I'd take McCarthy off and put Besic on. McCarthy will lose it again and get a second yellow.

Barkley: shift him centrally and get Naismith either wide or off the pitch replaced by Eto'o.

We need to do something defensively down our left. Hibbert cant cope.

 

[Scotty1983]

Need to go out and get that 2nd goal instead of sitting back. Barkley needs to step it up 2nd half.

 

[TrixyStevens]

What's odds for that soft [Poor language removed] Nolan sent off 2nd half?

 

[toffeejack]

what an odd game - kind of enjoyed it, but it's been league 1 standard quality. osman's been our best player probably. ref has done okay to keep a lid on things, mccrathy's yellow was a poor decision though. he obviosuly didn't give it for the challenge, i have no idea why refs book both players whenever there's a scrap - it was all collins' doing at the end of the day.

our passing from the back is some of the worst i've ever seen.

people say WHU are a nice team to watch this season ... really? they're as grockier as they always are, lump it up to the big two lads up front.

hibbert's been very suspectable at LB, please get garbutt on, hibbert shows no attacking intent and it's inviting their right back to drift well into our final 3rd at will. luckily his crossing has been poor so far.

Don't think McCarthy's tackle was anywhere near as bad as the co-commentator was saying.

OK half but can Jags & Dustin please stop passing it to them.

Also, Osman has been fantastic.

That champagne football West Ham were playing lasted about a month, I see.

The bubbles have apparently burst.......

 

[Professor Toffee]

Cant believe we were trying to get Noble to declare for Ireland - knob, total knob

Keane must be doing the negotiations!

 

[sageyefc]

Thoughts so far,

Our back 4 has played some shocking passes out leaving the receivers short,

Barkley apart from the little spell which resulted in the goal has been crap, really poor,

Hibbo is struggling with the pace, could do with a bit more cover though to help him,

Naismith has been fantastic,

And dare i say Ossie has been great too,

Kevs in and out of play but when hes involved hes been a bright spot,


And west ham, what a bunch of dirty grooks, horrible bastards

 

[Michaelcoyb]

Sick of long ball tactics. Although we have dealt with it well. Our back 4 just need to learn how to pass.

 

[streeky]

the midfield is crying out for someone like besic this game, don't get me wrong osman has played well but we need someone who will rough them up a bit more now that mccarthy has been booked and osman doesn't have the strength to rough up west hams youth players let alone the likes of carroll.

I can't decide who i want off the pitch more between barkley and naismith, naismith has been invisible but even then he is doing just about as much as barkley who is just giving the ball away nearly every time he gets it.

take off Osman our best player ???

 

[DanEFC92]

West Ham fans with the 'feed the scousers' chants. Wacky banter.

 

[deipnosophist]

Everton's half time report : Must do better

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Hes a disgrace really.

His normal face is enough to make me hate him, but when its all animated with drool coming out it just makes me want his legs to drop off.

50/50 tackle - west ham being big girls blouses here and Ed Sheeran fan as usual listening to opposition players.

20 years ago it would have been an excellent tackle. Today it's borderline red and McCarthy knew it.
