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

Immeasurably better

Great result, but what attitude the team show next weekend at Brighton will be the litmus test.

Got to stick with these tactics now,
richy provides the running from dcl with a bit more goal threat,
Theo provides the support to cover for sidibe getting forward,
Bernard and digne.....do I need to explain?
Iwobi and Davies always positive , looking to go forward, breath of fresh air compared to Morgan and Delph side to side
Gomes immense...
Gylffi as a sub to exploit the space left by chasing sides isn't a bad idea..
Wasn't perfect but it's a big step in the right direction...

Davies and Gomes might not work every game but you've hit the nail on the head for me there. Both are capable of breaking forward and did so regularly. Their first instinct was usually to go forwards and it really helped us up the ante.

Iwobi was great in the middle and Richarlison's movement was fantastic. Even Walcott had a good game. Just need to be more clinical but otherwise a top drawer response to our woeful form.

We have to build on it now though. If we cannot go back to the same dross in the next game or two.

fantastic save that one from Pickford

 

[dublinbluenose]

Davies brings great energy to that midfield, I know West Ham are rubbish but I thought he was very good.

 

[cromofo]

Frustrating game but positively frustrating. Great performance.

 

[Blue83]

Dominated the game, still looked ropey on corners but fortunately Pickford saved us, Mina's goal should have been allowed, Iwobi should have scored instead of poking it straight at the keeper, why can't we play like this every match, why does it take getting into a relegation battle to make everyone suddenly decide they can actually play football

 

[atrottel]

Walcott has got a lot of stick (including from me) but he was really good today, for me just edging a host of other candidates...

 

[Tel001]

State of Bernard's hair, he always comes off pi$$ wet through, graft's his nuts off every game, great play for the first from him too.

Looks knocked every time the final whistle blows .. just as they all should. Morgan comes off looking like he hasn’t played a minute most weeks

 

[jerseytoffee]

A great team performance hope Silva stays with this team next week, had forgotten that winning feeling.

Just need to score more goals.

 

[Mashtray]

Should have been about 4-0 but will take it OBVIOUSLY

 

[Wat Tyler]

Honestly, someone explain what VAR is for if it allows that Mina goal to be disallowed. Scandalous.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Hey we're above Man Utd! Hopefully, not for long.................

 

[TheVelourFog]

player of the match will be tricky. Gomes and Rich didnt stop all game, Mina strong at the back, Bernard the tricky wizard.

 

[Coggy]

Really good performance from everyone today. Absolutely made up. However it does nothing to disguise the fact that prior to today , Silva's tactics and team selection has been absolutely dreadful.
Nearly everyone on here was happy before the game with the team selection. That is simply a reflection on the fact that his previous attempts have been woeful.
