Fulham

We asked you what would ensure you are satisfied this deadline day.

Here are some of your comments:

Joseph: One simple thing. Any player who is able to either score, or put a decent cross into the box, whether that is from a corner or from open play. Doesn't matter how much we spend, but we desperately need at least one of those options.

Mike: Definitely a right-back and a striker.

Robert: We need someone who can score 15 goals in a season. We also need someone who can create goals. If anything were to happen to Antonee Robinson, we would struggle to make any goals.

Tom: With our recent record of reinvigorating Premier League players whose careers have stalled at other clubs, it may be worth taking a punt on Evan Ferguson.

Charles: We need a right-back. We have been linked to Mehmet Zeki Celik of Roma, but he hasn't been given the green light to go. With Tete injured and Timothy Castange under-performing, a new right-back is the bare minimum.

Alex: We need a winger desperately. With Reiss Nelson still out and Harry Wilson out for 10 weeks, we cannot rely on Adama Traore as he is too inconsistent. Everyone talks about the striker position and I am still waiting for Rodrigo Muniz to make an impact. He proved himself to the club last season that he can score, so give him enough time and it will come when he has the confidence.

It's the last day of the winter transfer window and Premier League clubs have until 23:00 GMT to complete their business.

We'll bring you all the news, views, twists and turns as the clock ticks down to deadline.

Let's be realistic.

Instead of setting sights high only for dreams to get dashed, we want to know what the minimum requirement is for Fulham on deadline day.

Be as specific as possible and tell us what will ensure you are satisfied come 23:00 GMT on Monday.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Newcastle United and Fulham.

Here are some of your comments:

Newcastle fans

Peter: Newcastle lacked ideas and the players looked as though they thought they were entitled to win. Maybe that's not the case. Sometimes they need a plan B and greater depth in the squad. Both Bournemouth and Fulham out-muscled Newcastle. More time in the gym needed?

Richard: This keeps happening, doesn't it? And at St James' Park too! That's about 12 points dropped against sides we should either be beating easily or at least grinding out a result against. But, unlike some, I have absolute faith in Eddie Howe to sort it. If it's not something he can remedy, then I doubt very much it's anything within his control to fix in the first place. He is too much of a professional to say out loud that we need freshening up, but we really could do with some new faces.

Pete: Newcastle gave the game away. We should have had it dead and buried. Unlike the Bournemouth game, we weren't beaten by a better team. Instead, we lost a game that we could have and should have won.

Krish: We are making life hard for ourselves by not getting results against teams like Fulham or being up for the fight. They had our numbers by flooding the wings with pace and power. I feel like we need to get Wednesday done and out of the way.

Fulham fans

Guy: Great display and I'm so happy with the bounce back, getting our first win at St James' Park since 2009. Keep it up like this and I will be booking my tickets to obscure Slovenian football teams come August.

Chris: What a win at that ground! A great performance in the second half, with both strikers on the scoresheet and another assist from Robinson.

Charles: Whatever Marco said to them at half-time obviously worked. It went from watching an amateur team to watching prime Barcelona. I reckon if we can force teams more and exploit mistakes then we can have another late European push.

Iain: Most Fulham fans will not be surprised at this result. If they had a reliable striker, they would be in the top four comfortably. They have lost and drawn games they should have won and, invariably, it is always against the teams well below them in the table. Fulham have a long history of doing this! Quite how getting a recognised and experienced striker was not top priority in this transfer window is baffling.

Fulham defender Antonee Robinson has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day about the win: "In the first half, we were still putting things together and it wasn't really falling for us. In the second half, we came in and said: 'Don't concede and we are going to get chances'. We came out flying and putting the pressure on them.

"We managed to get the goal, then the lads coming on and scoring has been the story for us.

"Tactically, it was all the same. We just said: 'If we don't concede, we can go on and win the game'. We said that we needed to be more physical and not lose tackles. They started to get pinned back a little bit and, after we got the goal, we just carried on with our game plan.

"The gaffer didn't have a big go at us, he just said: 'Go out, win your battles and you can win the game'."

On the impact of the substitutes: "It has been the story of our season. It's not just the starting XI, it's the whole squad fighting for places. The fact that everyone keeps the belief and there is so much contribution from the bench just shows we are together as a unit and working for each other."

Fulham manager Marco Silva has been speaking to Sky Sports after beating Newcastle at St James' Park: "I'm very pleased, really. It isn't easy to play here against a really good side. It was well managed and it was a very physical one as well. It is really difficult to control the game against the players they have in the middle of the park, but most of the time we did it.

