Everton v West Ham. 22nd Nov at 15.00.

Hard fought win. Glad of 3 points. West Ham dominated 2nd Half but we dug in. Considering we are missing so many players I am happy with an ugly win. They tried to exploit our left side and very nearly did but West Ham will never change that much under alladyce and resorted to pumping the ball in our box. Some good build up play by them but they couldn't work it on the ground near our box.

2 points off 4th. the injuries won't continue being this bad and i keep telling myself we will go on a run eventually. this league is so wide open that teams will continually take points off ourselves and our rivals.

I forgot how good 3 points feels. Bit ropey defensively but a great result, and it's nice that Lukaku slotted one. @Walken has a long night ahead of him trying to cut through the tide of pro-Osman sentiment coming his way.

2 points off 4th and we've been utterly terrible nearly all season.

Beat me to it can't believe it we've obly won 4 and think of the dropped points makes it more frustrating.
But smiling today.

All the usual GOT boo boy targets did well today in a tough game, who's getting the treatment this week?

Seen us play so much better and lose or draw so it's nice to get the 3 points when we were fairly ordinary. Great to have Eto'o to call on to make the difference. Well played Osman and a nice goal.

can't wait to see a full strength Everton team this season! massive win imo

 

[banno]

Also a mention for Osman, I am his biggest critic but hats off to him for having his 1 in 10 good game.

 

[maccavennie]

Great result, 3 points = boss weekend. Hope Naismith is o.k and it ain't too serious.

 

[paulbefc]

to be fair it's not that tough of a decision when you have Samuel flippin' Eto'o sat on your bench.

Shh. It was tactical genius and I won't hear anything different thank you very much.

 

[orly]

Eto'o the absolute God

Really happy with that win, keeps us heading in the right direction.

30 points by the halfway stage please lids

 

[DownunderToffee]

Osman and Hibbo played great tonight.

Eto'o came on and gave us something up forward.

Take the points and run!

 

[flibbyflob]

Well we won, wasn't a great game and Mirallas will improve for the run out. Not a lot else to say other than Osman was MOM and haters are gonna hate that.

 

[Walken]

it happens once a year every season, he played well today, like xmas day, i just have to get it out the way, the boxings on, we got 3 pounts, and the lukaku haters can pipe down for a while, I'm more concerned with that catalan clown at the minute

You have to laugh at us being two points off fourth considering how plop we've been this year in the league.

The points feel all the sweeter as West Ham's players and manager behaved like utter shithouses on the pitch.

Sniff you dogs, big LOLs from L4.
