Probably because Everton's are white
Excellent Sess there. I thought it was a foul on Tete prior to that though.
Everton well on top
only 7 mins in, but need to get in sync...
can someone let them know the match has started...
Everton well on top, pinging it about. Header was close. Need some kind of composure and start to light a fire under a few butt's
That looked much better.
lucic will be getting that yellow today, methinks
Lukic misses the Sunderland game after getting booked now.
lazy
Lucic needs a little composure on the pitch.
A yellow on 10, why oh why Lukic
Typical Tarkowski. Things like this happen very often with him, one has to wonder if it's deliberate...
announcer: just an elbow. ::cool::
75 mins with Lukic on a yellow...
Quote from: ron on November 08, 2025, 03:14:33 PM75 mins with Lukic on a yellow...
Take him off at HT, bring King on and get something a bit more attacking going
Delightful diagonal fron Wilson, nice work from Kevin, but unfortunately nothing came of it
First shot, Iwobi. Much better stuff from us now.
We've been slow out of the blocks for pretty much every game this season, needs to be a bit of a dig into why
Terrible from Andersen there.
A clear yellow. Got away with that
Zzzzzzzzzzz
My god we are boring to watch sometimes. Come on MS, liven the guys up
Quote from: Hatch007 on November 08, 2025, 03:29:15 PMA clear yellow. Got away with that
His terrible giveaway led to that too
Lots of swearing in the background on Radio BBC 5X.
Anyone have a stream for the game? Search been fairly fruitless so far. Guess it's not a very "sexy" game to broadcast.
We look so lethargic
nobody there
Current FFC XG 0.03.....
That was good, but Raul should have done better there.
they are certainly working on a fast counter.
We look flat and need a spark.
Quote from: SerbianLad on November 08, 2025, 03:35:00 PMThat was good, but Raul should have done better there.
And the ball in our net seconds later!
My god we are boring to watch
Can someone tell Tete that shirt pulling is a foul ffs
Bring back parkerball please, I need some excitement
Burnley 1 up at WHU
Well done Kenny

:slap:
And Grealish now 🙄
Poor free-kick from Raul.
Why is that Garner not a card?
how is it that we are getting all these free kicks? what has happened in the matrix?!
Lucic playing with fire. Can he make it to halftime without getting a red lol.
Lukic needs subbing right now. He has been absolutely useless and 2 yards behind everything. Utter liability
Get Lukic off ffs
Lukic off at HT
Lukic needs to come off at half time. That was never a 2nd yellow, but the crowd will pressure the ref every time to give him a red
Lukic off king on now please
Get Lukic off before we have to to play with 10
That was never a foul on Tarkowski
We are living dangerously
Quote from: First State on November 08, 2025, 03:41:49 PMLucic playing with fire. Can he make it to halftime without getting a red lol.
gotta be off at half.
What do we work on during the week? You could probably do no training and turn up and be as ponderous as we are
Quote from: Rambler on November 08, 2025, 03:42:28 PMLukic needs subbing right now. He has been absolutely useless and 2 yards behind everything. Utter liability
He's been involved unlike the crab, Berge, who needs a compass so he knows where North is.
If he doesnt take him off at HT i dunno. Everyone can see whats coming
2nd disallowed goal for Everton, really knocking on the door
Spam equalise against Burnley
tete v grelish has been good so far

