Match Thread West Ham v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[Frenk]

The team has looked FAR better under Lampard

Fatal errors by players is what is costing us.

I agree with this. But with how many others would this have been the case?

1-1 we should be shutting up shop. Instead we push up so high that we let a player have a 50 yard run at our goal.

It's the hope that kills you

Tbh now going into games I expect nothing, so if we do get anything it’s a bonus.

 

[Steve EFC]

If Holgate is injured, Keane is suspended? Who plays CB with Godfrey on Thursday? Is Branthwaite fit?

Branthwaite to play…. Result that!!

 

[Eggs]

One thing is for sure, our players getting a red card the last three games is not acceptable. We need eleven men on the field the next few games if we want to have a chance to fight off relegation.

….excellent point, it was dreadful from Keane today.

There is not one single positive to take from that game.

Sums it up perfectly...

I literally hate Everton.

The real Everton is the friends I met along the way, the football club is almost dead to me.

Patterson should have been on the bench, has to be better than Kenny going forward at least.

Injured

Of course is Michael Keane costing us the game again.

He's clumsy - but I think Holgate Iwobi and Doucoure were more culpable.
Holgate for the sloppy free kick, Iwobi for being a brain dead fool and Doucoure being all over the shop.

1-1 we should be shutting up shop. Instead we push up so high that we let a player have a 50 yard run at our goal.

Atleast should have let the game settle for 10 mins

 

[Houghty19]

Big picture we looked pretty decent today. A worldie free kick against the run of play and a bad giveaway in midfield plus a terrible challenge for a second yellow. Much breeze performance overall, if we play like this for the rest of the season we will be fine

The problem is I’m not sure if our guys are up for it

At last a sensible non knee jerk reaction to todays performance.

 

[Curtis]

Patterson should have been on the bench, has to be better than Kenny going forward at least.

Wasn't he injured?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Absolutely. The my have no leaders. Tim Howard just said it on the postgame here in the US and I agree. How are players laughing on the field after yet another loss. It’s sickening to watch that as a fan.

It’s the culture in the squad. It’s a clown show.

They all need punting in the summer. All of them. It’s clear they’re not bothered about playing for Everton. Get in some players who are.

Howard for example wouldn’t have been laughing after this series of results. It actually meant something to players like him.

 

[Ayesha]

Anything but a loss will do.

Nice one Everton

 

[ToffeeDan]

West Ham doubled us this season for the first time since 1973, next up is Burnley, where we haven't kept a clean sheet in 24 visits going back to 1958.

One clean sheet - you might have meant won to zero though..

If we bought a gun to a knife fight…..
