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

[ForeverEverton]

I can remember about 3 other players missing sitters but it's fine to blame one.

Agree, Maupay is the main culprit but Keane, Iwobi, Doucoure, and Gueye all not good enough for a steady PL club. As long as we have all them we will be relegation contenders.

We won`t be getting rid of them all this season... Will we be the big club to go?

As I said, get used to this end of the table....

How have we not won that game, never mind getting beat. Ridiculous. Get the transfers done ffs

Was disappointed in Patterson or should it be Dyche? The narrowness of our defending had Fulham scoring a goal and almost 2 others because Patterson found himself in a CB position on all occasions. Not sure if Patterson was under instruction by Dyche to do that but it was suicide

I care not for anyone that says 'we should have won comfortably' because we did not. End of. Nil point.

 

[matty1878]

it’s one of those games sorry but we didn’t deserve to lose

 

[Del-boy]

Don’t worry, Villa away next. I hope they slap the barcodes though, would cheer me up slightly.

 

[Toffeepot]

Shocking finishing, defensive brainfart and a perfectly good goal disallowed
Horrible start that

Ratings:

Pickford - 7 - Had nothing to do at all and not at fault for the goal.
Patterson - 1 - Absolutely abject performance, one of the worst full back performances I've had the displeasure of watching. Cowardly in possession and just so slow, negative and woeful in his execution.
Tarkowski - 7 - Nothing to do, no real mistakes.
Keane - 6 - Nothing to do yet still looked capable of costing us in the first half.
Young - 6 - Defensively fine, but nobody to link up with going forward.
Gueye - 5 - Nothing good or bad about his performance.
Onana - 5 - See Gueye.
Doucouré - 4 - Unacceptable to pass up that opportunity he had. No impact on the game aside from that.
Garner - 7 - Think he was our best outfield player but was too often hindered by Patterson destroying anything that was received off him, or Iwobi going short on set pieces then killing the attack dead.
Iwobi - 5 - His usual crap performance where he has no conviction in anything he does. One good sprint in the first half being his highlight.
Maupay - 0 - We all knew it, yet the manager didn't. Any League One striker gets a hat trick from those chances.

Dyche - 0 - Woeful selection, terrible in-game management by leaving it far too late with his subs, then brought an extra stressing attacking player on with a whopping 6 minutes to play. Gave Maupay 70 minutes when he shouldn't have even made it out of tv tunnel after half time. Atrocious start to the season.

but we didn’t deserve to did we?

score and we win we didn’t we lost

We ain't scoring with what we got

 

[Bally's Boots]

Well, we're back in our "comfort zone!"

 

[andy4efc]

Lol, bizarre post.

Reality is that we lost. ‘Should have won comfortably’ is an opinion, not fact or reality.

He didn't say it was a fact, he said it was a reality. He also didn't say that "should have won comfortably" means that the scoreline gets overturned.

He is 100% correct with all his bullet points.

Obviously lacking that goal threat we all knew we needed but can take a lot of positives from that performance. We badly lack balance on the right hand side and pace in the midfield.

 

[spectateur]

Here we go again. Same old same.

 

[Fralahna]

I would've played Danjuma from the start, Maupay is a waster

Danjuma, who was injured a short while back and probably not match fit enough to start a game?

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

as expected, thought we played well in stages but not clinical enough - should have won that one really
