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

[Blue Sky]

I enjoyed the break from Everton. Not looking forward at all to this

Me too , can we not get a stay of execution from the FA and call our games off , just say we're not feeling too chipper and we'll be back next season.

 

[Blue Roo]

As important as 3 points would be, this game is very unlikely to be the crucial one. This is definitely not the last chance with 10 more left. Burnley is far more important.

Yeah was thinking same with a lot still to play for, but its the mentality that going to see them avoid relegation and if they don't draw a line in the sand on this one can't see em doing it. They've had time. They have to do it for themselves, ie without Goodison.

That Newcastle game seems like such a long time ago now, actually a bit gutted our next two games are away, itchy to see them live again at Goodison

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Holgate in midfield

 

[Bebeto]

I suspect 3 at the back...Holgate Keane and godfrey...with kenny and Coleman as wing backs...only real option in cm then are doucoure and vdb...the front 3 will be interesting as I am expecting both richy and dcl to play from the start...probably Gordon but that leaves out gray and iwobi

Seen him in midfield a few times already this season. Sadly it's when he's been playing at CB and drifted off, leaving us wide open.

We’ve played the 3-4-3 in most of Franks matches and it only ever worked once against a disinterested Brentford.

Four at the back with 3 in midfield for me. (Even if it’s Alli or Holgate)

 

[Ufotone]

Come on lads, about time you earned the crazy £££ you get paid

Show us how to stay in the PL please

I'd be extremely surprised, bordering on gobsmacked. He played there once this year. Had a shocker and got a red card.

Same not good enough or smart enough to play as a 3 no leader between them and get pulled away from the space. Would try dacoure dvb sitting back ali as the cam off dcl. Be a massive boost of we can get ali back to his best

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Holgate in midfield

And in return I’d be amazed if he isn’t red carded if he plays midfield

I’d be happier if he wasn’t in the squad

Yeah wasn’t a great cameo. Just anything/anyone ahead of Gomes though

 

[Toffeelover]

Got my fingers crossed, my arms crossed and legs crossed for this one.

 

[neil999]

Surely not jjk wing back again pls almighty

 

[Aberblue]

Might well be the team on Sunday.
I can see the point of starting Delph, but shouldn't we keep Delph for Burnley away ? He wont be able to start 2 games in 1 week.
Gray has been poor of late, so rightly not in.

Delph won't be available for at least a week according to Frank.
