Done deal Fulham boss Marco received the LMA Performance of the Week award for our victory against Liverpool.
🙌 The accolade, handed out by the League Managers Association, highlights Marco’s ability to outthink one of the Premier League’s most formidable sides and extract the very best from his squad on the day.
Silva’s game plan was impeccable from kickoff. He set his team up to press Liverpool high up the pitch, disrupting their build-up play and forcing errors in dangerous areas. This proactive approach paid dividends, as our midfield trio dominated possession and ran the show, leaving Liverpool’s engine room chasing shadows for large spells of the match. The early goal, crafted from a flowing passing move, set the tone and underscored Marco’s commitment to attacking football.
Defensively, Fulham were rock solid. Silva drilled his defenders on maintaining a compact shape, which frustrated Liverpool’s forwards and reduced their usual creative spark. The backline’s discipline, coupled with some world-class saves from our goalkeeper, ensured that every Liverpool attack was repelled with confidence and composure.
Off the pitch, the atmosphere at Craven Cottage was electric, with the home support playing its part in spurring the team on. Marco Silva later reflected on the win, praising the fans for their unwavering encouragement and the players for executing his strategy to perfection. “This victory is down to collective belief,” he remarked. “Every member of this squad showed incredible heart, and I’m proud of how we performed.”
This award not only celebrates a single match but also serves as a testament to Silva’s leadership and vision. As the season unfolds, Fulham fans will be hoping for more inspired performances under our award-winning manager, whose ambition continues to drive the club to new h
eights.
