Fulltime Thoughts – Everton absolutely deserved to lose today. Pathetic effort from a team that supposedly have European aspirations. Could have put West Ham to the sword today but only looked interested in the last fifteen minutes of the game. Blues stay in eleventh in the table.
Also, how was this NOT a penalty??
90+10’ – A final effort sees a ball into the box, but Hermansen does well to collect and there’s the final whistle. West
Ham win 2-1.
90+8’ – Summerville goes down again and buys more time for his side.
90+6’ – KDH finds George in space, he cuts in but not enough curl on the shot, goes wide.
90+2’ – Diouf with a lovely cross into the box, and it’s headed down, played into Wilson’s path and he threads it through a number of legs to put West Ham back into the lead 2-1. That’s Wilson’s ninth goal in eight games against Everton.
90+1’ – Everton have come alive now, and a cross is hit too deep.
90’ – Well well.. Tottenham lead at Wolves, and now it’s West Ham sitting in 18th place on goal difference!!
Eight minutes to be added on.
88’ – GET IN!! Everton have been pushing on West Ham and a lovely cross from Myko is headed down by Tarky, and KDH on the penalty spot volleys in with great technique!
86’ – Alcaraz is on for the Blues with Gueye going off.
83’ – Callum Wilson is on for the Hammers, and he loves himself a goal against the Blues. Ball comes to him in the six-yard box, but Keane can clear before he causes more trouble.
Cross into the box headed away by Diouf. Garner’s throw to Barry looks to have come off Fernandes hand! Everton livid, they want a penalty, and VAR is looking into it. He looked to have slapped the ball away for a corner, no penalty given.
77’ – Ndiaye wins a corner on the right. Taken short, cross into the box, Barry header! Comes off Soucek’s head and then the bar, and cleared! That was a chance.
73’ – Disasi gives up a corner under pressure from Barry. Dewsbury-Hall inswinger from the right, at the far post Mavropanos heads clear. Iroegbunam played in, his cross to the middle is barely cleared, good chance.
Everton keep the ball and keep pressuring, but Ndiaye’s cross is woeful and it’s a goalkick.
69’ – Ndiaye fouled. Freekick into the box, cleared, falls to Iroegbunam who lofts his volley way wide and over.
65’ – O’Brien and McNeil go off, and George and Iroegbunam are on. That would be Garner going to right back then. George has gone to left wing with Ndiaye switching to the right.
Disasi the latest to crumple to the floor in the box, and again no penalty given nor should be.
63’ – Garner latest to go in the book, Summerville goes down again. West Ham player looked to have run into the midfielder, but oh well.
61’ – Ndiaye wins a corner on the left. Garner inswinger, low and cleared. Foul in the box anyway by Everton.
60’ – Bowen goes down in the box after getting caught between O’Brien and Garner, no penalty there and Stockley Park concurs.
57’ – Garner gets to the byline on the left side, but his cross into the box is straight at Hermansen. Poor that.
Don’t think a single Everton player has been better than a 5/10 today. They’re already checked out for the season looks like, on David Moyes’ 63rd birthday to boot.
50’ – Summerville beats O’Brien again who has been booked already, cross falls to Taty Castellanos, Pickford comes flying out and makes the save, and there looks to be some incidental contact. VAR checks, no penalty.
Bowen sends in the corner and Soucek rises highest to score, West Ham lead 1-0.
49’ – Bowen beats Mykolenko but Keane cuts out the cross. Long throw is cleared.
47’ – McNeil goes down, no foul. Summerville rounds Tarkowski who then sends him flying and he will be booked.
46’ – Second half underway, no changes that we see.
Halftime Thoughts – Everton certainly not playing like they want to win and get into one of the European spots. West ham meanwhile have been the brighter of the two teams, but not by much. A dull affair really, short on quality, and one we’re only watching because our team is playing, ugh.
Starting Lineups
Everton – Moyes goes with Barry up top.
West Ham – Santo has his full complement of players available.
Match Preview
Everton are back on the road again watching their chance of making European competition diminishing again, but that is exactly the situation in which they have thrived and bounced back in.
They will be away at West Ham who are stuck in a duel with Tottenham Hotspur to not become the third team to drop to the Championship, and only have a two-point advantage over Spurs.
David Moyes will be minus Jack Grealish and Jarrad Branthwaite for the remainder of the season, with Beto missing out due to a concussion and Charly Alcaraz still recovering from injury. Nuno Espirito Santo has a full squad to choose from.
