Everton look like they have direction while West Ham merely look stagnant

Everton at least look like they have direction while West Ham merely look stagnantEverton and West Ham went into their game with just seven goals between them, but while Frank Lampard has a plan the Hammers seem out of ideas.It says something for how this season has gone for both clubs that Everton and West Ham went into their Premier League match at Goodison Park having scored almost 50 per cent fewer goals between them than bottom of the table Leicester City.

There was a lot of running around, a lot of solid tackling, and there were even occasional flashes of coordinated and fluid attacking play, but then a final ball would go awry, or a shot be too tame, or a sub-optimal decision made. Goalless at half-time in a match between two teams who’d scored seven goals and recorded one win between them – 1-0, of course – in their previous twelve games combined.

And if there was one player who best summed up the small but crucial differences between these two teams it was Alex Iwobi. Iwobi’s arrival at Goodison Park felt like a most Evertonesque signature; an under-achiever over almost 150 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, a third of them outside the Premier League.

Everton look very much as though their summer transfer activity has given them just about enough for relegation to not be a major concern. The arrivals of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski have given their defence a layer of assuredness that it didn’t always have last season, and, while losing Richarlison to Spurs andwas far from ideal, the arrival Neal Maupay has added a little more depth back to their attacking play.

All those new players and Moyes doesn’t use them. They looked very poor today, this will be a struggle of a season.
