Ian Snodin: Everton FC just need to pick up some luck at Birmingham City
SUNDAY'S game at Birmingham City promises to be very tough given their record - but I wouldn't swap any of our players for theirs.[LNB]Going unbeaten at St Andrew's in a year is a tremendous record for Alex McLeish's men but we can go there confident, despite our start to the season.[LNB]When I compare the two sides, there is not one Birmingham player I would have in the Everton team.[LNB]And when McLeish looks at the teamsheets at the weekend he would take at least six of Everton's players if he could - without a doubt.[LNB] We played reasonably well at Fulham on Sunday and dominated possession in what was never going to be an easy game, especially with the way things have panned out so far.[LNB]In many respects, given our lack of goals and Fulham having a few injuries with their strikers, the game had 0-0 written all over it.[LNB]People were saying it wasn't a good result, especially as we went bottom of the table on Saturday night, but I would argue a point at Craven Cottage is something not to be sniffed at.[LNB]If the Blues had started the season a little brighter and were say, six or seven points better off, then most people would have been hailing that as a valuable point, gained from another solid performance away from home.[LNB]In no way am I concerned the side are propping up the table, we are only six games into the campaign.[LNB]If we're still there after say 15 matches, then you'll see me worried.
