filthiest low block we’ve seen since Thomas Frank last year?


Join Sam and Kish as they answer all this and more with Sky Sports Statistician (and Brentford fan) James ‘Wheels’ Wheeler.

Did Kevin's cameo paper over the cracks?

For 76 mins of Saturday's game this podcast was going to struggle for content and the Fulham faithful were going to struggle for Sunday joy. But then Kevin arrived and everything changed, potentially forever!


So join Sam, Morgan and Kish to wax lyrical about the man destined to keep us excited this season, leave us for a record fee in the summer and then win the Ballon d'Or.


And after regaining some composure they also try to make sense of a sluggish Fulham performance, ask if Marco Silva got away with one, and marvel at the most emphatic own goal anyone can remember.

Preview Pod: Can Fulham actually beat promoted teams at the Cottage?

Will the arrival of a new 'Samba White' help us break our recent curse against newly promoted sides at home?


Sam is in the hotseat as we discuss the upcoming visit of Leeds United to Craven Cottage, ponder whether Marco Silva is ready to unleash Kevin, and stress out about some big lads who could hurt us at set-pieces (again).


And If that isn't enough, Kish gets to go full 'Tactico' breaking down Fulham versus Leeds with Adam from 'All Stats Aren't We'.

After yet another VAR scandal, has the game gone?

Rob Jones, Michael Salisbury, Stockley Park, PGMOL, Howard Webb and anyone who thinks Fulham didn't get royally shafted on Saturday - this one is for you!


Join Sam, Wiggo and Kish as they vent on the farcical state of modern football, go over the incidents that derailed this weekend's West London Derby and ask if there is any way to rid VAR from the game once and for all.


Once they've got that off their chests there's also time to salute Josh King (who has many big moments still to come), Marco Silva (who finally mastered five at the back), and discuss whether some flying wingers and last ditch business on deadline day might cheer us all up.

Preview Pod: Can lightning strike twice at Stamford Bridge?

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.

Is it time to let Emile Smith Rowe cook?

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.

Preview Pod: Will it be 9th time lucky against United at the Cottage?

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.
