Match Thread West Ham Utd 2-1 Everton. Saturday 25th April 2026

Put George up top , he's played there before ? Or go all Barca from years ago and play 6 midfielders , we've got enough of them

In his presser he was a right plonker ,I am not sure he wasn't inebriated .Acted in an ignorant manner and behaved like a lout ,not what I would expect of Everton's manager .He did discuss if that what you can call it ,Braiden Graham ,he almost cried when he was asked and made it quite clear the lad has no chance .
Shame when he is scoring for fun ,a goal is a goal at any level and some of the ones he scores are scorchers that defy the level difference .

Scoring for fun at U18/21 level and scoring in the PL are two completely different worlds. He’s a good player but it would be an almighty gamble at this late stage to throw him in from the off and expect him to score

Imagine he misses a sitter or gives the ball away and we get beat. He'd get pelters.

….like to see Graham on the bench.

"Not good enough for this level" "League One player" "Doesn't have what it takes"

And then do an "Amokachi" when Moysie is trying to make a sub

 

[Mr PEN86]

Gotta love Guila. Always asks the pressing questions others in the pressers fail to do. No chance for Braiden Graham according to how Moyes answered that Wasn't even sure if Barry would lead the line so I'm going with Charly up top and George in from the off. Feel like he comes alive more in away fixtures but let's see tomorrow. Remember when West Ham were 3pts bankers in the days of Lukaku. Less no nowadays. Sigh. Really need 3 big points here. UTFT

 

[Bluebonic]

That Centre half pairing though, Crysensio whatshisface will have a fine time ripping the a new one

Mavropanos and disasi will bully barry. He'll cry it off.
Have runners from a packed midfield and ndiaye more central. Pull them all over the place.

 

[D410]

At this point. Let the bullets fly so to speak. Try everything - player and set up wise to get the 3pts.

No point settling for formula.

In about a month, when the season is done and everton are mid table and not in European football, people will realize that while it was nice to not be in a relegation battle for a change, they achieved that by only playing veteran players and players out of position instead of developing any young players and that the same exact holes on the roster that were there before the season started (RW, LB, RB, and ST) are exactly the same only they already spent and wasted 100m.

Huge summer ahead.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

I certainly think Michael Keane would put in a decent shift up front, even if he was only given half a game.

People need to stop this. It is totally different playing upfront to CB. Timing runs, style of jumps, hold up play etc. And there is a huge difference between pushing a CB up for a few minutes at the end of the game on desperation - which seldom works these days - and starting a CB there.

The thing is, Patterson is the one that made me laugh, not Keane up top.

So you're saying put Keane CB, O'Brien RB, and Patterson up top? I like the way you think

 

[Huyton Layne]

I apologise for this bad steer. The heartbreak of a derby defeat had me hallucinating Giulia Bould tweets.

That was a tweet, for sure. He wasn't subbed for concussion, so if he'd only got the face swelling and been ok otherwise, he would be clear to play.
Think they're ok with throwing the word concussion around now as we only have one game in the 12 day 'protocol' period.
