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

[Nymzee]

Would have sworn we played yesterday with how low the intensity is.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Lacklustre game. Really been no urgency. All casual passing no one making runs or looking to get the ball and take control.

 

[atypicalusername]

4 or 5 mins at least.

Hopefully will be added on later. Some positives were Davies playing well, Bernard showing some of his quality and we were starting to turn the screw towards the end. Siggy delivery been okay but has come short in possession once or twice. Godfrey losing possession a lot but is full of trying

 

[hktoffee]

No intensity. Brutal

They are a physical side too.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Problem is we don't have anyone else to take the set pieces when Siggy is off the boil

He's hardly ever on the boil Mikey to be fair.

 

[kiss the crest]

Far too slow, their goalkeeper is awful and not been tested

 

[DanEFC92]

Some half that.

 

[Carloblues]

James for Bernard at HT please.

He's been livelier than Richy who has been awful.

Would be looking to bring him on asap though because that was a horrific first half from both teams.

 

[meagher94]

Crazy to think this team is 3rd at the moment in the league. lol

Well the current league leaders have just dropped 4 points to West Brom and Newcastle

 

[tnc85]

Too slow. Need to be more bravo and pas forward

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Sigurdson a total waste of time and space. Is he even awake? Offering nothing even his set pieces are a crime.

 

[JamesEFC]

Edge of the seat stuff ey lads

 

[TheBigIguana]

Here we are again with a tight coin flip of a game and we're just trying to draw tails for the 5th straight time. I'm not sure what James is available for but if it is a half he should be on.

 

[billybeeru]

Let’s hope that was our bad half because that was very forgettable.

 

[BlueToff]

Noticed this against Sheff Utd, but we're playing a really weird 4-3-3 which is basically like an inverted v in midfield and that's leaving a huge gap in the middle of the pitch. Doucoure, Bernard, Rich and Sigurdsson are all looking to make deep, penetrating runs, but there's then nobody dropping off to receive the pass, and it's playing right into West Ham's hands.
