da bet sport： West Ham started the season in good form but there is danger of that going to waste after succumbing to their second defeat in as many games away at Everton on Saturday.
da betsson： Manuel Pellegrini’s side were far from their fluid best and struggled to get going throughout but despite that both players and fans alike will feel aggrieved not to have taken something from the match.
Bernard’s opening goal for the Toffees was one that could have easily been avoided, with an attempted offside trap failing before Roberto failed to snuff out the Brazilian’s strike, which somehow sneaked under him from the byline.
The game was tight after that moment, though the home side did manage more shots, with the likes of Lanzini and Anderson coming under fire for their lack of contribution to the Hammers in attack and defence.

However, but for a brilliant combination of a Yerry Mina block and a Jordan Pickford save, West Ham would have managed an equaliser, and if Angelo Ogbonna’s effort had found the net it could have been a different game.
Their frustration is therefore understandable, and best exemplified through Declan Rice’s expression mid-way through the match.
It is a familiar feeling for Hammers’ fans at Goodison Park, having only won four times there in the Premier League era, but this one is likely more frustrating than most considering Everton’s poor run of form.
For Pellegrini, it is back to the drawing board, with the issue of how to get the most out of Sebastien Haller the most pertinent problem currently, and he will look to the next two games – home fixtures against Sheffield United and Newcastle – as an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways.
Should they do so, West Ham could find themselves in contention to battle for European qualification, and it will remove the feeling Rice was experiencing on Saturday.
