Everton v. FFC [R]

1 point would do us I think,1 game does'nt make us world beaters(yet)
if we get the 3 it'll be party time in a big way!!!!!
(we beat the gunners,anything is possible)

 

I like our chances better than most away games for all three points. Everton's defense is outstandingly generous, long may it continue. 19 goals in 10 games is the league's worst. We should be able to get 2. Not one, TWO. Figure the home field is worth one goal. That means the D needs to hold and we are off the schneid for road games.

Picking a starting lineup apparently isn't Nostradamus-level material now, but again, I want to say START DEUCE. SIT GERA. And if Nevland is in the starting XI, so much the better.

COYW!!!!!!!

 

I'm thinking a 1-1 draw, the same starting XI (as much as I'd like to see Dempsey in for any of Gera, Murphy or Bullard), and Dempsey and Nevland as late subs. Woy seems to play it much more conservative on the road, especially in the 1st half, thus the 1-1 number despite Everton's seive-like D.

 

That sounds like exactly what I was going to say.

 

It seems we get run off the pitch every time we play there. Wasn't Truman in the White House the last time Fulham won at Everton? I'd be willing to bet Yakubu has scored more goals vs our boys than any other team in the Prem. AJ should be flying around and coming off this last performance it would not surprise me to see too much attention paid to him and Bobby Z finding the back of the net. A point would be fantastic even considering the Toffees home form this season.

 

we've been outscored 10-1 the last 3 trips to Goodison.

i'm biting the bullet on this one.

 

this is a big match. it's not a critical match in a sense of end of year relegation must win, but clearly it's time for our team to stand up to the results we've gotten in our last three with another result. A draw at Goodison Park is a good result in my opinion although I obviously prefer the 3 points. Let's go in there and get after the Toffees and force them to defend us. Our back 4 have kept things tight at the back and our strikers have picked it up at the front. Let's get our midfield in gear now and start to distance ourselves from that relegation zone. I'm saying a 1-1 draw but am hoping for a 2-1 victory.

 

Go back and listen to minutes 7-8, where from my best attempt to reading between the lines, Bullard may get some bench time.....soon.

 

oh, I think F5 will be fired up to make a statement to Everton and expect he will be very active. I'm with the rest of you. I will be very happy with a 1-1 or 2-2 result.

 

Roy sure is very even-keel in that clip, isn't he? And yes, he does sound like he's thinking that maybe Jimmy needs a week off to work through the bad patch of form he's in.

 

He indeed is even keel. I like his straight forward approach. He is either a really 'slick' diplomatic type or an authentically straightforward and genuine heady man. I think the latter but i don't know him so.....

 

i'll see you all in the chat room-all good fun

 

So, he's kissing his badge. Ooooooooooooooooooooooh.

They (Everton) should be more concerned about what he did prior to kissing it should they be so offended, likely it'll be a goal scored.

In any case, I didn't see the Wigan game and that's too bad. But I did see Portsmouth and if they can play more like they did from what I'm reading on Wednesday combined with the substitutions made against Pompey, I think FFC has a good of a chance as any to get some points on the road. I'll settle for a tie, if only because the team is so historically poor on the road and I'm going to have my hopes dashed enough later that Saturday.

A point would be great up there...a win and I'll pitch invade. A loss, expected...

We haven't won there since 1960-something...

Fletch, some of those who made a trip over have probably met him, and I are getting up at ridiculous-o'clock for this one...COYW's
