Match Thread West Ham United v Everton - Match Report and MotM Poll

Brilliant win. The starting line up today (if staying fit) should be more than capable of getting us to mid table.

Great performance. Should have been far more comfortable.
There were a lot of periods of excellent passing involving most players. Especially the one touch pass and move.
Voted for big Jarrad, but there were a lot of very good performances. Onana looked excellent.

Another absolutely useless ref today. I think the rugby refs have just illustrated how terrible the refs are

100% they let it flow constantly talking. Problems come 1. The refs have no respect 2. Refs are to scared to do the right thing due to media

Rugby refs are in control and seem confident in their decisions and just explain them to the players and crowd. In football they look clueless and make decisions based on crowd reaction and fear

That's why Dom as our entire focal point really doesn't make sense. He doesn't score many goals with his feet.

Good shout.

Today was a great win, Thought missed chances as always may end up costing us. But i have to say that Areola save from Doucoure was one of the saves of the season for me

 

[Bluerover]

Deffo. It's like the Dorking Wanderers manager. Come rain or shine he's got a baseball cap plonked on his head.

Klippety fashion

Great fans who deserve some cheer.

I think they stole a good 100m from 2-3 throw ins. I know referees usually, for some reason, turn a blind eye, but I've rarely seen a team take a throw in 20m away from where the ball went out of play.

It's these small things that really wind me up as it really gives the referee an easy opportunity to influence the result. The Pickford booking was utterly insane, Branthwaite had two fouls given for great challenges, as well.

That said West Ham got four bookings today and I really think this referee is more terrible than corrupt, although it wouldn't surprise me.

There was one particular one in the first half that erked me. it went out 10 yards before half way and West Ham took a quick throw 10 yards inside our half. No excuse for the ref not to spot that.

Great win today.

Wasn't very impressed with some of West Ham's so called ballers who some on here were creaming their kecks over in the summer.

Alvarez was poor, JWP anonymous, Paqueta absolutely shabite and Kudus, apart from one moment where he got in behind Myko, was average at best.

 

[Mrbluenose]

Never has that baseball cap off, is he follicle challenged?

Sat a seat away from Bill's wreath, take the bloody thing off you cretin.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Which suits us completely. Longer we stay in the game the more they will feel under pressure and we might nick a goal on the counter or from a corner. I've watched loads of Everton away games in the last few years. Very unlikely we come to places like West Ham and dominate.

There was a lot of bedding wetting at half time. All went to plan in the end.

 

[evertony]

Never in doubt.

Great timing on my part to be away working next week and missing two home games ffs....missed two home games in just under 40 seasons and now missing two in 5 days. Piss poor planning on my behalf.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Disappointed it was not a boring 2 nil. But Il take boring 1 nil.
Braithwaite easy man of the match.
Calvert Lewin and Mykolenko outstanding.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Never in doubt.

Burnley in the league cup might be on the box.
