Everton has been off colour for the first few matches of the season and has dropped many points. Not much have changed. They are still off-colour. But the only thing going for them is that they are now picking up points.
This game is really a tale of former players - AJ and Davis formerly from Everton, and Saha formerly from Fulham. The Toffees started with a 4-5-1 formation which Moyes favoured in the last few seasons.
The game saw Felliani threatening a couple of times, one of his strike even hit the post. But it was not all one way street as AJ made a nuisance of himself. Though everything seemed to play on monotone as the entire play really lack lustre and half time did not come quick enough.
Second half talks did not lift the spirits of the players and the crowd was really getting frustrated. Things got worrying for Everton as Fulham continued to peck at Everton, twice they hit the goal post. It was not like doomsday at the Emirates when Tottenham struck fear in Arsenal, but it felt like a graveyard at Goodison. Yak didn't look any where near scoring form, and Timmy was heading his ball everywhere except into the goal.
It was only in the 86th minutes that Ossie managed to put a lovely ball into the box for Saha to score his first goal with a bullet-like header. So so fortunate! Everton sees their second clean sheet and their first win at home.