"One individual moment of quality from Anthony Gordon. We know the quality he has and we should have been better in that moment.

"Overall, I think playing here the way we did, we didn't let them press high like they normally do. In the first half, we lacked a bit of objectiveness and we needed to be more incisive, more proactive in our attacking line.

"What a reaction. The first 25 minutes of the second half was from a team who really knew what to do to win a game here. A great counter-attack, what a moment from ourselves.

"Overall, I think we deserve the three points. I have to praise the players for their reaction in the second half. Three points is really important - we are here to fight."

"It's been the story of our season. It's not just the starting XI, it's the whole squad fighting for places," said Fulham captain Antonee Robinson to BBC Match of the Day.

"The fact everyone keeps the belief and there's so much contribution from the bench just shows we're together as unit and working for each other."

Marco Silva was spot on with his changes once again as he took off Raul Jimenez - who scored the equaliser - for Rodrigo Muniz late on.

Muniz's goal gave Fulham their first league win at St James' Park in 16 years to lift them up to ninth, just five points adrift of Newcastle in fifth as they continue on their charge for a spot in Europe.

It is almost 14 years since Fulham, under the guidance of Roy Hodgson, went all the way to the Europa League final - where they were beaten by Atletico Madrid.

But, Fulham fans may have eyes on yet another European tour next season.

Silva's side did not accept defeat today despite staring it in the face after a dismal first half display and were rewarded for their almighty efforts with all three points.

Up next for Silva's men in the Premier League is a home tie against high-flying Nottingham Forest but Fulham will be full confidence heading into that one.

Fulham have won three of their last five Premier League games when behind at half-time (D1 L1), recording more victories than in their previous 88 such matches in the competition (W2 D10 L76).

Antonee Robinson assisted his 10th goal of the Premier League season, the joint most of any Fulham player in a single season, which moves level with Steed Malbranque (10 in 2003-04).

Raul Jimenez scored his ninth Premier League goal of the season, with all nine goals either putting Fulham ahead (6) or equalising (3).

Fulham are another team I am finding very hard to predict, but Newcastle are a lot more reliable.

Yes, they were walloped by Bournemouth last time out at St James' Park, but before then they had won five in a row at home in all competitions.

Fulham are capable of causing them problems and showed that when they beat them 3-1 at Craven Cottage in September.

But I am going to go for a reverse of that scoreline here. Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon are in excellent form and they will make the difference.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1

Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Newcastle (kick-off 15:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Silva said "it is not good news" about Harry Wilson as he requires surgery and "he is going to be out for a long period of maybe 10 weeks".

• Reiss Nelson "is getting better" but is not in contention for a return yet.

• On the transfer window, Silva said: "We are trying to get a right-back and we are looking for a player in Wilson's position too. Time is not on our side, but let's see what we can do."

• He said the team "should have provided more for the attacking players" against Manchester United and it is a reminder that they have "to be strong at both ends" to get results.

• On that defeat: "So far we have been able to react to the downs. We have found answers to problems. We look at all the positives even if we don't win a game. There are areas we should quickly improve in and we've worked on that this week."

• He said his side "are really difficult to beat" and added: "We put pressure on ourselves to reach the standards we set. We have quality and we have organisation."

• On Newcastle and St James' Park: "We have an identity that we don't change whether we are away or at home. We have to play our way and with courage. It's going to be an open game as both sides will try to win."

We asked you to tell us one thing that no one is talking about regarding Fulham.

Here are some of your comments:

Robert: We have had a great season so far but I feel we are going to be stuck as a mid-table team as we were in our stint in the early 2000s. Unfortunately our midfield hasn't been as prolific as we would have thought, plus our strikers miss a lot of chances! If we want to get anywhere we need to start seeing chances go in! Smith Rowe and Andreas have not been as good as previous years, to which they need to step it up. We need a striker and a right winger to be competitive in my opinion.

Terry: Lack of goals from midfield. Most teams in or around mid-table have a defensive midfielder who can score 3-4 screamers a season, we have no one. Sasa and Sander do sterling jobs but goals are a rarity.

Jeffrey: Fulham are one player short of being a half-decent side. There's a massive void upfront with no penetration. Sign a striker!

Robbie: We need a striker that can create their own chances. There are lots of intricate passes but with no real end product in the form of goals. A striker that holds the ball up - like Zamora - and plays others in but who is also capable of creating his own chances is needed. Jimenez is not a creator or particularly clinical enough in my opinion and maybe if we can't find a Zamora then give Muniz more game time, and show him a few Zamora clips!! Maybe Muniz and Smith Rowe can link up and have an impact?