Everton want a foul for every contact
Terrible defending
Hand round the back of the neck is ok then??
Shocking from Fulham again
::angry::
FFS
will they wake up now?
We deserved this loss, being outplayed in the game and the ref
There you go,injury time again.ffs
Normal service resumed.... Dragged back into relegation fight.
Berge and Lukic just cannot play together. Useless.
Will wait and see what the end result is. But normal service and utter tripe has resumed.
Something is wrong with this team - no spirit at all . Ugh!
Just what we deserve. We are ****. Just like most weeks in 2025
Quite predictable.
ugh.
tartoski should be off soon, but the third time in the net...
I have no idea what our game plan is, absolutely turgid. Again you've got to question the managers tactics
It was coming and we have been dominated for much of the half.
We are absolutely terrible. Have been all season
Again, we're better conceding than scoring first, so I'd say come on!
Watching that replay, why didn't Berge (or maybe it was Andersen) not contest that header and allowed Tarkowski to get a free header?
Jesus Christ guys we've got the second half to put things right.
We haven't lost yet ffs
The only time we play well is against the 10-men bottom of the league teams. What the fk is going on with this team?
Quote from: First State on November 08, 2025, 03:50:51 PMSomething is wrong with this team - no spirit at all . Ugh!
amen
Said it time and time again, Marco has to go, continues to play this total dross of 2 DMs and 4 defenders while lethargic passing around the pitch. 5 defeats in 6 is not great at all
I suppose we should be happy we're only down 1-0.
Can't see the game itself but listening on BBC radio.
Will Traore liven up our attack a little bit? Muniz to hold the ball up a bit more?
Lukic off, move Iwobi to the 8 and bring King on + Muniz to start the second half. Chukwueze on from 60mins.
If he doesnt wanna play Iwobi at the 8 despite winning the last game, then sub him for TC
Harry is sadly having one of his anonymous performances so Chuk and King on for Lukic and Harry
Was Anderson more worried about getting a ball to the face on the goal than fighting to clear it, sick of him turning his back
Can someone remind me how to block pessimistic posters?
Quote from: Hatch007 on November 08, 2025, 03:52:14 PMJesus Christ guys we've got the second half to put things right.

We're away at Everton of all teams who are kick and rush at best, and they've had more possession, shots and two disallowed goals. It's been shite and you can't actually say what we've tried to do because we've looked like a bunch of flustered school girls for the most part
Yep Jay, Muniz for Raul at HT also
Silva has to inject some energy into this lot. Our lack of; pace, creativity, adventure, enterprise.........................DESPERATE.
Forgot we have King and Chuk on the bench. Seem the obvious choices.
Terrible first half. The centreback pairing has been dreadful. Berge invisible, Lukic careless with many poor fouls. Front 3 largely ineffective.
I'd make 3 subs at half time. TC, Chukwueze and Muniz for Lukic, Wilson and Raul.

No, not yet. You have to be patient...😱
Only positive is Tete, who I thought had a really good first half.
I would normally take the lamppost off in a flash but I suppose Lukic may have to come off instead as he looks like he's heading for a red. Go 4-1-4-1. Muniz for Jimenez. King and Iwobi behind him. Chuk on for Wilson.
How have we become so crap? So much for European push. Staying out of the bottom 3 looks like our goal this season!
Quote from: DevonFFC on November 08, 2025, 03:50:38 PMWe deserved this loss, being outplayed in the game and the ref
You mean we deserve to be behind. We haven't lost
Not sure moving Iwobi to 8 will help control the midfield. Maybe it will. But cairney or Iwobi in 8 for lukic.
Muniz for Jiminez, chuk for Wilson and king on into 10.
Quote from: Super Mick on November 08, 2025, 03:58:12 PMHow have we become so crap? So much for European push. Staying out of the bottom 3 looks like our goal this season!
We put to bed any attemp at Europe in the transfer window. We are carrying the form of the final 10 games of last season. That's 20 games now of poor form.....
Amazing that some people wont accept any criticism of Marco whatsoever when we've consistently been terrible to watch in 2025.
- We've had 4 clean sheets in 20 games despite playing with two defensive midfielders who seemingly dont do anything.
- We've barely scraped by lower league opposition in the cup.
- We create literally nothing in games.
- We constantly start games (and come out from half time) slowly and devoid of any pace or desire.
We are insanely easy to play against.
Traveling and trying to watch the game on my phone with Spotty service. From what I've seen, Andersen has been awful, Lukic needs to be subbed off, Iwobi dropped to the number 8, and Josh needs to come on.
I have an awful feeling he's going to bring Cairney on.
Lucic lucky still to be on the pitch. TC for him asap. Muniz for Raul who is having one of his anonymous days. Iwobi out of sorts. King for him.
Not so far one of our better days.
Need one of the strongest halves of the season so far as that was probably one of the worst.
Quote from: Hugh Janus on November 08, 2025, 04:01:49 PMI have an awful feeling he's going to bring Cairney on.

