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

[Osamabindiesel]

I seen Mina warming up, I hope to god we don`t go to a back 3 in the second half.... How many elite managers have tried this INCLUDING RB and it doesnt work!

If Iwobi and Rondon go off, it may be worth it. Otherwise no

 

[kenada_blue]

Said it a few times but an unfit Rondon playing himself into fitness is a terrible advert for our academy.

"Experience"

 

[BlueToff]

On Rondon

He's played what, seven games now, over seven weeks, all while training and not going away on international duty.

Lads, he's just really crap.

 

[spectateur]

Tim Howard now also calling out how poor Iwobi has been.

How fortunate you are to have an Evertonian on the commentry team.

Iwobi walking straight back into the side isn't a terrific endorsement of Gordon either.

 

[Misa]

Iwobi has been all over the place. He's getting in good positions but his decision-making is terrible. Rondon looks better but still not good enough. Touch and speed looks poor. He might get his touch back but doubtful on his speed. A 10 to 15 minutes experienced back-up forward just like it says on the label.

 

[Street end man]

9 v 11 and we've held them. 11 v 11in the next half and we win.

I'm a little confused as to what iwobi does in training that he can't do in a game. How many chances does someone get when his touch is worse than Lukaku's was, he's a walking turnover and yet he keeps getting a game.

Makes a lovely cuppa.
And Rondons tray bakes are wonderful...

 

[Bluerover]

“Get finish” for their offside goal… not sure smashing a ball from a yard can be counted as a great finish

you have the volume up haven't you?

He looked decent at the beginning of the season, going back to the mean I guess.

 

[BlueToff]

I tell you what, I'd imagine a lot more people are gonna appreciate what Dom does for the team having had to sit through that competition winner ambling around up front.

Letting the manager of the day go out and have full autonomy over transfers.

We chased him all summer. It's mental.

And this isn't a dig at Benitez. It's a dig at the club for allowing it to happen. Said it before, Charlie Austin would have been a better option on a free.

(This view isn't changing if Rondon bags the winner, btw)

He’s pretty good in the studio as well. NBC Sports does a good job here to be honest. There’s some favoritism but it’s more balanced than what it sounds like you all deal with.

 

[Blue Roo]

Iwobi's too slow

 

[sladen90]

West ham had more of the ball.... Us the best chances.

 

[Milkman]

Pickford's Adderall seems to have worn off. He's back to playing on the edge again, will lose us the game if he doesn't get a grip.
