Moyes had no say on most of transfers so should not be blamed for that. The reasons are clear what or who are responsible

We got a proper result and I'm not surprised everton are complaining

reubengane5200d ago

Rab, I think Pickford gave away a penalty that wasn't given to us so things evened themselves out.

daniel.owen199d ago

That Pickford lunge was almost identical to the one he did on Van Dijk when he ruptured his ACL a few years back

You have spoken! Where does this rank in Soucek's best EVER games for West Ham? 👀

jonathan.gorrie202d ago

Recency bias is a real thing but I can't remember a better game over the last few years?

daniel.owen200d ago

I agree with you. That clearance when he headed it onto the bar from point-blank range was insane

It was a pen, these players are giving 100 percent but need to be careful in situations like that. He was very luck

DISCUSS: Callum Wilson is NOT a starter for West Ham even despite his late goal vs Everton 👀

derekmitchell6hu200d ago

Good for coming off the bench. I Doubt it he could manage 90, mins. 20mins the most. He could be more useful with that amount of game time

stevesorrell511200d ago

Due to his injuries, I think he is a brilliant second half substitute, I would always bring him on at half time after the two clowns have run there legs off.

daniel.owen199d ago

Haha imagine Pablo's energy with Wilson's finishing. A genuine £50m striker there

somerscom200d ago

Wilson is a hugely experienced dependable striker perfect for the big impact in the last ten to twenty minutes. Many less experienced forwards would have lashed at that chance but he kept his head and played it spot on. If he can keep doing that for another five seasons we’re laughing 😜

tomlynsmith201d ago

Wilson is worth more than 10 - 15 minutes at the conclusion of a game. He should be given at least 30 minutes during the second half as he brings know how and experience.

jamesshearman23200d ago

100%! I don’t blame Nuno for not starting him but why not bring him on sooner? He’s a bigger goal threat than Taty or Pablo ⚽️

ray.baxterct1951201d ago

spot on

jonathan.gorrie201d ago

Yeah I do agree that he needs more minutes than he actually gets, even off the bench!

kwaylen201d ago

Wilson is only good for 45 mins he doesn’t close down defenders to stop counterattacks! I would play him when we need a result as he’s a poacher in the box and that’s where you need to leave him! Our midfield needs reinforcements at least two one combative midfielder and one playmaker who bursts forward into the opposition box.

daniel.owen200d ago

Yeah, if you think of those goals against Everton and Spurs alone, he's been worth his weight in gold. Not someone you'd start but what an option to have on the bench! Still one of the best finishers in the league

igrimshaw01202d ago

Wilson is not a starter at 34 years old, but he has a habit of making an impact on 60 minutes or so I think most of us groaned when we signed him and maybe he was a Sullivan signing, but no one can deny he's scored some very important goals for us

ray.baxterct1951202d ago

I must admit, I thought it was worth a try signing Wilson at the time.He has a good track record, and good experience, age is only an issue if your expected to chase down opponents.He is a fox in the box, my only issue is, he faces the wrong way sometimes at crosses and stands too close.His position for the goal was perfection,I loved it.

stevesorrell51202d ago

I would of loved to see Wilson on at half time with Bowen backing him up and Traore on the wing. The so called two strikers we have do seem to run around like headless chickens for most of the game so the switch at half time may have been a better option

ray.baxterct1951202d ago

I'm sorry, I have to agree with you Steve however, 30 mins may have been enough..How many of us are thinking the same way and does Paco have any say in choice of subs and tactics?

jonathan.gorrie202d ago

I feel strongly about this. Love Wilson, he's great - but starting him at this stage of his career is not the way to go. Super sub if ever I've seen one. 3/4 years ago, it's a different story.

chillout202d ago

He is a good guy to have on the bench

Open full discussion →

Does this man deserve to start or does he make a bigger impact off the bench?

chillout202d ago

jonathan.gorrie202d ago

I think bench to be honest. I get the desire to see him more often but he rarely completes full games anymore anyway

ray.baxterct1951202d ago

He certainly shouldn't be left on the bench until the 81st minute! It seemed like a panic move by Nuno to hope for the best.He was lucky Callum delivered, otherwise, the critics would have had a field day.It was a good team effort in the build up though.

