LONDON -- Three quick thoughts on West Ham 0-0 Everton at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
1. Stalemate little use to Everton
For West Ham and Slaven Bilic, Saturday's stalemate was a faltering step towards safety, but for Everton it was an afternoon of great disappointment. A point took them above Arsenal to climb into sixth, but the Gunners now have three games in hand. This was a blunt performance from Ronald Koeman's men, and the Dutchman's attempts to freshen up his sagging team with substitutes came to nothing.
Both managers made goalkeeping changes, with Darren Randolph and Joel Robles both dropped after recent mistakes, and Adrian and Maarten Stekelenburg playing in their stead.
