Match Thread Everton v West Ham Utd; Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[Steve EFC]

Defensively I don’t think we were that bad. Attack is the best form of defence and we offered no threat up front not helped by the inability of Rondon to hold the ball up invited further pressure.

@Billy Liar have you got an explanation for you know what?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Pickford trying to claim Antonio fouled him for the decisive corner lol

Compare the atmosphere at Newcastle now to our morgue. Very sad to think our fans used to be passionate like them and the RS.

@Billy Liar have you got an explanation for you know what?

Yes just for comedy value.

Rondon is terrible, ruins everything going forward, Rafffa needs to play Dobbins

Rafael insisted we spent all summer chasing him

I agree, but then when I look at the bench I am left wondering what you could do to make it any better to be honest. I mean yeah you could swap out Rondon and Iwobi, but I’m not sure that those options on the bench would have changed the way the game went. Our squad is so poor.

Yes I agree but surely they can't do any worse so why not try and see.

 

[MKEvertonian]

Okay

Its not a surprise when they have who they have taken over, it will soon be back to the usual way for them, The Toon going better is a while away, they will have 21 games gone before even the Jan window opens

 

[ToffeeTim]

Doesn't excuse our defending but how on earth did the ref give that corner btw.

In spite of the final result, I felt like we played well. If we had DCL on the field the score would have been different.

So many false dawns. Mainly slow turgid football, players like Iwobi, Davies, Delph etc still at the club, Kenwright still involved.

The fact we still sell out our home games is a miracle as this club does nothing to deserve its fans

I have seen him at Newcastle, he was quiet good actually. Wonder what has happened to him.

What happened is that he is 32 and hasn’t played top class football for 2 years, he is still over weight and can no longer run or jump. It’s actually embarrassing watching him trying to run around in his yellow deep sea diver’s boots.

Precisely, the team is piss poor, and so is the bench. Could well finish outside of top 10. Need better partner for douc, centre backs baring mina are not confident enough, no proper rb, digne lacks confidence as well. I feel the team needs, another striker, 2 mfs, a rb, a lb, cb and better academy development to fill in for any injury on wingers, strikers etc. I think it will take another 2-3 years for a proper team. The only players deserved to stay in the team are townsend, mina, douc, Pickford, probably gray. Gray is good in flashes, need more involvement from him I feel at times.

Only so far organisation and discipline can take you against a better team. Massive gap in quality between our attack with Iwobi and Rondon in the team.
