• Moyes has done a brilliant job stabilising this football club. For that I’m very grateful. What I would like to see though is some bollocks from the manager. Just have a go, Dave! Fortune favours the brave. Nothing to lose now. COYB...
  Nick Page in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• What have I learned?1) Nothing about Moyes I didn't already know. He likes to run an 11...plus 2 or 3 on standby - not a squad2)The key to defending your 6yd box isa) Don't fill it full of defenders* getting in each others way - there's enough of the opposition doing that.b) Attack the f***ing Ball!Edit; * remove 1 to the edge of the 'D' and TWO to the centre circle...lets see if the opposition has the bottle to send all their players into the 6yd box then.Did I mention Attack the f***ing Ball...
  Derek Thomas in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• I agree with Patric; if the outfield players do their jobs as they should be done then the ball doesn’t get to Soucek and Bowen doesn’t have an uncontested header. The keeper’s preserve is the six yard box that lies within the posts, not the bits beyond (unless it’s a long cross and it’s just a couple of bodies in the vicinity). Sometimes you’ve got to accept he has to make a percentages call and sometimes you are damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Pickford has flaws but is still a top keeper overall....

• Raymond @ 17, who picked those players in the first place? Who doesn’t replace said players who are not performing? Our very own Defensive Dave, that’s who. Given the players available, everyone can pretty much predict exactly who will be in the team every week. The man will never change...
  Annika Herbert in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• Nothing harsh about it - 100% west ham defender moved his hand to flick the ball so nothing unintentional about it - in fact the complete opposite - a direct movement by him, he knew what he was doing, you could see by his antics after it happened. " what me, I did nothing expression and gestures " Moyes still has a close affinity with the hammers and their supporters, the trophy he won in Europe with them was the greatest achievement as a manager. Right now he is the manager of Everton and should have come out and told it like it was all guns blazing... terrible decision - blatant penalty - var guy should be held accountable - fed with Everton not getting correct decisions etc etc Oh no, but he has the time to tell us all how good a player Tomás Soucek is. So I don't think I am scraping the barrell. ...
