We'd be chuffed if our side put in a resolute performance like that. Oh and Harry Wilson is the most overrated player in the league if you ask me. Liverpool have had Fulham's pants down by selling him for £12m.
I fully expect Fulham and Bournemouth to remain and finish as the top 2 sides. All teams at the top have a dip in form in the winter, it's just the way it is. They'll just play through it and their quality will come back I'm sure.
With Blackburn, Sheff U, us and Boro looking like they've got their acts together there's now big pressure on Coventry and Stoke. It'll be interesting if those two can continue to get good results.
What I found interesting about Sheffields performance last night was the way that they challenged Fulhams possession every sing!e time. Players like Billie Sharp fought for each ball so that eventually Fulham found no space or time to create their normal moves. They were forced to look ordinary by a tactical masterpiece from Heckingbottom. If others can copy that method successfully then Fulham will drop into the p!ay off positions.
Fulham have only managed 4 points from the last 5 games so that should suggests that Heckingbottom isn't the first manager to outsmart Silva.
