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

Undeserved, but I'll take it

On the bright side, we'd've lost that last season

Baby steps

We didn't though - We came from 2 down to win!

Looks like that Pickford error rattled us a bit.

It was blatantly obvious at the time it would. It's everton dealing with a major set back. They are soft and there's a culture of wallowing in our own pity and acting like the world's against us.

When no player merits more then a 5, it’s surprising we didn’t lose the game. The only positive I can take from that performance is I don’t think we can possibly play any worse and we didn’t get beat.

 

[Azza]

Bloody hell. Ped has gone all back to the future.

Watford Newcastle Huddersfield and Westham 4 bottom half table clubswe've struggled against at home. We beat all 4 last season

Not good enough again apart from the pen foster didn't have todo a thing

The last two are more unacceptable than the first two. The team we put out against Huddersfield was very poor tbh and Holgate had a mare against West Ham which contributed to us losing that in a big way. Add in it was early on with a new manager and I'm willing to excuse those a bit more but we needed to show up tonight especially and did not do so.

 

[Parker]

We were absolutely awful. And that is the worst officiating performance I've seen in a LONG time.

For both teams.

 

[cromofo]

City and Spurs next.

Oh boy. At least it's in a tight timeframe so the pain will last briefly

 

[gonetomorrow]

Richarlison stayed lively to the end.

Great goal but very disappointing overall.

Watford closed us down brilliantly which meant our players had to be quick of thought....majority are not. Now the most criminal act was allowing them so much space and essentially time on the ball. I wish Zouma played in this one because unfortunately Mina and Keane allowed the strikers to drop off to receive the ball. I think Zoumas strength is getting in front of a striker and not allowing him time or space to turn and cause problems. We have to be mentally quicker on the ball when under pressure and I am afraid we lack in that department. We are wanting that extra second or 2 on the ball. Still think we need another Gomes type player in the middle as we are still getting overrun and dominated. Lucky for our 1st goal and I do not blame Coleman for the og (he was unlucky) and some of the calls for Pickford being at fault for the 2nd are silly. Dignes goal was a beaut although when I seen him step up I said FFS.

Ref was garbage and was conned constantly by Success, Siggy has to come off the pens and Rico has to hold the ball up better if playing up top and also stay strong as he is goes down too easily. We played awful but still got a point but it is obvious we are well away from the big boys and just have to keep building.

Sorry for multiple posts, forum has gone weird on my phone

Amazed we stole a point there

That Derby defeat has really screwed us up it seems

Just need to survive the next two games now, and then make the next four count

 

[bitter-no-better]

team looked a bit jaded from the start. some players need a rest. gomes being one. I would just freshen up against city with a few youngsters. need our better players fully fit over xmas period.

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.

I'd argue that we may well have had 5 more points had he not given them the winner last week.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

we got an offside goal, we got a lucky escape for not getting a pen against us and mina sent off, so I think we didn't even deserve the draw.

You're the second poster that's said they should have had a penalty. What for?

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

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.

Dunno big rom has admitted he needs to loose the beef lol. So utd do have the boss slotter we don't.

Another crap result
