West Ham United vs Everton: Player Ratings

West Ham United 2 - 1 Everton

Another desperate loss in the quest for Europe. Just what is Moyes playing at?

Jordan Pickford - 5

West Ham had three shots on goal, so Pickford saved one by making himself big

Jake O'Brien - 6

Solid defending and did well a couple of times getting forward.

James Tarkowski - 6

Tried to lead as captain but was behind Soucek for his header from their corner.

Michael Keane - 6

Played his role but did not seem to influence the game much.

Vitalii Mykolenko - 6

Put his heart and soul into it but he's really just not good enough

Idrissa Gana Gueye - 7

His interventions are just brilliant -- and he didn't do any of his daft shots

James Garner - 5

Garner made a few mistakes and his set-piece deliveries were just not good enough

Dwight McNeil - 5

Didn't really get forward enough and was not smart enough to beat their defence.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - 7

Took his goal really well (really? -- He couldn't miss, surely!) and tried hard all game to get them on the front foot.

Iliman Ndiaye - 6

A classic exhibition where he flatters to deceive and achieves precisely nothing in terms of end product, but everybody loves his jinking runs.

Thierno Barry - 5

He put in a bit more effort this week and stayed on for the full 90+. Bicycle kick was a joke but his header was good; unlucky Soucek's head was in the way. But he was jumping in front of Soucek for their goal, and just did not get high enough.

Substitutes:

Tim Iroegbunam - 6

Very involved up and down the field after he came on, but should not be allowed to shoot at goal.

Tyrique George - 5

Given 20 minutes plus stoppage time to make an impact. Had his usual lashes at goal, wide of the target.

Charly Alcaraz - 7

Late sub, he was heavily involved after he came on, and instrumental in the move that led to Everton's goal. Should have been on a lot earlier.

David Moyes - 0

To lose a winnable game like this in the manner that we did, where he should have known everything about the opposition, is unthinkable. Still not using all his subs; still not playing a third of his squad.

Moyes obviously doesn't rate Alcaraz, which is a crime in itself because as soon as the lad steps on the pitch he looks to get us on the front foot.

Sick to death of the shite we have to witness at times.

Best player: Dewsbury-Hall, another goal and another impressive display.

Bill Whity 4 Posted 25/04/2026 at 17:39:02

Gana 5 at best lost ball and for three games 0n trot left lagging behind by attackers. Derek spot on

Chris Woods 5 Posted 25/04/2026 at 17:59:45

Seriously… gana 4 he’s a headless chicken, Barry 3 he could have put that header anywhere and headed it straight at Soucek

Tony Hughes 6 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:07:06

I'm sure Alcaraz doesn't rate Moyes as well

Darren Hind 7 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:08:26

I think your have over-rated MR Brightsides performance. Nil ????

How the fuck did he deserve that ?

Tony Hughes 8 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:14:24

Moyes is predictably Moyes, hey Flat Line Davey

Tony Hughes 9 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:38:42

I'm going to do a contravresial one now but I think alot of Blues vastly overate Garner.

Yes he gets about and makes last ditch tackles because he loses his man who gets past him and its a recovery tackle but he doesn't create much and he rarely shoots or rarely scores, maybe its just me but for the accolades he gets the actual end product ain't there. Tin hat on and by the way i'm fucked if I can spell contravresial

Tony Hughes 11 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:44:06

Agreed Martin it should be -1

Ian Bennett 12 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:44:44

Yeah, play Alcaraz the full 90. I mean his fitness is just off the scale after missing half a fucking season.

Thank fuck the arm chair experts arent in the dugout.

Tony Hughes 13 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:49:12

Yes Ian and play Barry up front because he's been fucking amazing all season with a great attitude.

Tony Hughes 14 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:54:39

And Ian the non armchair expert i.e Mr Moyes has just picked a team and coached us to a 2-1 defeat the one of the worse teams in the league

Tony Hughes 15 Posted 25/04/2026 at 18:56:11

Sort the fucking edit button out

Mark Murphy 16 Posted 25/04/2026 at 19:01:15

I’m with some good blues I’ve known for years in the Howling Hops after the game.

The unanimous feeling is fcuk off Moyes and take your keep it tight and hope we nick it football and have a fucking go!

West Ham were shite today and we should have battered them.

Fcuk off Moyes

I’m not changing my mind on this.

Fcuk off!

Ian Bennett 17 Posted 25/04/2026 at 19:14:00

No other senior striker in the squad that was fit. Of course he was playing Barry.

A 2-1 defeat that we lost in the last minute in a tight game. We lost as much as Moyes, as the keeper thst wont come for a cross, a captain that cant attack a ball, a centre forward that hit the bar, defenders that watch danger men and a officials thst don't know what hand ball is.

But yeah, Moyes out.

The pile on after a defeat is a joke. Theyre a group of average players. Smell the fucking coffee.

Tony Hughes 19 Posted 25/04/2026 at 19:24:19

Ian 100% yes smell the coffee. Why would anyone select Barry after last week's utter disgraceful performance. Do something different, think out of the box, earn you're fucking 100k a week, coach the team, promote the youth, encourage the youth.

Fucking basic flat line, by the numbers manager. But yeah 12ish beckons, enjoy the not quite best of test trophy.

Dave Abrahams 20 Posted 25/04/2026 at 19:28:08

Ian (12) I think Charly missed half the season or more because Moyes never picked him and when he was injured we were never told what the injury was!

Tony Hughes 21 Posted 25/04/2026 at 19:28:36

When we do well Moyes is great, when we lose its the players. Fella can't lose can he?
