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

[BainesontoastNEW]

Other than if we lose Holgate or Zouma early to an injury or red we'll be in trouble. Guess Schneiderlin would have to slot in at centre back- I think he used to play there in his early days at Southampton.

Or Digne.

 

[Howards tipple]

Still a strong team. Hopefully DCL can put in a shift.

 

[blue to the bone]

We can really get at their fullbacks.
3.1 us.
Tosun, DCL and Walcott

 

[Zezti]

Interesting new haircut from Walcott.

 

[Albro]

Disappointed to see DCL out wide. But clearly whoever is manager rates him. Real chance to bury a dire West Ham side today. 3-0 to us.

 

[tragert]

Gana and Theo starts.Yeah, A Blues win,hopefully

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

It is actually a proper weird decision to start DCL. More I think about it the less sense it makes.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I think some of these injuries will have cleared up by Sunday. I hope so, anyway.

See. I told jer.

 

[NCLBlue]

COYB

3-1 DCL, Digne and Tosun

Would like to see us get a clean sheet though

 

[whiteshadow]

DCL is rubbish on the wing + we can't defend using zonal. With Arnautovic up front this could be a tough game as Holgate isn't strong in the air.

Hope I'm proved wrong.

 

[Mozza1987]

Absolutely baffled that Bernard or Lookman are not starting in front of DCL. We ever going to see Bernard like. Been training for like a month now. Only way he going to get match fit is by playing games and today was the perfect one to start him. Stupid

 

[Blue Roo]

Massive game today - momentum wise.
Win today and we jump above Arsenal and Man U into 7th spot
with Richarlison back to face the Gunners next and an opportunity to points on them
Lose against the bottom side and it might be a long time before we're looking at another opportunity to gain a top 7 spot.

 

[hktoffee]

A must win. Although I am worried by the defence.

 

[Zezti]

Can only hope the plan is to bring Bernie on at half time...

 

[Wayno]

Every team we put out just depresses me
