I wish I'd been there ... when I saw the scenes, I was jealous

AWAY END LOOKED FANTASTIC AS BLUES GRABBED SUPERB WIN

- Michael Ball

WHEN I saw footage of the away end at Fulham I was jealous. I was not able to get to Craven Cottage on Saturday but when I saw the fun the travelling support were having before, during and after the game it just looked amazing.

It looked so good, particularly after Everton took the lead in the second half, but I have to admit I had not expected the Blues to be celebrating when the line-ups dropped at 1.45pm. Going to Fulham is often difficult and seeing the absence of Jake O'Brien through injury was an early blow.

My expectations dropped even further through the early stages of the game as Fulham took the lead and looked the better side. Everton were too passive, too slow, and with little to play for the team looked liked one that had already pulled out their flip-flops.

The hosts took advantage and I was really disappointed with Raul Jimenez's goal.
