Match Thread Everton v West Ham United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Nymzee]

Yeah I don't like to hedge my bets I like going all in. 20 and I get 80 quid back and a new manager.

Gonna pin all the blame on you if we smash them now.

 

[brieverton]

Can't countenance nor accept anything but a win.

It won't cover over the cracks but I'd rather the 3 points over another weekend of utter despair otherwise.

If that keeps Silva in a job for however long then its fine with me.

Same plan for the game after.

 

[blue1948]

Currently off work with a bad motor scooter of a virus. Temp 39.2.

Naturally Everton will offer me no respite to the utter garbage fortnight I’ve had.

At least you are sweating on us winning.

 

[Lelouch]

want to lose so Silva goes
need points so we don't get too deep into the relegation places

it's a sticky one

 

[Groucho]

At least you are sweating on us winning.

If I carry on like this I’m geography.

I mean history.

 

[Mark Pembridge]

few shots on target would be a start. west ham will just sit in and hammer us on the break....

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Yarmolenko nailed on to score, isn't he?

Based on our last 5 showings, I can't see us getting anything from this.

The only way we are beating these is if things just miraculously 'click' on the day.

------------Pickford

Sidibe x Mina x Keane x Digne

---------Gomes x Delph

-----Richarlison x Iwobi x Bernard

-----------------Kean

I'd go

 

[BlueStevie35]

------------Pickford

Sidibe x Mina x Keane x Digne

---------Gomes x Delph

-----Richarlison x Iwobi x Bernard

-----------------Kean

I'd go

Delph is unlikely to play but that’s otherwise what everyone but Silva will want to play

Its called the 'Everton that' syndrome
I've gotten over it now after years of let down.
You've accepted you have a problem, you're on the road to recovery.

Now I just wallow in yesterdays glories, Howard Kendall days.
But never dream of a return of those days, never dream of a Mourinho walking into our club and us winning something.
We are plucky little Everton, we are not allowed to dream the dream of times gone by (song pun intended)

Thanks but Problem is !
I have had this problem since the early 60,s as soon as I could relate to footy and was told you are an Evertonian
Seen plenty of the good , bad and ugly also , "if only / what might have been "
Therefore TBH believe I am beyond help and don't think I could ever change , IMO the only way I keep sane supporting this lot is dreaming of better times around the corner ?!

was with you until the plucky bit...Definition: Plucky....having or showing determined courage in the face of difficulties
This is the complete opposite of our team

Point taken, you're right.
I should learn never to build up hope, it crushes you.

 

[neilsyd]

I’d start 4-4-2 and have richie and kean up front. Bernard and iwobi maybe on wings. Davies and Gomes in the middle.
Try something different...

 

[ToffeeTim]

My team would be something like this...

Pickford
Sidibe Keane Mina Digne
Gomes Davies Delph
Iwobi Richarlison Bernard

433. An interchangeable front 3. Would happily play Kean over Iwobi or Bernard too.

Looking forward to seeing Richarlison spend half the game on the floor complaining, and Sigurdsson play 30 balls sideways
