Nunos first outing for Hammers away at Everton.

2-1 Toffees

Gueye has a nice choice of leggings……………

West Ham's defence look dodgy.

They really don't like anyone running at them.

Or crosses..

Nuno out.

Nice one, Michael.

West Ham are pushing but unless Everton screw up I can't see them winning this one

Grealish is unplayable, Everton will score loads from set pieces this season

It's like a library in there.

Not like Goodison.

1-1
Bowen

Fancy not knowing that Bowen would cut inside and shoot.

Diouf for WH looks some player

Foster got sent off v Forest 2 seasons ago, for the exact same elbow that Mykolenko just got a yellow for

How is that a foul and a booking for winning the ball ? Refs are ruining the game .

Yet Paqueta would have you believe it was in his face. So similar to Foster’s red card.

Elbowing Paqueta is more deserving of a medal than a card. Cheat of the highest order.

A Moyes Vs Moyes game.

Very poor showing.

Happy with a point here, Everton unlikely to go down under Moyes but we need to keep them in range just in case.

That decision was absolutely inexcusable

I can forgive refs making genuine mistakes. But that's just a complete inability to understand basic football

Imagine selling your soul to whatever Hill Dickinson is. It's such a shame that this happened both for the club and the sponsor that has powered Everton towards the level of irrelevancy that they probably deserve these days.

Everton are in our mini league how shite is Beto and how much did one season wonder Dibling cost.Everton will struggle this year they have no goalscorer

However much they try to big up these new stadiums and say how they've been designed for optimal atmosphere, they never feel the same.
Spurs was the same, it looks fantastic but that big one tiered end they've built that was apparently inspired by Dortmund has been a bit of a damp squib.

Seems like Everton fans,not too happy with the new ground.Complaining about the light show,prices of pies, running out of hot dogs,and empty seats.Sound familiar?

It's an international law firm that was founded in Liverpool and is still headquartered in the city.

In terms of sponsorship it's much more fitting and a lot less dubious than others.

The booking would have been for the dissent afterwards I’d have thought. Still a terrible decision to award the free kick.

Can we lend you and Row X to the Everton owners to defend them?

Be a few less arguments on here for a short while

KDH not happy. And rightly so. But might get him in more trouble, sadly

Sadly, it wasn't for the dissent afterwards because he went straight to his pocket when the Everton players foot landed on his opponents foot, even though this is a common thing in a 50/50 challenge. The issue of the card led to the dissent and understandably so because Dewsbury-Hall will be suspended for the next game because he has picked up 5 cautions in 6 PL games.

This is a player who has played 215 matches at senior level as a competitive midfielder and has received 24 cautions and 1 dismissal before this season.
His booking against Liverpool was because he took a quick free kick which the referee didn't sanction from all accounts.
The game really is going to the dogs when so many players are being cautioned for incidents which occur and have a natural coming together. It is a contact sport, by all means get rid of the deliberate intent to injure opponens which some players definitely try to do. However, accept that two players challenging 50/50 will see one win fractionally ahead of the other and their feet have to go somewhere.

Then it’s an absolute rick of the highest order. Thanks for clearing it up.

Dewsbury-Hall's last two yellow cards have been downright ridiculous. That's not because of the way the game is going but because of the clear deterioration of the quality of referees we now have. Darren England, who I wouldn't give a non-league game to, and Sam Barrott, who made an arse of our game at Man U, are the two referees in question.

D-H has described the two decisions as mind boggling. David Moyes called the one against West Ham a shabby decision but he also questioned the level of refereeing in the Premier League and reckons all managers will be saying that right now.

I don't get it either. That was just a simple interception. The other player was late in and hurt himself, as a consequence. Nothing huge, just a shin tap.

This business of player gets ball, other player doesn't, so kicks first player's boot and hurts himself, is pure rubbish. Tough luck not a free kick to you because you kicked someone on the wrong place!

The days of identifying which are the good and bad refs seem to have gone. They are all bad. Granted not helped by the rules in some cases and the introduction of VAR. I don't think their ruling body and Howard Webb are helping.
