Match Thread Everton v West Ham United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[BlueToff]

Yeah, unless he has a small niggle from training. I'd start him over Mina every time and rest him in the cup.

Well I don’t think it should be one or the other against a team with West Ham’s height. But does suggest we’re wanting to play a higher line

mina has been great lately

I personally havent been confident about an Everton team for 33 years

I think we can win every game we play.

Hopefully Holgate will cope with the pace of Benrahma and Mina with the ariel threat of Haller. Gonna be hard to break them down. They are well organised. Will take a scruffy 1-0 all day long. Added to the fact it’s my birthday and we have a poor record of winning on it, I’ll take any win.

Remember that game when Richard Wright injured himself in the warm up.

I for 1 welcome us making sure it never happens again.

It does actually make a bit of sense, the 2 keepers thing. If 7 outfield players on the bench is not enough, then, well.... might as well just not bother even trying to pick a team.

 

[MikeH72]

Im not that confident at all now tbh lol think thats a weak team we have out when you consider the drop off in quality from Allan, James, Keane & Iwobi to Davies, Siggurdsson, Holgate & Bernard.

Think 1 goal settles this be shocked if we wallop them but who knows.

You hate Iwobi don’t you???

 

[ForeverBlue92]

We've won 4 games in a row without Allan and James, Iwobi gets smashed to bits by this place every week. Keane is miss tho.

I've slated Iwobi previously and his end product is still poor but he's certainly improved in recent weeks and does his share of defensive work / gets us up the pitch with a bit of pace.

Think we'll see a drop off with Bernard who's too powderpuff.

West Ham last season at goodison was one of the worst teams I had ever seen

West Ham last season at goodison was one of the worst teams I had ever seen

Soucek has made their midfield much more competent than it was starting Mark Noble every week.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Wonder what’s up with Iwobi. Good to see Bernard Richarlison and potentially James all getting on the pitch.

 

[Goat]

You hate Iwobi don’t you???

Lets not bother with facts.

I reckon he’ll clean up against these.

No BS please blues. Solid showing and 3 points.

 

[R.Reddington]

have a bad feeling here.

 

[H.H.]

In the last few days West Ham have played two games and are again quickly away for the second game on the trot so it really should be a home win.
For at least 4 reasons, please win.
