Much as fans loathe the McFred double pivot, the stats do show that when they play, the win percentage and expected goals is higher. That is why the gaffer keeps playing them when possible. Unfortunately Fred got bullied off the ball physically, again, and allowed Everton to counter with a goal. Could easily have been 2-0 the other way just moments before.

Yes imom, it could hv been 2-0 or 2-1 at the end, the nearest that almost went in the west ham goal was Cavani's header on target but was caught by their GK...all their other attempts at goal were way off target
...which was why none of their strikers scored despite many chances and attempts at goal...something must be wrong with those stats as evidenced by their many recent losses
