Silva praised his team's efforts, saying, "I agree, well-deserved. If anyone was going to win this game, it should have been Fulham Football Club." He acknowledged that his team made mistakes early on, but felt they were the only team playing offense-minded football throughout the game.

Silva noted that Southampton sat back and defended, with 9 out of 10 players around the box, making it difficult for Fulham to break through. He praised his team's patience and ability to make the right moves at the right time, despite a poor first half.

He also highlighted the need for his team to improve their finishing and last pass quality, but was pleased with their overall performance. Silva felt that his team created enough chances to win the game, and was happy to see their pressure eventually pay off.

In the second half, Fulham made some changes to their lineup, bringing on Adama and Lukić to add more dynamism and creating more scoring opportunities. Silva was pleased with the team's increased creativity and felt that they deserved the win.

He said, "We have lacked some confidence, trust, and quality in the 18-yard box. We need to create more chances, with better last passes and finishes. But even so, I think we created enough to have a different result at halftime."

Throughout the game, Fulham struggled to break down Southampton's defense, but Silva was pleased with his team's efforts and felt that they were the only team that really wanted to win.
