Finn balor Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Big weekend this one. If results go well we could be sitting pretty. I am hoping we play peanuts or Barkley alongside Barry and play Gerry,Kev from the start. I think we have enough defensively to hold them as they are a poor side. I'm going for a landslide score 5-0 Gerry hat trick,Kevin and lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'd want Barkley to drop back, Mirallas to play behind Lukaku and Deulofeu come in and start on the wing. He could do massive damage against them because they're a very old side. However, I suspect Osman came on against Arsenal because it'll be him that comes in for McCarthy.

Blue 250 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Fulham took a lot of stick a couple of weeks back for rolling over at anfield, would be nice to think they will turn up at Goodison with a similar game plan. How do you stop a rampant Everton, if we play like we did at Arsenal and Mirallas joins in the fun as well and wasn't there even talk about Baines being ready, then Fulham wont stop Everton. Martinez has at last got a platform, I bet he can't wait for the next opponent, Arsenal, United.....Fulham, he doesn't care and that's what his team will end up thinking.They can out pass Arsenal, they can certainly out pass Fulham (you would think),then it's a case of tight at the back and a couple of goals. I'd like to see Mirallas get back to top form, add that to all our other threats and Fulham could be in for a busy 90 mins. Martinez will handle the McCarthy loss as he did with Baines, he'll have a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Tempo. Get right at them and be relentless. Got to get an early goal and get a second. They may try and park the bus. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I dont think this will be as easy as people think as teams with a new manager never are as we found against Palace. I agree with dropping Barkley back and moving Mirallas/Pienaar/Deulofeu behind Lukaku. We may even find that one of Mirallas or Pienaar gets dropped so that Osman can play through the centre and Deulofeu can start on the wing, a bit like we did against Stoke. It feels nice knowing that we have positive options and different ways of approaching these types of tricky games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm hoping for a big win. I'd really like to see Howard Coleman Jags Distin Oviedo Barkley Barry Deulofeu Mirallas Pienaar Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm also of the opinion that we have to be careful and not over-confident. Fulham played well in their last game, their first under a new manager. Plus, it's often the case that teams that play well against the best play less well against the worst. Nonetheless, I feel confident we can win. Tactically, I would probably use this game to play some other members of the squad - Stones being a good example. Our (aging) defence has played tirelessly and deserves a little rotation. Plus, I would play Osman and give Pienaar a break. I would even start Naismith instead of Mirallas. So, my suggested team is: Howard Coleman Jagielka Stones Oviedo Barry Osman Naismith Barkley Deulofeu Lukaku Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm hoping for a big win. I'd really like to see Howard Coleman Jags Distin Oviedo Barkley Barry Deulofeu Mirallas Pienaar Lukaku This is the squad I'm hoping for. Very positive with creativity flowing all across the attacking middle. I have more confidence in Barkley's ability to drop back and defend than I do Osman's.

GoldfishMemory Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 This is the time when Everton under Moyes would get turned over, It will show the true level of our new manager if he can get the players to carry on their momentum after the last 4 games and bring us home into the new year with a string of wins. There's no doubt we have the momentum and the style to play all our upcoming opponents off the park I just hope we overcome the first hurdle against Fulham. I'm saying 3-0 it's time we got back to that solid rear line that doesn't concede. 5.5 hours without leaking a goal before the derby lets get back to that as a priority blues and it would be nice to see Lukaku back on the score sheet can't be the midfield doing all the work. Little appearance from Jelavic to bang in the last and get him firing again would be good too that boy was a sniper when he first came, what bloody happened?? Kick off time in Singapore 11:00 pm good job it's a Saturday means I can get a lil bit tipsy on 8 quid pints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I think Fulham will be encouraged by their win against Villa in the last game. They have some great players like Berbatov and Im also impressed by Kacaniclic. (although he is very much hot and cold) Its going to be a tough game because they will come to GP looking for a 0-0 draw. Lets just hope we can open them up. If we score early we can have a field day ala Stoke but if Fulham hold on for 60-70 minutes it will be difficult to get 1 past them. My prediction is 1-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is 1-0 Berba will be marked out of the game without Ossie or Barry breaking sweat, hes too slow and lazy. That said, he cant be ignored completely, just saying it wont take much energy from our CDM pair to nullify him (watch him score a hattrick now). Kacancalasiosikich is a decent player but again, we should be able to keep them quiet. Get Ossie to push a bit further up and pressure Parker and their play will break down, Karagounis too (the diving cheat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 this will be a real test for us. Ok we have proven we can lift ourselves for the big games, now we need to come of a good result/results in big games and lift ourselves again for a match that we should win. Remember how we were playing before the stoke match? it's only three matches that we have looked really good in. Before that we were starting to look dodgy again. I do feel that we may have turned that corner now and i expect us to Beat Fulham comfortably. They do have some good players, but nowhere near our quality. Going for a 4.0.

