Match Thread Everton 1-1 Fulham - Saturday 26th October - 17:30

[IV(AC)]

I’m beginning to hate Dyche’s face tbh

 

[rochdaleblue]

It was absolutely dire. It was everything we’ve come to expect of watching Everton under Dyche. Turgid dull football, long hopeful hoofs to DCL and no plan B. Big Dunc in his prime would struggle to influence the game with these tactics.

 

[Iana]

I don’t think he can have any complaints when/if his contract is not extended after that performance.
It’s not a one off under Dyche and given the way results in other matches went today,to play with such a lack of ambition is down to him.
I know we have some poor players but playing the likes of Harrison when he is consistently letting the side down is a perverse approach by Dyche.

 

[banno]

My take on the game was we were very lucky. We got outclassed football wise.

My picks today for Everton was Gana and Doucoure in the middle.
Pickford. Did his job 6
Young. Played well apart from his floaties down the line 7
Keane. Could have done better for the Iwobi goal 6.5
Tarks. see keane above 6.5
Myko. Average game for me 6
Gana. Usual steady game 7.2
Doucs. Thought he did well in the deeper position 7
Harrison. Same old. Few decent crosses but gave up possession easily 5.5
McNeil. Not at the game tonight 5
Iliman. Endeavour but Teto had him nailed 5
DCL. 1st half mr. offside man was in Basseys pocket. 5
Beto. Different and more effective type of hassling. More suited 7
Mangala. Did a job and wasn't sloppy with the ball 6
Lindstrom. Worked hard and can see him becoming integral 6

Are the last 3 years not their only wins in Goodison, ever?

I think they are yes.

Never thought I would see the day when I came out of Goodison Park feeling 'relieved' that we scraped a home draw against Fulham.
Truth is we deserved NOTHING from that game. I actually feel numb.
The only crumb of comfort is that if we had scored first and then conceded in injury time I know I would be feeling a Hell of a lot worse.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Grinding out a draw against Fulham, exiting times. Surely no one wants him to stay past the end of the season?

I don’t want him to stay past the end of today!!

 

[efcste97]

Or, an alternative view, getting a result when you've played absolutely crap is always a good sign in teams.

It was more about luck that we managed to get a result today. Made up with the result cos we were awful but there were no real positive signs from the match, and it seemed like the shape wasn’t going to change until McNeil had to come off. It might convince him to go two up top more often maybe? I doubt it though.

I'm fine with him staying until the end of his contract, it shouldn't be renewed though because our style of play will never change under him. Did his job, did it well (if he keeps us up) Time to move on under new owners and a new stadium, be arsed paying god knows what for a ST at BMD just to watch dycheball

Nope.

I remember them coming up here ss a 2nd Division, a.k.a. Championship, club in 1975 tomplsy an F.A. Cup tie.

We were top of the league…they won 2-0

Bearded fellow name of Viv Busby score for them.

They reached the Final that year…Hammers beat them.

I was there. One of my earliest visits to Goodison. I believe Bobby Moore was playing that day.

Absolutely speechless, mate. I've got no response to that.

Doucs 7? Nah mate he was terrible today, and I think he’s done ok at times for us but not today.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Just got back from the game, my take on it. Fulham bossed the game, we were cack, we got a point.

Gana was MOTM.

The mad thing is, you should hear how many times he's said "we know we can play much better". I reckon over 90% of his post match dress conferences he's said it. But he says it almost as a deflection of how bad we are, like he's trying to blag everyone he's working on the style.

He's a clueless, horrible manager to watch.

I thought he was OK but opinions differ I suppose
