Match Thread Everton 1-1 West Ham . Sat March 15th. 3pm

[Blue Roo]

Beto just needed to touch the ball then go down, would've been plenty of contact then

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Solid first half. I like how much we’ve been pressing. Loved the cracker by big Jake. He might be our future Baines.

 

[Victus]

If that was Liverpool or united it would be given

no chance, its not a pen in any world.

 

[wellillwill]

It's like Man Utd all over again where we have to beat the ref....

Oh wait penno

No it's like Man Utd all over again (tbf was not a pen this time)

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Another very 'meh' half of football from Everton that.

Just the same old story - not enough quality & getting practically nothing from the officials to boot. Rinse & repeat every single week..

 

[Tony1985]

It’s a typical performance, lots of grit and determination, just no quality when we need it. I still think we nick this 1-0, Broja with the goal

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I like that we are getting crosses into the box for once. We just need to put them in front of the players so they can generate power. It will always be difficult running away from goal. I will take progress though.

 

[johnjoeefc]

I don’t want to win like that, the rs don’t care but we are better than that.

I agree. Might have felt differently about it if we weren't already safe though like

 

[daza_1973]

Is our lack of pens directly linked to the rs abundance of pens ? - maybe they have introduced regional quotas ??

 

[JohnRoss23]

Should be ahead, hope we don’t get sucker punched.

That’s my biggest fear right now if we don’t find the back of the net. They haven’t been too much of a threat but they are very capable offensively of putting one in at any time.

 

[BullensRoad]

I thought if a player sticks his leg out and stops a player they have the right to go down? That's what commentators and pundits say for the penalties those teams get.

 

[Blue Roo]

Shades of DCL from Beto there

 

[Toffeeforme]

Beto pulled his leg back and the defender got his leg in between beto and ball and touched him. It threw beto leg off slightly. Pen

 

[Hellerad]

On a positive note, O’Brien is a tidy player for such a big man.

 

[matty1878]

Need to do better

got to now for the second half

pickford is been busier in first half

we aren’t creating much

they have a all round better midfield
