Match Thread Everton v Fulham (Sat 29th 15:00)

[Brett Angell Delight]

I’d honestly go with the same XI as against Arsenal. If we had to make a change I’d bring in Bernard for Gylfi, as I would hope we can afford to let our number 10 stay higher up the pitch in a game like this and his pace could make the Fulham defenders wet themselves.

Fingers crossed something goes in for us early doors to calm the nerves and we could run riot, here.

This , now back to keeping my trap shut

Seamus back?

Hope he does in good maner.

It's a bit mental how much quality teams coming up have now, isn't it? Both of us have weaknesses and both like to get forward, I reckon this will be a decent game with us edging it 2-1. Mitrovic is going to be a nightmare, I can't see how we'll keep a clean sheet so we've got to hope we actually start converting chances.

I'm not there this weekend because as I've mentioned in the Ale House, my wife is due and the baby could come any moment so I won't be doing any post-match stuff unfortunately. My mum is having the ticket though and she's seen Everton four times and they've won every game, so here's to hoping she keeps that 100% win record up! If she does, she's having my derby ticket...

Why is Lookman appearing in some lineups ffs

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I’d start the same team that played vs Arsenal with the exception of Tosun in for DCL. Bernard needs to start soon I’m just not sure where or when.

Funny feeling it’ll click tomorrow and we’ll do these, we need to as well.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Unchanged from Arsenal.

 

[buededw1]

I will get destroyed for this... but anyway,


Pickford
Kenny Keane Zouma Digne
Gueye Baines
Walcott Sigurdsson Bernard
Richarlison

Leighton doesn’t give the ball away, technically he is great, works really hard for the team and he has a defensive mindset. At the minute its just not working in the middle, and I think he could excel... cue Martinez / my abuse

 

[dublinbluenose]

Seamus back?

Not until next week according to the presser

Hope all goes well for you and your wife @Adam-GOTTV !

Sounds like Richy might be up front.
