Honestly' i have never seen a better goal than that one from Muniz it was sublime and brilliant! Okay' he doesn't score a hatful but the goals he has scored so far have been picture-book Roy of the Rovers stuff. The second Muniz came on he was a nightmare and defenders just find him a difficult costomer to handle. If Muniz had scored 15 by now he would have been more in demand and it may have been difficult to keep him. Muniz is quickly becoming a cult hero and his name is chanted all around the Cottage now. The look on Hugh Grants face lit up after our first goal for sure. Funnily enough i don't think that was a penalty against Bassey who did enough to put his shoulder across the ref was right no penalty. We need more from the middle with both Pereira and Smith Rowe in there for sure but it is not happening. Willian was his brilliant best and i thought his curler was in for sure. At age 36 he is still brilliant but we need more from the likes of Smith Rowe. Do let's here more from the 'Observer' who's name suggest he knows something about football?

All present and correct Owen. Agree with you regarding Muniz, he’s becoming very reliable. I personally have been impressed with some of his delicate layoffs. I’m not sure but I reckon his goals to minutes ratios must be some of the best in the league. The goals themselves can be things of elegance and highly skilled.On the question of ESR it really is disappointing that whilst he shows brief examples of his quality he remains very sporadic with his contributions. I hope very much that he will come good.

Forgot to say, I know very little, just old git who has watched a lot of football at the Cottage and beyond over the past 70 years. Can only comment on what I think I see, beyond that zilch:)

Observer, don't give up on ESR just yet, as he is a talented boy, and I'm sure that he will come good, but probably not until next season. Most of us, if not all of us would have booted Muniz out of our club by now, but Marco to his credit, must have had faith in him, and it is beginning to show dividends, as he is proving to be a really good striker. ESR, hopefully will justify Marco's faith in the long run so let's just wait and see.

We have a great partnership in Raul and Muniz. His partnership with Raul can probably last another season with Muniz getting more minutes. They compliment each other so well and as long as they are happy to share the shirt, not sure another striker is top of our priority for the summer. Muniz surprised many of us and he looks BIGGER, STRONGER, SMARTER and CALMER by the match. He BOSSED the Spurs defenders today! He's been patient and a fantastic dressing room character. I hope we renew his contract in the summer as it only has 2 years left.

Is muniz becoming our new mitro same sort of style such a likeable character seems to enjoy his football and ffc and the fans think we saw everything there today lovely touches from our samba boys suicidal defending two great goals last 15 minutes threatened to run riot spurs just. Fell apart could have scored five in that time ffc rampant from the minute muniz came on spurs could not contain him

Nice to see the support for Muniz here guy's after his iffy start for Fulham and i think he is aware more goals are needed from him. Every striker worth their salt wants to score 30 goals plus and not just our strikers, we need more and better assists for all our strikers. Big respect to Observer who is a long time supporter of Fulham and i think he might be the oldest on here. Observer' i hope we come through what is in front of us, starting with Crystal Palace and win the FA Cup which is more prestigious more than the Milk Cup, which Newcastle won today...

He gets in the right places you need to be to score goals. His goal today, watch his movement, he win a header outside the box then stealthily move into the box in a position to score. That was not luck that was great intelligence. Everyday he looks better and better.
