Match Thread Everton 1-1 West Ham United 29th September 20:00

[Timbucktoo]

From the bits I have seen over the Hammers, they start off ok, but once they concede seem to fall to bits, hope we get straight at them from the start, a club in a bit of crisis that we really should be putting under pressure

The difference between them and us is that we don`t fall to bits if we concede first, we stay composed but show no sign of getting any closer to scoring.

Just get some corners and a win is assured!

Watch Potter transform into a tactical genius on Monday night.

"We're playin 443, Ray Winstone and Danny Dyer up top. It's the future!"

Need to get back on track here and I think we probably will. The only thing in the back of my mind, like an RFK jr parasitic worm, is that Everton are the club that gives you a win when you look like you'll never get one again. Just ask Wolves.

Just don't bleedin lose. All I ask for the opening months at home. Would really love to see an extended and decent run at the new stadium

You must not of seen our corners this year. Despite getting loads we don’t come close

Vital we start off on the front foot and try and get an early goal. Anything other than a win and its basically being a bang average/poor start to the season.

We need to keep ourselves as close to the 6th/8th spots for as long as possible

Moyes el classico

There was a time when West Ham being a PL team meant 6 points for us. No matter how bad we were we always beat them. I was always sorry to see them relegated because we were guaranteed the points. This ended under Martinez. We were leading with a few minutes to go at home and shipped a couple of howlers. The spell was broken then and they are now just another team we struggle to beat. I'm over for this game and hope we take a couple of lessons from the last three games. Go for the jugular from the off.

I know it's only a small sample size - v Sunderland and Forest - but West Ham actually have the lowest non-penalty xGA in the league away from home with 1.44. It's their home games where they've really been opened up with 7.80 xGA - the worst in the league by a large margin.

As I've said, small sample size, but it'll be interesting to see if this trend continues.

a lot, wondering if they'll put some cooms out about it

it's been so long since a league game actuall had many available, and with the new ballot system i wonder if many people just haven't bothered to check

I think they should put it to general sale but i imagine they'll want to keep it that you essentially need a membership to get a ticket

Playing away from hone will suit West Ham. We very often struggle with Bowen so that would be my main concern. We have to start the game well and not give a struggling team encouragement.
