Lucas Paqueta's attempt to energize the West Ham crowd falls flat as the team's lackluster performance continues. Everton takes advantage and silences the stadium.
After he lobbed the ball over the head of the limited Nathan Patterson in a rare moment of vague entertainment in a first half almost devoid of any notable interest, only to see Jarrod Bowen mis-kick his effort wide, Lucas Paqueta turned to the Hammers fans and raised his arms in the universal signal for ‘come on, make some noise FFS’.
It’s not ideal when that attacking trio are playing behind Michail Antonio, whose days as a starting striker in the Premier League should now really be long over. It’s certainly not ideal to see Paqueta – earmarked for the No.10 role at Manchester City by Pep Guardiola – out on the left, spending large swathes of the game in his own half.
By the time Moyes hauled off Antonio after 57 minutes of being completely neutralised by the impressive Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski – and belatedly pushed Paqueta central – Everton were ahead through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, showing that there is no better centre-forward in the bottom half of the Premier League when fit.
West Ham were then thankful to Alphonse Areola for denying the ever-dangerous Abdoulaye Doucoure, while the Hammers failed to add to a Kurt Zouma 15th-minute header that remained their only shot on target until the final few minutes. It was truly miserable fare.