Pretty close. I'd add Raul to the naughty list. He looks completely devoid of energy. Can't win headers or hold up the ball.
Worst was the counter where Kevin and Sess worked a nice combo to the end line. Well placed cross rolled through the box as Raul jogged down the field watching.
It seems like King is coming on for Lukic and that's it.
Why no Chukwueze and/or Muniz for Wilson and/or Raul?
Of the 17 teams that didn't get relegated last season, since the end of February we would be second to bottom of this hypothetical table with just West Ham below us, so trouble has been brewing a long time ago.
Quote from: SerbianLad on November 08, 2025, 04:08:13 PMIt seems like King is coming on for Lukic and that's it.

You know the reason why. Marco doesn't make early changes unless absolutely necessary like Lukic.

We are losing that midfield battle right now, maybe cairney can get us a bit of the ball.

Couldn't agree more and this is where Silva frustrates.
I'd hate to be in Kent's vicinity right now. He must be going nuts, in between re-writing history 😂
I think our players have got into the habit of switching off,when the official holds the injury time board up..Added on time goals.ffs

Apparently not, according to Marco. His stubborness is going to (I hope not) cost us this half.
Everton look slightly less aggressive in pressure this half, that could suit us
King looking quite bright so far
Andersen has been atrocious today...

We have a poor last 10 of last season and the first 10 this season we are in a relegation fight. Facts are that's poor form
King for Lukic was a good call
why do our corners end up with our goalie..?
After looking decent in the first 2-3 minutes, we looked poo since
Terrible from Berge there, but luckily 3rd time offside saved us
Utterly lame.
Fourth time the ball in our net
We are embarrassing to watch
This has descended into total rubbish now.
They've had the ball in the net four times and we look like we could still be there tomorrow and not score. What on earth do we do on the training ground all week
Quote from: Super Mick on November 08, 2025, 03:58:12 PMHow have we become so crap? So much for European push. Staying out of the bottom 3 looks like our goal this season!
Certainly not the players, we have very good attacking players being asked to play in a negative way
Now I know we're not allowed to criticise MS but it's not the players choosing the tactics, style of play etc..
How long do we have to wait before we realise we're in a relegation scrap with a squad that should be nowhere near it
Change tactics or change the manager.
Leta break the world record for most offside goals sure
How is Raul still on?
I really hope Kevin isn't regretting moving
Andersen continues to be terrible.
On a different note, get Muniz and Chukwuese on ASAP
We're riding our luck. Surely we must make more changes while there is still time. The current personnel aren't doing too well.
insane the amount of times the everton's goals are called for offsides. how are we still in this?
We could easily have been 4-0 down to an ordinary side after just 52 minutes. That's how poor we've been today. Berge could be heading for his third relegation from the Prem with three different sides. That would surely be a record.
Muniz and Chuk coming on
That was superb from Kevin, shame that nothing came off it in the end.
We're making changes, chuk and muniz on. BUT WHY DIDN'T WE DO THAT AT HALF TIME, MARCO?
Absolutely superb from Muniz there. Best move of the game from us
Yep, no idea why Marco moves at such a slow pace. I guess it matches our build up play though.

Of those two wins and 2 draws we played 30 minutes of good football v Chelsea and 60 Vs Brentford.
I accept your view is different but there is quite clearly a trend. Over the last 20 games we have generally been poor or worse, with the odd half of hope in certain games.
Wolves, we were poor. Got a result but we were poor. Today? I assume you feel we're playing amazing attacking football?
In my view, for someone to reference last 20 games is absolutely being fair and accurate.
Something needs to change. Either the tactics or Silva. Be amazed if anyone thinks Silva is doing a great job with these tactics this season.
Not a Silva out post but certainly he needs to change or we need to change manager to someone who can get the best out of this talented squad
What a pass from Chukwueze!
where was this team?
Better already.
And again, terrible from Andersen, but luckily the ball bounced back to us
Quote from: MisfitKid on November 08, 2025, 04:27:26 PMwhere was this team?
This started with King so I've no idea why he didn't start.
King providing that much needed spark. Keep it up.
I'd get TC on for Iwobi. And then around 80th minute, ESR/Adama for Kevin.
We have so many exciting forwards, so why don't we score more?Maybe it's because we rarely if ever dominate the midfield.
How didn't we even get a shot there? Poor pass from Berge
COYW ::cry::

