Match Thread Everton v West Ham United (Sunday 16th Sept 4.00)

[brigadier]

Play to our best players strengths, work hard and stay organised, that's how to beat West ham, nothing fancy about it.

 

[deipnosophist]

In a couple weeks we’re going to be signing Landon Donovan and Bakary Sako on frees just to make up the numbers.

I’d love us to get Big Vic back as well...

 

[BigBlueConk]

About ten other teams could have been bottom as well if they had the fixtures West Ham had.
False position, love or hate them.

If we have to put out a team made up mostly of the Koeman legacy then it will be a tough and painful day.

 

[gonetomorrow]

We'll boot these Hammers dahn the ole apples and pears me ole mate me ole china.

Lacina Traore also on a free. Let's sign them both and just lob balls into the box.

It’s not a false position; regardless of their fixtures they’ve been truly awful.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

West Ham will definitely fancy their chances of actually winning this with our absolutely ridiculous and ever increasing injury list. Makes this an even more important game now. We just cannot be drawing or losing at home against a team that is bottom of the league with out a single point and have only scored 2 goals and had 10 scored against them. Win is the only acceptable result no matter how big our injury list is. Just hope that the players/team that is available and put out there are really up for it and put their best efforts in. If we do, then we should win comfortably but then this is Everton and nothing is ever simple.

COYB's !!!

I don’t think they will be focused on us. They are playing themselves in this game with their confidence so low.

Pellegrini is all about his style - Rarely changing his ways to stifle the opposition. With their confidence low, we need to put them under pressure from the off and watch them implode.

The injuries aren’t great, but there is enough talent to come in and make a point to improve their chances in the first team.

Going with 3-0 Tosun 13, 34, 68.

 

[BigDuncFunk]

This has dropped points written all over it if Bernard and Walcott dont make it. No quality in the midfield, creativity out wide and Tosun can't create his own chances.

I love this expectation of our fans that injured players will never heal.

 

[toffeejack]

Scrape a win is the best we can hope. Don't care how bad West ham are, we'll have no players off the bench to win the game for us and a lot of stars missing from the first team.

This will be akin to the team that will play the league Cup.

 

[Aberblue]

I love this expectation of our fans that injured players will never heal.

It only seems that way.

 

[everton1953]

I am confident that some if not all of the new crocked signings will be ready after the next international break and will play in November.

 

[Remember-the-name]

Tosun first goal Sunday.
