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

[Eggsyblueskin]

Roy Vernon scores Everton’s second goal against Fulham in this League Division One match played at Craven Cottage, London on the 15th October 1960.

Roy Vernon is one of my all time favourite players.
Cracking ball by Collins as well , another legend.

I was hoping Onana would be shifted into his advanced role for the duration but no sign of that yet.

Even so, Doucoure can sneak you a goal and I don’t think Onana has that yet.

We'd have been less affected had Onana been suspended, for sure.

I think Onana can be a real nuisance in the opposition box but Dyche doesn't seem confident about Garner or Davies starting for him.

We'll be looking to Tarkowski or Keane for a set piece goal or Gray having a dig from outside the box today.

It’s written in the stars that DCL will play and score. McNeil will be licking his lips having him to aim at.

Having said that, I’d take a 1-0 win with an oggy of somebody’s arse.

Nervous

 

[Stanley Parker]

Difficult matches this weekend for all our rivals too.

Southampton v Palace
Spurs v Bournemouth
Wolves v Brentford
Man City v Leicester
West Ham v Arsenal
Forest v Man Utd
Leeds v Liverpool

The table could look very different by Monday night!

I cant see him playing.

McNeil is a good shout, yeah. Him and Gray can provide goal threat. We coud do with a punch from midfield though to really put Fulham on the back foot.

 

[GoldenToffee]

My arse is tender at the thought of us going a goal down and needing at least two to win. Please no.

If he’s fit then he will play for sure. Throw everything at this game to get the points then freewheel our way to safety.

I’ve been fairly confident we’ll get a win today all week but I feel a little nervous today .

The sun is shining so I’m hoping it’ll help with getting people out and about for a few beers and the ground rocking by the time the siren sounds , as make no mistake it will make a difference . A decent performance today and we should be walking away with all three points and a result that could be massive for the club .

A solid start and we’ve got this .

I’ll do my bit H.

 

[NewRadical]

This round of fixtures feels like an opportunity.

I can't see every game being an upset today with our current league rivals having difficult ties so a win is important.

Fulham have dipped recently and are without their main striker. We need to be winning home games like these.

 

[Khalekan]

Has this ever happened?

Twice that I remember.

Circa 1988 we had a marathon F.A. Cup 3rd Round (may have been 4th) tie with Sheffield Wednesday, then a pretty useful top tier team under Howard Wilkinson.

After three draws the third replay was at Hillsborough.

We were 5-0 up at half time……and there wasn’t another goal in the second half

Next round we had Boro and it took three games before we settled thst one.

And way back in 1971 on the famous day the scoreboard broke down after the last goal as we beat Saints 8-0, it was 5-0 at half time.

Has this ever happened?

5-1 when we beat Southampton 7-1. Remember they pulled one back before half time and I feared the worst. Neville Southall was subbed at half time

I’ll do my bit H.

Like you mate I’m about to shoulder my part of the effort , we’re doing our bit and I suspect a few others share as well .

Those away trips to boro were not for the faint hearted

Calvert Lewin will start today let’s hope she / they has a good game.

Pathetic.
