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

[MarkHollis]

Just got in. What formation are we playing?

4-3-3 of some sort

 

[Bluedyhell]

What game are YOU watching?

What do you expect him to do without anyone crossing the ball???

Go and get it. Funny how all the chances go to Richarlison - who works so hard to earn them.

 

[evilwebby]

We are going down.
Better get used to it.

If Moyes is still Moyes then his team will creep back a yard a minute as the second half goes on. Everton need to show impetus and make things happen in the final third. There’s a point here if they really want it.

Rewind ten years, if we were playing an under-performing West Ham at Goodison and Baines had pulled a bit of free-kick magic out of his hat in a first-half where the opposition had shown promise, I’d have the worry that we’d sit on the 1-0 and invite pressure. It was so often the Moyes way.

Here’s hoping he hasn’t learned that lesson yet.

Absolutely nothing about us. The one time we do get in we have nobody who can finish with a cool head.

Gray put a great ball into the near post area and he didn’t bother making the run into the six yard box.

You mean the terrible cross that went straight to their keeper?

What planet are you on ???

 

[bluelife]

We need a holding type midfielder Holgate is doing an ok job

Gave away a needless foul on the edge of the box. Him and Kenny should be nowhere near this level of football... been clear for years. Unfortunately we buy more tripe to try to replace

 

[Bluerobins]

He won't be here at the start of next season whatever league we're in.

Why do you think this? Just interested

 

[gianthogweed]

Everton just seemed to get punished for every mistake

 

[Ufotone]

Richarlison could have had 2

Keep creating chances

COYB

 

[Bristol Blue]

West Ham hardly out of 1st gear

 

[wainy]

Any idea on how we can change things? I would probably stay the same to be honest as we’ve done Ok.

See if West Ham will let us play with 15 players

 

[Bluerover]

I'm off to play Tony hawks, footy can gtf sick of it.

I'm watching the GAA football Division 2 final. Far more skill and effort from amateurs.

As Yeats wrote Everton has finally sucked the marrow from my bones.

What planet are you on ???

Yeah that one, you know forwards are supposed to try and get on the end of crosses don’t you? Rather than just stand still and expect it to be put on a plate?

He is not good enough unfortunately. Will never have that predatory striker’s instinct.

Its Madness that Kenny made it through the system to be a professional footballer
