West Ham United v Everton FC Confirmed Team Sheets And Links

But why Nord?????

But we will see if nordtveit can actually live up to his promise before we signed him...
Calleri as well...mmm!!

Looks like a 5-3-2 will three centre backs be enough the handle lukaku?

Interesting line up and bench, never heard of Makasi and Holland, youth players I presume... hope Sakho gets a go

COYI!

COYI

I'm sure if Calari could nick a goal it would do wonders for him

First half, very pleased with the performance.

It's pretty good so far, ginge has been a rock and Masuaka is looking good on that left hand side. We have been the more dominate, hope they keep it up, be nice if we can keep Lukaku quiet in the second half an nick one ourselves.Can only prey.

Masaaki fanominal

Same as the first make me happy man. COYI

Masuaku is a real threat down the left side!!good performance all round lets hope we keep it up second half!!COYI...

Calleiri has had a reasonable first start, but it is time for Sakho.

to see him on the scoresheet today.

bloody great team effort, for me Collins was MOM with Masuaku a close second. I was also impressed with Fernandez, it must have been the blond hair.

Everton had not a single shot on target. Great defensive performance. Only Jagielka's face prevented Lanzini from scoring. Good play today from Collins, Masuaku, Lanzini, Reid and meanwhile Fonte and Nordveit were better than expected despite giving the ball away often. That point is precious -- it really eases the worry about relegation. I would still feel a lot happier if we were to get over 40 points. Can't see the next couple of weeks producing much -- Stoke away? Who knows, if they play like they played today.

Excellent effort.. . I'm sure it was Matt Holland on my co-commentary stream today spouting off how Everton were so poor which didn't do a patched up West Ham side any credit at all.
I thought we were marvellous and in Arthur Masuaku, a snip at £6m - In fairness, and they all put in a shift today.... COYI!

with B'mouth, hull & swans all winning, it keeps pressure on us. Swans have pulled 2 points closer to us. somehow Slav needs to kepp the team ticking along.

it went better than I thought ... And Lukaku did not make us goals. I agree, good point and good performance COYI

you cant judge a book by its cover, I was not that impressed with the line up, how wrong was I. I thought the guys did a great job and I new, just new they would say Everton were poor, we stopped them playing and went at them, great performance and deserved all 3 points. I know we played well as I never shouted at the TV once ha ha. Out sanding players were Collins, Masuaku, Lanzini and Ayew played best I have seen him for us.

Best defensive performance all season co incides with Adrian returning to the team. May not have had much to do but did the basics well and unlike randolph was constantly barking at the defence.

They must really have done their homework ,even Nordveit was good ,Masuaku is heading for the honour of hammers favourite

Im afraid this Carroll thing has to end ,we cant go on like this i dont think any other club would persevere for so long with a striker thats only fit for half the season we are going to have to break the bank to try and land a quality striker 15 -20 a season .Funny thing is if Carroll was playing today we would have scored at least 2

But i am pleased as punch at that performance today,if only we were better at finishing we would have deservedly won it!!
that was his best performance by a country mile from nortveit,also i thought sakho when he came on was showing signs of his old self...& masuaku every time i see him he gets better!!

These two were rock solid in defense, but Masuaku had the Payet skills when he moved forward with the ball. I said in my very early in the season posts that he is a very talented player, and was sad to hear early this year that they were going to unload him at the end of the season as he "disappointed Bilic". To me he is proving to be the best left back in the premier division. The two Davids should act to keep him otherwise the likes of Man City, Chelsea, and Liverpool could target him. He, Ayew and Lanzini really took the game to Everton. Some huge positives from this game with Everton not having a shot at goal, whereas Lanzini was unlucky not to have won it for West Ham with that goalbound strike that struck Jagielka's face. Fernandes also displayed his skilful talents. Nordveit had some good spells, Callieri never looked like he could score. Also, Sakho made no significant impact but then he needs to gain his full fitness. Would have liked to see Fletcher starting instead of Callieri. If the team continues to perform like this, all I can say is that West Ham could nick possibly six points to add to the single point that they took today. Finally, yes we could have lost it as Collins was lucky not to have given away what seemed like a certain penalty. Thankfully the two or three anti West Ham referees were not officiating today.

Some people think Carroll would have made a difference, and he certainly would have added height, strength and skill. Since we had so many corners and well-positioned free kicks, it's hard to think that AC would not have gotten on the end of one. On the other hand, it was so refreshing to see West Ham counterattacking with speed, more passes on the deck, interplay between Lanzini, Ayew, Masuaku and Fernandes. I just think if Carroll had been there we'd have seen more long balls, more predictable stuff, and Everton knowing how to play against that. Toronto is right that we didn't see much from Sakho, but if you watched him off the ball he was working hard to get in behind defenders and to use speed, especially down the right -- there were little glimpses of his old self, and it whet my appetite for the kind of football we played when he was scoring the season before last. I loved the work done by the two blonde-dyed wingbacks Masuaku and Fernandes. They got forward AND back really well. Neither really seemed a threat to score, however. Would love to see this team with Antonio and healthy Sakho in the side (Antonio for Ayew and Sakho for Calleri). COYI.

before the game I would taken a draw but on the day I thought we were the better team. Like Jeffhammer I thought Norfveit was very impressive as was Masuaku. Yet again between the sticks we have issues, Adrians stupidity could have cost us! Still need a result at Stoke to be safe.

Still an open question which one it will be. With Palace beating Liverpool away, it doesn't look like being them -- Allardyce has never been relegated. On current form I don't think it'll be Bournemouth or Leicester, either. That leaves us, Burnley, Hull, and Swansea to fight it out for EPL survival. Of all those teams, believe it or not, the two with the worst form are Burnley and West Ham -- only seven points in the last ten for each. Hull have 13 and Swansea 10. Is it going to come down to needing a win at Burnley on the last day, for two teams in Claret and Blue? Seems like one of those things that is written.
