• (1) James Garner's form has worryingly slipped.(2) I relearned again (and again and again) that Moyes lacks courage and creativity when it comes to selection: Barry.(3) I relearned again (and again and again) that Barry is shite.(4) I relearned again (and again and again) that Tarkowski is a twat in pushing the blame onto others: he and Barry allowed an admittedly tall fella from a standing jump to score and then Tarkowski turned on Pickford.(5) O'Brien is a liability at right back; Patterson should have started(6) Gana Gueye remains important for us(7) Keane has been our best centre-half this season(8) I relearned again (and again and again) that McNeil is nowhere near what he once possibly was and should not start for us again before he gets sold in the summer(9) I learned to be very worried about Ndiaye. He tends to coast and do some nice things and does not seem to win too many dribbles but he looks our best player and I think that he will not be with us w...
  Paul Griffiths in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• Moyes has done a brilliant job stabilising this football club. For that I’m very grateful. What I would like to see though is some bollocks from the manager. Just have a go, Dave! Fortune favours the brave. Nothing to lose now. COYB...

  Derek Thomas in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• I agree with Patric; if the outfield players do their jobs as they should be done then the ball doesn’t get to Soucek and Bowen doesn’t have an uncontested header. The keeper’s preserve is the six yard box that lies within the posts, not the bits beyond (unless it’s a long cross and it’s just a couple of bodies in the vicinity).

  Brendan McLaughlin in Everton chalk up another loss in their rapidly crumbling quest for Europe
