Match Thread Fulham 1-2 Everton. Sat Feb 7th. 3pm

I'd rather give the new lad a go to begin with. Feel like Dibling would just come on and do what he's done for the last 6 months.

It would be a bit strange of Moyes to throw down the gauntlet to Dibling and not give him chance to respond imo.

Keane plays it straight to Fulham player when he should just launch it. Having said that Tarkowski has been poor as well. Get Keane the eff out of there bring Patto on as a proper right back and put O'brien in his proper position.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

This is what happens when you set up too defensive and have players in wrong positions against a team that is only equal to you. You give them the undeserved advantage and make look better which gives them a boost and then all of a sudden you are chasing the game again. Sick of it tbh.

We are going to mess this European chance up if we don't become more positive very soon.

Europe's gone mate, not achieving that with this negative mindset manager

Came into the game more as it went on and could have had a goal or two. But they need to improve at half time as Fulham could easily be two or three up.

Tarkowski looks a bit shaky.

They hit the bar twice with Pickford beaten, Pickford made a great save and also stopped a one on one and Raul Jimenez missed an open goal. They’ve absolutely destroyed Everton in that half and it’s very, very lucky it’s just one goal. Another shambles of a 45 minutes to add to the manager’s collection this season.

I’m sitting here absolutely fuming. How the f*** does Keane start ahead of Branthwaite.?.

 

[Blue Roo]

Armstrong has probably been our best player??

Not far off, Garner for me so far

 

[brittcop1]

I'd be grateful I had a manager who cared to keep me fit and let me have a good career, it's Fulham away in a dead season it's not the end of the world.

If he cared to keep me fit....after playing him 90 minutes in the wrong position??? Stop defending this has been...hes just taking the pi$$ these days

 

[brucemate]

Moyes once again has embarrassed himself here. The players he's got available and he throws that team out there. How many second half minutes is he happy to forfeit before he makes the changes he should have started with in the first place?

Unfortunately for us fans, it is week after week. I honestly cannot fathom out what game plan he is trying to impose or develop but it is not working yet he persists with it.

 

[Taifi gorm]

Armstrong has probably been our best player??

Sarcasm lad

 

[Stephen Gibson]

So many issues. O'brien isn't a right back, Armstrong isn't a winger, The passing ability of Tarkowski is becoming a liability, Ndiaye basically gave up on doing any tracking back when he was on the right, Gana leaving holes centrally, the list goes on.
Put a bloody right back at right back. Bring O'brien back in the centre, bring on Branthwaite for either of Tarkowski or Keane, Gana is on a booking & playing poor so move Armstrong in the middle & try George.

We will be 2 down by the 60th at this rate. Act now Moyes.

Agreed. I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t get time this afternoon.

 

[stretford blue]

Last three games we should have been put to the sword by the opposition in the first half hopefully we can change it around 2nd half

 

[NathDogg]

Bar a few mins, we’ve been totally battered.

Let’s see if the manager feels that way.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

This team next season HAS to have O’Brien and Branthwaite as the CB’s with two new modern fullbacks, otherwise we may as well pack it in.

 

[Efcjake]

Don’t worry we’ll nick at least a draw here and Moyesettes can conveniently forgot what we just witnessed for 45mins (on top of the 90mins last week) and extoll how great he his after making the subs that should have started the game.

With so much left to play for this season, it’s hardly surprising he’s going with try not to lose 1st.

Voted neutral in that poll did you