Simon: Why is the atmosphere so bad at Craven Cottage? Is it that we've risen from crowds of 3,000-4,000 25 years ago to the Premier League and not developed a loud core group? Is it the ground? Is it too many posh fans? Or is it that, as many suspect, the club have alienated and priced out real fans in favour of tourists and corporates, chasing the merch money rather than hardcore loyal fans? The chickens will come home to roost; we didn't sell out against Man Utd so tickets went on general sale. Long-term fans are losing patience.

Jeff: Marco isn't the man to take us forward. Time after time we fall away in the second part of the season. There are poor performances against relegation threatened teams every season. I'd be happy with a change in the summer.

Fulham fell short to Manchester United on Sunday as Marco Silva's side failed to score for only the second time in this Premier League campaign.

But you know your club best, so we need you to tell us the one thing - good or bad - nobody is talking about at Fulham but really should be.

Sometimes football can just leave you feeling flat.

Much was made about our chances against "the worst Manchester United side in history" on Sunday but, ultimately, we did not offer anywhere near enough to trouble any iteration of the Red Devils.

It leaves us with just three wins in our past 12 games and treading water in the middle of the table.

This season is splitting the fanbase.

Should we be appreciative of mid-table security? Be grateful for the highs and philosophical about the lows? Or should we be asking for more from what is one of the most talented squads in recent memory, headed up by one of our best managers?

The answer is - as it often is - somewhere in the middle, and that is where the flatness comes in.

More often than not in the past decade it has been feast or famine for Fulham. The danger of relegation; the pain when it comes; play-off wins at Wembley; a swashbuckling title-winning campaign. It is certainly never dull.

Our current situation is a more sedate affair, but our pulses were still racing just two months ago at the thought of European qualification. And while nothing is set in stone, our recent form - including our draw-laden unbeaten run - has taken us out of that race.

We may still end up topping our record points total of 53 this season. But the level of competition is so high that it is unlikely to bring us European football.

Meanwhile, the likes of Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest, promoted the same season as us, are showing what can be achieved - and that hurts.

The FA Cup, then, looks like the best chance of injecting a bit of fizz back into this campaign.

Without it, we look content with coasting to the finish.

We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Fulham and Manchester United.

Here are some of your comments:

Fulham fans

SJLM2: Woeful against a side clearly out of form this season. Any slim chances of Europe that we had are slipping away fast and can only hope that the Khans invest in a proven goalscorer in the remaining days of the January window. We seem lethargic, bereft of killer instinct and final pass. I fear we have missed the boat yet again this season to really push on. Am I the only one who thinks we still lack the ambition despite the talents of the manager?

Parker: One bright spot was the energy and involvement of Emile Smith Rowe - much improved overall. However, I was disappointed with our lack of finishing. Rodrigo Muniz had a couple of good chances to be the hero but couldn't capitalize. We still feel like we're one player short.

George: There were moments where we could and should have equalised but overall we just lack a cutting edge that we seem to have been missing most this season. Hate to say it but what if a certain Serbian number nine was here? Don't even start on the amount of away fans in the home end…

Luke: It feels like we need to find a way of playing against low blocks because as much as we had a couple of decent chances, it wasn't enough considering how often we played in their final third. Smith Rowe started fairly well but needs to get himself in the game more - we are yet to see the quality Arsenal fans were raving about.

Man Utd fans

Adam: The epitome of grinding out a result and that leads to a winning mentality. True grit and determination from a team that has been through the wringer lately. Lisandro Martinez was humble about his goal, and spot on about how Toby Collyer is an example to the whole team. Get your head down, work hard, fight until the end and be proud to represent the badge.

Andy: The United fans were incredible. Nothing to cheer about but they didn't stop. All game. Ruben, don't worry, we're here and we're behind you for as long as it takes…

Michael: For most of the game, we were feeble. We didn't pose a threat until the goal. The goal came out of the blue and was not really deserved. It was a hard watch, disheartening from a fans' perspective. Still it's a win, and surely we must improve. We must be more of a threat. Fundamental to that is to stop losing the ball, win 50/50s, impose our game on the opposition and score goals. I am forever optimistic, but there were times during this game when I nearly got up to re-arrange the dishwasher.

Ian: Struggled mightily to score. Transition from defence to midfield to attack was not fast enough. Our forwards are not penetrating the opposition defence. United defence much more solid and effective. This game for me had 0-0 all over it until Martinez popped up.
