Everton roared and Fulham succumbed to their mortal mauling. 4-1 is the largest thrashing given by Everton to any of their previous opponents. This is three points with satisfaction. This is three points to announce their desire to play in Europe next season. Great job of turning a goal down to a magnificant victory. I predicted a 3-0 scoreline, but though the scoreline is wrong, the goal margin is indeed three.
One good thing is that if we look at the last two matches, our defenders and defensive midfielder - Lescott, Stubbsy and Cars - have all nicked in a goal, and even youngsters such as Vaughny and Anichebe has also contributed to the goal-scoring effort.
Anyway, to add a little dampener, it's not over until the dust settles. We still have Bolton to contend with, and clubs like Tottenham and Portsmouth are biting at the heels of the Toffees. Like I'd said in my last entry, the Toffees has to start winning matches. They will need at least three wins and a draw to make it a certainty for Europe. Better still, if they can win all six matches.
