Fulham manager Marco Silva has risked an FA suspension following his criticism of referee Samuel Barrott.<\/p>\n
Silva’s side lost 3-0 away to Newcastle, with all three goals coming after the dismissal of Fulham’s Raul Jimenez in the 22nd minute.<\/p>\n
According to Silva, Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles should have been punished for an elbow on Jimenez before the striker was sent off.<\/p>\n
Barrott was taking charge of just his eighth Premier League match and Silva stated that the Premier League should appoint referee who have more experience and can handle pressure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silva said:\u00a0‘Disappointing afternoon. It was probably the quiet game Newcastle needed after the midweek Champions League game. It wasn’t our fault, the quiet game in the end.<\/p>\n

‘Before the red card it was a clear elbow from [Jamaal] Lascelles. He knew Raul was there. The elbow out. Until the 21st minute [in] all the moments, the referee didn’t give us one foul. For Newcastle, it was a free-kick every time.’<\/p>\n
Silva suggested that Barrott was unable to cope to handle the pressure of the home supporters at St James’ Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: ‘These types of games, the referee has to have the ability to handle the pressure because always with the home crowd. The Premier League should decide [upon] a referee with the experience and ability to handle pressure. This is the best example of a referee who doesn’t have the experience to handle the pressure. Any doubt, any foul, he didn’t give one. Even the elbow in the face of Raul.’<\/p>\n
Jimenez was shown a yellow card after catching Sean Longstaff but was then sent off following a VAR check.<\/p>\n
Silva suggested that a booking would have been the correct punishment.<\/p>\n
He said:\u00a0‘He lost the momentum to go in but it’s not something serious. He jumped into the player but you don’t see something serious, something wrong with the other player. A yellow is right. VAR is trying to find all these moments to give. To justify their job? I don’t know.’<\/p>\n
Fulham’s defeat to Newcastle came after consecutive 5-0 wins against Nottingham Forest and West Ham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
