Match Thread Everton 1-1 West Ham . Sat March 15th. 3pm

Deffo not a pen. Beto kicked the ground. Can’t believe the ref gave it from his vantage point.

Thought so. Did they look at the handball a couple of mins before it?

A bit crap. Neither really did enough to win it. Their goal was out of nothing.

Moyes decisions were poor. Harrison shouldn’t be starting RW. Alcaraz isn’t a LW.

Subs should have been on at 60 at latest.

Draw seems a fair result to me for two teams who really don't have much left to play for this season

Should it have been a pen? Looked like it would have been soft from where I was sat but not seen a replay. Clear and obvious enough to be over turned?

You'd be upset to have it go against you, but look at the pen City got today and this one had more actual contact.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Wasn't much of a sample size but liked the look of Chermiti x Broja up top. Beto has been dying for a rest. Doucs shouldn't start again in my eyes

To be fair many have been saying this for pretty much most of three seasons, but somehow he still gets a place

Can we please knock these 5 star winter break retreats on the head please? They seem to do far more bad than good.

Ainsdale sandbanks under the Catt & HK & billy Bingham ....

Don’t recall it being mentioned.

Beto kicked the ground, a-la Osman vs S'land all those years back.

Probably couldn't believe that a PREM player would kick the turf like that without being fouled

International football means you need to be good on the ball. brantwaith is a little bit like Jagielka not good enough on the ball. At least for the moment…

He is very good on the ball, still learning with regards to defending at such a young age. He looks like a fast learner

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Game was ours to lose tbh, if teams can weather the 1st half against us we end up fading in the 2nd.

Momentum going into the derby is important so it's not the worst result.

Amazing how Moyes teams always seem capable of popping up with a late goal to get a result. Was just like the old days!

Come watch Everton more, referee. It’s our speciality.

 

[Mr. Lasagne]

Doucore is too loose with the ball. He's been a great servant, but the club are right to let him go. Keep Alcaraz central and Doucs can be sub. Great seeing Chermiti out there. Can't wait to see he and Ndiaye link up. Good fight from the boys, just lack of quality and creativity for too much of the match.

 

[HappyJack]

The standard of refereeing is absolutely shocking

I dont know. The standard is poor but there is also a bending the knee to certain teams ….

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

He gave us a penalty for Beto kicking the floor until VAR overruled it.

To be fair, Beto was caught unawares by the ground deciding to go in hard on him.

Not sure I agree with that mate. Carries it out of defence well quite often. He’s got the lot and he’s left-footed. Leaving him out so Dan Burn can have his Rickie Lambert moment is a joke, but then the daft get picked Jordan Henderson so it’s not entirely unexpected.
