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

[Cameron Manning]

I accept that but it has definitely gotten worse at us in recent years.

We also have far, far too many lads (even older fellas) absolutely smashed and coked up to their eyeballs, to go watch a football match.

To be fair, I imagine it would be better watching them while intoxicated, a lot of games this season anyway, and that’s just the home games, after travelling a couple of hundred miles to watch that game today, you’d need a good few drinks to keep you going.

I see nothing but an Everton win Tuesday

I hope you are right Ring master, every win is vital in this league at the moment.

Loads of drink and coke is a bad combination though mate, especially just to watch the football.

 

[Tubey]

They could have won 10-0 today and I'd still havie pitied them because they have David Moyes as manager, the dour-faced beaut.

Fair enough, I was talking about a few bevvies, that’s my vice!!!

Now it’s settled down. We shouldn’t underestimate just how bad our injuries are to key personnel.

Richarlison - anything good comes through him one way or another
Sigurdsson - not on form but a better player than Davies every day of the week.
gomes - a midfielder who isn’t scared of the ball and if plays well is excellent.
gbamin - untested due to injury but assuming he isn’t a dud would orocide some steel in the middle.
Four key absences in my eyes.
1-1 today ain’t too bad,

Sigurdsson isn't a key absence. I don't care how you spin it.

He shouldn't be.

But he is when the alternative is Delph.

Nah. They all stink. If it was Sigurdsson and Davies we would be sat here killing Gylfi instead. We are doing what the RS did with Lucas Leiva.

And Iwobi too, as well as Bernard going off yet again.

We missed any kind of creativity today in the midfield, sad to say I’d rather have Gylfi in there ahead of Delph

You're saying that just assuming Gylfi is creative.

The reality is he's not. He wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference.

Frustrating game in many ways. Gordon seems decent enough, Delph actually fronted up and passed forward today, and generally played well. Moise just can't catch a break at the minute. Walcott hasn't got the brain of a footballer. We have a very blunt, unimaginative, panicky attack. We never pick the right pass when it matters. Dcl always manages to hold on to the ball too long before attempting a decisive pass. he always takes the wrong option. There were 2 occasions when if he'd passed earlier instead of faffing about we'd have had clear chances on goal.

Anyway, a point's ok but we need to display more imagination and composure in attacking areas. Holgate, pickford and delph were our best performers today.

 

[Connor]

Missing Gomes more than we've missed Sigurdsson – has been the case since he got injured.

They need to blow up that stadium- the worst I have ever attended for a football match in regards atmosphere.

For 2nd away game running did we have a shot on target 2nd half?

Ok we got a point but we were abysmal in just about every department.
