Match Thread Fulham 1-2 Everton. Sat Feb 7th. 3pm

[14_dollars]

I have a flatpack chest of drawers that needs putting together today, I'm saving it for 3pm.

For some reason that reminded me of this genius clip from the armando iannucci show back in the day…

 

[Cameron Manning]

He'll do what he did against Brighton, set us up not to lose, try to nick it on the break, save players for Bournemouth. Typically, we'll make it harder for ourselves and be huffing and puffing to try and salvage a draw by the end, at least one player will do his hamstring and be out for the season just after the window has closed.

I think that hamstring injury will occur at Finch Farm like most of the injuries!

I have sneaky feeling George will start on the left as the only change

I would deffo start him. Would be amazed if he did though knowing Moyes.

More of this today lids. One of my favourite ever Everton games to be at. Saha's goal coming moments after a Rosenthal like miss at the other end by Bobby Zamora.
The whole game enlivened by Hibbo having to constantly verbally threaten Royston to shift his lazy arris back and cover.
C'mon Blue.️

As with most aways back then I was there but don't remember I thing.

Just about to set off for this. Favourite away ground in the prem. Hopefully our decent away form continues. UTFT!

 

[GoldenToffee]

I want to see T-Dibs starting today and the team told to attack.

I like the feel of Ndiaye-Dews-Dibs behind Barry, with Garner and Gueye given permission to attack and sit when necessary.

IF they were told to attack instead of have a defence-first mentality, I could probably even stomach four centre halves in defence, which we're getting anyway.

"When the ball hits your head and you're sat in row z, that's Zamora"

'twas a great day out.

Early lead with a speculative Royston punt from the edge if the box.
Davey puts 11 behind the ball immediately. Only 10 go as Royston cba.
Fulham inch their way back into the game.An equaliser seemed inevitable.
Fulham equalise.
Fulham pile on the pressure for a winner
89 mins Zamora had to score, open goal, missed.
Everton break Louis scores - bedlam in the away end
Fulham ko. Everton win the ball and break, Rodwell scores - hysteria in the away end
.....is how I remember it.

Ex vermin. Double funny for me.

 

[Donegal blue]

Come on the Toffees, bang em in tricky! Really looking forward to watching him!

Imagine the mass feinting on here if George, Dibling and Armstrong all started. Life would never be the same.

T-Dibs

 

[Preki]

Undercover in their end today.
Brogues-check
Trenchcoat -check
Air of faded dishevelment -check
