"I'm satisfied in front, but we have to be better at the back."

Describes the situation with me and the missus to be honest.

I really don't get the first goal - mina just kept backing away.

Is that how you guys would defend it? I would try to keep tighter, so the west brom player couldn't shoot, but still a yard ahead so he doesn't get beat.

She’s a former player but she clearly forgot who we played first.

I am former player on a Sunday and nobody asks me to speak on the BBC

What about that pass from James to Digne lol

Utter filth

 

[andy4efc]

What foul is Billic alluding to?

 

[Barnfred 55]

"Without Calvert-Lewin where are we going to get the goals from?"

Words I never thought I'd ever hear. lol

Total bollox by the way. Richy could very easily have scored more than DCL over the last 2 games and James also could have had more than 1.

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

Utter filth

Just to have someone on the pitch who can do that is amazing.

The last sentence was the best .

 

[Wat Tyler]

Anyone notice Digne and Coleman kept bombing miles forward and then Gomes and Doucouré (and then Sigurdsson) would fill in for them at full back.

What is she talking about. Good lord is she is ill informed

4-2-3-1 rn, Iwobi and Richy in the wings, Siggy at 10 (facepalm)

Thought the most impressive thing was us coming back to get the lead at half time.

what Marco Silva failed at, basically.

No wonder West Ham fans/ players were fuming with losing that young lad Diangana, looked really good today and took his goal superbly well.

West Brom boss Slaven Bilic, speaking to BT Sport about Kieran Gibbs' red card: "It was a red card. He reacted on something James had done to him. You can't do it, I told him that.

"When he clipped him he did not go down and doing things a lot of Premier League players do. But he made a mistake."

On his own red card: "If there is a recording, I had done nothing. I complained, I think as a manager I have every right. It was at half time. I was frustrated, came to him but he started to go.

"I was sure I did not swear, I only explained the situation for the first goal. If the VAR is checking for a minute or even longer then they could see there was a foul in the build up. If you have those eight eyes and they are watching five times they have to see that all. As a manager I want to hear an explanation. I should be in a position to be able to have a word with them but he didn't want to give me that."

On his side's performance: "We were so good in the first half in every way - on the ball and off the ball. That half was 2-1 for us. We have to limit mistakes, they have players in positions with unbelievable quality and that is how they won the game.

"I saw a lot of positives."

When they hit the upright, I was thinking they could have been 2-0. Lucky escape there.

 

[Terrarian]

Like the look of that Diangana, Moyes has made a mistake there

 

[The Trinity.]

Wonder what the outcome would have been if they had have gone 2-0 up

Wonder what the score will be when this Everton team clickity clicks from the 1st minute to the 90th minute. We will hammer some team. Today was a thumping for WBA. But I'm talking about beating some team say 6-0.... It's all about wondering how things will pan out.........who knows.
So far so good..........But to answer your question........going down 2-0 last season , we would have most likely lost 2-1. This season.........who knows.
We have shown that there are goals in this team.
But let's hope that we don't go two goals down...........anytime soon.....
