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

So I guess it’ll be more of 3-2-5 with Coleman and Digne playing as really really attacking fullbacks

 

[TheBigIguana]

He's awful.

Agreed I rather he plays.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

This is a daring time to be trying out a new CB partnership as we need this one bad, but hopefully it pans out. Not a fan of James and Siggy in the same side either

 

[Liamliverpool86]

Which is right, Carlo is really starting to use the squad.

thats the good thing about carlo ... koeman and silva be the same line up every week super predictable

 

[brian labone]

I think that is one of the strongest benches I can remember for a long time.

Lets not, I dont even remember 4pm til 5pm yesterday.

Im honestly not sure what point you are trying to make, we play 3 games this week, each 1 gives us 3 points for a victory.

Of course a win against City and Liverpool means "more" to us as fans and it sends a different message than beating Fulham at home, but each game only gives us 3 points and at the end of the season we are judged on our points total, not beating Fulham at home or beating City or Liverpool.

I’m not trying to say that the Liverpool/City games are more important though.

In fact I’ve posted several times that this is a vitally important game tonight. It gives us the platform to then get positive results that will then actually mean something against City/Liverpool.

However, extrapolating that out to “all games are as important as each other” or that no game should be described as “must win” is just dumb, because they’re demonstrably not all equal, because as I said before - context matters

 

[Vedder]

Little pace in the top half of that team, so unless we move the ball quick we could find it hard to get in on goal

 

[Tubey]

Delighted Mitrovic is out looking at our centre-half pairing. Could have bullied them a bit.

Bench has gone from one extreme to the other

 

[blue to the bone]

A bench that can win they game or close it out. That's a plus for sure .

Ok, just be sure to tell me the next time we play a game we don't have to win.

I will be waiting for the message.

Calling me dumb cos I think every game gives us 3 points for a win.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

No threat from set plays either without Keane or Mina

Holgate worries we a lot at centre half. He needs to fully switched on throughout.

Yeah. Leave the chewing gum in the dressing room Mason. Please stay switched on. Lookman is nippy player and knows your game too most likely.

 

[MikeH72]

Well that looks like the world’s slowest team on paper anyway.

 

[BlueToff]

Weird team, severe lack of pace up front

 

[nsno-chris]

Has Mitrovic even been playing for them
