Match Thread Watford v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[NilSatisOptimum]

4 pts from two away games in 4 days with this Everton squad. Would have taken 2pts Sunday morning!

Woy finally gets his clean sheet.

Awobi man of the match, first half was better.

Now we have a must win against Brentford with a starting 11 who'll be leggy from no rotation whatsoever.

I said yesterday @ToffeeTim if you dont rotate and fail to win that puts us up against it.

Awful from Lampard.

 

[Parker]

oh and we can?

We don't need to.

That's my point.

Gordon was poor. He's been so good this season but he's definitely looking jaded. He's an important player.

He‘s only an important player if he’s playing well…..

 

[Acrobat]

Has zero input on Everton at all. Why people can use that as a "positive" when we're still not safe is bizarre.

Would have taken a wolves win all night long if it meant we got 3 points.

Me too. I'm clutching at straws to find positives from this shambles.

 

[ChesterBlue]

That result is a disaster with Palace who have absolutely smashed us twice, and Arsenal who will definitely beat us still to come

 

[R.Reddington]

An absolute gift of a fixture, a relegated team, lost 11 in a row at home, resting half their team…..and we didn’t take it.
A chance to put daylight, now real pressure on the Brentford game.

Yep .

Typical Everton!

 

[RomanReigns]

leeds beat these 3-0 last month

LEEDS

 

[Frenk]

Gordon was poor. He's been so good this season but he's definitely looking jaded. He's an important player.

I think it’s criminal to say any of these have been good this season.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

It says more about the players to me, lampard made the subs that were positive, DCL, Allan on for energy to press them.

It looked like the players were happy to not loose, and were not urgent enough, too many long spells in possession that ended up back with Pickford.

Agree though should have been 6 points from these last two games, this game has been very frustrating

Lampard set them up to not lose mate. I get it, if not condone it, until we get a feel for the game. Not changing shape at HT, 60 mins at the latest is cowardly from the manager.

 

[GRAEME1247]

If you’d had offered me 4 points from Leicester and Watford on Sunday morning I’d have torn your hand off.

Yes it’s been a great couple of weeks and a great couple of performances yet we’re more than capable of offering up the dross we have tonight.

That’s why we’re we are.

 

[banno]

enjoy your 0-0 against the worst team at home

Who beat us 5-2 at Goodison. Perspective mate we got a point away from home

 

[R.Reddington]

That result is a disaster with Palace who have absolutely smashed us twice, and Arsenal who will definitely beat us still to come

We better beat Brentford or I’m going into hiding.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Only bonus is Leeds lost both James and Raphina. Will probs need 4 points from next two games though

 

[Saaby]

I agree unfortunately, he has his moments but there is no consistency. Maybe Frank can teach him a thing or two.

He is still young and would love for him to turn into a player, however his final third delivery is atrocious, he can’t shoot, can’t really pass, and awful at set pieces. The only thing he has for him is pace and trickery.
