Bobby De Cordova-Reid is determined to help Fulham bounce back from their two cup defeats when they take on Everton in tonight’s Premier League clash at Craven Cottage.
The Jamaican international, whose goal secured three points for Fulham at Goodison Park back in August, knows the visitors will be fired up to register another away win and may spy an opportunity to inflict more pain on Marco Silva’s side.
“Obviously we’ve been doing well against Everton but that doesn’t mean anything. We know what they’re going to bring to the table. We have to exploit their weaknesses, but obviously go into the game with confidence and hopefully get the three points. I think we’re prepared. We obviously want to put it right after two results that went against us. I think we need to get back on form and have that consistency going into the league.”
De Cordova-Reid has made a virtue of his versatility, appearing in a number of positions for the Whites this season, and is likely to be called upon again tonight after Harry Wilson’s shoulder injury.
“I think it’s good for the manager because he may not have to make a sub – he can just move me around different positions! I consider myself a good listener, so when we’re doing tactics I understand what different roles need, and I think the manager understands that and has trust in me. He’s trusted me to do a lot of roles and trusts me on the pitch as a leader. I’m thankful for that and I want to keep repaying him with good performances.”
