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

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Interesting lineup

Loftus-Cheek and Lookman could be dangerous, so hopefully the back line does it’s job

 

[nsno-chris]

Still half an hour to kick-off and the negativity on here is unreal.
Just saying like.

Misery loves misery, especially on GoT

sad to see, but true unfortunately

 

[DanB90]

Proper attacking fullbacks providing the width. Pacey centre backs to cover the space in behind. One of Siggy or James linking up top with Richarlison, one dropping in a bit deeper.

 

[messymascot]

We should win. There is goals in that team and creation hopefully get a few minutes for Allan towards the end.

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

Bit surprised King isn't in place of DCL and considering team has let 7 goals in last two games, don't mind resting Keane. The team has shown loads of character in last two games (and proved me wrong), and hopefully that will continue tonight before two tough matches. Up The Toffes.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I think we may be repeating the Newcastle mistake here. Hope I’m wrong, obvs. Back four giving me jitterbum.

 

[tim cahill]

Surprised no King or Iwobi even, don't seem to have much pace apart from central defence. Who's left wing??

Perhaps going with Siggy in false 9 position and Richarlison out left. Seems a gamble

Surely Richarlison will be up front??

 

[Dykovski200]

I hope Carlo smashes the gum right out of Holgate's mouth before kick off. Can't stand seeing him chomp away while playing.

I agree, too casual and too many errors to in him

 

[blulouie]

What I will say is that clearly Carlo expects us to be on the front foot for the majority of the game, Fulham will sit in and not give us room in behind, so why do we need pace. He has put pace in the defence however to combat their counter should they get the ball going forward....

Every time i've watched Fulham they dont "sit in "
Very unlucky agst West ham last week and managed 20 shots , thats a lot of shots considering.
Be a very open game this.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Heads fell off in here

That’s a good team we have out. Almost got full team available now. We win 2-0.

Hopefully the Dons comments after NUFC will have sunk in and they don’t go into this expecting to roll over Fulham....

BBC....

• Everton have won 22 consecutive top-flight matches against Fulham at Goodison Park - the longest home winning run in top-flight history.
• A Fulham draw or defeat would ensure they equal the Football League record of 28 successive winless matches away to a particular opponent. The Cottagers have drawn four and lost 23 of their previous league trips to Everton in all divisions.
• Fulham's only victories at Goodison Park both came in the FA Cup - one of them being on Valentine's Day in 1948.

We’re screwed......we’ll batter these 4-0....

Lotus cheek? Nah

Think people are just a bit puzzled and concerned about the lineup.

 

[BlueToff]

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

Might need pace so that the Fulham defenders have to track some other runners, like
