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

[murphy89]

Awful game. That said, not sure Fulham deserved to win. They controlled the general play but didn’t create many chances considering - if anything thought we had the better ones. MOTD highlights seemed to confirm that view for me too as it was mainly all us despite our low possession.

Not sure we deserved an equaliser as such but think a draw was the fair result.


Question marks on Tarkowski at the moment

Nah we didn't deserve a single thing from that aberration, Fulham without being that good shouldve won by 2 or 3 because we were really that bad and got let odd by their profligacy.

However I have zero sympathy for them, given they spawned a smash and grab in the same fixture last season.

They couldn’t have won by 2 or 3 cos they didn’t have 2 or 3 good chances. They had all of the ball but didn’t really do anything with it.

We were awful no doubt, but Fulham couldn’t beat us. It was hardly as if we were backs to wall, clearing off the line and Pickford making save after save is it?

 

[murphy89]

I’m defending our performance btw. The two things can be true at once. We were absolutely abysmal but Fulham weren’t great either. Lots of nice passing but nothing of note.

Agree to disagree, they had plenty of good situations they messed up.

It's all moot anyway, I'm more concerned at how bad we were in the first place, and even moreso the fact it appeared the manager has told us to play like that.

I agree here. It was a great opportunity to put a gap on the bottom 3 and the players just looked disinterested.

Thought Fulham cocked up by taking Pereira and Rowe off.

we all knew Fulham were going to score and we could have played all day and not scored, Fulham didn't even get out of 2nd gear.

Dreadful on the eyes that's all

We had more shots on target than them.

 

[PITA]

It’s all right lads, here comes Beto.
We are saved

Good shout.

Most worrying is that the fundamental problems are still there:
1. Inability to defend crosses.
2. Huge gaps in midfield.

These things should have been solved by now. Dyche doesnt have the answers. That was rank. No excuses.

 

[HappyJack]

Theres a culture at Everton which says ‘They will be happy if we win an occassional game. We can get away with it’. This has infected Everton for 30 years and shows no sign of abating.

Thank goodness we only had 2 minutes of injury time left after the equaliser because I have no doubt that if it had been 10, we would have been hard pressed to hold on

As long as Sean Dyche is the manager this is the performances you are likely to get more often than not....
