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

[Azza]

1-3

DCL scores in first 10 minutes, gets subbed at half time. Cue a calamity Keane special to start the second half.

Clearly looks like we’re going to be ultra cautious with Dom again, so depressingly I think we will be starting with Maupay up front. Also wouldn’t be surprised if he opts with the experience of Keane alongside Tarkowski. Would play Branthwaite myself.

It will be very similar to the starting line up today considering it sounds like Danjuma will be on the bench at best.

Nah give Dom sixty minutes I reckon

So DCL’s baby is due this week. There will probably be an announcement at Goodison on Saturday at about 15:00….“Can Mr Calvert-Lewin please contact the nearest steward” lol

 

[knowing your history]

Bench will be comical for this...two keepers, about four CBs and then two youth strikers.

Fulham had likes of Mitrovic on theirs today so would imagine their gameplan will be keep things tight for an hour and then bring him on after an hour.

With our lack of players in by then and injury issues, a draw would be a nice start. Would be a struggle for more than that.

Hard not to see anything other than another slog of a season. We are helped by there being another 7 or 8 teams who look very poor on paper at the moment too

I have to be honest I really enjoyed my Everton free weekends. It’d be cool to start enjoying Everton weekends again.

2 goal threats in a starting 11? Have to be more progressive than that. You don’t need to play Onana, Garner, and Gana. Too duplicative

Iwobi scored against leicester
Onana scored against Stoke
Young scored against Wigan

There’s more than 2 goal threats there

Onana hit the post today
Gana had a long range attempt at goal
Doucoure almost scored

Can swap garner for Doucoure but you lose a tidy player who can create and keep possession

I agree. Our defense looks better organised but we are woefully short of goal. We definitely need Danjuma fit to play alongside DCL against Fulham as Maupay offers nothing. Chermiti will need time if he signs.
