HOWARD KENDALL: Everton’s welcome win at West Ham but still room for improvement
I was fortunate enough to see Everton's very welcome win at West Ham last weekend.[LNB]But while I was as relieved and as delighted as anyone to see three valuable points picked up, I wasn't totally satisfied.[LNB]The Blues simply have to tighten up at the back.[LNB]West Ham had far too many goalscoring opportunities for my liking, and the Blues were lucky that Carlton Cole's name was missing from the Hammers' teamsheet.[LNB]It's rare that a team will win back to back Premier League games at home in the same week, so I had no fears for Everton going to Upton Park.[LNB]But there's clearly still plenty of work to be done.[LNB]I thought that West Ham's midfielder Scott Parker was the undoubtedly man of the match.[LNB]He ran the game, and on that performance you could understand Everton's interest in signing him a couple of years ago.[LNB]He decided, instead, to join Newcastle, and while that was a blow for the Blues at the time, there are clearly still a few question marks about him.
