Fulham manager Marco Silva says he is disappointed with Fulham's performance in Saturday's defeat to Everton.
The Whites faced a tough battle against an abrasive Everton side, resulting in a 2-0 defeat in the North West.
The game seemed to be all Everton with Marco describing Fulham's contribution to the 90 minutes as 'small spells'.
"We got what we deserved. We played 20 minutes in the whole game. What we should have done and what we planned to do were there but in small spells during the first-half. We made an impact in the second-half, for 20 minutes we were completely in control, that was the spell where we played like we should have played throughout the game."
"In my opinion, we didn't handle at all the physicality of the Everton side."
Marco goes on to explain how Everton's physicality led to chances: "You can see throughout the game all the chances, even the disallowed goals they created, they came off from second actions after a set piece, long throw, corners, wide freekicks. All these moments came from that moment."
"You have to insert some type of tool that the Premier League demands of you, simple as that. Same teams they play in one way, other teams they play in the other, and you have to be able to handle because what is more disappointing for us, for all of us, should be we are losing and winning games away from home (no consistency)."
"Our away form this season so far has not been at the level that it was the last three seasons. This season is completely different. We have to change it."
"We have always been very competitive. This season, we've had some injury problems, like we had again this afternoon. But we have been very competitive always throughout the games."
"It was not the case this afternoon. In my opinion, we can lose football matches because the other team is better than you but we cannot lose because of physicality. This is what disappoints me more, because at this level, this is non-negotiable."
Marco Silva brought Rodrigo Muniz on in the 59th minute, but the forward was taken off just 15 minutes later as a precaution after feeling something in his leg: "bad news for us when a player comes in that we have to take off after 10/15 minutes, it's not a good sign. It's been difficult in that position, Raúl, as you know, is not at his best at the moment (recovering from injury) it's not easy for him to reach these levels of intensity. I don't remember one full training session from him in the last 15 days."
"And, of course, after Rodrigo came on, he had a good impact in the game and then he felt something again in the same leg, same area of the hamstring. It looks like not good news for us. It was 50/50, it was precaution.
"But of course, after that moment, it was more difficult for us. Even with Adama Traore (coming on for Rodrigo), of course he can play as a striker but it is more difficult to create chances with the ball."
