It's got to be a game, we've got to be going to look to win. We're in good form now, we've picked up after, you know, we keep saying it, the break, the 17 day break and we're being on a good run, the last six games we've won four of them, four wins to draw in the defeat and the defeat we threw away. So yeah, this is a game against the team that's struggling, you know, they're relegated, they're not in great form, they've lost nine on the spin. So it's a case of a team who isn't confident but will give everything for Scott Parker because I've seen the last couple of games and certainly a crazy cottage, even narrowly beaten by Liverpool with a late penalty and then City beat them the other week. Had a bit of a canter but they've made the fist of it, so you know, it'll be a tough game but it's a game, hasn't it? I think that's the interesting thing isn't it? It's because the last three games, obviously two tough home games and a game against Westam which is like, you know, you look at it and go, that's a difficult game on paper, the way they home record. So this game, everyone's looking at it and going, everything should win this, everything should win this game. And that brings with a different pressure doesn't it because when that happens, certainly when you're not the underdog or you're not expected to win, the other pressure comes on you then to go win the game and I think that'll be the difference Saturday and that'll be an interesting thing to see for this Everton team because, okay, like the Huddersfield game probably, well the Cardiff game we would expect us, I imagine, to go and win even though we haven't been on a great run, we went and won it, we went in the end, we were comfortable. The Huddersfield game we were expected to win, we did win it, it wasn't as comfortable. But there haven't been too many like that this season but I think if we can approach it like that, take the game to them, which we should anyway because when we play well, we are a good football team. So I'm hoping Saturday, Saturday, that's one of them, Saturday, we go down to Craven Cottage and we really put in a dom and display and hopefully take the three points and make it four in a row. Listen, we're on a really good run, we've been super, the last two and a half games, the last two and three quarter games, you know, the opening 25 minutes against Chelsea wasn't great but after that we settled and we gave as good as we got and we could have won by more, West Ham we should have won by more, Arsenal we should have won by more, Newcastle for an hour was very, very good, so 65 minutes was very good, Cardiff was good, Liverpool was good, so they're in good form but you're right and this one, I think I said to you on Monday before we started doing the final way, the thing was that I'll find more out about this team this Saturday almost than what I did on Sunday. I mean what I did, what we've done the last two home games, we've played against two teams, you were desperate to finish in the soft form and we've absolutely bossed it, okay Chelsea was a bit more difficult but when we got a grip on the game we bossed it, Sunday we bossed it from start to finish, bar and 10 minutes after half time, we controlled it against teams, we've got a lot of quality because we've got a lot of quality but you're right, we're going here, pressure's on us against the team, we've got nothing to do with the down, we've got literally nothing to lose but you know, it's an opportunity for Everton and you know Everton with the win on Saturday, that's 49 points, the same point what we got last year which still four games to go, so there's an incentive, particularly for the manager who said we have to improve on Monday last year, that was the goal at the start of the season was to be better than last year and I think we are in a lot of situations this is an opportunity for Everton to go to Fulham, if he were to win it would be the sixth away game we've won this season which is not bad for Everton, it's normally like you know the other way isn't it, so it'd be six away games that we've won which is not bad and 49 points with four games to go then you start looking and thinking well what can this team achieve because then you're going into Man United the week later, it's not a free game because it's a home game well if you've won four on the spin and who knows how they'll do against Barson if they get through against Barson the Champions League or whatever their eyes might be focused elsewhere as well so you're building a good bit of momentum but this is a game that I expect Everton to go out and I expect Everton to show their quality that's what I'm expecting of the weekend yeah then listen Fulham came up, they were brilliant last season, everyone was expecting oh not everyone's some people were expecting more of them because of the money they'd spent but you know they spent it incorrectly as far as I'm concerned they didn't give players that with last season they got them up a chance do you think they should have just stuck with you kind of it yeah some Fulham fans will will probably say no because they wasn't working but I just thought he got sweat away get them up I think the problem you can somehow sometimes have is a promoted side is and it's quite unfair really on the managers because you do brilliant and get you're up and then you get up and you find out how tough the Premier League is and then the managers are just axed regardless and then someone new comes in and I just think he played that they were really good to watch last season now okay he's made some mistakes in the in the early part of the season but the Premier League's unforgiven and he's not a Premier League manager now the experience wasn't so the experience for him would have done him good yeah they've ended up you know I think a strange appointment putting him in and yeah that was a strange appointment as far as I was concerned and you know obviously drawn to Scott Parker now who will set me set up for next season for you know I think you'd be a good manager for them no I do I just think