Ian Snodin: Rest won’t give Everton FC the advantage at West Ham United

IT was the perfect opportunity to carry on the feelgood factor from Manchester City, and there would have been an expectant full house at Goodison.[LNB]Instead it meant a frustrating start to the festive run, because the players trained and then were left without a game which is never nice when you've got in the frame of mind and shape for a match.[LNB]Instead West Ham, tonight's opponents, did play and got their own morale boost with an away win.[LNB]That will give them the edge.[LNB] I'd take that rather than a longer rest any day.[LNB]Avram Grant will ask his lads to keep going as they did against Fulham, and Everton are at risk of being caught cold.[LNB]David Moyes will hope to frustrate the Hammers for the first half hour or so, and then let the Upton Park fans get anxious and start to turn on the tram which they are known for doing.
