Fulham Boss defends Bassey’s Tottenham Baptism of Fire

Fulham manager Marco Silva refused to blame Calvin Bassey for the side’s defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

Bassey delivered a subpar performance in the match at Tottenham’s stadium in their Premier League clash, on Monday.

 

 

The Nigerian CB was responsible for turnovers leading to goals by Heung-min Son and James Maddison in the 2-0 defeats.

Silva, was disappointed with the result, but insists the mistakes should not be solely attributed to the center-back, particularly considering it was only his second start in the Premier League.

“Tottenham pressed really strong and more on Calvin,” said the Fulham boss.

“They knew that we were playing a left-footed central defender on the right-hand side, and we were punished for the mistake.

“We spoke at half-time that the solution for Bassey has to be completely different, the position of our midfield has to be completely different for him to have a solution.

“Not just the decision from Calvin was wrong for the second goal, the players should be there to avoid this type of mistake because of course it can happen. “

“It is much more of a process than just one player making a bad decision,” the Fulham Boss said.

Since his arrival from Ajax, Bassey has started just two premier league games for the Cottagers.
