(Photo by Steve Bardens\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This result showed the kind of stomach a team need to move up the table. Craven Cottage is always a tricky place for visiting teams to get a result. The first half showed some holes in the defence that let Fulham score. However, the players came out much stronger after the break.<\/p>\n<p>That change in energy turned the whole game around. Still, the team had work to do. Giving up goals when they seemed in control remained a problem. Those mistakes would cost them against better teams.<\/p>\n<p>The midfielders started running the game much better in the second half. Their control opened up the space the forwards needed. Because of that, the attackers finally made their chances count. This kind of fight is what makes a season successful. However, constantly having to come from behind is a dangerous game.<\/p>\n<p>The manager need to fix that before the next round of games. To keep this run going, the players have to set the tone from the first whistle. They cannot wait for something to go wrong before they wake up. In the end, beating a confident Fulham side provided a strong foundation. But the squad must play well for the full ninety minutes if they want to compete with the best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Moyes spoke to the BBC\u2019s Match of the Day after Everton\u2019s recent win against Fulham.
