Match Thread Everton v Fulham - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[MACCA75]

Based on players playing utterly crap this evening there will be a few places up for grabs Wednesday so I'd expect to see......

GK Pickford (if fit)
RB Godfrey
CB Mina
CB Keane
LB Digne
CM Allan
CM Docoure
CM Davies
RW Iwobi
ST King
LW Richarlison

If Calvert Lewin is miraculously fit then King starts LW and DCL up top.

We need pace on the counter which is why I've tried to put as much in as possible. Allan will press, Doucoure can travel with the ball, Davies deserves another start, Iwobi and King will offer us outlets.

Holgate, Gomes, Richarlison should gave to wait their turn again, Rodriguez I'm not sure will be able to handle the tempo of the next two games. He certainly didn't look like he took a knock in the tackle that he went off with but we'll see.

Agree. The line up picks itself after watching that tonight.

Oh I have got that wrong then thanks for clarification please ignore my previous posts about this

Remember when we were all debating how toxic the fans at goodison were...

 

[ElGato]

Who’s uglier to watch? Newcastle? They played us off the park. Burnley? Won 3-0 yesterday, when did we last win by more than 1 goal? Fulham? Just smashed us

That was just this weekend. The league is however many months.

This is a classic case of bad game meiosis

 

[consho]

No mate yellow cards go to ten now

Thank you didn't realise

 

[BlueToff]

We are not good enough and we have more points than we currently deserve at the moment.

And that in large part down to the manager. He knows how to set us up to get points that, by rights, we shouldn't have on paper, but deserved to get.

It's hyperbole to say we're dreadful. But we were dreadful tonight and the manager set the tone with a shocking team, shocking subs and shocking tactics.

 

[mccole]

Couldn't vote on a single player.

We need drive in that midfield and actually fight.

We never put a mark on them, a tough tackle or troubled them.

Embarrassment

 

[MACCA75]

The start to both halves today was pathetic again today. We are in the dressing rooms every week.

We conceded a corner within a minute of the restart today again. Its an actual joke. What is going on.

The selection today was a pivotal error by the manager but we have some utterly gutless players. They just dont get what its about. Doubt they are one bit arsed they just embarrassed us all again.

The corners conceded in the first minute is a joke. We were about to concede one within 30 seconds again today until the ref gave us a soft free kick. (We made them wait another 90 seconds)
And as you say, we did exactly that in the second half.

Agree. The line up picks itself after watching that tonight.

That was a real kick in the teeth tonight. We're going to need to try and get 4 points minimum from Wednesday and Saturday because of tonight. I just cant see is doing that. A win tonight and I'd have snapped your hand off for 2 draws against City and the rs.

We really could be 9th/10th by next Saturday if results don't go our way.

Massively slipped up and the times we do it really does make us look like complete bottlers.

I dont get the thing were we win away supposedly because of no fans, but cant win at home - were oddly again we have no fans-make's no sense that to me, and just wont no matter what way its said lol, there is going to be a time were we go on a stretch of not winning away and that may cost us even more

 

[ForeverEverton]

We are having a great season under carlo. Playing good stuff. Well placed for eu..

Wait we lost?

Weeeerrreee craaaaaappppp

The trouble is losing to a Fulham side that have 2 wins in 23 Premier League games doesnt exactly inspire confidence in the run of games we have coming up in City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the next 4 games..... We will more than likely 9th or 10th now. Home form is very alarming, never would I have thought....

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Gomes looked like an old man tonight. The energy expended in a couple of weeks and the after effects of the Son injury indicate he is a last 15 sub option at most. He can’t start any more games.

Goodison appears to coax complacency out of a number of them.

I can only rationalise this by the way we have been playing, sitting in and hitting teams on the counter away from home but not able to do that at home...

We are bottlers. Cant cope when expected to win because we have a squad full of lazy players with a lack of belief.
