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

[billybeeru]

Davies, Gomes and Doucoure need to do more here. Docucoure tends to get better as the game goes on so I’m not worried about him but the other two need to step up.

 

[Kirkdale]

Fulhams keeper loves toeying it into the family enclosure

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Digne down. Looks hurt ffs.

Not having a go but we need to get realistic with how we expect us to play. Have said for ages.. you don’t just turn on attractive progressive football. So a team like Fulham comes along we do what we always know.. try soak up the pressure and slowly work our way into creating a chance.

Fulham don’t deserve that level of respect but it’s how we play.

Modern football is all about spells. Is it too much to ask to start the game with an attacking aggressive spell?

I hate this poking it about at the back. They may as well pass it to Olsen and get him to launch a big one.

 

[Obes]

Three centre mids playing in a straight line next to one another is not gonna work when in possession. Too static everywhere.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Passing game is non existent.
That's why it is all them.

 

[Azza]

Coleman giving the ball away wasn't the funniest part about that it was the fact he was starting to dribble backwards!

 

[blue to the bone]

I'm the forever hopeful that Everton is changing their old ways and are learning how to make things easy for themselves, and us. Eventhough it doesn't look like it at the moment

They like to make the fans suffer .
You will soon learn

Great turn and pass from Davies then.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Maybe not

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Lads, what time is kickoff?
This warmup has gone on for ages.

 

[No8Bally]

Dullsville Arizona this game up to now

 

[superkeeper]

McManaman, it can still be a foul even if it’s accidental

 

[PhilM]

Coleman and Gomes, horrendous start from the pair.

Without wanting to be too cynical, I rarely these days expect Coleman to put in two solid back to back performances because I doubt he's got the legs for it.