they got it wrong I think they got it wrong they didn't quite twist and they didn't quite stick you know you look at Cardiff they've stuck and have gone with what they've got and to me fair Wolves have as well just that Wolves had a very good team last year they've added a couple of players and they got loaned to things like that they got him and as in the score goal stop yeah Matino and the goalkeeper obviously but a lot of the team with us full of sort of what I couldn't understand is full of replaced the players who were good for them last season you know like Session and Tom Kearney in field they're the kind of players that you would have gone go into the Premier League I think their aspirations were just too big for the start of the season where the aspiration should have been for them staying the Premier League or even if you go down laying from the year in the Premier League everyone laying from it I mean when they come to Godderson they actually started pretty well and for the first you know Session had a chance early on which he should have buried he hits the bar and you know coming to the second half and the game turns out and we end up winning the game quite comfortably for a little bit though when Sigurdsson missed the penalty you know you were a little bit like not not not well he's the right way but thinking well we're not taking that opportunity any game isn't it? Nill Milk can go either way and I'm full of my confidence then it was early on he went through one down by by defeats and stuff and you're right he played he played okay some nice stuff early on and then the game leveled out and it was a bit but once Ed didn't suck the lead it was there was already really going to be won they're confident it went but I agree with you Tom Kearney I think it's a really good place in a lot of them last season Session is a fantastic talent but again a lot was put on his shoulders coming into the Premier League it's the the gap between the Premier League and the Championship is it's big because the quality of play you're up against is it's so different when you make errors Fallon will have made errors last season and I've watched a few of the games he played some fantastic stuff in the back the dealer made errors and got away with it so it did he weren't losing too much momentum we're in the Premier League when you're making errors you're getting punished go go I think the other thing about it is though by not playing those players not giving them the Premier League experience I know they've played they have played games but what I mean is is that it's a long season and you could find yourself playing half of a season and those play at lads playing half a season and winning exactly the same amount of games that they've won now but then they could be coming in now to the final third be needing middle fighting yeah needing four or five wins look at Carter for right Carter for the moments of five points below Southampton with the game in hand but those lads that he's got this season over the level game sorry sorry um yeah because he played the week before didn't he and that's a tough ask of course it is a very tough ask but Cardiff have got themselves in a situation when they first started the season everyone was looking at them going oh they're they're gone straight away no I I mean we've said it I didn't see them getting to 30 points maybe they will maybe they won't put the point being is that they've given themselves a chance and they haven't done anything radically different and we know we know the circumstances that they've had to deal with that this this season um put all our might to keep them up but but but but they brought in the ass in as well and the ass really hasn't added anything other than a bit of energy so it's still it's still their players that you have in the season doing that doing the putting the efforts in and making things and you just wonder where they're fooling I'd say to those players at the beginning right let's get us to January let's see where we are and then maybe we'll go into the market and and and have a look obviously they both um they made um Mr. Rich's deal payments yeah which are the right things which is obviously yeah he's got goals and he's got a few goals this season yeah they brought Ryan babbling in January seems to have done quite well yeah um but I don't think he'd be sticking around um and you just you just think well some of those players that like Secession have literally missed out on a season of Premier League I know he's been in and out I know he has but you just think there's a few players there for someone who could have really I think I'm late and the manager fallen fans will will tell us different you know when you're watching this but Secession for me he started off as a left back last season and that was how he was the weapon he was the secret weapon yeah because he was a lad that is supposedly playing in defence yeah so defenders will have known he was decent but if you're not focused on him and when he pushed them higher up the pitch I know he still scored some goals but it kind of nullified him particularly in the Premier League people was marking tighter where I think if they've just left them I think he'd have done because you're not going to go man for man on a left back not happens I think he'd have done more for them and Kenny I think he's got 10 goals which is excellent and it's he's not struggled do you think he'll stay a full um well apparently apparently he's moving to China for 300 grand a week 40 45 million okay good luck to you that's what a couple of this that's what a couple of the news feeling to those that was yes he has but I think what the story is going on particularly this week and it'll happen when you're at Premier League team you were going down there the links with China big contract listen if someone's going to pay him 300 grand a week he'd probably be silly to turn it down and now people are going well now he should stay in the Premier League but it depends what you're going to pay him he's done okay he's a unit