Match Thread Everton vs West Ham United - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[RomanReigns]

I went with Patterson, solid at the back , we'd never win those games in the last couple of seasons.

Gordon may disagree

 

[Curtis]

People claiming it was a poor game is an odd and questionable take. there was some sloppiness in the end but other than a shot off the post and the last minute intervention from patterson west ham was completely stifled in their attacks

Best thing is we have a little shithousery about us, haven't seen that in years. Love the time-wasting and getting round the ref.

 

[blue1948]

I’m not certain, but I’d hazard a guess it was pre-Michael Keane.

That is for sure .

 

[Saint Domingo]

Up to 12th on GD.

We’ll stay ahead of a lot of teams because we’re not letting many in. So many teams below us will have huge goal differences as the games go on because they’ll get punted several times. This team doesn’t look like it will.

 

[RomanReigns]

Yes that was Gray's best game under Lampard imo unless I've missed an obvious performance from last season. He was on it throughout whereas Gordon was on the perhipery.

Gana was good....however it shows the margins sometimes as he lost the ball when they hit the post. That goes in and you'd have endless posts of "too old" etc. Just needs to get up to pace again after four years in France but he showed all of his experience.

Problem is last 20 mins everyone was knackered and weren’t showing for the ball so gana had no one to pass to and it causes moments like that when you get dispossessed

Feels like an Everton team this lot. Been a while.

Difference between having a striker and not that

I think we’ve been the better team in a few games this season and not been able to make it count

Today we did because we had Maupay

That’s why he gets the MOTM vote from me

 

[Toffeelover]

Now get a striker in come January.

 

[kleew]

great win. Gana is much more efficient than I remember. Patterson was very good. Happy with where we are heading at the moment.

Agreed. Gana has been another notch above to what he has been, decisive in all his passes either to the back or forward, and calm in possession

 

[Zezti]

Gana MOTM for me. Iwobi, Tarkowski and Gray all did very well too but Gana was constantly winning possession for us as he tends to do. Brilliant.

Maupey's finish was excellent, glad to see him get his first. Patterson and Onana were mixed bags though, not their best games so far. Overall though can't complain!

UTFT

GET INNNNN! Not pretty but we'll take that. Gritty performance. Well deserved lads. Let's push on from here. I love Gana by the way. Bringing back memories of better days. UTFT

 

[jazzy]

Personally went for Patterson as MOM but easily have been either centre half , Gana , Gray ,Onana or Iwobi.

 

[LostLegend]

Forget the result, it’s absolutely burnt my head out that your supposed to pronounce Paqueta as “Packer-Tar” according to the commentators ?

 

[cooperman]

Two clean sheets in a row and six unbeaten if I'm not mistaken.

This is real progress
