This is where the frustration within the Everton fanbase derives from. The approach to each and every game never seems to vary. We long for the day when we become competitive once more and play with a freedom that our rigid setup currently prohibits.

West Ham take on Everton on Saturday, Nov. 9 at the London Stadium, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. GMT local time, making it a 10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada and a 2 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Sunday morning.

I felt that it was important for everyone at Everton Football Club that we didn’t lose that game at West Ham though going into the international break but for me it was also an opportunity lost for Sean Dyche to try something different.
