Liverpool World's George Priestman reviews the goalless draw at the London Stadium.
Transcript
00:00Everton bounced back from their defeat against Southampton with a goalless draw against West Ham at the London Stadium over the weekend.
00:08Sean Dyche's side were good value for their point against the Hammers, producing a solid first half before showing plenty of resilience in the second to ensure they came away with a point.
00:18What was interesting from this game was his team selection.
00:21Gerard Brantwaite came back into the starting line-up and Everton kept a clean sheet and it's no coincidence that they did with him in the side as he is their best defender and having him in the team just makes him a far more difficult proposition for any team to beat.
00:36Plus Jesper Lindstrom started on the right wing in place of Jack Harrison.
00:41He was looking to get more involved in the overall play, looked more confident overall and has plenty more ability overall than someone like Harrison who has failed to set the world alight with zero goals and zero assists so far this season.
00:55Plus Dominic Cavallun once again started up top in place of Beto.
00:59Now fans have called on Dominic Cavallun to be removed from the starting line-up after his poor run of form that we've seen across the last few weeks.
01:07Given that Beto has been exciting off the bench and looked like a threat, fans are wondering why he hasn't been able to start a game yet given that Cavallun's form just isn't turning around.
01:16He only came on in the 75th minute and failed to make much of an impact given that Everton were up against it as West Ham tried to win the game late on.
01:24That brings us on to Jordan Pickford and he made an absolutely world class save late on in the game to ensure his side didn't lose.
01:31A brilliant reaction save tipped over the bar was just another example of just his brilliant reflexes that he's shown across his time at the club.
01:40He remains among the best goalkeepers in the Premier League and is the rightful man for England as the number one choice and with a save like that he proved it once again.
01:49Everton now sit two places and three points above the relegation zone but they know that they face a really tough run of games after the international break.
01:59They then face the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal in a four game run which is among one of the toughest runs across the whole of the Premier League.
02:08But for now they bounce back from their defeat against Southampton and are now looking to put together another run after the international break to move away from the relegation zone.
