Match Thread Everton v West Ham - 8PM 29/11/2017

[Huyton Layne]

Pickford has been fantastic so far.

get in. it's a tough decision for the ref (even if he saw the tip). Because it doesn't matter that he's touched the ball, he's taken out the striker who's clear on goal. You see plenty of fouls these days where a player tackles, but takes the player out in their follow through. I don't agree that those should be fouls, but if they're given, the pen is correct.

Lucky boy there Wayne. Ah well, nice to have a lead for a change. That was a clear pen as well.

Very poor pen. Rooney is a shambles nowadays.

Is MOTD ON tonight ? . They'll be demanding a 10 match ban for DCL

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Unsworth in?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I have to say Sigurdsson is excellent around the area. He has just sucked everywhere else on the pitch. Plays a lot of killer passes and touches around the box

 

[Prevenger17]

DCL out for two games then

 

[Saint Domingo]

Ironic that when we’re utterly crap we’re getting pens left right and centre.

 

[Death]

The Fat Sam effect.

 

[Brennan]

Pickford telling the back line to pipe down. Make him captain already.

Like Poll said, DCL would still have got to the ball if he hadn't been taken out by Hart, therefore it has to be given as a pen as Hart's prevented a goalscoring opportunity and isn't in control of the ball.

Graham Poll, tell savage to koff.

And he still argues the tit

 

[Death]

In case anybody is interested, Savage doesn’t think it’s a penalty.

He shouldn't be keeping it to himself like that.

 

[banno]

I just dont understand how ANY manager can think that dropping so far off defensively against a bad side is going to do anything but help them gain confidence?

There is no one else in that defence or midfield that can pick a forward pass......that might just be the reason he is dropping deep....to try and start play

 

[Shibbywiggles]

The true fightback starts with a proper Evertonian

Everton pyjamas and all that mate
