If not for Fulham's chaotic implosion last time out, they would have been dumped out of the FA Cup, and would have had very few complaints about it either.

Even though they won, Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha was named man of the match after dominating the midfield for much of the game before being let down by his teammates.
Ahead of the game, Ten Hag eased concerns about missing the suspended Brazilian, insisting that his side already had a track record of playing without him and winning.
"We had many more games without Casemiro," he insisted at a press conference.
