WH still have plenty of time to throw this away but gotta say, Everton's defence is shocking. Cant cope with Arnie or Yarmo at all. And what was Pickford thinking?

That bit where Tosun had the feeble shot. Why was Gylfi in his way? He defending for West Ham now?!

Fuck me, Pickford. Talk about end-to-end this game. Why Lookman hasn't come on i've no idea.

Niasse and Tosun couldn't kick a fucking yoga ball at an open net for 5 yards away.
Well done demo, you guys deserved it.

Yeah, don't wanna rub it in but I thought it was a fair result. I thought wed blow it after the Siggy goal but I actually thought we played pretty well for the most part. Arnie's injury scare is a big worry but god did we need those points.
I'm obviously happy with the result but thought it was an excellent game all round. Really open, both teams going for it. But a bad day at the office for Everton. And agree about Tosun. If he's basically meant to replace Lukaku then, well, he never will. |

Big Sam said last year that Tosun was Europe's best buy. That guy....

Thanks. With Arnie possibly injured Chicharito will probably be a starter till he comes back |

Antonio came on for Arnie when we were trying to hold onto a lead. Antonio isn't a massive goal threat but he works hard in midfield. Chicharito would've only been the right option if we were chasing that game.

I'd say players like Chicharito are being slowly phased out of the Prem altogether (at least until they become fashionable again), as even the lower ranked teams appear to be embracing a more fluid, essentially total football attitude to players roles and positions. Although very different players, in terms of their adaptability and sheer work rate, the Prem strikers that I think best embody that are Lukaku, Firminho and (when he's properly fit) Kane. But their equivalents are also at lower ranked teams now: Arnie at West Ham (essentially a false 9), Josh King at Bournemouth, Zaha at Palace, etc. I don't know what it's like in other leagues but I think there's less and less options for players like Chicharito, in the Prem at least.
Again, until they come back into fashion. Also on the substitution, it was enforced but I'm glad Pellegrini had on one level the sense not to go all out for another goal but not go fully defensive either. I'm not suddenly pretending West Ham's troubles are over (it's Chelsea next, then MU) but for the 1st time this season they were playing some decent football. Anderson and Yarmo also finally showing good signs. |

and yes they were playing decent football at last. not beautiful, it was rather chaotic most of the time, but very nice goals actually. you’re the anti-wolves hahaha. much improved though. although everton was also a bit of a mess (no offense h8kurdt) which means increased opportunities. but hey, goals redeem all. |

Absolutely none taken. Lord knows I can be their harshest critic and yesterday was an omnishambles. We have two strikers who couldn't score with a prostitute and a defence about as leaky an incontinent 90 year old man. Just ridiculous.

I was listening to Talksport after the game and it was full of Everton fans, most of whom seemed pretty unconvinced by Silva, mainly regarding the defence. I've not seen enough of them so far to really comment but it would be fair to say that all 3 of West Ham's goals yesterday were in part the result of bad defending.
And god knows what you'll do with Tosun. I only assume Richarlison will replace him next week, now he's sat out his ban. |
