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

[Caolam]

It is as if the club doesn’t want to play two games a week. The lazy gutless wonders think that they get a fortune to play once per week, do a bit of training and then have the rest of the time off. Can’t put a bit of effort in and jeopardise their leisure time.

We shoot ourselves in the leg. Can't take we can lose against Newcastle (twice), Fulham, WU at home. All of this games were the same, completely lack of energy and fighting spirit. Too many midfielder players yesterday, Carlo thought probably it would give us more control, but it was quite opposite. Fulham too easily could brake us via flanks and didn't need to think much about defence cause we were so slow in both ways.

It wasn't so much the defeat but the manner of it. Words fail me.

Davies MOM. No other options for me.

Didn’t watch this, thank goodness. Would have ruined my weekend. Mental how you can go from beating Spurs to capitulating against one of the worst sides in the league in only a few days.

I'm just surprised people are surprised.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Woke up absolutely fuming about this still.

Bottlers.

No point fuming over it, can’t change what happened

 

[ChesterBlue]

I'm convincing myself that the performance was due to cup-tie fatigue and Carlo's distraction from getting his safe nicked.
We'll come out against City all guns blazing!

No chance we get anything from City, so I don’t care if they decide to run against them. Pointless doing well against the big teams if they can’t be arsed against the jarg teams like Newcastle and Fulham

 

[MACCA75]

I love him, but some of these defeats under Carlo have been worse than anything under Silva, Koeman or Allardyce tbh.

When did 2 bottom 4 teams ever rock up at Goodison and beat us without breaking sweat?

It’ll happen again, that’s the worst thing. How many ‘wake up’ calls do this team need?

 

[Magus]

I am still fuming. This was our best chance of points on the board, and instead of playing the strongest team available Carlo gutted them. We have very little chance of getting anything from City or Liverpool, so I would have gone full strength against Fulham, rested key players against City, and then go more solid at Anfield. The way things are now I expect us to lose both and probably lose to Southampton as well.

A complete canning of the worst culprits, ie complete dropping from match day squads

 

[McMagicT]

Not one player deserves to be mentioned for MOM. I really do believe that Coleman & Digne should ask for transfers, Holgate has a screw-loose
he seems to have a smile on his face when he does something calamitous, I remember him laughing and joking last year after losing to the RS
30 seconds after the game. I love 'touch players', but this James Rodriguez is a waste of space, he's is not in the game enough and gets so many
injuries. Our manager is taking the piss out of us.

 

[davids]

Easy team talk for Parker. "This lot have conceded 7 in their last 2 just go out and play like you did in the second half at home"...and now it's 9 in 3. Everton eh!

 

[CharliePotato]

I asked the very same question yesterday. Apparently, it's the name for tactic of two ranks of rigid four playing deep to restrict the space for the opposition.

Oh, it's not a new tactic is it... it's playing deep.

Joke init, can’t stand all these new hipster shouts.
