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

[james_v02]

Iwobi is my MOTM. Almost picked Tarks for some really class defending but Iwobi is everywhere today for 90 minutes. Got an assist as well! Gray was a close choice too - was everywhere in the 1st half and was more dangerous in the 2nd half.

As a team we were the better team for 60 minutes. West Ham amped up the pressure after we scored and we managed the pressure well - we had some shaky moments and maybe we rode a bit of luck today (but hey, that's football).

Almost every player improved their passing and ball control.

My vote goes for Gana. He was immense today. It was completely different midfield that not only wasn' t overrun but dominated possession for big parts of the game.
Great game for Iwobi, Gray, Tarkowski, Coady and Patterson too.

Worried

voted for Gueye because I thought he was MOTM

You don't get a better reason for voting someone MOTM than that.

I thought Tarkowski was MOTM, but I can see how good it was to have gueye back, he played well and done what he does best

We are getting there slowly, but surely - we are far from the finished article onwards & upwards ......

….the fact nobody is mentioning Begovic is a reflection of how well he did on the occasions he was called upon.

He was 2nd to my choice of Iwobi. Very commanding. Seemed huge in that goal!

How did we not get a penalty though for the challenge on Gray. Looked blatant and didnt seem to even get checked

Var only checks if you are a top 6 side

The luck broke our way today (at last, at last) and now we can spend the break enjoying the view from lucky 13th.

This season's team is showing 800% more intent than last season's.

Good thing is there are good performances all over the park.

On replay it just looked like a very good tackle.
