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

[AsiaAsia82]

For 10 mins after half time I thought we’d Everton this again.
Maybe, just maybe, things are changing

Carlo magnifico!!

I thought richarlison was fantastic today! The stats might not show it but he was unlucky not to score multiple himself

 

[Jim Hopper]

Let’s be honest, yes we weren’t great for their two goals... but they took them effing well.

interesting to see if Pickford advises his wall to stay standing or not (that would determineif that’s mina’s error or not)

They did, I thought West Brom played well for the first 20 minutes. They pressed us and chased everything down made it very difficult for us to play. Reminded me of Southampton at home when we played them last season. Big ask for them to keep playing like that all season though. You need to be resolute at the back as well if you’re gonna continue to play like that because if you push a high line you’re gonna get caught out at some point.

We will be top of the table at the end of the day unless the following happens

palace beat Man Utd by 3 goals away from home

arsenal win at home to wet spam

Seriously depressing side and manager. Moyes deffo has a designated wank vest and cries about being Sir Alex's special choice.

"I'm satisfied in front, but we have to be better at the back."

Describes the situation with me and the missus to be honest.

She’s a former player but she clearly forgot who we played first.

Clearly following the tried and tested method of rehashing stereotypes and chatting out of her arse...
Expect us to get these results?
1st away win to a 'top 6' side in years
2nd win in 42 from games we've gone behind in...

James was fantastic but I just feel you can’t score a hat trick and not be man of the match , that said James is going to be absolutely glorious some of his football was just amazing . Richarlison is working so hard and showing so much ability , he could be on goals himself by now and it seems Allan will be a solid 8/10 every Week .

even when the commentators were complaining early on we could have been 2 or 3-1 up . In my , beer driven opinion , That’s a very decent win and I missed a furious then glorious goodison today . I get others are apparently disappointed, mina in particular needs to have a serious look at himself but That’s a nice win and we’ve took another step forward . Any football fan who can appreciate James , Allan or the improvement in DCL needs to have a little word with themselves

Well said. It was a toss up for me James and DCL.

Do you mean - Any football fan who CAN'T appreciate James , Allan or the improvement in DCL needs to have a little word with themselves

Ive got so used to us being crap in recent years. We actually look pretty good now. Exciting season ahead, can't wait

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

wtf is she talking about Everton have never since 1987 been expected to go and win at Tottenham. Honestly, where do they get these amateurs from.

 

[eamo]

Most of us will have seen a lot in that 1st half to keep us grounded BUT at least never thought we would loose. Nice cup win midweek to keep it going.. Winning mentality

Had everything this game. Crippling worry, Everton that, a James masterclass, 2 red cards and a DCL hat trick. Love it.

 

[Ring master]

West Brom boss Slaven Bilic, speaking to BT Sport about Kieran Gibbs' red card: "It was a red card. He reacted on something James had done to him. You can't do it, I told him that.

"When he clipped him he did not go down and doing things a lot of Premier League players do. But he made a mistake."

On his own red card: "If there is a recording, I had done nothing. I complained, I think as a manager I have every right. It was at half time. I was frustrated, came to him but he started to go.

"I was sure I did not swear, I only explained the situation for the first goal. If the VAR is checking for a minute or even longer then they could see there was a foul in the build up. If you have those eight eyes and they are watching five times they have to see that all. As a manager I want to hear an explanation. I should be in a position to be able to have a word with them but he didn't want to give me that."

On his side's performance: "We were so good in the first half in every way - on the ball and off the ball. That half was 2-1 for us. We have to limit mistakes, they have players in positions with unbelievable quality and that is how they won the game.

"I saw a lot of positives."

sorry mate thanks for clarifying, that’s exactly what I meant . Beer and autocorrect not helping there !

The media are building us up just to smash us down, My feet are firmly planted, It's a start but talk of top 6 is just absolute silly behavior.
