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

[Brennan]

Couldnt even tell you who plays up top for Fulham.

You’ll hear the announcer say it after 3 minutes probably

 

[BlueToff]

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

Fulham aren't going to park the bus. Seems dead odd.

Trust Carlo, but it seems very similar to that Newcastle away game

 

[Furey1878]

No width really is there?

Richarlison will be upfront hopefully rather than Sigurdsson.

Glad to see Allan on the bench

Think James and Sigurdsson will be quitw narrow either side of Richarlison. Onus on our fullback to provide the width, hence Coleman's selection I feel.

As long as the 3 centre-mids stay disciplined, I think we'll be okay.

 

[Sharpattack]

James & Sigurdsson? That’s a mistake

 

[mightymoyes]

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.

He was our best central defender until that silly injured he got in preseason

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Weird team, severe lack of pace up front

Won’t Fulham park the bus though? Kinda invalidates pace if we’re faced with 2 banks of 4

It makes me think we will try really hard to play Richy through in this one. Fulham are a shambles at times. Can’t see us getting much width out of this one

 

[nsno-chris]

can’t see an issue with that team at all

 

[ToffeeTim]

Holgate?

He's never been our best defender. That's a mad shout. He's a better right back than centre half.

 

[tim cahill]

Not keen on that line up. Think Siggurdson should have been rested with Rodriguez back. Surprised Iwobi or King didn't make the team.

Godfrey and Holgate yess my fave CB pairing

If they're smart they don't do that until they go one or two up. The side we're putting out can very easily be put on the back foot.

If Fulham try and keep it tight, sit deep and nick one on the counter, we'll leather them.

The main problem with that is that Coleman can’t move anymore.

its a possession based team .. draw them out then hit them with our full backs overlapping

if king was 100% fit am sure he would of been given a start

Don't need pace to bend the ball into the the net from James' left foot from 23 yards.
