Digne could've and should've had 3 or 4 assists.

Anyone can look good on a YouTube video I suppose
I don’t think he’s necessarily worth that, although Everton would surely demand it. Lukaku was 3 years ago, and the market has gone even more nuts since then.
80m baseline I reckon.
James Rodriguez skill and quality just shining through in this game a cut above
Can we have one fecking Premier League season where there's no Fulham, West Brom or Norwich stinking up the league? And guess who is currently sitting top of the Championship? Pointless clubs.
Cue the caf getting over excited about Everton and calling them title challengers by the end of the match.
Tbh, you could add us into that at the moment.
Agreed! I hope I don't see Norwich in the league for a few seasons. They offer zero. Fulham the same.
Iwobi looking like prime Ronaldinho.
We should be looking at DCL next summer. He looks a proper centre-forward and something we don't have.
He's the best player in the air I've seen this season, absolute monster when you put the delivery into him

Scott Parker a weird little bloke
Kudos to Ancelotti for changing system, though.
Fulham are a poor team how on earth do they keep on getting promoted out the championship?.
Why are Fulham playing such an open game?
They are making Everton look good. Get 10 men behind the ball like they will against us.

Brentford bottled the Championship playoffs.
His work ethic is debatable though despite them attacking qualities.
Bit harsh. Granted they may be the whipping boys (watch them turn into prime Barca against us), they obviously deserved to come up from the championship, where they've been given the opportunity to test themselves against the 'best'.
They didn't. Brentford were a much better team last season but bottled the last few games of the Championship to fall out of the promotion places and then bottled the playoff final. West Brom, Brentford and Leeds were all better than them.
Exactly! Fulham didn't bottle it, beat Brentford in the playoff, and deserved to come up.
Fact is, the premier league is a different ball game. Very few promoted teams seem comfortable in their first season.
You'd have most been saying the same thing about Brentford if they were in the prem instead of Fulham.
One thing I will say is, at least Fulham are trying to play football. Obviously not working out for them, but from a spectator's point of view, I'd prefer to see a team playing like this than playing with 11 men behind the ball.
Tetchy!
We may have bet them but Everton are a much better team than us.
I think Brentford would have done a Leeds and brought some entertainment value to the league despite hovering around the relegation spaces.
Well that's because they have a better coach. We have better players than them.
There not better it's because Fulham are utter crap. You should of seen them against Southampton a couple of weeks ago even before the sending off they were terrible.
Seconded. Get Forest, Sheff Wed and the like up. Let's have some real fecking meat on the table, not these tepid yoyo libs.
Digne as a wing-back is a problem. Superb as a full back, too, of course, but the wing-back role gives him that extra attacking freedom. His quality in the final third, along with Iwobi's, has been fantastic.
Unfortunately both are sitting at the wrong end of the table. I'd take Blackburn back too, although we struggled a lot at Ewood Park and Blackburn would probably bring back Pedersen out of retirement to play against us.
Everton back in fifth. Life returning to normal.
We beat them and we were much the better team, despite conceding first.
Keep telling yourself that.
Predictions for the 2pm kick off? Feeling slightly optimistic with our midfield looking somewhat normal again
Far too relaxed this half. Need another goal to secure the win.
Rangers stomping the Scottish Premiership. Battering third placed Aberdeen after winning easily away at second place Celtic. Gerrard has proved to be a handy manager.
How he's transformed himself at Everton is nothing short of amazing. It's crazy France is gifted with so many good LBs and not enough RBs these days
If I was a betting man I’d go Westham which I am so I’m going Westham..
Haha this. West Ham have looked impressive this season.
Could be an interesting 20 mins or so if Fulham converts this pen.
Lookman should be nowhere near this.
