After Dembele's injury this past week, speculation is that Clint and Zoltan Gera will start up top for Fulham. Tim Howard will almost certainly start in goal for Everton.
Fulham 01 Schwarzer 02 Kelly 03 Salcido 05 Hangeland 18 Hughes 11 Gera 13 Murphy 16 Duff 20 Etuhu 23 Dempsey 29 Davies Substitutes 38 Etheridge, 06 Baird, 32 Halliche, 17 Riise, 27 Greening, 15 Kamara, 21 Johnson Howard, of course, starts in goal for Everton.
Hmmm, interesting, I wonder who's the 1st offensive sub(assuming Fulham need it, of course) Kamara or EJ, it probably depends on how healthy Kamara is.
If healthy there would likely be no question, but given Kamara only has a 70 minute reserve fixture appearance under his belt, who knows?
Dempsey insults Howard by hitting a weak shot from 40 yards. EDIT: Haha, wow, I think my stream is way behind.
Not the most entertaining half. Everton had a lot more of the ball, but didn't create much. As for Fulham, well, what can you realistically expect from a team playing midfielders as forwards? I thought Salcido looked good. It's early days, but Fulham looks to be the winner in the Konchesky to Liverpool deal.
I thought Fulham's big problem was their midfield, they were getting outworked and outnumbered by Everton's midfield. They started coming back into the game a little more towards the end of the half.
Yeah yeah, I know. But this is Johnson's third straight game, and I certainly didn't expect him to get subbed on at 54".