difficult to contend with at times but he got some decent play I think the big one for me was Sery and I'm not saying he shouldn't have bought him but he's been a big miss for them the bottom in he's not done what it said on the tin for him you know yeah and maybe that money might have been spent better on another centre I know he brought Alfie Morsley and we both like that yeah yeah he's been in and out injured as they come in injured sign them injured and it just didn't really it hasn't worked out as well for them and they've got I watched them you know they had a few kids as well few young lads who look lively playing for them and you think if they can if they can build around them next season in the Champions year I think I think personally they've just been really naive this season I think maybe what they should have looked at done is bring brought in a couple of older heads to just just be just steady them and be you know in and around the squad and maybe in a couple like a centre midfielder you know or or a centre back either like ice-cop Parker didn't he from about three or four years ago do you know this will sound stupid because you wouldn't you wouldn't say you wouldn't they wouldn't have signed them but they could actually could have done this season with someone like a Mark Noble yeah do you know what I mean I know he's not saying he would have been available but that kind of player he's been around knows the knows the division knows how to grind results so because he's a he's a good captain because he gets everyone going and he's in the referee's ear you know I'm not saying he's a fantastic and for them I've probably got midfielder plays you know I've got more of a possibility than them but you need that and there are players like that about that I think that maybe they should have looked at who can just be in and around who's got that Premier League pedigree and and just even if they don't play every game can just help the other players we've spoke we spoke this week about everything possible we keep them filled to our gilken next season and laying veins and obviously at the back of what filled in on Sunday and you look at those players and think they they're the players that are worth the weight in gold because they offer something they offer that experience on on off the pitch and we have everyone's fixated on or what did he do on the pitch but you're trained for five of the days a week or whatever four of the days a week good happens yeah we're players are players are telling you you know keep an eye out for this lad last time we played this slide or whatever you know he'll try and take you on you'll try and take you down the side or whatever there's loads of that kind of thing that I think for young players they need and I think we're full on this season they just missed out on that or that because they didn't have a Premier League manager see that's where Warner was cleverer because he's been up and down he knows stuff you know whether people think he does or not he's clever it's why it's why Palace have got a 70 year old manager it's because he's been in and the Premier League he understands but don't they the problem I suppose full of it full of it's so to speak both full of him I've always been a good footballer and see having me and now listen when he first come up they were tough as well you know Chris Coleman the manager and he had Barry Ailes and he'd give you the kick in and they were they were hard but they go play and he had some brilliant players Steve Madman who I thought was a fabulous player and when they had to go on as the manager for a bit they had Louisa Hart but they had almost like what Wolves have got now they had like a conveyor belt of like French internationals and they were very good players and attacking him they were really good and then obviously you know they have Martin Yaw for a bit and he was a good manager and then Mark Hughes was you know don't know right there but then so they've had they have had but they've always tried to play good football and they're still trying to play it now if you look at how they play they're still the passes are around 490 a game which is for a team like Fulham you know in the position they're in I mean they're still trying to pass it and move it and that's fine but you do need that little bit of steel as well they are naive I watch them against Man City and should they have gone for Pulas or something no I wouldn't go down that track but the buddies got the experience but I'm to my players with the experience rather than the manager I watch them against City you know what's the way they can see they've both gone by giving the ball away high up the pitch and I think that's an opportunity for us on Saturday pressing them high up the pitch trying to make the ball off them and if we've got the quality hopefully putting them to bed and that's that's where where we have got to capitalise you know the last couple of games you know we scored three goals when really we should have scored seven or eight I mean that we really should have and that's not even being that's not even being like you know where we've looted into glasses you know we should have been scoring but we had 23 attempts at goal on Sunday against Arsenal who could have gone third which tells you the dominance that evident and the ability that Evan have got on this side we've wasted so many West Ham should have been four or five at that time and you know even at the end and you know we know what BT are like we're giving Evan any praise and you've got Jake Humphrey saying it was two it probably should have been ten that's how that's how the gulf between those two sides were you know and I mean it's a bad evident can we be the thing I'm looking for us now can we be a little bit more clinical we know we'll get chances at the weekend because we create chances against everybody now now that the Mojo's back and people are passing and moving it and stuff can we be clinical we haven't been clinical we've that game Sunday should have been done and it probably should have