Match Thread Everton v Watford

[Ring master]

Started off quite well for 1st 20mins,with Davies,jags and Barkley who should have easily scored for me,having our only 3 chances really,we have gone back to when we get by the area of trying to walk around the defenders,could have conceeded 2 as well,after that early 20ish min decent start ,we havent really done anything since

Yeah. Lower table teams thrive in conditions like this. It's unfortunate for us because a few of those slips could have led to chances

I cannot recall the last time Everton won a PL game under such bad condition on the pitch.

Yesterday for 45 minutes i watched Ajax play this exact system and open up Lyon on nearly every attack from playing fast paced forward thinking football connecting the midfield and the wingers almost in unison.

Now im watching 11 players looking for the next sidewards pass, this is dullest, safest excuse of football watching that half yesterday has ruined me for what we could be playing with a more attack minded manager.

I'll bet you five English pounds they don't.

Are we talking Lbs or £'s....."

Rate Mirallas getting stuck in and sticking up for Davies when that little rat Janmatt went over to him - loves a scrap our Kev

Apart from that, pretty bland first half. Davies and Mirallas been our two best.

Can't pass to the Judas.

Haha get in

 

[jackyboy]

Also Baines is definitely done

 

[ijjysmith]

Wow.

And to top it off I'm watching it on stream seemingly from Thailand with Thai commentary.

But not a ping pong ball in sight.

You mean that match they got battered 3-1 in?

 

[ilikecheese]

331 minutes since we scored.

Same. We need to improve in these.

 

[peteblue]

We're going to batter them in the second half......

@davek couldn't agree more with you, I bet.

By battered you mean should have been 5 up by the time they collapsed in the 44th minute and conceded 2 in a minute then yes that one, scoreline only says so much if you don't watch the game.

They ripped Lyon apart numerous occasions just couldn't finish anything, we don't look like creating a clear cut chance to finish anything.

Quite absorbing for an end of season game. I still think we'll win.

Watford have big strong chaps up front but their defence is on the slow side.

One goal and they'll fold like........something foldable.

A folder?
