Lyndon,

It just goes to show, you play well, as we did at Chelsea and Spurs and you get nothing. You produce one of the worst first half performances of the season and you still manage to come away with a two goal victory. It's a crazy game!

Next weekend is another must win game as on paper Everton have the more difficult run in. However, let's take it one game at a time and enjoy the run in.

The first half was ONLY 'poor' in some people's eyes due to the fact that Fulham were constantly in our faces, chasing every ball down or crowding us out... from the first to 45th. We had some good play and good touches, but just couldn't settle. Standard tactic for a team fighting relegation.

I think we planned for it and soaked it up... They would tire in the second half, which is when we'd pick them off. We don't have to win games in the first half... Tactics / strategy does come into it. Goal difference is improving, our confidence & self belief is growing and some 'leaders' are showing themselves...

MotM: McCarthy just thwarted by Howard.

Arsenal will be a tough game. They'll pressurise from first minute. Midfield battle with Arteta! Would love to see a 2-0 win but will probably end up 2-2.

Let's be really honest about things here.

Was the game yesterday away to Fulham ever going to be a easy stroll in the park?.. Away from home against a team fighting for their Premier League status??.

After witnessing Crystal Palace battle tooth and nail for a victory at home to Chelsea the day before, I knew that we were going to be in for more of the same at Craven Cottage, a ground where we have had some poor results over the years.

To win that match on the back of the Newcastle win was fantastic.

The substitutions from Martinez were once again inspired and Naismith again lives up to his 'unstylish Tim Cahill' status in my eye's.

Every time this guy comes on or starts I cannot help but love the effort and the actual positions he gets himself in. Naismith always seems to be in a goalscoring position and whatever people say about his lack of natural ability, he is always likely to score goals.

I also feel McGeady is coming to something like the players I knew we were getting, looks very confident and is a safe bet to take a full back on and get quality balls forward.

It all sets up the Arsenal game for a phenomenal day at Goodison Park.
I still believe 4th is Arsenal's to throw away but we can really put pressure on them if we beat them.

We have not beaten the Gunners since March 2007, that is something that we have to change and records are there to be broken..

Another win. On we roll. Not only that, but some stuff today that showed how good Stones could be. The ability to bring the ball out from the back from centre half is rare in the Premier League. Looked at ease when doing so today.
