Homepage Update: Everton v West Ham... Match Report and MotM Poll...

Great that we have Lookman, or his mum/dad on here.

There were subliminal messages in that report Andy that forced me to vote ROONEY as MoM.

My work has not been in vain

Thought Gana was good playing alongside someone who wasn’t Schneiderlin.

100%, he looked much more comfortable doing his own thing with Rooney's intelligence and Davies's tenacity next to him didn't he.

I like Rooney in midfield in a 4-3-3
I like him no.10 in a 4-4-1-1

but not in the 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1

He still looks like he prefers being a midfield playmaker - and neither no10 or no9 seems to work for him.
It really is hard to imagine how Barkley, Klassen or Sigurdsson can play alongside him still. but i'd like to see it!

Yesterday i only watched the highlights, but Kenny, Davies, DCL all looked decent

Great night, good win really needed, Rooney MOM

Can't understand why Russ Abbott lad wasn't carded, on the pen incident.

Like the feller behind me said, Coleen was Man of the match. she takes Wayne back, lets him have a bit of the old squidgy and he is playing like a 20 year old! God bless her!

But other than Coleen, it was Wayne with special mentions to Jordan, (as other have said that save was a game changer) and Jonjoe, who i honestly thought looked every inch a premiership full back. However, i also think some of his credit should go to Aaron Lennon, who ran his nuts off to make sure Jonjoe was never stranded. i was made up at his performance too.

saw the match on tv. I pick up Pickford as his penalty save was the real turning point of the match as the defense was really under pressure in the beginning of second half....

Goodison was rocking again last night. Love the old Lady with lights on. The Park Lane played its part too and were really loud at times.

Long drive home for me but worth every minute. Buzzing all day today.

Yeah, it definitely seemed like he enjoyed being back to his role and not relied on to go forward as well.

He essentially took the Schneiderlin role of primary DM, and Rooney moved into Gueyes role of the one who pushes forward. When asked the question of who would you like surging from behind the play into attack, Rooney, or Gueye, thats an easy choice, and it fits both well.

The 4-0 is not by far a fair result. We were poor the whole game, West Ham had an 80-20 possesssion for the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half, we didn't create a single chance outside the goals (1 lucky pen, 1 corner, 1 shot from the half way line). The only positive is we didn't concede, against the worst side in the league. Don't get too positive, we'll lose again on Saturday.

What a strange post. A lot of "we"s in it from someone who obviously isn't a fan. Go back to your own team's forum if you haven't got anything sensible to say.

...chatting with my son last night, he thought Holgate’s performance had gone under the radar.

Folks, if you haven't already done, there is still time to cast your vote for the Man of the Match from Wednesday.

Every vote counts for the game, the month and ultimately towards the GOT Player of the Season !!!
