Fulham manager Marco Silva talked to the press following his side's FA Cup Fourth Round victory at Stoke City.

"It's tricky, these types of games. We knew that we have to come here and prove our quality against a good side, and this type of competition, there's always something behind magic that anything can happen.

"If you play home, away, against Premier League, Championship, or League One or Two sides, it is always very difficult.

We showed again how serious we are when we approach this type of games.

The players, they showed that even with ten changes it doesn't matter.

Many of those players are more than capable to start any Premier League game.

"A little bit of a tricky start, but I'm really pleased with the way the team never lost control.

I never felt our team was nervous, and looking at the result, for us to be in the next stage is more than fair to be honest, we deserve clearly to win the game.

"Even at half-time to be behind in the score, the chances we created before half-time, we could have had a completely different score at the break.

We readjusted some things, but we kept the trust. I just told them that it is important for us to keep the tempo there.

"Individual point of view, some very good performances. Collective point of view, good performance overall. Apart from the one goal we conceded, the backline was solid enough as well.

"This game was important for some players.

It's crucial for us to have Rodrigo Muniz and Josh King back. They came back from different types of injuries. We know how well they played in the beginning of the season together.

"Oscar Bobb, very, very good performance from him. You can feel it, the quality in short spaces that he's going to give. And a very good game from Kevin, too. He created many very good moments from our left hand side."
