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

Ok. 8 nil after that presser.

 

[zzr45]

Oh wow look when we waited until the next official press conference we found out all the players that were injured a few weeks ago aren’t anymore. How amazing!

bernard won't be strating imo.

I reckon Walcott and DCL on the wings with Bernard to come on and terrorise with Lookman on 70.

 

[Albro]

We'll need to score 4 times to guarantee a win. Two for sigurdsson, one for lookman and Schnederlin with one from 40 yards in a 4-3 thriller.

Would be great if we can get out two of Walcott Bernard and Lookman on opposite flanks with Siggurdson and Tosun. Our attacking game is completely different when we have balance and don’t look to shoehorn strikers onto the wing.

I get that but I think it would be a good game for DCL to play, they will struggle with his pace and direct play.

 

[Blue Juice]

DCL nailed on left wing with two actual left wingers on the bench

surely can't start DCL on the wing over lookman, how can he impress when hes not given proper game time

Can't see Lookman and Bernard on the pitch together unless Bernard is playing in behind the striker.

Or, alternatively and probably more realistically, how can he be given game time when he doesn't impress?

Impress the manager during the week, get put in the team. He's said no end of times he wants competition for places. Lookman's competition has just been out for three games so if he was burning it up in the training sessions he would have been playing.

West Ham Presser highlights:

No thoughts on 'being tapped up'. Focus totally on the football.

No thoughts on any punishments for it ... "its nothing to do with me or my players".

Loves the support Moshi gives him and they can work well together to improve the club.

Mina injury free and needs now to only build his fitness up.

Same with McCarthy but also needs to build up his confidence.

DCL fit for tomorrow. Jags still out. Bernard to be involved and is fit. Gomes still out. Keane out for a few more days and is doing specialised work in training. Walcott fit. Gueye fit.

No new news on Coleman until tomorrow.

On Lookman ... "I expect big commitment from every player when they come through the gates at training. The market wasn't just for him and now its over. He's already at a big club that wants him. He's happy. He needs to be focused and give us 100% every day."

West Ham will be tough but we have to play with intensity and play to win.

Learning every day. Huddersfield gave us respect and we need to learn to play in different formations.

Pleased for Richarlison. We miss him but him, Walcott Lookman and Bernard are good and big players for us.

Silva said "I told you when he arrived Richarlison can play any of the front 3 positions. It doesnt surprise me he was good down the middle for Brazil".

We have injuries but it's up to us to work around them.

 

[tnc85]

Looking better now. Will be nice to see Barnard get a least 20 mins. I'd be tempted to give Lookman a go from the start. He has to take his chance now before Richarlison comes back.

 

[Leeboy1974]

I can’t believe Mina is still unfit

 

[DonJulio]

Walcott, Calvert-Lewin, Gueye and Bernard fit for you lot, meanwhile, Wilshere and Hernandez are out for us. The pendulum swings even further in Everton's favour. Sunday is going to be fun.

Thanks for that mate. God it’s nice to have a positive press conference this season compared to Koeman being monotone, unsworth being out of his depth and fat sam being fat sam!
