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

[TheBigIguana]

I voted Mina for MotM.

I'd be interested in what people though Doucoure did well. Thought he was pretty poor myself.

 

[BarryThompson1]

Richarlson if you dont want to be here bugger off .

 

[Wat Tyler]

End of the day we are 15 points better off than this time last season

 

[Efcbradley89]

We never get away with just one player having an off day we get 11 at once far too often.

 

[kenada_blue]

Certainly not by starting that dwarf.

Did more than Richarlison. He killed every attack

 

[peteblue]

I blame the break because of City...as soon as players relax they switch off......

 

[Sharpies volley]

Agree we lack pace but against a 2 banks playing deep there is little space for traditional pace on the wing as nowhere to run into. The first liwn of 5 just shuffles across if it goes wide to outnumber the full back and winger combination as we saw many times.

We need to learn to break the lines, either by a centre back driving through the first line, or a special pass.

Good teams beat these every day of the week. They're awful. 2 banks of 4 or not. Get wide, get full backs overlapping and get some crosses in for our extremely over rated centre forward to get his head to.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I must say it is funny watching our fans go from thinking the team is the greatest to absolutely hating every single one of them.

 

[Papa Shango]

Richarlisons performances this season make him very droppable.Discuss rationally.

Well I don't think we need to worry about any imminent Barcelona bids right now put it that way.

There is nobody to drop him for to be honest. You would just be replacing him with players who have failed time and time again.

 

[BlueDraka]

Even game, West Ham lucky. No one to blame actually, it was lack of energy and creativity as a team. WH was very disciplined and hard to break down. Good to se our captain back, did a good job. Some players must move on this year, they are not good enough to be in a team from fighting for CL .

Probably the most sensible post since the final whistle went

 

[moylee]

Missed Iwobi

 

[jamieni]

So many players turning in woeful performances there. Couldn't run, couldn't pass, half arsed. Pitiful.

Yeah. It was awful. I’m fuming to be honest but what can you do. Everton in being inconsistent shocker.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

We have lost a few matches this season in the last five minutes and it can be frustrating but I don't want to get all negative on the team. We have done well, had a good run in December. Some of our players are getting healthy again, they will be in form soon and so hopefully we will get back to winning by next match.

 

[TGW89]

Who gets motm after that?

Should be Ma of the Match instead.... and I'd nominate yours.

 

[Mark barnett]

I don't think we were outclassed. The 2 teams were pretty even tbf.

OK I'm exaggerating but Moyes team outworked us and had more desire to win that game.
The defending on there goal was excruciating to watch really rally annoyed me today wonder if having no fans effected the performance
