Created what exactly?

A chance? Had a good ball through to DC-L who just missed out. Slipped Davies into the good position for the cut back, shame about Gana's terrible touch. Also had our only decent effort on goal that was narrowly kept out of the goal by Rice.

A lot of this was all while playing RWB.

Don't get me wrong, we need better than Iwobi but the scary thing is that he is probably out best player.
 
About an hour and a half from home now.... that was a truly miserable experience. Last time we lost there I thought we were unlucky to lose and put in a decent performance, but it's hard to take any positives from today. As poor as they are, this was the proverbial routine victory for West Ham, and I don't see how we get anything by carrying on with these players, tactics and coaching staff. Some of our play was ok, but as usual we did nothing in the final third and gave Fabianski an easy afternoon. Credit, as always, to fellow travelling Blues for turning out for yet another awful display.

I don't think so.

He was much improved in the second half and maybe that was because the shackles were taken off him but he was dire in the first half, only IGG was worse.

That was my view of the turgid omnishambles on display today. Lots of the West Ham fans around me could not believe how bad we were.
”This isn’t Everton”
”We’d always expect a tough game against this lot, but they’re dreadful”
”If we believe more we will hit these for 5 or 6”.

Hard to argue with any of that really. Lampard is not an elite level coach, it doesn’t matter if he has a striker, some strikers or more attacking players because he has no idea how to set up a team to be hard to beat and create chances. Everything is ponderous and set up to get the ball wide and then instead of isolating full backs and getting crosses in we just dribble into a congested middle of the pitch and lose possession, all at a snails pace.
Declan Rice might as well have had slippers on today as he strolled about dictating the whole game, Mina was arguably the only player moving slower than him.
I’m sure Calvert Lewin will be getting dogs abuse on here but I honestly don’t know what he or anyone else could do in this team as the striker, he’s woefully isolated, today against 3 centre backs.

2 absolutely awful teams on show today and Everton were easily second best.

All those travelling fans are hero’s, each and every one of them. Love Evertonians, hate Everton
