Match Thread Everton v West Ham United (Sunday 16th Sept 4.00)

I

Everyone knows we've been crap. It's just most rational people don't react by demanding a sacking after 5 games.


What did you expect? 2 points clear and 5 from 5 ff?

expected to win all the home games and 1-3 points from the away games. Hardly asking for the world, given the opposition.

there fans are [Poor language removed], the team is [Poor language removed], but they got a new ground

Arsenal to beat us 4-1

5-1.......

 

[Thuder]

New style of play? Nothing new going on. Today was prime Koeman, Martinez and Allardyce rolled into one.

Not advocating any sort of action by the way, I have patience but it would be nice to see what is being attempted because it's not clear whatsoever.

I don't want to use the rs as an example but when Klopp came in they were [Poor language removed] for months with no change in playstyle but look at them now

Looks like another mediocre season

 

[RomanReigns]

west ham used the same tactic as liverpool today, 4-3-3 with 3 central midfielders

i think we need to jib the 4231 formation

5-1.......

Where is the one coming from?!
We are good at conceding 5 to Arsenal though.

Stop trying to defend the Bournemouth debacle. We’ve been terrible all season.

When have I tried to defend it?

And no, we haven't. We played well against Wolves and were unfortunate not to get three points. We missed some golden chances and the ref decisions didn't go on our further.

We played well vs Southampton. We didn't play brilliantly at Bournemouth and should have held on. We didn't but those things happen. One of them and you move on.

Huddersfield and today weren't up to scratch and aren't acceptable.

If we are a top 6 side we would beat Huddersfield and West Ham comfortably at home and be able to hold onto a 2-0 lead. Another 5 games will give us a general idea where we gonna to end up in the table. 6 games from these 5 fixtures is very poor. I will give it 4 maybe even 3 out of 10 for this time being.

We are not a top six side

 

[T LEAFE]

We are not a top six side

We are bottom 6 side at best

Were you at the Southampton game? We were hanging on.

We’ve been poor in every single game. Wolves we looked alright, but the defensive frailties reared their head that game. That should’ve been the warning.

Is right.

We are at the start of a rebuilding job. The squad needs a full revamp.
Early days yet and Marco has a lot of work to do.

I just do not know where this internet wave of optimism came from?
Because Richy looks dynamite?

As today showed, without him we are exactly the same as a Sam or Ron team.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

The annoying thing is a defeat was expected because it's what we do .
I think we older fans would have been more suprised if we won.
It's to early to want heads to roll imo.
More negatives than positives from today's game tbh.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Only Arsenal away next. Write off.

The worrying thing is we might be going backwards and doing worse than fat Sam, results wise is very meh. By December we will find out.
