Match Thread Everton v Watford. 8th Aug at 15.00.

There's a snidey draw in this, bigtime. We tippy tap it around, Deeney scores from a punt which we fail to live with, then Naismith comes on and grabs a dodgy one.

Naa, we are going to get tonked 4 0 according to a record ban time Watford fan cos they have signed 2 players he has never seen play.

At present not looking forward to this one - scrappy draw against team we should beat (see last season)
all we need is for them to sign Attilio Lombardo now and our Saturday will be complete

Showing a good veneer of excitement and optimism but feeling sick really...

We're going to give it to these beauts good style mate, then Martinez is going to blow a wad of cash on some top quality players.

I remember all the Leicester fans last year, you genuinely would've thought Vardy was Messi.

My prediction is an ugly nervous frustrating win.

 

[Efcjake]

Not getting my hopes up before the match, Everton has disappointed me too much on the first day of the season in the past. The news that Deulofeu, Mirallas, Lukaku, and Stones are all questionable for this match has added to my nerves. I reckon we will get beat 2-1 if three of the four I named previously don't play.

 

[navidson]

Disappointing 1-1

Deeney - 36'
Osman - 82'

We are always struggling at the start of the season, but not this time. 2:0 to Everton.

I had a really nice dream too, last night... Everton did not make a hint of an appearance

...my veneer already bears a patina of expected disappointment...

Can we just get back to this please? Including the way that noone all season scores against us:

 

[Toffeelover]

Don't underestimate Watford. They will be fighting like hell to prove a point that they deserved promotion. Their players are not inexperienced.

Looking back at highlights from a few years ago against these, made me miss AJ. I really wish him and Beattie would have clicked.
