Everton's players who were away on their international matches came back pretty much unscathed. Saha does not play as he's injured but Distin continues in the centre back position. New players Johnny and Billy are on the bench, so too are Yak and Felli. Everton also had the opportunity to be acquainted with former Everton striker - AJ.
Everton had a number of chance all in the 15th minute. A shot, a block, a shot, and then another block. Pienaar, Jo and even Rodwell took pot shots at the opposing goalkeeper.
Everton scored a sweet, sweet goal in the 32nd minute. From a free kick by Bainsey on the left channel, Timmy planted a firm header into the bottom left corner of the net. First time this season that Everton has scored in the first half. Fulham 0-1 Everton. Assist: Bainsey.
It was a lovely penetrating pass by Pienaar in the 42nd minute that saw Ossie creeping into the opposing goal area only to be stopped by the goalkeeper.
The second half was quite a dull but Fulham started to pull the strings. Neville has been making silly challenges and in the 56th minute, he has given one stupid free kick and subsequently, Fulham scored. How idiotic! Take Neville out!!! Fulham 1-1 Everton.
Everton needs to make a change and I got that wish (Not this way for him to leave the field) with Neville being stretchered out after a crunching tackle. Johnny comes in for Neville in the 64th minute. Jo is replaced by Felli in the 69th minute.
Everton has been pegged back by alot of tentative play and I really hope that Moyes is not trying to play defensive here as Everton's without a striker! And here we go. Without a striker, we are down by a goal in the 79th minute. What is Moyes thinking??????? Fuham 2-1 Everton.
Everton nearly scored in the 80th minute. Felli header, palmed away, Yobo hit a rebound but was cleared away. All so close but not close enough. Yak is in for Ossie. A little too late I suppose? Everton nearly scored again but all they have tried to do, has gone to waste!
Score: Fulham 2-1 verton
Scorer: Timmy
Assist: Bainsey
Subs: Johnny, Felli, Yak