Quote from: SerbianLad on November 08, 2025, 04:32:49 PMHow didn't we even get a shot there? Poor pass from Berge
He's made 3 or 4 of those
Get TC on ASAP and try to gain some sort of control of the game
We need OG to get his shooting boots on
Neither Berge nor Lukic have proved to be Palhinha replacements. We should move both of them on and sign one new defensive CM and one to replace TC. (Could also move on ESR).
We won't score if we play till midnight...There that will do the trick. ::scarf::
Quote from: Coastwalker on November 08, 2025, 04:38:10 PMWe won't score if we play till midnight...There that will do the trick. ::scarf::
I'll help. We have absolutely NO chance of scoring in this game.
This is defo the start of a relegation fight. Our success or otherwise in the January window will now be crucial. A dominant midfielder is essential.
Only got the radio coverage but it sounds like KDH has been motm?
People still complaining about ESR in this thread. How about Silva tries new tactics. He has his favorites and they have proven to be shite throughout the season.
Muniz injured...
West Ham score. We're 1 point above the relegation zone as things stand. But dont worry guys everything is fine
WTF?
Quote from: SerbianLad on November 08, 2025, 04:39:20 PMMuniz injured...
Phew, I'm just glad we have some excuses for this shower of sh*te ready and available :slap:
Adama on, that's this game set and match.
He's terrible, I'd stuck billy the badger on as he would offer more
Looks like we're down to JKA and Raul again
I haven't been in the Silva outcp until this moment. When we need a goal he brings Traore on!
Sounds like Muniz might be ill

We were atrocious in the first half. Please point me to any of my posts that gave you the impression I think we're playing amazing attacking football.
I vehemently disagree that we've been poor in every game this season which is what is implied by saying we've been poor for 20 games.
The results tell you otherwise but you interpret them how you wish.
I'm neither a Silva out poster for now but our tactics are ponderous and boring to watch and we should have made the first three subs today all at half time.
If things continue Marco will eventually have to go. That's football.
The only matter up for debate is how long Marco gets to change things.
goodnight Irene
Yeah Silva needs to change evertything. You can't keep rolling out the same tired lineup.
Bench Berge, Iowbi and Wilson. Try something new.
We're just not a good team. Big changes are needed.
5 losses in 6, silva has to be under major scrutiny because we've been shite all season
Quote from: LittleErn on November 08, 2025, 04:45:20 PMIs Traoré definitely playing in the centre now? I'd rather see Chuk there with Adama on the wing.
Adama is on the right, Chukwueze central
Can Leno jump over a slip of paper? Two goals today because he can't get up at all to tip a ball over the crossbar.
Silva needs to go for me. Same mistakes every game. Team looks completely unprepared and dont look like they are playing for him
Free header ? Maybe we need a taller defender than Andersen.
TBF that should have been ruled out shouldn't it?
I was never in the Marco Out camp but now I am.
Utter shyte. Hopefully theres 3 worse teams in the league than us. Im not sure there is currently
Lucky to beat relegation this year. We've gone backwards in the last few years.
It's Silva's refusal to adapt and change that annoys me most. I can forgive a poor run if the manager is clearly trying things but Silva just seems intent on the same old, same old.
We have been poor today. One paced, very narrow at times, we look unsure of what we are supposed to be doing. The amount of misplaced passes is a concern. The issue for me is that central area of Bassey, Anderson, lukic.and Berge. They're too flat. Needs to be a lot more dynamism out of them.
Marco has work to do. Lost 5 of last 7.
Decent effort from Adama
One point above the drop zone and we're playing some really poor football.....when should we start to be concerned if not now?

