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

[allen]

We need a thick slice of Colombian gammon second half.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Dreadful lack of creativity in that half, devoid of any quality.

 

[BlueDraka]

Cometh the hour mark, Cometh the Hamez

Last 10 minutes for me

 

[alphabet]

what a drab of a game.

bernard has some really poor passing today.

davies lookin good tho.

 

[Milkman]

Need to bring Richarlison on.

 

[Hickson9]

Slow and staid.

We need Richarlison closer to DCL.

Gomes and James on for Davies and Bernard at some point.

 

[gianthogweed]

When is the ref going to book that goalkeeper he has been time wasting since the kickoff

 

[The_La]

West ham are doing their utmost to keep the tempo very very slow, and we've not done anything to speed it up.
They've been taking goal kicks etc slow right from the off.

Got to pick the tempo up.

 

[witchdoc187]

wondering if its worth lumping it into DCL and trying to create something that way

 

[paulbefc]

They're doing a number on us here, but we've at least partly got away with it so far, as it's still 0-0.

Can't be too down if we don't manage to break them down in the end, as they're set up ok, but we don't want to lose this.

Game's crying out for James. If only to get Bernard off the pitch.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

They've just strangled the game.

We've not got enough to force the issue.

Richarlison is off his game. There's nothing from the middle.

Hopefully Rodriguez can make the difference. Or maybe even Gordon as the game goes on.

We need wingers who can create and centre midfielders who can actually pass the ball forward with intent.

 

[Bebeto]

Nothing is the same as nothing

1 shot on target vs nothing at all...

 

[BlueStevie35]

If BFS played this football he will have been ripped to pieces and rightly so but we have started playing exactly like that, playing not to lose..... Painful to watch, we have nothing going forward. This game just illustrates how badly we need to get Sigurdsson, Davies and Coleman gone.

Like I said earlier we are witnessing this team freezing in a big game and bottling it.....

They aren’t bottling it, they are being stifled, it’s up to us to pick the lock West Ham have placed, we have the player to do it on the bench

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

James for Bernard at HT please.

Let me correct that James for Sigurdson. Bernard has actually moved forward this game.

 

[LEONARD]

Is it possible to keep the sound, but put McMannamen on mute?
