Fulham boss Marco Silva was furious at his team's recent preseason performance.

The Cottagers were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea in the Premier League Summer Series friendly in the United States.

As the London club prepares for the new Premier League season, Silva was especially angry with their first half display in the US.

“It was not a good first half at all," he told the club website.

“I think our first half was not at our normal standards.

“Throughout this tournament we've shown completely different things to what we showed first half.

“Not just because we conceded two sloppy goals, but the way we started our offensive organization, our attacks were not so clear, we did not control the ball like we normally do, and we completely lost control of the game during the first half.

“Overall, we would have liked to have seen some different things this afternoon. The first half was our worst half this tournament.

“Second half was different, much more ourselves on the pitch, we created some chances as well. It was not a good game from ourselves, but this second half was better."
