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

[blue61]

Point won for me, after a very poor 90 minutes. We were woeful in the 2nd half and deserved to lose. Can't wait for Saturday

 

[TheBigIguana]

Cant help but feel this year will be defined by the " Pickford derby " ....that howler looks even bigger after the last 2 matches....

We would have one more point. If we don't have the mental strength to bounce back and that's what is producing these displays then it was going to happen at some point anyway so I think that's a little overboard that it is season defining.

Yet we beat both of those teams at home last season - Oh, and Huddersfield, and West Ham

Not only did we beat them, but we did it with a massively less talented squad - and under 2 of the most grotesquely fat-headed managers in our history

Both teams have improved too though

 

[trueblue84]

We clearly aren’t miles ahead of Watford

Worst we've played and we drew. A good team would've wiped the floor with us.

See ya Watford

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

I admire your optimism, but we're getting diddly squat there

....... Crack open the champagne RS-style, lads and ladesses

Why?

Nobody celebrated in this way. At the end of the game, everyone on the pitch looked relieved / embarrassed and the stands emptied really quickly..... The only reaction I saw was a general acknowledgment that this was not good enough!

 

[Frang]

Only Everton could have Rico, tosun AND DCL up top...

And still chuck Mina further forward as our striker..

 

[Death]

95th min equaliser from a whooper free kick. Hate to say this but hardly felt a thing.

 

[PhilRegan]

Shocking performance didn't deserve the point. Few players have become complacent and we are severely lacking quality in the final third, the defence also seems to have lost it's confidence as a whole. St and rb in January.

Both teams have improved too though

And how much did they spend?

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

We stole a point there lads. Disgusting showing.

But I guess a point's a point

 

[Zezti]

They dominated us for the early second half.
Silva late with subs.
Flukey own goal.
Pen miss.

We didn't deserve any less than a draw. Digne is quality.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Papers over the cracks. We were terrible. If there was any doubt that team is nowhere near top 6

I could still see us finishing above United. They put in just as many displays like we have the last couple of games. But the other 5 are totally out of reach this season.

 

[Milkman]

add Kevin friend to the list of absolute shocking referees, terrible all game

One of the worst I've seen all season. Just gave a free kick to anybody that fell over.