Open full discussion →

Agree with our West Ham ratings? 🌟

stevesorrell51202d ago

Disasi 10 Mavropanos 10 Soucek 9

daniel.owen200d ago

What a spine we've got now in the middle, especially when you add in Fernandes. Mad to think we started the season with Aguerd, Kilman, JWP and Rodriguez

james.brooke202d ago

Hermansen been great recently

kwaylen203d ago

Bowen doesn’t get the credit he deserves! He’s like Declan rice he does his job and helps out others in the team as well ! West ham are lucky to have him playing for us!!! Thanks Jarod you are certainly appreciated mate COYI

jasonhammer203d ago

I wouldn’t compare him to Declan rice. He has much more integrity and loyalty

Did Mateus Fernandes get a lucky escape vs Everton?

tobycole1974198d ago

What about the 2 penalties we should have had also? Yes they should have had a penalty but Pickford should have seen red and a penalty to us too

jamesshearman23198d ago

I’m not sure about the Pickford challenge. Keepers are always taught to make themselves big aren’t they?

daniel.owen198d ago

100%, that was almost identical to the Pickford challenge which ruptured Van Dijk's ACL in 2020

martynpleasance198d ago

Looked like a definite penalty but then when you read all the many silly different variations of the law, it was 50.50 But I am appalled that nothing has been said about Picford on Taty, which not only was a clear penalty because he followed through and put his studs along his ankle but it was a definite red card.

jonathan.gorrie198d ago

I can't believe more wasn't made of that! Ridiculous 😂

jim.bradley49199d ago

must have X-Ray eyes then to see through the Everton player ..ball to hand no penalty

bw490410199d ago

Yrs it should have been a penalty, but it's not often we get the rub of the green where VAR is concerned

stevesorrell511200d ago

Defo pen, we have been blessed with to poor VAR decision

jonathan.gorrie198d ago

Nice to get one in our favour for once right 😂

tomlynsmith200d ago

Could’ve gone either way. We were fortunate. Had it been against us I would’ve wanted a penalty.

jasoncloutt200d ago

I have seen a picture where Fernandez is behind with his eyes closed and no possibility of being able to see the ball so I think it was the right decision but, having said that I would be very angry if we had not been given a penalty if it had been the other way around. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ex-refs-chief-says-everton-3

jamesshearman23198d ago

I don’t think he meant it at all but does intent matter? It was a clear and obvious handball so he got very very lucky I think. Hopefully the refs don’t even it up in another game 🤞

jasoncloutt200d ago

gordon1davison201d ago

Wow,a decision went our watt. We were lucky though

somerscom201d ago

Stonewall penalty all day long but nice to see a bad decision go our way for a change. COYI

daniel.owen200d ago

Haha yeah, I felt we should have had at least one pen at the other end anyway. Definitely for Pickford's lunge on Taty, and then I think it was Disasi who got a two-handed shove in the back

james.brooke202d ago

Probably a pen, but it’s one that I think every fan would be gutted to see go against them. No intent at all

superbro123202d ago

Fernandes touched the ball with his hand. Why didnt Everton get a cornerkick???

nealcrane1203d ago

It was a nailed on penalty, no doubt about it, but I’ll take any bit of luck we can get

jonathan.gorrie202d ago

Totally. To be fair to Matty, he's been class this season, he's allowed one 😂

kwaylen203d ago

They were both jostling for the ball and he got shoved that’s why his hand went towards the ball ! It was accidental as VAR deemed

randsholcombe203d ago

win some lose some .VAR is rarely with us so I'll Take it with pleasure

trilsbachandrew203d ago

Pena I reckon 👍❤️⚒️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧⚒️⚒️⚒️

jonathan.gorrie203d ago

Same, but thankfully it wasn't!

jakewhu203d ago

Probably, but we need that luck!

jonathan.gorrie203d ago

My heart was in my mouth!

brogan203d ago

If you are now allowed to punch the ball then correct decision 🤣

chillout202d ago

daniel.owen203d ago

Haha with the way handballs tend to be judged, I was stunned the ref didn't give the pen

daniel.owen203d ago

I have to admit, I do think it was a pen. Though we could have had one or two at the other end as well, particularly that push on Disasi. I reckon we also get a spot-kick against Pickford if the camera angle was better...

alantelfer56203d ago

Bit like the pen against forest. Areola was a genuine challenge for the ball. Picford was from a distance and late.

