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

[Norwegian Cow]

I'd be grateful I had a manager who cared to keep me fit and let me have a good career, it's Fulham away in a dead season it's not the end of the world.

Then why does it feel like that

Looks a really strange team, can understand if Branthwaite’s minutes are being managed and don’t get me wrong I’m glad they are - but surely Patterson in at RB and O’Brien starting CB?!

Can’t see us having any attacking impetus until subs are made which means we will likely start on the back foot.

1-0 Everton

 

[Sadken]

Thats a decent bench.

 

[Davideeyore]

strongest bench for a while - searching for a positive!

I'm sure they'll be called upon. If the preferred players don't do the business.

CB at full back and a CM at RW.
Not a fan

 

[whiteshadow]

Harrison isn't a winger.

KDH isn't a 10.

Keane isn't a defender. j/k

We're screwed.

I’m not hopeful but theres a slim chance patterson starts tuesday

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Thats a decent bench.

The players sitting there isnt too bad either.

 

[Bluewolf]

Ffs moyes...why do you hurt me like this?

Literally drains any excitement out of the game when i see his team sheets.

Imagine being a away fan and seeing that teem sheet?

No wonder bonk makes so much money

 

[MACCA75]

Won’t play Branthwaite but inexplicably started Coleman after he’d played 2 games in a week for Ireland and started KDH when he’d been complaining of a tight hamstring.

 

[Tony1985]

Classic Moyes that team selection, can’t really argue with it as our away form has been pretty good.
If I was to argue with it I would have started Patterson, Brainthwaite and Rohl, instead of Jake, Keane and Gana. I feel Garner plays better when Gana isn’t next to him.
Anyway, 0-1 blues, KDH with the winner COYB

 

[ValBlue]

Obviously I always want us to win but this sort of [Poor language removed] is why I couldn’t be happy with the draw last week. It just emboldened another turgid line up today.

We either need to scrape a win or get absolutely mullered. Tragic last minute draws only condemn you to JoB at RB forever.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Then why did he start him in a position that requires more running, less time removed from his injury, last week?

Because this week we have another game on Tuesday and he has a fit LB to pick.

Unless you're privy to what the medical team are telling Moyes about JB then it's pretty difficult to say with any certainty what the right or wrong thing to do is regarding his long term fitness.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We could have played Dibling Ndiaye George behind the striker with KDH and Garner behind them. Really given Fulham something to think about. Or Ndiaye right George left and KDH Rohl ahead of Garner and ran them off the park.

But ho we play the slowest 11 possible with half of them playing out of position.

 

[EFC1967]

That defensive lineup just sets us up for our usual first half battering,
