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

That 2min extra time is a ridiculous with that long motionless collapse. Siggy's delivery the past 2 games has been long way off

This really is a game where James would make a difference with his passing

Or even just winning free kicks in dangerous positions

 

[BlueDraka]

Too many pulling out of tackles for me. Get some intensity in there. My worry is they will nick one from a mistake and we labour away to lose 1 0.

We will win this

We are actually missing Iwobis energy
Look at our bench. No pace to bring on

If we win this and go 2nd it’s an awful advert for the quality of the PL.

The most Everton post ever

Its half time right? Judging by some of these comments its like we are about to get relegated hahaha

 

[Ring master]

I hope this is not one of these Everton Performance's that carry on from the 1st half into the 2nd

Knew soon as the team was released this would be a dour one - too many weak players who offer nothing - Davies, Siggurdsson, Bernard.

Coleman back to his poor form of recent seasons.

Would take Sigurdsson off for James

Davies has done his job though.

The options ahead of him - there's just been no movement. Loads of players running past the ball, then just standing level with the West Ham defence.

Are we watching the same match

We haven’t played badly you obviously just expect us to steam roll them, but as we all know from experience, a Moyes West Ham is going to be difficult to break down.

Longer it goes on like this they will fancy their chances. Don’t even think Rodriguez will change it at the moment. There’s not enough movement going on, players standing waiting for the ball to come to them. The fact DCL is having to come deep to get the ball says it all.

 

[Medallo]

One of my new year's resolutions is to be more positive so here is my analysis of the first half. Everton has been able to keep a clean sheet for the first half with no shots on target against us. On our side, Bernard almost scores a goal with a great shot saved by the goalkeeper. Another positive is that James was warming up so the expectation is that we will see him in the second half.

 

[BlueToff]

Coleman should not have been selected, Carlo should have kept with the back 4 of recent games. Where is Iwobi?

He's injured

Well it’s true isn’t it haha. Can you really believe that team out there is 3rd in the apparent best league in the world?

 

[Preki]

We will win this

I hope so. Get 1 and it opens up.

Well we need a player to drop in and get on the ball rather than running away from it.

In that sense, James would help.
