That last minute goal for United really took the wind out of our sails it what could have been a famous fight back.
Ra\u00fal now has the “perfect penalties” record, 12 out of 12, long may that run continue, hopefully Fulham will be awarded penalties on a more regular basis?
Kevin getting his first Premier League goal is massive too. Those are the ones that often unlock a player mentally\u2014suddenly the pace feels manageable, the chances look clearer. If that gives him confidence to take shots a fraction earlier or make those late runs again, we\u2019ll take it all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Everton comparison is spot on. Same points, same goal difference, very similar vibes: organised, physical, not a lot given away. Historically they\u2019ve had the edge on us, but recent years feel far more balanced\u2014even when we lose, it\u2019s rarely comfortable for them, especially at the Cottage. The \u201cprevious 8 games\u201d 2 wins, 2 draws, 4\u00a0losses<\/strong>, shows how close Everton and Fulham are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, it doesn\u2019t feel like there\u2019s much between us and a solid mid-table season again. If Kevin kicks on, Ra\u00fal keeps doing Ra\u00fal things, and we turn these\u00a0nearly<\/em>\u00a0moments into points\u2026 there\u2019s plenty to be positive about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m assuming that both Lukic and Muniz won’t be available and that our new signing Bobb will be on the bench so my team would be…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
