Match Thread Everton v West Ham United - Team Prediction, Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[BigDunc'sFod]

Beto, McNeil, Harrison and Doucoure.

I mean, if that's your attacking 4 then you're always going to be in the relegation mix.

I'd get that cart horse Beto off right away - what's the actual point of keeping him on?

All four have been absolute pony today

Doucoure in particular looks like he's wearing slippers

 

[Eggs]

…I’ve said my piece about Beto after his debut, regardless I was begging him to score the penalty but the outcome was obvious when he did the big girlie skip to start his ponderous run-up. He tries hard but nobody in their right mind would pay €25m for that standard.

We so much lack quality in possession. Gomes probably the only reliable passer of the ball, hopefully we can win it off the bench.

 

[Neiler]

You're onto something there!

Imagine someone made you a millionaire mate.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

I'll say it again, what does Dyche do on the pitch with these attacking players? The fella is absolutely stealing a living.

 

[gianthogweed]

Guarantee you drop your pen taker and get the 1st pen all season and miss it so Everton

 

[matty1878]

Anyone can miss - Zico, Socrates, Platini, Baggio - but with Everton the pattern, lately, is we miss the big ones regularly. Onana in a decisive cup moment, Beto today, Lukaku in a cup semi to name but three. You have to be big enough to take these kinds of chances, have the nerve to go with the technique. I suspect, with us, it's not even about nerve. We simply have no technique.

it’s called hit it!

 

[chippy1722]

McNeill and possibly Garner are the only players in that pitch who should be taking that pen.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Everton are just a crap team made up of very very crap players....

Mykolenko, hoe many times are we going to see this guy dribble it off the pitch unopposed?
Harrison, total crap, crap crosses that go to no one. That is when he can beat the man stood 5 or 10 yards away from him.
McNeil, crap, offers nothing.
Beto, crap, penalty miss completely expected. DCL who would have played crap anyway....
Godfrey at RB, crap, offers nothing whatsoever going forward so Harrison sits on his toes defending.

Crap manager....

Just all crap, this squad of players and manager need to start thinking and playing like a Premier League club or we will be going, right now we are 6 clear of Luton. We could be level or only 3 points ahead after our second charge.... This team has all the hallmarks of a side that has given it up, inability to play a 5 yard ball and technically very poor.

Only positive from the 1st half is we got a penalty.... that is the only positive.... boooooooooo

 

[Blue Smoke]

Weak penalty where he made it so obvious where he was putting it. Looked like he was close to crying just before he took it.

 

[Rich1878]

He definitely could have hit it harder, but it was still a very good save.

If Pickford makes that save we're all hanging from the rafters

There was zero conviction and you could see he wasn't very confident. Sorry, but was a poor take imo

 

[Billy Dean]

Oh god, the Beto thread will be ablaze

Get in there and stoke the flames Davey

 

[LiamMadrid]

It was a make or break moment for Beto

 

[matty1878]

come pm
blues we need this

 

[MACCA75]

I’d love a striker that doesn’t look like he’s about to vomit when presented with a chance.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Because he’s not a very good finisher.

Then shouldn’t be playing
