Match Thread Everton v West Ham. 5th March at 1500.

West Ham are West Ham are West Ham. Regardless of their league position they are, and always will be, a soft touch for us.

The only chance they had here today was if they tried to keep it tight at the back and rely on a defensive rear-guard action. But their injuries don't permit it. They'll come out and play and we'll put a hatful past them.

I'm desperate to see Besic starting. I think he could give us that vital edge in the big games we've got coming up.

Absolutely cockon MrT pole

Come on the toffs.

Their form Player at ATM seems to be Noble, people are trying to get him an England call up. Think Payet will be anonymous today.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Noble is bog average. The only way he should get a call up is like Carlton Palmer, Leon Oman etc got a call up. If we can't deal with noble we've got problems. We just need to work hard in the midfield to shut him up. Payet on the other hand....he needs stopping.

Agreed , I have never rated Noble, but he seems to be locking down their midfield,(that's his job). Looking at their forum's they seem terrified that Reid won't make it in defence, because it would mean the young lad Oxford has to play against Rom.

We go into the match with things running in our favour.

West Ham can hardly put a defence together at the moment. They will miss Collins badly, and the changes will affect their midfield too. They haven't had much time to recover from a competitive match against Spurs on Wednesday before setting off for Goodison.

Payet is a great little player, but he can't do much without the ball. We can field a strong team today, and most of the action will be in front of the West Ham goal. Lukaku will have every chance to add to his total.

I respect the optimism but don't write off the Bilic men. It will be a tough game especially if Bilic sets his team like Pulis did with baggies.

I will be happy to see him on bench and get run out knowing prediction of our medical team

1-3

I've noticed that posters who tip Everton to win and nominate a score mostly have the opposition scoring. ie Everton 5-1.

If they think we can score, say, 3 or more goals in a match why would they think we'd let one in?

You've got us losing at home and the visitors scoring 3. Why do you think we'll score if we're going to be badly beaten?
