Marco Silva feels Rodrigo Muniz is getting “better and better” after the Fulham forward starred in a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion.
Muniz claimed his fifth Premier League goal in five games with a clinical header which came after his assist for Harry Wilson earlier long-range strike at Craven Cottage. Adama Traore opened his account for the season during four added minutes in the second half.
Silva lauded Muniz’s magnificent performances over the past month.
“They were great performances. Rodrigo is getting better and better. He’s getting stronger which is really difficult for the defenders to deal with. We know that if we provide for him inside the box then he’s really dangerous as well.
“We expected Brighton to play man on man across the pitch and to press us and we knew we had to play behind that pressure. To have a player like Rodrigo to link up our game and build our attack is really important. The way he’s improving in all aspects of the game is really good for us and for him he’s a happy boy as you’d expect and I think there’s even more to come from him.”
Well done Fulham following the beating of UTD I am especially please for Muniz his all round play way beyond his age. I hope Fulham fans look at his team play apart from scoring so when scoring slows down they will not come down on him because his effort for the team will still be there, Muniz has a lot more to offer Fulham I Just hope we can hold on to him.

What an improvement it’s crazy. He has gone from lost to outstanding. He and the coaching team deserve huge praise. He’s looking a physical handful and the ball is sticking to him when played up. I loved the way the crowd chanted Muniz for Wilson’s goal in recognition of the work he did. The love is certainly there! I think Sasha deserves huge praise too for the way he’s stepped in with little fuss and held the midfield together.
Perreira had 2 glorious chances in the second half to make an impact and fluffed his lines again. He’s a lucky boy if he goes the season starting every week if you ask me.

Thanks Dave, it is good to see someone else is showing appreciation for Muniz the few chances he had when Metro was here I could see the talent he had in his hold up play, his attitude to his fellow players I think supporters were looking at his size and forgetting his age then he went on loan also suffer injuries now he is fit, getting playing time, scoring, defending and assisting we have all that is required of him congrats to him and staff now bring back STANSFIELD next season. COYW.
Hope we are patient with him, he looking like the real deal. Does anyone knows the duration of his contract?
In 2021 he signed a 5 years contract with the club having the option of another year.
