  • It’s a totally different game playing out wide Mark, especially when you’re a 6foot 5inch, unit, and if he never had good concentration levels then I don’t believe O’Brien, could have played the position for so long the way he has done. He has switched off a few times, another was the goal that wolves scored (I think) but the biggest problem I have watching Everton, playing with O’Brien, at fullback, is that he often stays back, and he sometimes stays narrow, and this means that whoever plays in front of him has to do an incredible amount of running....
    Tony Abrahams in As Moyes returns to West Ham, is history repeating itself for old dog who won’t try new tricks?
  • If Moyes plays George or Charlie up front tomorrow I’ll eat my hat. You can put your house on the fact he’ll play Barry despite knowing he’s gonna offer nothing up top and just skulk around the pitch. C’mon Davey, show us your metal...
    Mark Ryan in Beto blow — Moyes confirms forward to miss West Ham clash
  • It didn’t, imo, matter about the other four Michael, because at the end of the day, the most important person is the player that is going to be receiving the ball, so you might say Jake, was unlucky, but I just don’t think he was clever enough. Pickford, had a radius of about twenty square yards, O’Brien, who was the obvious pass just ambled out wide, instead of getting himself back onside before breaking forward, in behind the Liverpool defence. When Si, mentioned reactive, my first thought was that a very well drilled team, also knows how and when, to be pro-active, and I could imagine a manager like Simeone, taking a player off for wasting such a great opportunity, which is what I still think Jake O’Brien, did, last Sunday. We will never know if it cost us the game but, he definitely wasted a massive opportunity, by being lazy, or by not being completely switched on, and casting my mind back to the thousands of Evertonians, who were going completely berserk, my own...

    John Collins in As Moyes returns to West Ham, is history repeating itself for old dog who won’t try new tricks?
  • Tony @, I'm still fuming at O'Brien getting caught offside for the first goal last week because he should have got back onside instead of being half asleep or was it lazy? Following an Everton attack, the ball had been cleared all the way back to Pickford, and our lot were ambling back, with not just Jake O'Brien but five other players all caught offside when he played the ball upfield. Jake was the unlucky one on the end of it but they were all guilty of not being a well-drilled team... one thing Moyes is supposed to be known for. ...
