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

[JimmyJeffers]

Holgate was our best CB last season why do people keep forgetting that.

Like goldfish

 

[BlueToff]

I think it'll work better with James in than it did with Gylfi who does very little midfield work and Gomes.

Well okay, but the issue is still runners around James so he has options - last thing we need is him dropping really deep.

 

[Marius57]

Only 2 keepers. Disgrace

 

[Bob Latchford]

That’s a potentially ropey enough starting line up.
Hopefully get off to a fast start and an early goal.
Must win this

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Our lineup killed us never mind anyone else. Davies and Iwobi galloping fullbacks

Davies came on and steadied the ship actually when we were rocking.

 

[Zatara]

Looks like were going with a high line today to push them back and have more of an open game.

Not sure id have gone for coleman...

 

[BlueToff]

No, so 1 game in the last 6 years wasn't must win.

But lets go back to your point, are the 3 points versus Fulham worth more than the 3 points on offer versus City?

Are any games in the next month considering not must win?

You spoke of context and you proved your point, now show why this Fulham game is worth more points than City.

The only thing is 'picking your fights'.

3 points is 3 points. But, we're definitely more likely to be able to take 3 points v Fulham than City.

Strange team from carlo , but he seems to get them more right than wrong so lets see how it goes.

 

[Nymzee]

Why an interview with Lookman about his Everton time? Was here about 30 seconds.

I know, it has question marks.

 

[Bigduke1234]

I’m actually quite curious to see how they do as a pair at CB, if we get them forming a good partnership that’s centreback sorted for a long time

Carlo should be telling them to lay down a marker to Keane and Mina, Godfrey to score a header and the forum go nuts

No I don’t think I will do that thanks, since I don’t believe that it’s worth worth more than they are. Obviously we get 3 for each.

But again the context of following Fulham with 2 not only much more difficult games, but games that could really allow us to kick on we’re we to win one or both, makes it imperative (perhaps more so than a hypothetical game against Fulham in other circumstances) that we take these 3 points. The “kick on” part resulting from a win in the tougher games only really happens if we beat Fulham beforehand.

My point was just that a sweeping generalisation of “all games are as important as each other” is patently untrue.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Hopefully he’s told them full on Blitzkrieg for first 45 so he can put king & Bernard on if we are comfortable position.
Richie brace in first half.

 

[Sharpattack]

We need to score at least 2 because Lookman will certainly score

I think they are going to be our long term CBs. Maybe. No idea.
