Sept 18 (Askume) – Fulham coach Marco Silva said his side must win on penalties going into Tuesday’s Carabao Cup third round tie.
Silva made 11 changes to his starting line-up against West Ham on Saturday and his men missed chances despite taking 16 shots on goal, compared to just seven against hosts Preston, which included Fulham’s Harrison Reed.
“I’m sure we did enough in the 95 minutes to win the game,” Silva told reporters after the 34-goal penalty shootout.
“From the first minute we controlled the game and I think we created enough chances … the crossbar, a lot of crosses, a lot of chances where we should have scored.”
Fulham’s last two Premier League matches have also ended in 1-1 draws and they take on Newcastle United at home on Saturday.
