The major controversy from the League Cup clash against Stoke was the injury suffered by Moussa Dembele. His injury, along with Bobby Zamora and Andy Johnson’s respective injuries leave us with a threadbare attack ahead of the Everton game.
Based on the reports that Mark Hughes sees Clint Dempsey as a striker and Zoltan Gera being on the bench for the Premier League clashes, it seems there are three attacking pair’s to choose from – Dempsey/Gera , Dempsey/Johnson or Dempsey/Elm.
Seeing as Dempsey and Gera are both attacking midfielder’s by nature, it strikes me as lacking the target man or a focal point at the head of the attack, despite the quality of both players.
David Elm seems out of favour with Hughes and height, he would surely be lacking in the match practice to feature from the off.
That leaves us with Dempsey and his best mate Eddie Johnson. Johnson has featured from the bench this season and his pace and understanding with Dempsey seems like an attractive option to play against Jagielka and Distin. Personally, this would be my preferred option but who would the Fulham faithful like to see up top against Everton?
