Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Sunday’s Premier League finale against Newcastle at Craven Cottage (kick-off 16:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- He said there is “frustration” and “disappointment” to have not pushed for a European spot to the end as they are “an ambitious group of players and staff”.
- He understands fans will have “mixed feelings” as it’s been “another positive season” for the club, but without European reward.
- Silva said finishing this season with a win “is very important because it’s the reason why we work”.
- On the possibility of a top-half finish: “We still have targets, and that was the way we started the week. Newcastle have the same points as us – they are above us because of the goal difference. If we win the game, we are going to be above them.”
- He wants his players to give their “maximum” and “fight for it” in front of the home support “because the fans deserve it”.
