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

[Mercedes]

The most amazing thing is that we're going to pull this through. I have my doubts but they will find their balls in a situation we don't foresee.

This is the way.

It's the hope that kills you.

 

[PhilM]

What a bizarre set up from the start.

To play Maupay was crazy.

I thought Garner was one of the few who at least showed something and a desire to get the ball.

Genuinelly, I'd have rather we'd kept Tosun if we're going to play Maupay as we are.

Tosun was slow, very slow.

But at least he could strike a ball with some conviction. Would have fancied him to bag at least one of the two sitters Maupay spurned today.

Don't you fff dare...

Yeah, I've given up also. But it's still darkest just before the sunrise.

Yeah. No.

Maupay runs like the Road Runner: his legs move, but he doesn't go anywhere.

I've had some sympathy for him, because he's been in a team that all season doesn't play in a way that suits him whatsoever.

However today, he got two good chances that generally he probably has been waiting for. I still remember his derby sitter he missed, that's three big sitters he's missed. Lack of confidence/gametime contributing? Possibly.

Lack of quality? for sure.

Problem is no matter how good or bad your defense and midfield are you're always going to be under pressure when there's nothing up top and it constantly breaks down.. Everybody knew this at the start of the season and even more so in January

 

[Zed Car]

Beep Beep needs a ban after voting for Maupay as motm

 

[Rodebaard]

Their third goal was actually pretty good, so can't get too upset about that. Bit like Gray's goal at city, it happens sometimes. But the other two goals - where's the midfield gone? Happened more times where they could just have a simple shot in our area. Had a go at Onana about this several times in the past, but they are all the same, slowly jogging back watching the play...

 

[Peter The Dog]

saw this as a nailed-on win.

absolutely ruined my weekend.

 

[deipnosophist]

just seen the result ...as usual, I am disappointed but unsurprised.

 

[Mase]

Going to palace and Leicester is going to be hard and could have us back in the bottom 3

 

[PhilM]

For those who've got the stomach for it, you can see that all three goals came from individual errors and certain players not showing enough determination.

 

[Obes]

Crap the lot of them, including Dyche.

Hard task staying up with these bunch of wasters.

I know i have said this a few times over the past few years. But when tom davies is one of your "creative" options to change from the bench you may aswell just chuck it in.
There is just nothing there. Bit of sweat and graft maybe. But we are so poor and so paper thin.

I know the squad is dreadful and the drop off from the best 11 to the rest is mostly monumental but that doesn’t excuse the amount of long balls aimed in or around Maupey and the opposition centrebacks, especially after Gray dropped into the midfield 5. That was Everton immediately giving Fulham the ball back 9 times out of 10.
