The England goalkeeper did not have much to do today but whatever he did, he acheived it minimal effort. Could do nothing to stop Coleman's equaliser in the first half
Started the game slowly, often being caught in possession, but improved as the game went on and managed to stop the threat of Pienaar
Lead the Hammers backline to great effect and was always on hand to recover any loose balls they found their way past.
Moved from left- back to centre back for this game and formed a strong partnership with Upson, despite conceding in the first half
Replaced Welshg international Gabbidon in the starting line-up but unfortunatly injury forced the left back off in the first half after a good opening to the game.
The youngster was lively down the right as he tries to cement a regular place in the hammers side. Used his pace and skill to great effect in the first half but at times his final ball let him down.
Was again at the heart of the West Ham midfield and was always looked to create something going forward. Almost got lucky in the first half when his chipped shot beat Tim Howard but flew just over the top of the bar.
The Croatian produced the overhead kick to set up the openign goal, but apart from that was quiet in the Hammers misfield and faded in the second half
Replaced Stanislas in the starting XI, and slotted in on the left hand side of midfield without making much impact.
Came on for Piquionne in the second half and alost scored the winner, only fort his shot slide just wide of Howard's right hand post.
Caused various problems for the Everton backline, working well with Obinna to open them up. Was also not afraid to work back to help the defence and stop any Everton attacks. Substituted in the second half.
Replaced the injured Ilunga in the first half and was at fault fro the Everton goal as he left Coleman unmarked to equalise for Everton
Brought on for the final five minutes, replacing Obinna, but lacked any real threat.
Came into the Hammers attack, replacing Carlton Cole, his pace particularly a threat to Everton. The Nigerian seemed to have a good partnership with Piqiuonne but was unable to find any real openings. Substituted in second half.
The American keeper had a few hairy moments in the first half, in particlular when a back pass almost fell short. Despite this, he was as realiable as ever and could have done nothing about Hibbert's own goal.
The stand in centre back started the game slowly and was immediately forced into an early mistake by running the ball out of play. However it got worse when he deflected a Kovac overhead kick past Howard to give West ham the lead. However picked up his performance in the second half.
The Everton captain is the Toffees own Mr reliable, and looked threatening in the second half as the away side pushed for victory.
The Frenchman was the rock at the back for Everton once again today. Stayed strong in the tackles and manged to hold of the threat of Piquionne on numerous occasions
Was tested early on with the pace and skill of West Ham youngster Sears, but as the game progressed, the left back looked dangerous going forward although his crosses were not met by the Everton attack.
Has made the right side of midfield his own, after his loan spell at Blackpool and managed to get on the scoresheet, side-footing the ball past Hammers keeper Green in the first half to level the scores
The Belgium international, was slugglish in possession throughout the first half, with many of his passes finding only West Ham colours. However in the second half, he provided soem stability in midfield as Everton looked for the winnign goal.
The Spanaird returned in Everton's midfield after suspensions but had one of his quieter days, with only a handful of impressive ball skilss worth noting. Substituted in second half.
The midfielder had a great chance in the first half to open the scoring for Everton, but he managed to slide the ball wide of Robert Green's right hand post. Substituted in second half
The South African used his pace and skill throughout to break down the Hammers defence. However was often caught offside or lost possession. Substituted in second half.
Turned into a make-shift striker once again for Everton, but was often left isolated. Despite this, the Australian produced the cross to set up Coleman to equalise
Replaced Arteta but had no time to create anything for the Everton attack
Came on in the dying minutes but made no real impact.
Came on for jack Rodwell but was left isolated up front with no real support from the Everton midfield
