Match Thread Everton v Fulham (Sat 29th 15:00)

Danger game, lose this and the melts will be massive, rightfully so.

Win and it's "well you should win anyway".

it's a weird one

Fulham are going to come out and play at us, there's no doubt about that. That leaves space at the back, and DCL definitely has the pace to exploit it.

Personally, think this would be the ideal time to try Richarlison there, with Bernard left.

In theory aye, the problem is DCL has consistently shown his decision making is utter pants.

I wouldn't mind Richarlison playing there as a one off, but I really think we need Cenk in there going forward.

3-0

They are going to click today at last. Tosun to start, 4:1 Everton. Still no clean sheet though.

 

[Khalekan]

They might never have won a league game here but I recall them winning 2-0 in the Cup.

circa 1975.....might have been the season they made the Final.

Fair haired lad scored both their goals as I recall.

2nd half

Yeh wouldn't mind that either Zat.

It's a toss up. Happy enough if Tosun starts, but he needs to have a good game. If DCL starts, he has the pace to trouble Fulham, but I don't trust him to score.

We'll find out in 10 mins!

We will absolutely batter these, 5-0.........

I don’t want either to start......

But then who else?

Like I said, happy for Richarlison to be given a go there, but then does that take away from how good he has been on the left?

We have enough wingers. We need someone to put the bleeding ball in the net for a change......

 

[Blue Roo]

The only possible way we lose this is if Fulham park and counter and we get sucked in, lose the head.
Punting Ev to win by 3.

Well yeh, but we can't exactly sign someone now, can we?

Richarlison has been playing really well on the wing because he has more space and can pick up the ball facing the goal.

You can't always do that up top, and it's completely different playing there in the PL than for Brazil against El Salvador.

That being said, if we are going to try it, a defence like Fulham's is a good one to do it against!

Fulham aren't gonna sit deep, they're going to come at us.

That's equally as worrying for me, because our defending is poor.

We need to be clinical today.