Both ends if the pitch, you can rely on the Big Czech

stevesorrell51202d ago

If he can repeat that form for the last four games then he would of won me and a lot of people over.

peterdustinbutler202d ago

I said before, it's time to build a statue of him. He is truly West Ham.

jonathan.gorrie201d ago

swhitecrossuk8202d ago

one of the best midfielders we have had for a while, always puts in a shift

jonathan.gorrie202d ago

lloydalexis6203d ago

Who mister west ham 😂😂

daniel.owen200d ago

Haha I only wish Coufal was still here!

jasonhammer203d ago

Soucek was the MOTM. don’t get me wrong. Bowen was brilliant with his assists- but being there and watching the match. Soucek was everywhere

daniel.owen200d ago

That clearance off the line is one of my favourite moments of the entire season already, when he headed it onto the bar

jo.hadland203d ago

Judging by those player ratings, looks like KWP has silenced his doubters too. Might as well just leave it to Nuno to do the team selection. 🙂

jo.hadland203d ago

Yes. He should never had had any doubters. He is cheerful, confident; takes penalty shootouts with gusto, and is brave and strong. Great in the air. A leader who was strong in the awful Autumn

jonathan.gorrie203d ago

Totally agree, he just keeps doing the business

trilsbachandrew203d ago

MOST DEFINITELY 🤬🫵❤️⚒️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧⚒️⚒️⚒️

jakewhu203d ago

Both Bowen and Soucek were great. David Moyes signings as well which makes it that bit sweeter!

reubengane5203d ago

Yes, very much so

daniel.owen203d ago

Moyes summed it up really well. Soucek's not the most technical but he is so, so important

jonathan.gorrie203d ago

Spurs just don't have a leader like that. He could be the difference

daniel.owen203d ago

I think that's the major difference between the two sides; we've got a real strong spine with some big, reliable personalities - Soucek, Disasi, Mavro, Bowen

daniel.owen203d ago

Incredible. Every manager ends up relying on Soucek for a very good reason

Open full discussion →

Who was YOUR MOTM vs Everton and why? 🎉🎉🎉

peelo118202d ago

One goal, Two saves on the line it has to be Tomas

jonathan.gorrie201d ago

Yeah a proper all round performance that, wasn't it?

stevesorrell51202d ago

The two centre backs again with Soucek a close 3rd. He was good in this game but nowhere to bedn seen against palace, he blows too hot and cold needs more consistency to be a top rated player like our two center backs

chrisbergin64202d ago

SOUCHEK, gave everything

westie1161202d ago

Gave everything..

pels39202d ago

Soucek by a mile. Led by example. His distribution was better than normal too. Simple and effective.

bw490410202d ago

Jarrod Bowen without his crossing there wouldn't be any goals scored

johnbsheffield202d ago

Tomas Soucek, such a vital player, but again Callum Wilson comes up with the winning goal! Superb!

ozthehammer202d ago

I would not listen to a word TONY West Ham hater Gale says; he criticises us at every opportunity.

jonathan.gorrie202d ago

Ha! What did you make of the game?

jfgilham202d ago

Tomas Soucek, just gives, gives, gives. The modern Billy Bonds. A goal, defended brilliantly to prevent two goals.

jonathan.gorrie202d ago

An absolutel legend of the Premier League era at least, right?

peterbaptiste1202d ago

Has to be Soucek. He scored a goal, seemed to be everywhere tidying up loose balls & got a couple of clearances too. Still think he should have been made captain

lloydalexis6203d ago

I suppose it has to be tomo👍🏾

kwaylen203d ago

Soucek is a warhorse he scores goals and defends our 18 yd box so well he would be a £100m player if he was five years younger and had a better engine!

trilsbachandrew203d ago

An absolutely enthralling game, unbelievable winning goal from Callum Wilson, we put the Spuds back in their place 🤣😂😂🤣❤️⚒️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧⚒️⚒️⚒️

Mavrapanos 10/10 as usual

jonathan.gorrie203d ago

Unreal, isn't he? What would we do without him?

