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

[Gilbert..]

Ffs you just know silva will come and take points off this club. Its got Everton stamped all over it.

Ok thats me trying to double bluff karma.

Cue DCL....

I cant see him playing any game time this season tbh.

 

[davek]

For me, it all depends upon whether DCL starts, if so then Iwobi to replace Doucoure and push Gray out to the right (with Patterson in for Coleman and Myko in at LB).

If no DCL, then I'd have Gray up front and bring in Garner for Doucoure (Patterson and Myko at FBs).

Either way 2-0 to the Blues

That's a poor backline with those two starting. We can cope with one maybe but not with two.

The pair of them are terrible FBs.

We obvioulsy have a striker problem that needs solving this summer, but very close behind that is the FB situation. If Coleman retires we literally have no competent FBs at the club. We need to get shut of those two and buy two FBs who can do both sides of the FB game in this day and age.

We're all looking at it as being a should win and a must win, but Fulham have the potential to come along and look like the better team. Dyche has done more than can be expected, but that doesn't change the fact we are a poor and limited side.

 

[steven]

I think DCL will start. Think dyche will risk him especially with doucoure out. Might as well play him if he’s trained as he’s as likely to break down next week as in a game.

Pickford
Godfrey Keane tarkowski mykolenko
Gray Onana gueye Iwobi McNeill
DCL

If DCL doesn’t start then I think garner starts and gray plays up top.

Just a win by any means necessary. The Brentford game was a killer and think this is Going to be another excruciating watch.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Win this blues…please!

 

[blue to the bone]

I'm not sure if Fulham without Mitrovic are a better side then us been honest.
They had a very good season but have faded away .
They have 2 or 3 quality players but other that that they aren't brilliant.
We will be up for this, crowd Will help and I think we will intimidate them a bit . Scoring of course will be the issue .

 

[cronullasharks]

Just hope they're already on holidays so to speak.

Edit: Fulham obviously, our heroes have been on holidays for about 3 years.

 

[Sharpattack]

I feel great about this game. In fact, I’m as confident as I was just before we played Villa at home.

 

[Swartzy]

2 Early goals please lads. Mcneil, Gray and then DCL off the bench to finish it off. If Only !!!

Start Garner and he'll do the buisness for us

 

[Jeff Jones]

Hope Patterson plays and has a stormer just to shut certain folk up on how bad he is. Better option going forward especially at home. Need all the attacking threat in Saturday we can get. Dont think Dyche thinks hes ready and Godrey will switch over though

The only reason he isn't the regular Scotland right back is because the captain of his former club, Rangers is.

He seemed to do OK for us before he was injured and I, for one, am quite happy for him to get in.

He is a fullback and I don't know of any other candidates who are are.

Tavernier?

He ain’t Scottish.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Tavernier?

He ain’t Scottish.

I thought he was. Anyway, it's a Rangers fullback who'd been keeping him out.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Just please don't bring on Calvin if we're losing 2-0 and there is 8 minutes left.

Start him or bring him on at half time depending on the current score - winning or drawing, he can wait until 60 minutes, losing, get him on.

Tbh the comments from Dyche didn't sound like he's guaranteed to start, but surely he must. Dyche was going on about him needing minutes as if that's what he needs before he's ready, but given the alternatives he must start.
