I agree the Cb's were to blame,looked better with stones on.I thought Besic did ok to be fair, as did Barry. The Barkley shouts are a bit harsh too.
Lukaku was absolutely superb.

That may have been down to West Ham sitting on the edge of their box ffs did you watch it??
He did ok flapped a few times,but played ok.Special mention to Robles. Kept us in the game. Came for crosses.
Mind you, this was a team without Sakho, Song and Koyoute. They bossed the midfield while we never won the midfield battle. You need those 1 min spells in the midfield where you CMs link with your wingers or AMs to create space to release a pass to the full backs or forwards. The only time our midfield starts acting is when we're on a counter otherwise they never control the play.
our system at the minute has us 2 in midfield against our opposition's 4/5. Barkley moving central, mirallas moved central neismith central and all not tracking back. suicide football. I don't mind us playing 1 in the hole but not 3. Get Oviedo in front of baines get naisey or McGeady in front of seamus and push the back 4 up.
This is not stopping the rot.
Drawing with West Ham is not a good result for Everton.
I'm happy we've not been beat but this is still nowhere near acceptable, never mind anything else.
*has thrombo....
People moaning about the ref.
Some undoubted bad decisions but he played a great advantage which let us score.
We would have messed the free kick up and we all know it.
i'm not sure 1 good decision all game warrants applause.
he was giving west ham free kicks all day long for their players going down easily, two of them cost us a goal + a possible goal. yet when our players were getting manhandled he didn't get anything.
lukaku's yellow was an utter joke, got it for accumulation when 3 or 4 of the free kicks against him were the wrong decision. that was another crap performance in a game where he had very little big decisions to make. all referees should play advantage, it shouldn't be viewed as a compliment.
stick the whistle in your back pocket and that already gives them an extra second to view the advantage instead of wrapping it around their wrist.
Without doubt it was an improvement. Defence is still a shambles and needs major surgery.To be fair, 'stopping the rot' means 'not worse.' I think we can all agree that this match was not worse.
Oviedo had been getting into a crossing position all evening, then failing to get the cross in.n
Nothing to do with Oviedo rampaging down the left and whipping crosses in then?
My worry is Martinez thinks we don't need new players
It was better! I'll take that for nowThat's not saying much...
