Match Thread Everton v West Bromwich Albion - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

The Jolly Blue Giants keep rolling on

Not at all. In Colombia they teach us when defending counter attacks like that. Either the player makes it through, or the ball, but not both.

Mina should have tried to stop him and foul him if necessary. Even Mourinho said that in the All or Nothing documentary

How does the player make it through without the ball? You mean he passes the ball?

It looked like Mina backed off so he didn't get beat and was hoping Allan or whoever was in front would come to take the man instead. But that just gave the Diangana the space to shoot.

I gave it to Lewin but James is a gem and really the key to our new offensive flair

Kopite friend already texting 'hahaha use were losing that and only won cos a sending off'
Atleast Calvert-Lewandoski don't need two shady pens to get a hat-trick.

I thought richarlison was fantastic today! The stats might not show it but he was unlucky not to score multiple himself

He's not on the scoresheet yet but he could easily have had 5/6 over the 2 games. I don't think he's the type of player to let it bother him though and I fully expect him to open his account in one of the next 2 games.

I think we're going to score a lot of goals this season and wouldn't it be brilliant if we were able to get 2 players with over 20 goals.

Bit gutted for Ritchie today, that disallowed goal was an absolute peach, deserved a goal for his performance today.

Still not ended this season's barren run, then. Wants dropping.

 

[arbok]

Guys... we upgraded from Steven Naismith to James Rodriguez.

 

[Alan Whittle]

one of those is nailed on to happen

sorry @Alan Whittle

Ooo. A challenge!

You stop or steal the ball .

It's just a saying that you either recover the ball or foul the player. But you don't allow the play to continue

 

[carolinablue232]

Have to give it to Dom for the hat trick. But my word James is class.

 

[Death]

If James was Turkish he’d be at 99% in that poll

 

[Jim Hopper]

He always smiles when asked about Rodríguez doesnt he? He loves him.

 

[Harryflashman]

"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.

richarlison could easily be on 4 or 5 goals now , he’ll destroy someone next couple of games

If he has to steal the ball, he has to be right up with the player.

That's why I thought he should have come up to meet the player.
