Fulham manager Marco Silva has urged his side to be cautious of AFC Bournemouth’s collective attacking threat as they prepare for tonight’s Premier League encounter, despite the standout form of Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo.
Semenyo has been instrumental for the Cherries this season, registering four goals and two assists, and remains one of their most in-form players.
Speaking ahead of the fixture, Silva acknowledged the qualities of the 24-year-old striker but stressed the need for his team to approach Bournemouth as a whole unit rather than isolating their focus.
“When I say physical side, I’m not talking about the size of the team, but the way they approach and challenge every moment of the game,” Silva explained.
“It’s not just Semenyo. If you look at the solutions they have in the frontline, it’s not just him. Of course, he’s in a good moment—last season was very good for him as well. But they are much more than just Semenyo. We have to be aware of them as a team, not just one player.”
Fulham will be aiming to build momentum when they visit the Vitality Stadium tonight, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT.
