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

[hibbo'sclass]

DCL for the goals, but was impressed by (of all people) Fabian Delph. Thought he did a great job this evening.
Big shout out to the ladies getting to the cup final

 

[Preki]

Allan I hope is OK but we do have midfield depth now. Richie would be the biggest loss. Works so hard and a pest for the opposition throughout. Iwobi did OK but comparing the two is like caviar and a pot noodle.

 

[BlueStevie35]

20 goals in 6 games

To put that into perspective, we scored 58 in all competitions last season, we’re 9 off half that going into Saturday’s game. Unreal change in atmosphere atm

 

[Verbal Kint]

Delph was magnificent, can't believe I wrote those 3 words.

DCL MOTM

Injuries have ruined a magnificent performance

Gylfi, Delph, definitely DCL, all lifted a level with the quality around them.

Still not sure about iwobi, half the time looks like the kid who won a competition to play with the first team, other times shows what he could be.

Li Tie and Li Weifeng were so much better than Iwobi though

Li Wobi has a nice ring to it

I do question how Iwobi gets on the pitch and Gordon can’t even get on the bench.
Every move Iwobi dies is telegraphed, he gets the ball and stood and any half decent player can read his next move a mile off.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

I'd far rather it had been a poor 2-1 with the reserves and no injuries, real sickener

Fielding such a strong side and picking up such possibly serious injuries could signal a real turning point in our season, a real step backwards.

Gutted.

 

[GerryLives]

Out with the old. In with the new.
Positivity. Strong mental attitude. Winning and scoring goals.
Leave the old disappointment behind, let's get stuck in and win every single game.
The players are doing it, time for us to back them and give them belief.

Gordon is ill, he wasnt available

When's the draw?

 

[The Trinity.]

Useless will always remain useless I'm afraid. Coward will always remain coward.

Yep......tend to agree with you. But I suppose he wasn't too bad tonight. But a squad player at best. A squad player that I don't really want to see much of.
Our new signings are great. But we need more. We need a strong bench.
A bench that can cope with maybe the absence of Allan and Richarlson for hopefully not that long.
Anyhow........DCL is on form. JR is a genious. And getting fitter by the game.
Doucoure will be back against Brighton. Maybe Gordon also.
Digne looked ok at LCB. Nkounkou looks good. Coleman's playing ok. Delphi looked ok. Keane is playing well. And Pickford is Pickford.
Here's hoping we have enough to beat Brighton. I think that we have....

So maybe no Siggy for a while. He's not in my starting 11.
And lets get that strong bench. Pointless imo having Siggy.....Iwobi....Davies......Bernard......Walcott all on the bench. Any two of that lot would do.
We need stronger. We need proper cover. Up The Toffees

I think the last time we won six opening games we won the League, and WW2 broke out.....
