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

[ilikecheese]

We certainly didn't deserve anything so I'll happily take the point.

 

[when i score we riot]

Saved face with a beautiful goal. This is what happens when only parts of a team show up.

But also, let's remind ourselves that we actually were unlucky, alright?

 

[ForeverEverton]

Beautiful goal by Digne, but don't even care. 2-2 felt like 0-4.

Except we could be in the bottom half of the table by time we get battered by City and Spurs in 2 games time!

 

[Kantareller]

Got some kind of stench over this.

Can't wait for Saturday

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Fortunate to get a point. Substitutions were overwhelmingly pointless, roll on January.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Is it weird that I feel sorry for Watford.

 

[wainy]

Absolute [Poor language removed]

 

[Caolam]

I think the problem might be that teams like Newcastle and Watford don't know how good Everton are and don't realise that we are meant to beat them. Perhaps we should tell them we are going to be a top six ream.

 

[MACCA75]

Don't be daft. We are miles ahead of Watford and Newcastle. That's what makes the results so bad.

We clearly aren’t miles ahead of Watford

 

[lungo]

Even before he scored I'd decided on Digne as MoM. A class fullback with a Bainesesque free kick ability.

Watford was the better team throughout it has to be said though

Can he take pens?

 

[Saint Domingo]

That Everton team cost over £200m

The Watford team cost about £50m

I don't get it

Usmanov wouldn’t make a difference to us. We could have Messi and Ronaldo upfront and we’d still be pulling this sort of ‘Everton that’ nonsense all the time. We’re not a normal club, we’re an absolute parody. A travelling circus.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Sleepwalking again. Sad reality is so much to do as I see some veterans really looked tired and toothless. Happy for Digne as he stopped the unthinkable.

 

[Bebeto]

City and Spurs up next - time to hibernate until mid-Jan

Typical Everton...maybe expecting more from city and spurs than Newcastle and Watford...would not surprise me

 

[Joey66]

Of course not, but to take a positive, we got a point whilst crap.

It was always gonna take time to transform things so I’m not throwing a wobbler.

About time we scored last minute too.

We need to play DCL upfront for now as he can hold the ball up someting they had, and we never linked the midfield up like they did, and take Sig off pen duty - Rico is not a CF ......

 

[Sharpies volley]

Cmon lads be fair. Fantastic result against the might of Watford. They where superb tonight. If we can draw against these the sky's the limit. The only disappointment is we've conceded 2 goals from within the 6 yard box again. Never mind. Pickfords a great shot stopper.