We put to bed any attemp at Europe in the transfer window. We are carrying the form of the final 10 games of last season. That's 20 games now of poor form.....
20 games? Give it a rest Kent ffs.
We were 2 Wins 2 draws and an undeserved defeat to Chelsea in the first five games of this season including a stellar 3-1 performance against Brentford but don't let facts and the truth get in the way of your narrative
Of those two wins and 2 draws we played 30 minutes of good football v Chelsea and 60 Vs Brentford.
I accept your view is different but there is quite clearly a trend. Over the last 20 games we have generally been poor or worse, with the odd half of hope in certain games.
Wolves, we were poor. Got a result but we were poor. Today? I assume you feel we're playing amazing attacking football?
In my view, for someone to reference last 20 games is absolutely being fair and accurate.
Something needs to change. Either the tactics or Silva. Be amazed if anyone thinks Silva is doing a great job with these tactics this season.
Not a Silva out post but certainly he needs to change or we need to change manager to someone who can get the best out of this talented squad
We were atrocious in the first half. Please point me to any of my posts that gave you the impression I think we're playing amazing attacking football.
I vehemently disagree that we've been poor in every game this season which is what is implied by saying we've been poor for 20 games.
The results tell you otherwise but you interpret them how you wish.
I'm neither a Silva out poster for now but our tactics are ponderous and boring to watch and we should have made the first three subs today all at half time.
If things continue Marco will eventually have to go. That's football.
The only matter up for debate is how long Marco gets to change things.
Please tell me where I've explicitly said we've been poor for 20 games?
I've even given examples within that timeframe where haven't been poor.
But we agree, change is required
Tactics or manager. Something needs to change and now.

Yep and we look poor against a very comparable team. If they had any more discipline they'd have 5 goals. Very bad afternoon for us.
If only the season ended now, we wouldn't be relegated.
We had a half decent 10 mins, when King got hold of the ball. We managed to get one shot on target. That's been all. The second goal was, provlbably,a foul, but I guess it's just too embarrassing to disallow 4 goals. Wouldn't have made any difference anyway. Desperately poor performance against a very average opposition.
Watching ESR come on is like seeing the undertaker walking in front of the hearse...
How do we keep playing Traore? We must have better in the academy. Shame we let Godo go.

Such a tired take. Blame the players that were out there that looked like **** rather than the guy who just came on.
To some extent it's the starting team selection.. too flat with Wilson etc. Need to play our best players with King, Kevin, Chuk etc.
Also got unlucky with injuries and we shouldn't understate that. Our strikers haven't found any rhythm as a result so finding goals has been tough.
Finally.. Silva does lose it a bit on the bench with the referee decisions. Needs to tone it down a bit.. show some control.
My friend at the game,has just txt me,quite a few Fulham fans moaning about Silva.

Or a pair of undertakers. Smith and Rowe.
I think Silva is a fair weather manager; when it's going well he's all good but at soon as the losses pile up he doesn't seem to know what to do and just keeps doing the same things in hope it'll sort itself out. Yes you could say we need another CM but he's got no idea about how to make us fire whatsoever
Shows what a loss Muniz is, brighter the moment he was on the pitch. Fallen away agin without him.
Silvas gott find a way of course though. King should have startd and Iwobi has been poor for a while in all positions sadly. Berge and Lukic ineffectual which is a shame after being so strong last year. Really hope Muniz is ok soon.

And the same when he was at Everton. And what happened.
Ref has been terrible too. I don't think it would have made any difference if he was better, but he's been terrible
Maybe Silva's angst/negativity on the sidelines is just permeating to the players now. It's felt like alot of doom and gloom from Silva for quite a while now. And then there is his yearly contract fiasco.
Got what we deserved. Nothing.

Wilson, Iowbi and Berge should all find the bench
Terrible game. Worst game of the season by a country mile, imo. We had no sustained moments of good football. We had some good moments here and there in both halves, but, overall, both halves have been very poor.
Signings.
Two 34 million players,who wouldn't look out of place in League 1.
Only positive today ticked the new Everton stadium off my list of grounds visited

In the same post where I said we've been playing amazing attacking football 😂
I was more referring to Kent who said that verbatim and whom you seemed to be defending.
Anyway, today was gutless and Marco's days are numbered sadly
Easiest MOTM vote for me in years - Tete. Not because he was exceptional, but because everyone else was somewhere between bellow average and extremely poor.
Muniz has been looking better with every match but he's still not a consistent threat. Nevertheless he is our best chance of scoring at the moment. I hope he is ill rather than injured and that he will soon be well again.

He looked great in his very short cameo,imo. That move where he layed the ball off and continued his run and then had a decent shot on target was our best move of the match.
Was at the game. We were poor as others have said. Everton very comfortable and I am worried about Muniz going off. We need him. Thought Silva should have started with King as the first half we lacked any spark in midfield. Great stadium. Big Fulham support. Just a shame we were well below where we want to be performance wise. Kenny Tete MOM
Ref was shocking too....