Hafnia Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Absolutely huge game, bigger in many respects to the arsenal game. That was about the performance, this is about the result, we need to nail these teams and ensure we can get ourselves up for them.

Guest Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thinking about the game, fulhams midfield trio consist of Parker,sidwell and the greek lad who is probably 37. I think if we play Barry alongside peanuts and have Kev,gerry and Ross go at them with pace. Riise anyone? We will run over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ross, Gerry, mirallas, lets give them pace and trickery to worry about. Any regained confidence from the villa game will soon diminish. We are going to miss McCarthy... Hoping we get our attacking element to diminish the need to have his unreal energy in stoppin them getting a foothold. Massive player for us.

pete0 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 ___________Howard ______Jags_Heitinga_Distin Coleman______________Oviedo ________Barry__Pienaar Naismith___Lukaku___Mirallas Feeling nervous, Fulham due a win and on a high. I'd go for a steady Moyes' game plan at first and once the Fulham players tire switch to Bobbies finest and let Barkley run riot with Deulofeu.

pete0 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 @Patto Heitinga is our best suited defender to counteract Berba's technique. Plus 3 at the back with him would help us keep the ball even more, which I think we should do in the 1st half to knock the wind out of Fulham's sails. @Brett After the results we had against the big boys there is a little danger the players may become over confident and get caught out. So Naismith for his hard work, save the flair for the second half. Plus the xmas period is busy, best time to utilise the squad.

Hafnia Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 forget what they can threaten us with... maximise our threat to them. as long as those flair players do it with intensity we could win 5-0...

pete0 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 We can forget about their threat, but it's the busiest fixture period of the season. Pointless going all out v Fulham at home. Everton/Moyes' biggest downfall was using the same eleven each week, luckily we now have Martine, who will hopefully get the balance right.

Matt Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Had an amazingly vivid dream we won a game 5-2. Opposition wasn't Fulham, couldn't tell who it was to be honest. Just remember we were 4-1 up, then Barry scoring at each end to make it 5-2. We'll see I guess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 These will be the type of games that Deulofeu thrives in so I would definitely be starting him. Based on our last few games I dont think there is any need whatsoever to make too many changes. Barkley was exceptional in the second half against Liverpool when he dropped deeper so I would move him there again. In time I think that will be his best position anyway. I think I would then go with Pienaar in the advanced role because his work rate will help out Barkley but Osman could do the same job if Bobby wants Pienaar on the left. If that happened Mirallas would probably drop to the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztoffee Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 These next few games are really important....we need to nail these fixtures against 'lesser' teams (no disrespect).Pick up 12 points from the next 4 games while Spurs, L'pool, Citeh and Chelski are dropping points against each other and we're really into the top 4 in a good way. We've already played these teams in this half of the season, time now for them to show what they're made of. My predictive talents are zero, but can't help thinking 3-0. Lukaku x 2 and Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 All we need to do is go out with the same mind set as stoke. Don't show them too much respect and attack from the off.three attacking midfielders today. Finish the game in the first half if we can.the good thing under rm is we will have majority possession, meaning we concentrate on ourselves rather than opposition.
