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

[welshtoffee]

now let’s make HDS like goodison

Definitely Matty, home performances this season have been pretty poor and you can understand why the fans get frustrated.

 

[Davideeyore]

No need for the negativity. Moyes was far too cautious last week so long as he doesn't start that way we'll beat Fulham. We're a good side away. Another away win for me

Hmmm

Why does he start so cautious?

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

He sent the same players on second half with a rocket up their arse and they took it right to Fulham pal.

Exactly; but with different tactics and a different mindset.

Why did he not send them out like that at the start of the match?

It's mad how much more effective we are away from home. I think we were a bit lucky to get all of the points today but, Crystal Palace aside, it's the sort of result we just don't seem likely to get at home.

 

[banno]

But let's just hold on here a minute.

Keene was at fault for goal 1, and could easily have had us conceding another, and Fulham could have been 4-0 up and half time and it could have been game over.

Yes Moyes probably gave them a rollicking at the break, but his poor team selection could have had this game out of reach at half time.

Great fightback yes, but his strategy in the first half was P poor.

True but we could also have 3 goals in the 1st half alone. What counts is how many you actually score

 

[edge]

Tell you what’s gonna happen now. Bournemouth beat us at home midweek and those who suddenly went missing about two hours ago turn up with a bee in their bonnet as they’ve been completely and utterly licked today.

And right then dear pals, that’s when we feed.

We will win again

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Has anyone asked when we last had a comeback away win?

If so, apologies, but I honestly can’t remember.

Fulham last year 3-1 and Mykolenko scored albeit with a deflection, he plays like Roberto Carlos at Craven Cottage.

 

[Paul Rideout]

It's mad how much more effective we are away from home. I think we were a bit lucky to get all of the points today but, Crystal Palace aside, it's the sort of result we just don't seem likely to get at home.

I genuinely think it’s because when You set up the team like Moyes does and concede first half, we get on the teams/moyes’ back. Then he dithers which doesn’t help the mood.

So either Moyes needs to set up the team in a way that doesn’t suck the enthusiasm out of the crowd before we’ve kicked a ball, or Everton fans have to change their nature, which we’ve been pretty consistent on for the last 140 odd years

 

[chicoazul]

Hmmm

Why does he start so cautious?

It might be that the players didn’t follow what he wanted mate. The same players he went out second half that reacted to his half time talk, players that play for the manager. Something worth celebrating after what we’ve had for the past 5 years.

Take a bow...

Palace at home this season?

Grealish winner in the last minute?

 

[sexualchocolate]

In the Moysiah we trust!

I was going to go for Idrissa for MoM just to wind the haters up (for a man whose "legs are gone" he was certainly dashing around the pitch in the 94th minute), but I've plumped for Jimmy Garner. I thought Harrison Armstrong was in with a shout too.
We just need to get the wins going at home now.

Funny I would have put Armstrong and gana as our weakest 2 performances today

 

[windymiller]

I genuinely think it’s because wh. You set up the team like that and concede, we
get on the teams/moyes’ back

Maybe. I suppose it's a fine line between being demanding and being unreasonable. To be honest, though, top professionals shouldn't really be swayed by disgruntled das.

 

[allen]

Palace at home this season?

Grealish winner in the last minute?

I did say ‘away win.’

 

[ValBlue]

I did say ‘away win.’

You did, I’m slow
