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

think we tired towards the end of the half, hopefully we can kill this off early in the second.
Calvert-Lewin took the goal brilliantly, great ball from Keane as well.

You know what - if Rodriguez had pace, it'd ruin him. He genuinely doesn't need it.

Or he would be a 6 foot Diego Maradona

Ha - Miley Cyrus nemesis at HT

Reasonable first half, bit sloppy towards the end. West Ham havent created a whole lot. Great pass and then touch amd finish from Keane and DCL.

Feel sorry for Kenny.

Dom classy finish. Rich being a little wasteful. What alternative universe have I wandered into?

 

[stretford blue]

We will need a 2nd they have a bit of quality in the final third just need to step it up

 

[Huyton Layne]

My steam has just showed 6 replays of the goal. Worth every one l

 

[sageyefc]

Pickfords distribution has been terrible, at least aim for someone

 

[Lelouch]

West Ham are so so so so bad.

 

[maccavennie]

Tough first half that. Played well in patches and they pinned us back for periods as well.

What a fantastic goal it was by dcl though.

 

[Devanski]

Looked a sore one for Kenny... hope it’s only a sprain.
Comfortable half but coul do with being more clinical.
Great ball from Keane and fabulous control and finish from DCL.

I am watching this without the added sound which feels a bit weird.

It has allowed me to hear Delph all throughout the half though and I am seeing what I thought he might bring based on All or Nothing in terms of being a major voice in the dressing room. That being said, I still hope Burnley take him off our hands.

Solid if not spectacular first half.

Yeah he was screaming at everyone to stay switched on then just before the HT whistle. Seems to be the vocal leader type

 

[Bob Latchford]

Not a great half that. Sigurdsson none existent. Over hit passes. Nkounkou hasn’t crossed the half way line once.

Under instructions to cover Yarmalenko it seems, Digne also coming across to provide cover. Wide players having to do a bit more leg work which has stifled James a little bit although his pass to Richarlison for the offside goal was something else.

 

[helpimonfire]

Well, that was a bit boring.

1 up though COYB

 

[TyphooToffee]

One moment stood out for me. Someone gave the ball away and Allan ran after it and took it off the West Ham player with no effort at all.