been done at half time we had opportunities to make it two nil near the end we should have killed it we didn't hence them getting the corner in the six minutes of injury time you're thinking please don't concede here because they don't deserve it on Saturday we have to try and put these away early on but you know they've won four home games all season they haven't won an away game full and won four games we lost I think the home record is so one four drone three lost nine okay scored 19 can see the 32 so they put the ball in the net you know more than one a game at home so that's the the danger for us Evan's obviously Evan with that win on Sunday have now got the seventh best home record which is an improvement away from home Evan won five away games as we said before and Evan have scored 22 goals so it's a team they're going to give us chances can we can we take them is the big thing and you know obviously they're danger man as you just said before is Mitrovich ten goals and two assists this season you know so for Evan can we get crosses in the box full of my particularly weak of that kind of thing you know and that's about us then being able to get on the end of it I mean we're looking at the likes of Dominic Alvidlum can he add to his goals he's playing superbly well yeah can he add to his goals because this is the kind of game where he's going to get opportunities can he take them can he put them to bed I mean just looking at this is an independence right talking about fulham's weaknesses finishing score and chances weak protect them the lead weak stopping opponents and create good weak what fulham is strong that is coming back from losing positions okay now I remember the game before Christmas I think they were two nil down to brighten it up time and he won four two yeah so he've had a couple of those occasions where they've been able to battle back in the game and I did remember them playing Westam around Christmas and he batted Westam he batted Westam Westam one two nil yeah so there are teams who will create chances I mean if you look on it like the head to head on the chances it's they create 12 or 13 chances a game and Everton create that as well it's just Everton have been a little bit more clinical than what what fulham have been fulham's recent record as horrendous Everton's is decent and in the last six meetings Everton have won four of the six so statistically wise it favours Everton but it means nothing no means absolutely nothing so I think the weekend we've got it we've got to get older the ball like we did on Sunday against Arsenal move them about a bit yeah and then try to utilize we've got to make sure we've got to make sure this isn't one of those games this isn't like you know Everton and that Everton that kind of game it's got it they've lost six in a row we've got to be nine in a row is it nine in a row but what what that brings with it is a lack of confidence no I know doesn't so what you have to do then is put them to exactly if Everton can get tune it up because Everton have scored the last three away games have scored two yeah two or more even so if Everton can get that um that lead then you can start keeping the ball a bit then and their confidence is going to be low you know we know what it's like when your confidence is down we had three months of it it's difficult when you can see do you start going I can't see anyway back in this game yeah just gotta get at them haven't we and and hopefully keep the way we've been playing I mean there's no reason why we can't keep playing the way we've been playing no no I mean obviously Michael Keane will be available again would you would you yeah you've got to you've got to listen you've got to you've got to you've got to use your head and you've got to understand the situation you've got to you know Jags is great and we love them but you know he would understand that Keane would come back into the side and and that's just the way it is and and the rest of the side stays stays how it is but I think what's good for the manager at the moment is though is that now we can say to those players who are playing well well the shape the shape yours but if you drop below that standard then I've got these players sitting on the bench I've got Shing Towson I've got I've got Theo I've got I've got Tom Davies you know even you know Adam all the luckling got on the pitch at the weekend and I'm listening I'm not saying they're banging on the door ready to take the places because we've we've only just got to settle side but it's that that thing isn't it's not it's it's not about getting to the top and I'm you know I'm so much staying in the team it's about it is about staying in there getting there sometimes easy and staying in there so you know for Dom he knows he's got to score more goals that's what I like about Dom is that he'll be the first to say well yeah running around and closing down people is the the basics that I've got to do that's what is expected isn't it yeah you know now it's about putting the ball on the back of the net and I just think when you look at it when you're looking at the likes of Don like Albert Lew and then he's his work rate of late has been fantastic and he led the line brilliantly on Sunday he's got to add goals so that and are we are are we are we insured that he's the number one striker by putting the ball on the back of the net exactly I think for me Dom you know following from 14 games you're out of clean sheets right which means the leaky which means that everything have to ensure that they take out and for us you know I could just said before we've had five clean sheets out of six so we're playing well as a team now but for someone like Dom get yourself in the areas where it matters it's great link in the play outside the box it's great winning that there's not that's brilliant and we love all that what I want to see him do in this weekend because when I've watched Fulham they're not the quickest at the back especially if Rean plays yeah or you know even when Dom ran a day of goodness and he brought him down