Everton 0-1 Fulham - 12 August

[ChesterTheTabby]

Our passing is atrocious - we're going to lose this.

[jayffc]

There's not enough pace in the team

Our defence is so wide open

And we're not getting passed the press at all
Lukic been poor in the middle we miss Palhinha badly

[DevonFFC]

Jeez we are riding some luck today

[Caedal]

We look rubbish. No threat going forwards, and giving up loads of chances at the back.

[akf]

the way the tide has turned, would like the halftime whistle to blow.  how many minutes of added time with the new rules? 15?

[Milo]

Look very disjointed.
Jimenez offering very little upfront. A few good passes across the six yard box early on by Robinson and no one attacked them.
Ream guilty of the odd misplaced pass/being caught of position early on too nearly gifting a goal.
The only player on the ball so far seems to be Leno who has made a handful of good saves to keep them out.

[St Eve]

Anyone else so glad we never signed Maupey

Dodged that bullet

[itombomb]

Thank goodness Maupay is not a goal scorer.

We've been battered in midfield the last 10 minutes, have kept losing the ball in really dangerous areas - Lukic and Wilson both in the last minute leading straight to chances.

[jayffc]

Mitro and Periera to come on and change the game unlocking our attack

[St Eve]

At least 30

[rusty shackleford]

Started decent look pretty bleak now

[akf]

it is like we are trying not to play the forward pass in the final 1/3.

[ChesterTheTabby]

Cannot pass to save our lives

[itombomb]

Look very disjointed.
Jimenez offering very little upfront. A few good passes across the six yard box early on by Robinson and no one attacked them.

Yep. He's isolated, but he's neither offering himself to hold the ball up for players to play off, not making runs into channels. Very nothing performance so far.

[demeant0r]

Ream has been awful today, can we please sub him off at half time?

[Blawarmy]

Silva needs to sort this mess out

[akf]

Mitro and Periera to come on and change the game unlocking our attack

Nice to have a potent bench!

[akf]

Ream has been awful today, can we please sub him off at half time?

he didnt start well but came into the game over time - i wouldn't single him out.

[Milo]

Without Palhina and Mitrovic we look like relegation candidates.

(Okay, slight over reaction for the first game but it has been a pretty bad start!)

[jayffc]

Incredibly poor going forwards
Way too slow, we don't really know how to get Jiminez involved yet it seems.

Their press is pinning us every time

Andreas in at half time for me l, we need a quicker pivot at CAM than Cairney here
