Match Thread Watford 2-3 Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Bizarre to bench Bernard given he’s our most creative player, but there you have it.

 

[blueconverse]

Gordon back out in the cold but blocked his loan to Celtic. Waste

 

[Zezti]

No Davies, Martina or Niasse even on the bench. Nice.

 

[havrey0123]

Nice to see the wobe back in action

 

[RomanReigns]

So disrespectful to Bernard

 

[Blue Juice]

What is it that people see in Sigurdssons performances/ general persona that makes them think he's fit to be captain whenever he's on the pitch?

 

[Zeitgeist]

Bernard not playing is odd, but oh well COYB

 

[BlueStevie35]

So disrespectful to Bernard

How? It’s a squad game plus Watford will likely go for the kick lumps approach which would have seen him go off at some point anyway

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

Bernard should always start ahead of Iwobi.

 

[Davidoff]

Dropping Bernard is a strange one. If Walcott had a modicum of composure he’d be excellent

 

[TheBigIguana]

Gordon back out in the cold but blocked his loan to Celtic. Waste

He's played 55 minutes since December 9th but people are telling me it is ok to stall out his development for half a year and that he can make it to the top level by training and not playing matches.

So all is fine.

 

[PeregrineT]

What I get: Kean being benched for Richy. Great last game, but you have to play Richy and DCL with their form.

What I don't get: Iwobi replacing Bernard rather than Walcott

 

[TheBigIguana]

So disrespectful to Bernard

Why?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Something deffo happened with Bernard in the Newcastle game, Ancelotti was having words with him on the touchline, then hooked, now dropped.

Its why Everton Soares will be signed and playing out on the left in the summer imo - dont think Ancelotti rates either our LW's

Makes no sense to me at all. Bernard has been an absolute star in the last couple of games. Iwobi has been a disappointment for much of the season.
