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

Not sure if I did this right but we could fall to 16th after the weekend. Yes it’s early. I get it. It just sucks watching The Truman Show every season. It’s the hope that kills you.

 

[ToffeeScot]

Do we?

I've little time for Moyes, but the idea we have a lot of really good players seems fanciful to me.

I think we do. Grealish, Gana, Garner, KDH, Ndiaye, Pickford and Branthwaite are all good players.

The problem is that we have no good fullbacks/striker which absolutely kills a lot of good that they're able to potentially do.

Lose on Sunday and he’s gone

Haha no chance, he’s here all season and his negative ways

 

[Seathestars]

A few lurkers coming out tonight I see, 'koff weirdos

 

[Verbal Kint]

Beto and Barry (I'll give him the benefit of doubt)

Won't just get the job done.

Tarkowski has been truly awful again tonight, dithering with everything. Moyes not reactive enough either with his subs. The right side was killing us all night. For Sunday Dibling must start and N'Diaye or Grealish central. The forward position and right back is a major major problem. But we knew that a long time ago. JOB did the job admirable last year. But he's a centre back, if Seamus has anything left in his legs then he has to come in for him now for a spell.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Really, desperately poor that.

Moyes is costing us big time at the moment. He has been annoying me like he used to when he was last with us this last week.

Like for like subs. One around the 70th minute. Another in the 80s.

Not creating anything but Alcaraz doesn't even get on. Struggling desperately at RB and doesn't bring on either Coleman or Patterson. Not that they are great options, but O'Brien has been struggling for a while and stank the gaff out tonight.

Really, really annoyed. Moyes needs to learn to take the initiative in games, but even though he has changed some things from his first spell, I suspect this is something he will never change.

 

[captainvindaloo]

Palace will be a tougher test than this lot. Need to sort this out asap!

 

[salmon fingers]

Beto and Barry are both rubbish.

60M of shyte...

I couldnt agree more, we have wasted some money on strikers

 

[BigBeto1]

Appreciate the link up between KDH and Jack. But he’s that far to the left Ndiaye isolated when he gets it. Doesn’t help Ndiaye is that bored of everything going down the left, he wants to take 10 people on when he gets it

 

[MACCA75]

Anyone who thinks we’re anything more than a lower midtable side doesn’t have a realistic view of where we are.

In recent years, we’ve been generationally bad, narrowly avoiding relegation.

Luckily, the Premier League is woeful outside a handful of sides, and one or two patches of good form could secure a top 10 finish, even if we generally suck for the majority of the season.

The Prem isn’t woeful. I am concerned that there aren’t 3 awful sides this season, like we had the last couple of years.

 

[TGW89]

What will it take to get rid of this utter utter rot at the club? This cancer that chews upon our sinew but never quite delivers the killer blow?

Not a new manager, not a new stadium... OK new strikers, a Right Back? We get them and nothing changes. We can't beat muck, we'll never win a derby again while the PGMOL run this racket and forget trophies.

What does it take? I'm out of ideas.

 

[carolinablue232]

Dibling.

You said Alcaraz on for Ndiaye…Dibling was on the bench when you did. Then I said Dibling and you said he hadn’t dont enough to warrant playing. Are you high?

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Do we?

I've little time for Moyes, but the idea we have a lot of really good players seems fanciful to me.

Pickford, branthwaite, N’Diaye, KDH, Garner, Gana, Grealish are all good footballers.

Played the first half with ten men and offered nothing in the second after 10 minutes.

 

[SuperKev91]

Our lack of pace out wide was laid bare tonight. That and lack of recovery pace in defence as well.

Severely need a couple in soon (whether that’s Jan or next summer) with some actual pace.

Their left back showed the difference a full back with that kind of pace can make (despite him being crap defending…).

 

[billybadger]

All Summer we have been saying we desperately need a right back and a decent striker and it’s costing us more and more each time we play
