Match Thread West Ham 0-0 Everton - Saturday 9 November - 15:00

[HalfTimeSayers]

Dyche: We certainly looked a force going forward at Southampton​

10000% on the wind up in his final weeks.

Current injuries are Coleman Garner Iroegbunam McNeil Chermiti Broja

There’s some decent options in there if all fully fit. Considering Branthwaite and Patterson have only just come back as well it’s a bit ridiculous. We need to get a grip on injuries as it was a big reason we did better last season being able to play settled lineups.

Only McNeil out of that list would get into the manager’s preferred starting XI.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

I don’t know about anyone else but have a feeling this game will live long in the memory. The announced line up has only confirmed it further.

 

[Macker07]

Branthwaite in? To start. Good news.

I mean we quite easily could have had 3-4 against them, however Keanes was saved and Beto can't put it in from 4 yards out.

 

[Bebeto]

Our bench is absolutely shocking...this is where the problem is. Every year it gets worst and worst. We need new players in ASAP.

 

[Chegsy]

Won't be pretty but fingers crossed we can nick something. They haven't been in great form but that means nothing with us.

Don’t talk facts. Doesn’t sit well with the Dychettes

Garner also.

Plus it’s a squad game and logically it’s better to have stronger options on your bench than to have them unavailable. Surely even you can’t dispute that.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

someone had him over the coals for his Branthwaite comments?

I’d have moved Ndiaye or Lindstrom behind DCL and put Harrison on one of the wings.

But the manager doesn’t make subs so why is it better?

Garner wouldn’t be playing if everyone was fit

 

[GrandOldTeam]

If Lindstrom fails to do anything here I'm going to write him off and refuse to budge an inch in future on him.

Do something, you.

Resting Keane?

Or keeping him fresh when we throw him on upfront for the last 15 minutes?

 

[knowing your history]

There's a difference in coming on at 75 minutes against tired and a more open defense than starting a game and being the focal point of the entire system. It's that simple.

Maybe but in 15 minutes last week he had a header he should've scored, could've easily drawn a red from the opposition with a different red with a smart run and fractional offside after a lovely take and finish.

Can't understand why he's not starting today unless Dyche is just crossing his fingers given DCL scored the winner down there last season. He is very lucky to be playing today.

Why is it better to have better players fit in your squad to give the manager more options?

You really have gone off the deep end.
