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

[knowing your history]

Disagree big time there. There's a big difference, there's more structure and organisation and we're quick to counter with a idea of what to do. We actually look better on the ball as well. Biggest problem is the final ball.

Start of last season team conceded just 7 goals in first 8 prem games so will be doing very well to better that record this time.

Defensively things only went haywire under Tory Boy from the two Bournemouth games in November as you also had clean sheets at Fulham and v Palace in the October.

I remember that Fulham game and I'm pretty sure mitrovic had over ten shots which is ridiculous

Apologies if missed it but what's the update on Tarky, is he out ??

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Dont see much of a difference to be honest in style just think we will be more organised.

Desire/effort and knowing their job/role is ten times better than under lampard

 

[Blue83]

It's going to be one of those agonisingly frustrating 1-0 wins for us

Dom starts

We weren’t conceding goals but felt like teams were having millions of shots, Pickford was very busy, sitters were being missed. We weren’t defending well. It was inevitable that the floodgates would open and they did. Frank was given far to long to close them, and failed.

We havent been really tested in pre-season. Still feels like our managers are always trying to increase the attacking intent bit by bit, but one notch too high and we get massacred by very basic transition goals, so it gets dialled back again to grind out some ugly points.

Willian and Mitrovic are desperate to leave, so hopefully it’s not a happy camp.

Huh? Didn’t Willian legit just decide to sign a 1 year extension to stay at Fulham?

Dom starts

But does he finish?

 

[dutchblue54]

But does he finish?

he can only play 60min max i guess judging on comments from Dyche. So start him or bring him on at HT and let Maupay start.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

He extended in July, but we all know deep down what Willian is like after what he did to Spurs when he joined Chelsea.

 

[dCahill17]

If Maupay starts we will lose, guaranteed. 1 goal in 40 starts for Everton and Brighton. And his all round game is a disgrace. He should never play for us ever again.

McNeil Injured, Danjuma fighting for fitness, Gray who scored 12% of our league goals is being sold.

Chermiti who people think if he scores one or two all season we will be doing well won’t even have a full week with the squad.

Let’s hope DCL starts, and lasts more than 45 minutes. The first four games of the season are very important we have to do better than last years fixtures and we are in [Poor language removed] state at the moment.

Yeah he’s since had a Saudi offer so is crying to go there.

Only what Dyche said, I reckon he'll be ok he walked off. Probably more of an impact injury
