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

[Toffe3m4n]

Sounds like Richy might be up front.

I doubt it to be honest. I think the team that started against Arsenal warrants another go here, I'd be very surprised if he changed it.

 

[Ivo]

Drop DCL. Play richarlison up front and Bernard on the left.

 

[blue to the bone]

Watched Fulham against Watford last week. They were terrible for most of it.
Mitrovic a threat.
If we play like the arsenal game. We win.

 

[zook]

I will get destroyed for this... but anyway,


Pickford
Kenny Keane Zouma Digne
Gueye Baines
Walcott Sigurdsson Bernard
Richarlison

Leighton doesn’t give the ball away, technically he is great, works really hard for the team and he has a defensive mindset. At the minute its just not working in the middle, and I think he could excel... cue Martinez / my abuse

Wouldn't be too against Baines in midfield. Obviously it's a bit of a gamble but I can't envision it being a disaster giving his experience and technical ability.

 

[windymiller]

That’s not a bad shout
Need to man mark Seri though

His toenails will be giving him pyar grief in this weather. Just stand on his big toe one minute after kick off!

Tosun back in for me as we’ll have more possession being the home team. I’d like to see Bernard in the 10 and Sigg in 8

 

[LEONARD]

Anyone expecting us to get off to a flyer, and be at least 3-0 up at half time?

Me neither, we seem incapable of storming teams from the first whistle, we start diffident and slow, and end the game in the same manner.

Depressing.

More possession like against Huddersfield?

 

[Mikey O]

With the players we've got, things will turn sooner or later; hopefully it will be against Fulham.

Thought we surprised Arsenal a little bit in the first half last week but other than that I'm with you.

I would much rather play like that and get tossed than ever play like we did any given game last season...

Mitrovic a threat.
If we play like the arsenal game. We win.

If we play like that we create loads of chances without scoring.

Not necessarily. You create chances some days you take em and some day you don't. It's creating them is they key.

 

[navidson]

Whatever team we put out - it'll end up 1-1

 

[Leeboy1974]

We have to play richarlison up top dcl tosun and niasse not good enough

Pickford
Kenny Keane zouma baines
Walcott gueye sig digne
Bernard
Richarlison

 

[Coggy]

We are showing signs of improvement , with new signings still to come in.
I will get slated for this , but we win 4-2.
