What a game from the Greek Scouser! Should have done better for their 3rd goal, but he compensated by doing that for Trent's winner.

Didn't the Fulham player head the ball out? Tsmikas just contested it - from what I saw.

Nah, he was outjumped at the back post.

Yes, but he made a proper challenge that destabilized the Fulham defender. Had he done that for the goal, the ball wouldn't have been directed toward the ground and there was a chance for a save by Caoimh. Same player too, wasn't it?

Nevertheless, a good game by Kostas.

I was worried the ref might have blown for a foul. Relieved when he didn't. We've all seen those given before. Was made up for him that it wasn't a foul because he had a good game aside from his poor defending on Decordova-Reid's goal.

Same sort of contact when he was outjumped for Fulham's third.

Consistent from the ref...

I don’t blame him one bit for that 3rd goal. He’s not really someone known for their aerial prowess. He was absolutely immense today

he's done decently - hopefully this extended run in the team will give him the confidence he needs. Tsimakas also shows us how valuable Robertson is.

Robertson is a very smart player and I don't think he gets the credit for it from the wider audience.

Deserves credit for his performances the last few weeks. Virgil was my MOTM, but he was probably second in line. He broke up play well and delivered a few decent set pieces

Yep, watched him in a couple of cup games live at the start of the season and thought he was really poor.

But he's played very well last few games, just shows how players generally benefit from having a steady run of games.

Looks sharp and on top form again. Loads of noise in the first few games of this run and this just shows you that every player needs some time to get into rhythm and match fitness. He's showing how bloody good he is with those regular minutes.

had an excellent game, a constant threat going forward, and made a hell of an interception late on to avoid their man getting a clear run on Kell.

well done - once again - Tsimi.

He's getting better and better. Robbo will have to work to get in the team, it wan't be a straight walk in. Which is good to give him time to recover properly and get fit.

he is a great example of players needing games to get up to speed.
A month or so ago i think he was poor but he needed the gametime to get his rythem.
He has been excellent last few weeks. Done very well against Kudus who is a very good player

Incredibly grateful for his shift during Robertsons absence.
Any dip down the left was more due to lack of cohesion between him and Diaz than anything else.
Really solid performances and hitting good form just when we need it most.
