Match Thread Fulham v Everton (Sunday 22 Nov 12:00)

[TheBigIguana]

What we need is another forward option with pace.

I agree there but for me a wide player not a striker. I know Walcott probably asked out but we should have said no.

James was a passenger NEA

He was instrumental in us scoring twice so I'll take it.

At this though no striker on the bench isn't even an issue because they'd have to be seriously top class to make it worth taking Dom off the pitch.

Yeah DCL was still one of our most important players even at 3-2. Winning fouls and holding the ball up, relieving pressure on the defence.

If we take him off for say Kean on 80 mins, we lose that game imo.

 

[Steve EFC]

Something is badly wrong because no matter who plays for us the same old problems with confidence and bottling games against awful teams persists.

No idea how it ends. We have a genuinely world class manager, a Brazilian international striker and a Colombian superstar, yet it's still barely enough.

It's just baffling.

That’s the problem, you’ve just named the extent of our squad’s source of creativity.

The other problem we have is defensively we are s*#t and always look like conceding.

the only positive with Jan transfer window looming is our problems are obvious.

Even Walcott would have been a good option today it's definitely an area we are sadly lacking

 

[Ring master]

Aye, convincing victory...

Yep lol, get that win all all costs and if its giving us heart attacks i will take it, though 1st half we were pretty decent a lot of that. 2nd half not good at all

 

[toffeepie1878]

How many changes of underwear have we gone through by now..
2nd half was really dire - Fulham are going to get relegated and Everton really need to buck up if they have any aspirations of finishing in the top 6 - in the 2nd half we made Fulham look like Bayern Munich and that is pretty worrying for me, I don't know if Gordon gave Carlo the middle finger when he went into his office but it sure looks like it

 

[R.Reddington]

James was a passenger NEA

He created 2 goals. As long as he’s doing that he can be a passenger. He was probably tired.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I disagree. I think some players certainly battled hard. DCL, Davies, even doucoure were winning free kicks and managing to break fulhams play up. And while Fulham had lots of the ball, they werent creating clear chance after clear chance.

Agree Lewin battled and I would say Davies had a go, but as a team we didn't, we were sloppy with the ball and made the wrong decisions when we did have it, we just kept giving it back to Fulham, we looked all over the gaff at the back whenever Fulham got into the final third. All about opinions though mate.

His name is Gordon

Agree mate still baffled we let Theo and Kean out as we have seen no Richy no pace. We need a forward with pace who can play across the front three. We also need a right back but that might have to wait till next summer.

 

[Preki]

At this though no striker on the bench isn't even an issue because they'd have to be seriously top class to make it worth taking Dom off the pitch.

The trouble is we can't rest him even for 5 minutes . Even a half decent wide man would have stretched them at the end.
Pleased with the win but Fulham are like a Championship manager team of odds and Sods. No quality at all.

Agree mate we need people to stretch teams you cannot rely on just one player like Richy doing that on his own.

He was poor and lost possession for the penalty.all I saw was three team goals if anyone could take credit it was Iwobi, Digne and Richarlison

Should have kept vlasic