Giving it to Soucek. One goal, two goalline clearances, and a 200th Premier League start

raiderfan343434203d ago

He was rock solid

jakewhu203d ago

Jarrod Bowen for sure top display again!

LATE DRAMA 😍😍😍 Give us your IMMEDIATE reaction to a huge win!

My heart can't take this 😂

ray.baxterct1951201d ago

Everyone is going on about the penalty shout.What about the thugs chopping Summerville every time he got the ball? I think two players were yellowed for it but then the (REF?) just let them carry on chopping away.

daniel.owen200d ago

The Pickford one on Castellanos was bizarre. I honestly think we didn't get a penalty because they couldn't find a good camera angle

debham5850202d ago

I must admit I didn't want Wilson at the club initially, but he has scored a couple of goals this season that may, just may, save us.

jonathan.gorrie201d ago

I don't think you're alone in having been underwhelmed but, yeah, he really could come up trumps. Reckon we're staying up?

stevesorrell51202d ago

That's what being a West Ham fan has been like all my life

jonathan.gorrie201d ago

The drama really is something else isn't it

ray.baxterct1951202d ago

Was it only me that thought the Spurs' goal was a bit offside? I kept replaying it and doing my own VAR, I thought it was tight but worth a shout.I feel it would have been if it was West Ham. Also what if-Kinsky-if only!! Wolves deserved something.

reubengane5202d ago

Too right ray, unless my TVs defected, I thought he was about a yard offside but NO var and it wasn't even discussed afterwards 😕😕

ray.baxterct1951202d ago

I'm a big fan of Callum Wilson, but I must admit I thought he was the wrong choice when he was brought on.I was shouting for Traore in the last 30mins.We were looking a bit tired and went defensive AGAIN.I was ecstatic when he popped up in the right place to get us the points.Nuno had more faith than me-sorry I wobbled.Kharma reigns!!

trilsbachandrew203d ago

Classic West Ham United,, class shone thru 👌❤️⚒️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧⚒️⚒️⚒️

alan.mayo51203d ago

The win came despite Nuno. He can’t claim any credit for it with his defensive tactics. Instead of trying for a second goal we sat back and invited Everton on. Everyone could see the equaliser coming except Nuno it seems. Also, why does he persist with the ineffective Pablo rather than giving Wilson and Traore more game time.

daniel.owen203d ago

Interestingly, Tony Gale said this on comms. Reminded me of those games in late-2025 when we used to chuck away points week after week

alaneveritt490203d ago

Agree nono not pushing for another goal nearly cost us and we were lucky not to have a penalty against us blaten gamd ball

daniel.owen203d ago

Incredible resilience to bounce back from the Everton equaliser. Such a strong spine to this team now

jakewhu203d ago

What a result. Always believe in Wilson!

jonathan.gorrie203d ago

What character! I thought Nuno had dropped the ball there 😂

ray.baxterct1951202d ago

I thought we needed a sub or two, my heart sank when Nuno brought Potts on.Nuno bottled AGAIN, when we clearly needed some power instead of sitting back.He does it every time, opponents have sussed his tactics and they know they can go for it.

chillout203d ago

Could have done with Wolves doing us a favour

jo.hadland199d ago

Maybe Nuno wants to hang safe for a guaranteed draw, up to 80 minutes, and then try to get a goal at the end, when everything goes desperate and manic.

jo.hadland199d ago

I think Nuno is aiming for possession; clean passing, tight discipline. I think he's going for players who understand how he wants them to play, and if these men lack a bit of something else, he's willing to forego it. I think he doesn't want to take a piece out of his jigsaw and have the whole thing not fit together or hang together. I think he's right

daniel.owen199d ago

Yeah, I agree with this. Hermansen being picked over Areola proves that, to me. I think Nuno believes if we keep possession better, that's the best way to avoid giving up chances to the opposition

stevesorrell51202d ago

Worried because of the front two.
