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

No surprise that with Iwobi in the middle and not 4-4-2 we started to dominate, no idea why he tried it again.

Simms will be sat there thinking he’d of had a goal by now.

 

[Rodebaard]

There for the taking.

 

[Cels]

Crazy half, need to be more clinical in front of goal in the second half.

 

[bluenorthwarrior]

It's there to be won. But aside from mcneil the quality in attack and midfield is so, so poor.

 

[matty1878]

Better after the goal. We need to win this game.

please x

 

[Mr PEN86]

Simms on and we do this

Absolute facts. The second one was beweildering. How long did he want smh??

 

[GoldenToffee]

What is the point of Maupay? I don’t care how bad Simms all round game is at least he knows where the back of the net is

An extra midfielder would be better even. Maupay = nothing. In fact it's worse than that because he cannot win a header or hold up the ball, so we're immediately back under pressure. Awful choice to play him.

 

[The Nature Boy]

He's found a better midfield trio. Let's stick with it. Somehow need to convert one of the many chances we create. Enter SIMMS!

Not watching. Who’s the trio?

 

[andy4efc]

Sitters missed. Maupay header. Taekwondo rebound. Maupay 1v1 and Grays ‘attempt’ in the cross.

Much better since going 3 in the middle

 

[DanEFC92]

90% of that half was utter undies. Terrible stuff.

 

[andy4efc]

Not watching. Who’s the trio?

Iwobi Garner and Gana

 

[ToffeeTim]

A half of two halves. Very bad start. Dyche got it badly wrong then fixed it. We equalised then should have scored another.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Opinions on Garner so far?

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

I'd view this game as one where the players are good enough and the manager put them behind in the game by using a bad system with many players out of position. Credit for fixing it but it was also broken last week so it didn't need to be in position for fixing.

Agree, really surprised he started 442 again after it clearly didn’t work last week. The players suited the 451

Feared for us in the 1st 30 mins. Absolutely nothing happening, Fulham in control then a tweak a goal and we are in control. Can we keep that up in the 2nd half
