After Fulham lost 1-2 to Newcastle United, head coach Marco Silva summarized the game, saying that the team had a chance to take a point, but Bruno Guimarães's shot in the 90th minute helped Newcastle United secure the victory.  

After the game, Marco Silva said : " This was a tough game as expected. When we come to St. James' Park, the opponents are always full of fighting spirit. Newcastle United just won and played well against Benfica last week. We all know that the game here will be challenging from the beginning."  

"They always press aggressively in the frontcourt and try to boost the home atmosphere through attack. The home fans often play a crucial role in the early stages of the game. We know that we must be as calm and steady as possible in these moments, because the instant pressure and change of pace will have a big impact on our performance."  

"The opponent won a very dangerous free kick close to our penalty area, which gave them a great opportunity. We didn't react firmly enough to the second point, and the opponent completed a beautiful shot from the edge of the box. After the first 10 to 15 minutes, we gradually controlled the tempo. We knew that if we could stabilize the situation, the opponent would be passive, and we did just that."  

"I told the players that a game like this must rely on team cohesion. I didn't see a clear gap between the two teams. In fact, in many stages of the game, from an overall performance point of view, we were even more dominant, both in terms of ball possession and in terms of organization and advancement in the opponent's half."  

"Football matches also rely on individual judgment. We should have done the most basic defense, but we paid the price because of two mistakes. We have to admit that the opponent performed well, but when we conceded two goals ourselves, it is difficult to talk about the credit and it is difficult not to blame ourselves."  

"Regarding the first goal, our centre-backs weren't under any pressure at the time. Ideally, we should have played the ball out wide and drawn pressure. We tried to withstand that pressure, but that wasn't something we had prepared for before and that cost us in the end."  

"In the second half, the team continued to react well and perform well, scoring a wonderful goal that reflected the team's tactical characteristics and principles. The precise combination of play in the penalty area allowed us to be at ease on both offense and defense. It was a very outstanding goal."  

"The opponent did put pressure on us, but apart from a header from Bruno Guimarães, they didn't create many threatening chances. Although they had a certain initiative in the game, we were in control of the situation. However, we then made a mistake that we shouldn't have made. The opponent seized the opportunity on the counterattack and we didn't react in time."  

"We have to be realistic and there are obviously areas we need to improve. Overall, we played OK but we want to be better. I don't feel optimistic when simple things don't go as planned, as was the case in this game."
