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

I have 2 Upper Gwladys St tickets for Sat going spare. They are restricted view block GS5 row K if anybody looking

Watford aren't as bad as that result last week, this is a litmus test of where the team is (Despite it only being the 2nd match of the season).

Their back four are dreadful. Slow, lumbering carthorses. Quick incisive passing and good movement from our front three should see us destroy them

Agreed. And one reason why I would drop Siggy and play Bernard at 10 for this game.

Got a very, very bad feeling about us. Said it when the fixtures come out and everyone had us down for 6 wins in 6, I reckon we will win 2 of our first six maximum.

Not out of the realms. Our team will take time to bed in and the new players to come in. We might not see the best team for a few months.

We all know he won't drop Siggy.

If we play at high tempo - we will batter this lot

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Watford are miserable and putrid.

They are a stain on the mid-table competition - I would think we can easily get at them after the sirens and 'our' Z-cars! 2-0 to us with Siggy and Iwobi scoring.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

To be honest this is what I cam here looking for....Watford forums are brilliant!

In future instead of buying Doucouré can we put in a bid for their fans?

 

[Grinch]

Looking like Delph will be back in the starting XI. Now the question is, if we don't see Gomes back in training today, do we go with Gbamin in the middle for the physicality or put ole Tommy boy in the back? Would love to see Gbamin give another go. Could see him benefiting with Delph. Can play more of his CDM role.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Why can’t I vote for “comfortable win” and also “ten new threads started before 5:00” to complain about someone making a bad pass and therefore being the worst player to ever wear the shirt

 

[brieverton]

We are quite slow starters and this is my main concern for this game.

An early goal and the tension dissipates, if still level even after 30 minutes time flies by and the tetchiness increases.

They bullied us in the same fixture last year, so I think an early goal is imperative to give us impetus and stop their midfield getting a grip whilst we adjust and look weak there.

I think we might get a point only. We are really dependent on someone taking a chance when its offered, with our goalscoring problem.

Would love to see that

Keep the back 5 as it is but concerned there'll be two forced changes in midfield. Hopefully Delph is available but he shouldn't be risked if a doubt so could be Gbamin & Davies at CM or play Sigurdsson in a deeper role moving Bernard to 10 and give Iwobi his first start?
