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

[Walken]

Doucoure is a big asset for us as he was last season. It baffles me that people focus on errant passes. If we were in the business of possession based football I'd understand, but we're not.

If he doesn't score or assist the boo boys are out and refuse to look at his general play with anything other than premeditated bias. People don't like being wrong.

I like how you haven't even given him the respect in spelling his name correctly. I too will now know him as Maupy.

How do you spell it lol lol

That's exactly what it is.

If we were linked with a player like Doucoure now most people would be happy with that.

Almost certain I said he was tosh when we were linked.

Hes anti-football, him and Iwobi are where chances go to die.

His goals later in the season were a much needed contribution to keep us alive, but scrutiny of his errant passes is not overly critical, he routinely derailed offensive breaks because he would botch simple passes and send them right to the opposing team, we also conceded goals because of wild passing. I'm nor expecting him to be prime pirlo just pass the ball 5 feet forward to an open everton player.

Anyone have the odds of how many times Dyche will rub his forehead during the presser?

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Can’t wait for that BBC chap that always sounds full of a cold to ask him what he thinks about the RS’s summer transfer dealings and the Harry Kane situation.

Finally some football is coming.

It's going to be a tough season ...

Live Press Conference and the wrong date for the match in the top corner of the stream.

This promises to be a special season.

They seriously need a new IT team at the club, whoever does it now is just hopeless, always an issue of sorts.

As I've said before mate, if we were a team that passed the ball around a lot then there'd be no place for Doucoure. But we're not. We need a MF who can get around the pitch doing bits and pieces getting a foot in here and there and get up into the opposition box and make a nuisance of himself and try and grab a goal.

That's what he does.

If we didn't have Doucoure I'd be concerned, let's put it that way.

You must have been a picture at Goodison against Bournemouth when that howitzer of Doucoure's flew in...sitting there gnashing your teeth surrounded by 40,000 ecstatic Everton fans.
