Wow. What a win! Everton score 3 great goals to beat Fulham 3-1. I've been following the Toffees for over 10 years now, and I think this was one of the most dramatic wins for Everton I've seen. Moyes MUST start my main man Drenthe from now on. He was definitely Man of the Match, IMHO, although Tim Howard came up with some terrific saves as well.
Disappointed Vellios seems to be a good sub only. He looks great after the 70th minute but apparently as a starter. ugh. not so good. Drenthe had a great strike but the little guy needs to stay on his feet. Sheesh. He fell down more than a Lebowski bowling pin.
Give the kid some time. He is 19 years old. Let him get some experience before we say he is only good off the bench
I would tend to disagree. Drenthe's knack for drawing fouls can come in very handy near the opponent's 18, since one of Everton's strong points is scoring off of set plays My main gripe with Drenthe is that he looks to do too much on his own, whether by taking a hopeful shot, or trying unsuccessfully to dribble around 2 or 3 players. He'd definitely be better off looking to pass more often in the opponent's third when the defense closes in on him.
they were all over him every time he had the ball, at least 3 on 1... and boy were they ever kicking... I was actually impressed with how often I saw him fighting to stay ON his feet!! but yeah, he needs to be a bit more team playerish, if he's a winger and not an out and out forward COYB!!! very shocking-in-a-good-way finish... gotta love Rodders' goal... seems to be his specialty