for the penalty get Dom facing up and go him through because well these are the games aren't these are the games that for it let's say for the for a top end centre forward for Lacar who was something like that this is a game where you go this is where you get two this is where you get another game you get two this is where for the top centre forward some of the top centre forward this is where you make up your 25 30 goals a season I get twos against these and threes against someone else so Dom has got to be saying to himself well if I want to be keep the shade if I want to be the number nine next season this is where I've got to start putting the ball in the net against it's all right running your balance off against the Arsenal or the Chelsea these are the games well I've got just because at the end of the day to beat to win games 3 4 0 you centre forward it's got to be chipping in with a couple of goals that's it or even just to win these games because I'm listen I'm not taking this game for granted because I wouldn't take any game for granted I never tell you for god's sake but if you I reckon there's some brilliance to follow but oh no but forget about the point no no that's why I approach you because no no I approach every game I listen we win we we will never be the kind of the club that turns up and goes we expect to win this game you know but I don't want to say no no but we're just not that kind of fans no you know and it takes a lot to be like that but um you know Dom's got it I'm not like putting out the pressure but you'll be putting the pressure on himself and the manager will be putting that pressure on him as well as you got six goals six in the Premier League has made this season so six goals I mean Mitrovic playing in the team with the relegators got ten yeah but Mitrovic would be playing every single game that's the difference I'm saying so for Dom this is against the team that gives chances yeah and it does with the stats a date on me just saying it no no stats a day that they give the given 40 what about 15 off a team I mean we're coming into a situation now as well with you know we're not really talking about it but that's seven place we're in we're in the mix you can say that now we're in the mix Leicester have won the last four um obviously Wofford and Wolves are still above us as well yeah so this is a kind of game where we've got to go and take it and get three points isn't it because if you want to finish seventh whether you want to or you you don't I mean you want to finish as high as you can I mean for me I want it I want like you said earlier I want I want I want 50 points minimum this season yeah absolutely so it looks like so no nobody out there can say anything and it's we've done better and whatever category we'll have done better and there's hard evidence that we're going forward and we've finished seventh and it does it does end up with being a european place if sit you in the FA Cup then I'll then I'll take that I'm not necessarily looking at it at the moment but if we want that we've got to win a game like this I mean look we're on what I mean Leicester are on in seventh on 47 points from 33 games Wolves are 47 from 32 Evan of 46 from 33 yeah Wofford are 46 from 32 and then Westam are 43 from 33 so you know it looks like it's between us Leicester Wolves and Wofford it's 14 going for that place so you know Leicester at home at the weekend against Newcastle so although I fancy raffer to get a result there or be a draw or whatever if Evan wants to win then we'd be you know Wolves I can't remember who Wolves are playing but they'll probably they've got to keep the pressure away itself Anton you need the results right so say them two drew and we won we're being seventh then and then the pressure's on them to catch us then and that's what it has to be like for us we we there should be now for this team and for the Managing it will be for the Managing because he's he's wants to do well there should be a pressure of I want to nail my my play stand for next season in this side because I want us to go there because for every player who's here surely you want to play to your peak to drag the club to the peak I think we're seeing that now so the pressure's there to win and you're right if we're looking at that there's a we've got ourselves a point in it we win at the weekend we've equaled last season's points to tell you then can we go past it but again I'll be here today and like you just said it isn't gonna it's there's no easy games for them none at all and we have to go there and we have to do exactly what we did to Westam and that is match them and and press these high up the pitch with the likes of the Charleston with the likes of Bernard and then Dom who had he could have ended up with a hat trick at Westam and he didn't end up with a single goal these are the games that he has to go I'm gonna take that and if he can you know what if he can come out of this with a goal and ever win the game he'll feel fantastic it'll be another slip over for me like the card if game you win the game 3-0 he gets and he gets a ball then he's done his job if he's played well so he scored a new castle didn't he you know he was unlucky at Westam he probably should have scored at Westam so that's couple two of the last three away games he scored so you know lead the line like you do get on the end of things and and if we do that and if we do our jobs right yeah we should win the game but it'll be a tough game let us know your thoughts in the comments full on fans if there's anyone watching we listen we know we get we have away fans let us know your thoughts on anything we've discussed about your team and I'm waiting to come wrong this season you know should you've kept your manager in place yeah who's been the star I wanted to say that but I'm full of cold and I just wouldn't come out really bad and who's been your stand-up man this season and what are your thoughts on the game blues are you confident is this a must win can you see anything else but a victory for Evertonian of course you can't
