Irons fans hit out at Everton ‘tactics’

|

payetcHammers fans have been responding to the tactics adopted against us on Saturday at the end of a game which left Dimi Payet and Enner Valencia maimed.

Here’s some comments from the ClaretandHugh facebook group @https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/723914101076554/?notif_t=like

Toby Cole I thought it was sad and disgusting that Everton clearly had instructions to do our flair players. Had Payet stayed injury free on Saturday there was a great chance for us to take all 3 points. The assault on Enner was a red card all day long.

Rich Sprent The ref blows for the foul and Barry collects the ball, runs to the ref and remonstrates with him saying McFilth ‘won’ the ball.
For them it was an outstanding challenge: McFilth gets away with assault then, not long after, the injured Payet gives the ball away and they score#jobdone

Brian Neil Gay It was only a matter of time before a team nobbled Payet. Imagine if Slav had seen it real time?

Neil Abrey Less worried than normal as we have some depth. Still, I would prefer them to be available.
Chris Denning We have the strongest squad I have known, but we don’t have another Payet

    Might have to repeat this when everyone’s caught up with the latest and breaks the news but it will be interesting to see how we cope without Payet for the next 3 months

  • exsoulie says:

    Perhaps they should re brand everton as Donkey athleticio.

  • Tony gore says:

    Seems a little suspicious that two of our best players were taken out with dubious tackles that were unseen by officials???.

    Weak and typical FA fef !!!!
    Should exceed to the top of the list of first class referee!!!!
    I hope we say hello to Mc carthy when we meet again, same goes for Coleman as well.
    Dirty dirty slimebags who deserve no respect on the park!
    Moses was also attacked from behind as well when kone dived into his legs ,
    Also the pre match ********* from Martinez who without doubt is behind the dirty play to achieve results ,
    Its become a personal assault on us every time we meet now!!!
    They need payback, put lukaku and stones on the doctors bench and hope they suffer as we
    Might have to do !!!
    We can’t keep letting it go !!! Sometimes enough is enough !!!

    GBH On Payet the ref gave him no protection at all he should be banned

  • essexclarets says:

    Not as worried about Valencia as i am with Payet, we have managed without him mostly so far but Payet is the heart beat of the team & would be a massive loss. International break come at the best time for us. Two weeks to get them both fit again hopefully.

  • IronHammer says:

    Any news on DP and EV injuries so far? fingers crossed its not too serious

  • essexclarets says:

    Am i the only one who is getting seriously ****** off with ****** pop up adverts which appear every time i visit this site over the last week or so…???
    As for everton kicking everyone with any kind of flair they should face an FA charge but we all know there is FA chance of that happening & if Bilic dares to question any decision made by the offical he will be charged by the FA instead. Maybe this idiot needs to drop back down into the championship or lower for a couple of seasons & learn the game.
