 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the Matreaction Everton 1, West Ham United nil, the Blues are off the mark in this year's Premier League, one our first game of the season in a hard four game against West Ham. It was always going to be a tough game against West Ham. Recently the games have been decided by the odd goal. They've done a double over us last season with by the odd goal and the year before both teams won at each other's ground by the odd goal. So it was always going to be a tough one this, we know what to expect from David Moyes' teams. Always difficult to beat West Ham, strong side even though he hadn't started the season brilliantly. And it was forever and it was more a case of just get the victory, we're going into an international break, get that monkey off our back to face win of the season and that's exactly how it turned out. The manager went with the team that I think most people would have picked. Is it a surprise, I don't know, disappointing news before the game that Dominic Calderloon wasn't available on the bench. He's obviously not fully ready to be involved in a matchday squad yet, but by the time we go to Southampton he should be up and running then. James Garner was in an evidence squad for the first time he was substituted and Garner started, the Dricia Garner guy started his first game in midfield at the expense of the unfortunate Tom Davis really. I think thought he played really well against Liverpool so he can count himself a little bit unfortunate to be not in the start on 11 today, but I think everybody would have said Garner should be in there with O'Nana and O'Woby. I thought West Ham started the game better than us, I don't think we started the game particularly well at all. I think the first 15-20 minutes they were a better side without creating anything. They had a lot of corners but didn't really do much and we didn't really do much either. I think both teams struggled in the final third to be perfectly honest. From our perspective when we got the ball we knocked it round quite nicely until the final third. There was a hesitancy to get shots away or get crosses into the box. It was only really Nathan Patterson that was putting balls into the penalty area earlier. We had an O'Nana header off a set piece which went wide. I don't think I'd be stretching it if I said it troubled West Ham but we had that that went wide. I don't really think we carved anything of note for West Ham to be concerned and I think at the other end they didn't either really. If you ask me at Begavitch, Marshall did his goal quite well. I think Connor Cody and James Tarkovsky defended really well. We got a half time with not really much at either end. It was more of a midfield battle which I thought was quite even as the game went on. I think come out for the second half of everything West Ham started really brightly in the opening couple of minutes again forcing corners and a couple of things fizzed across the box. But then we broke and scored a goal and it was a brilliant goal to be fair. A nice little pass and move, get a woby and he plays a ball first time into Neil Mawpai. It takes a touch, the ball sits up and he arrows a shot beyond keeper to give us the lead and get his first goal for Everton. Tremendous strike really and it was exactly what we needed. It kicked us on a level and the noise level went up but West Ham immediately broke and Antonio had a header which was comfortable for Begavitch but it just showed that they did carry that threat. Yarrabone is always a threat, Antonio was strong and we had to make sure that we were strong and stood up to that because they have got that real threat. The other end for us, Damari Gray played one right across the box which no-one was there to tap in. We had Alex a woby shot after a good play from him that he just pulled wide and had a couple of other near misses I'd say that without causing us to have loads of issues if we'd have made better choices we could have ended up putting the game to bed. Damari changed his Maxwell Corny came on, Sramac a Comon and Ben Rahman really pushed us back. Begavitch had to make a brilliant stop from Maxwell Corny with a tremendous left footed strike. Ben Rahman then hit the inside of the post and it went behind Begavitch, we certainly rode our luck on that one. We did have to defend and make sure that we were resolute. It was navy, it was edgy, we couldn't get ourselves in a position to kill the game off. We had corners and wasted them and we had to make sure we defended properly off West Ham's corners and there was a couple of scary moments where the ball seemed to be bobbling around the six yard box but listen we saw that out. There was one huge moment in the game and it was a ball forward which I thought Connor Cody was going to deal with and I don't know whether he jumped a little bit too early but he edited it on the way down and it got cornering and as it the ball banters up I'd just seen it again. It's an unbelievable towing from Nathan Patterson because he's about to just slot it beyond Begavitch and Patterson touches it away from him. He goes beyond Begavitch and he can't recover and he ends up sliding the ball into the side net and that was a huge moment and potentially a match win and challenge from Patterson. It really is, you see it again, it just takes it off corneas, it looks like he's set a level. We end up grinding the win out, it was a big, big win. It wasn't a day for flowing football. I think both teams will look back and go. He didn't really play very well either of us. We've won the possession which is amazing for Everton. Westam had double the shots we did so I think both teams can improve in areas without a shadow but for us it's a huge three-point. I'm absolutely delighted with it. From an Everton perspective it's six games unbeaten now, it's back to back clean sheets. I think we're up to 13th in the league so like I said it gives us that, it gets rid of that story that we haven't won. I think we're building something. We need to be better in the final third, we certainly do. There's no question about that. I think if we're looking for disappointments today, I think Anthony Gordon was offy a little bit. He just looked knackered. He just wasn't in the game enough. I think our front three have got to do much better but we've ended up, there was a marked improvement in the second half from Damari, Graean, obviously from Neil Maupai, you've got the winner. So I think there the areas, we've got to tighten up and I think getting down back in the mix as well. We'll make a big difference. I think Alex will be good again, Ghana is good on his first full start as well. But a two centre backs I thought were excellent for us and I'm begging it was solid so all in all a good days were three big points and we can enjoy this now for the next fortnight and then hopefully by the time we go to Southampton I'll have Jordan Pickford back and Dominic Calvertloom back in the squad to strengthen it even further. But a huge, huge win today and three massive points so there you go. It's a tough one this because I don't think anyone massively stood out for us. I thought Nathan Patterson was good again, solid again. But I'm going to give it to Connor Cody, captain for the day and I thought in generally Marshall the defence really well and stopped Antonio really having anything and Samakha didn't do much either so I'm going to give it to him but I'm sure people will give me six other ones because it wasn't a day where one was heading shoulders above everybody else but there was a few real solid performance as a will be again was very good. But yeah, I'm going to go for Connor Cody's mind on the match. Right, that's it from me. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
