Hammers share spoils but there’s little quality

Irons 1 Everton 1

By Hugh Southon

It wasn’t great and maybe the best aspect of it was that the Hammers remained unbeaten at the  London Stadium under David Moyes after taking one point from a possible previous 18 on our manor under Manuel Pelegrini .

It means we have scored five under the new boss and conceded one but in all honesty this was a game which was there for the taking against a very lack lustre Everton.

Unfortunate we showed nothing like enough quality to take what would have been a vital three points after Issa Diop’s 40th opener was equalised by Calvert-Lewin four minutes later.

To be fair for long periods the visitors showed even less!

However,we look a lot more organised under this manager although it would hardly be possible to remain at the same level as the Chilean but we still carry no real threat up front.

Seb Haller had one of his  his off days and although chances came his way he could make none of them count whils Manu Lanzini is still showing nothing like his best form.

Rober Snodgrass was his usual bundle of energy and although Declan Rice was guilty of errors in the middle of the park he usually made amends and is at least trying to get forward a lot more.

With Aston Villa managing a point at Brighton and Norwich beating Bournemouth the result made little to no difference to our position but one thing is for sure – we will need to be a lot better than this at Leicester on Wednesday evening.
