For when they think Luis Suarez and debate go hand in hand a or should that be arm in mouth? a' thatas nothing compared with Everton and three factors when Fulham are in town. Not since 1959 have the Cottagers left Goodison with a good single point. After yesterday, yesteryear 20 group sessions have ended in defeat. It's the worst run of results ANY top-flight group has against yet another. So if David Moyes was going to mark his 50th birthday with a game title against anyone, he couldn't have hand-picked better opponents. EVERTON chef David Moyes insists his side may get a handle on their very own Euro-spot fate after 1-0 make an impression on Fulham Don't be confused by the area of the scoreline often. There might have now been Just a goal between them but, for long periods, they certainly were leagues apart. And because of Steven Pienaar remembering his or her own small milestone a 150 Premier League activities for the Blues a' with the champion, Moyesa European dream continues to be Beingshown to people there. The Goodison gaffer, who brought up his individual half-century on Thursday, had his language to date in his cheek it absolutely was a wonder he could get the language out when he said: aOh, aye, Iall be having a celebration a' a genuine Scottish rave with no English there!a But he was as serious being an separate biting hearing when he admitted: aWe still have the opportunity of Europe but weall probably have to get our last three games. COTTAGERS manager admits his side were not at the races in 1-0 defeat to Everton at Craven Cottage aEven then, if the groups above us keep earning there wonat be described as a lot we can do. aAll we may do is gain our fits and trust the others slip up a' but we've already crushed last yearas full with this particular one today.a To tell the truth, it absolutely was a shock Everton weren't out of sight by half-time, so dominant were they and so tired their opponents. It took them only 15 minutes to locate a way through and, even though complete It self was easy enough, the build-up would have adorned any sport. Leon Osman was involved twice, playing a clever one-two with Kevin Mirallas before acquiring Seamus Coleman, and Pienaar was on hand to sweep in his combination at the far post. Moyes had insisted the South Africanas displays had dipped a little of late. If it was meant to initiate him in to action, it certainly had the required Result. TASTY PIE... Steven Pienaar slots in for Everton His director admitted: aSteven knitted us together and obtained an excellent goal. aIt was a delicate move, an excellent end and it will do him the world of good.a Pienaar was absolutely top drawer against Fulham, mixing beautifully down the left with Leighton Baines throughout. His understanding with Mirallas a' who gave still another perfect effectiveness a' is also developing so effectively there's plenty to be optimistic about on the blue Half Merseyside. Two fantastic Pienaar-Baines combinations put up Marouane Fellaini but his first work flashed broad and the next struck team-mate Victor Anichebe, preventing it from sneaking in the post. Fulham would have worked up a better sweat in a warm-down than they did for the reason that first half when, seriously, they were abysmal. ON THE MARK... Steven Pienaar slots previous Mark Schwarzer Their one touch of a danger came when Kieran Richardson drilled a combination in front of goal but just too much for Mladen Petric, on after 30 minutes when Dimitar Berbatov took a leg muscle. And Urby Emanuelson had much more time and space than he noticed when significant Broad Alex Kacaniklicas pull-back. At the other end rookie Ross Barkley was denied an amazing solo work only by the diving Mark Schwarzer, who also reacted effectively to beat away a Mirallas volley. When he met a superb and the unmarked Fellaini needs to have finished any doubts Heavy mix from Baines, only to grow his angled volley into the ground and over. MIRALL BOOST... Kevin Mirallas gets the better of Alex Kacaniklic Not that you truly ever expected that to have any bearing on the result. Also Martin Jol knew that. The Fulham chief said: aIt was only 1-0 and, with a little of luck, we will have got a point. On the other hand, they might have had several targets. aIf your home form is very good you are able to live with that absent form a' but we've lost in the same way many there as well.a BERB YOUR ENTHUSIASM...
