Match Thread Everton v West Bromwich Albion - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Toffee in Jandals]

DCL with the goals, but Hamez easily MOTM.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

An exchange between me and my 13 year old, United-supporting son pretty much sums it up:

Me: Everton is top of the league and DCL is the leading scorer!
Him: Everton is [CENSORED].
Me: Not anymore...

shame on you raising him wrong

.....strange game, looked vulnerable defensively and a threat at the other end. Goals came at the right time for us.

DCL obvious contender for MoM, Rodriguez is a joy to watch but I’m going for Coleman as a less obvious choice.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Mina crap, Pickford can't be relied upon, Gomes poor, Richarlison not sharp enough yet.

That aside, that was a good victory which should have been a few goals more.

Let's not forget we have had no time to gel yet, so every victory is welcomed no matter how it is achieved.

James outstanding alongside Allan, while Keane is oozing confidence and DCL can't stop scoring. Seamus again looked decent and Digne is happily seeing a lot of the ball.

Bring in a new centre back and a striker and I think we'll have a great squad. I don't think we'll get a new keeper but would love us to sign one.

Good start to the season.

Well, I don’t want to get carried away or anything, but we’re defo going to win the league... lol

Cannot believe I didn’t give MoTM to someone who scored a hat trick

Same. But James was just magic

We started poor . Conceded early. Regrouped and led. Then conceded again .. other seasons we would have struggled to win that. But today we coasted. James pulled the strings to unlock them but others played their parts. We will have setbacks. But If you are not optimistic that things are improving for the better then not sure why you bother.

 

[Bob Latchford]

don't bother mate, he played loads of great balls there but people have already made their mind up.

Thought he was good midweek and was good when he came on today. Hope we keep him, would start him ahead of Gomes. Hope he raises his game a bit to that of the better players around him. It’s never too late.

Professional performance in the end,
Nice to see the belief in the side, b.c we'd lose that or struggle to a draw...
Big jerry needs to be more commanding as the lad shouldn't be getting that much space,
No complaints with the free kick....
Top of the league

Sometimes, creating is more valuable than finishing. Agreed that it's weird.

Blossom prognosticates an early setback when Coleman blasts a clearance off Mina’s backside past Pickford for an ugly OG, before the floodgates open. JamesView attachment 101585 opens his account, a corner header from Keane, and a Richarlison brace for a 4-1 rout.

Not a bad shout, this*


*did I do that right?
