Marco Silva: This defeat is frustrating for us, but we have to keep looking forward

Fulham lost 0-3 to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and Marco Silva expressed his thoughts on the game after the game.  

Marco Silva said: "Obviously, we all feel disappointed, including the fans, the players in the locker room and all the people who love this club. Before this game, this season has been great, but this defeat has dealt us a big blow. However, we must cheer up, there are still nine games to play, and these games are very important for the team."  

"We'll let ourselves be sad for one night, but we'll start working as hard as we can tomorrow and work harder than before. We can't hide away from it, this is the moment we move on because the last eight weeks of the season are really crucial for the team."  

"In this game, we had a good start. Although we didn't score in those 20 minutes, our start was really good. The result of the game was not expected by anyone, because the game is not just 20 minutes. Our offensive and defensive performances in this game were not ideal."  

"Although we faced difficulties in the game, we fought until the end. In the second half of the game, we found it difficult to find the rhythm of the first 20 minutes and we did not create enough chances.  

Marco Silva added: "In any case, I don't think the score reflects the performance of the two teams. We have to be strong in both offense and defense because that's what football is all about."  

In addition, Marco Silva also expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support. He said: "We must be grateful for the support of the fans. They played with us and supported us until the last minute of the game, even if we encountered difficulties in the game."
