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

[JohnRoss23]

Mykolenko, O’Brien, Ndiaye, Beto, and even Grealish all need to be better than what they showed today. At home under the lights against a very poor side and Michael Keane, of all people, and Jimmy Garner were the only two to show up.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Having Branthwaite back will make a big difference. We are very brittle at the back at the moment.

 

[Rob17896]

Exactly. Let him work his magic.

I hope so. Our two centre forwards are useless at this point though Barry may improve. Right back is terrible and Grealish is not direct enough, mega talent though he is. Ndiaye at CF for me. Dibling on right. Keane and Tarks can come up for headers at set pieces because Beto aint winning any anyway. Ndiaye in the middle gives us hope on the ground. I am afraid Jake as a right back and either CF ia like having 8 outfield players. That will win nothing.
I know we could not achieve all signings but please get rid of the CF's until Barry has had about 100 under 21 games. It is very frustrating because broadly we are OK with two really awful weaknesses.

Would drop Tark for him. Keane been much better.

 

[Parker]

We've got to stop with this conspiracy nonsense. The refs aren't against us specifically, they're just incompetent. There's so many bad decisions every weekend.

Got to buy into the script my man.

This stuff is about as competitive as professional wrestling. If the Premier League can influence outcomes, they will.

Just got to look at the Fulham and Newcastle games for obvious handballs to see that.

Keane again proving his worth. You have to admire his resilience.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Four games in and all the magic has already vanished from this place. The donkeys on the picth and the dithering sod in the dugout have already made sure its just a bigger and more expensive version of Goodison.

 

[Roader]

Was Doucouré any worse than what we have now? At least he had a few goals in him.

 

[RomanReigns]

All we do is play it out wide and then lay it off to a player outside the box to just whack it at goal and hope it goes in

It’s so predictable

Dewsbury Hall a million times better. Reckon we are only a half decent striker away from a good attack.

 

[Street end man]

Not bad considering we are just two fullbacks and a couple of strikers, plus a holding/defensive midfielder short of being a top 15 side

 

[No Alla Violenza]

I would like all of our attacking players to be a bit more fluid/interchangeable. They’re so rigid and our build up play is so slow and predictable

We changed nothing tonight until it was too late (Dibling)

 

[Old Blue 2]

My take on the second half was that we 'lost' the midfield. We needed someone who could do the role that Gareth Barry used to do for us: in front of the back four, controllinig and directing the other midfielders into position when the opposition had the ball. We looked OK going forward, but unbalanced when we lost possession...

I couldn't have put it better myself mate
