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

Should have lost to Chelsea and Leicester. We didn't.

We didn't win because we are afraid to lose. Rightly so, given where we are in the league.

We didn’t win because we have no quality up front. No end product, no consistency.

 

[PhilM]

How any of our fans are happy with that is madness. We are in a relegation battle and that was the 3 easiest points of the season right their on a plate. Most of their team was out, and the 11 on the pitch looked like they couldn’t even be bothered and we done nothing. No urgency, no effort, no desire, just shameful.

I don’t think anyone is happy with it so to speak, yet the point still stands that we’re in a better position now than we were a few hours ago.

It’s far from ideal although not a failure.

We didnt win because there is a difference in digging in like chelsea and leicester(keeper motm in both games) to attacking a poor side. But the reality is we are a poor side just as much. If we get over the line and stay up the recruitment will have to be bang on because we cant have a full season hoping the keeper pulls of worldys as we dig in.

We still had chances to score and couldn't take them. Richarlison and gray both should do much better. If we take one of those, its a totally different outlook.

We dont score enough of our chances. Our finishing is average at best.

 

[TheNinja]

It does.

But we all saw this coming a mile off didn’t we.

Oh of course, we've seen it all season. We're just not consistent enough with our performances. Consistently poor away mind... Jekyll and Hyde team.

 

[matty1878]

Very poor but it’s 4 points from 2 away games and 11 points from our last 15

Results go our way Sunday and we’ll be safe

are all the games sunday?

The ones that matter to us yes

Also at no point did the formation hold us back tonight. Simply the lack of urgency and lack of quality in the final third. Chances were there. End product fr everyone was not.

Iwobi the only one who has something about him in the final 3rd at the moment.

 

[Debunkology]

A lot was bad decision making in the final 3rd. We had like 14 shots but only 3 on target

The shooting infront of goal was atrocious. That was the frustrating part for me. No one wanted to put their foot in it. Ive seen 10 year olds hit harder shots. On another day we'd have scored and it would have been great. But we didnt, so football fans being fickle. We are now a disgrace

 

[billyblue80]

I actually thought this was a game where Alli could have made an impact off the bench, the lack of any creative spark was alarming.

Agree was surprised he didn't freshen it up from the start tbh this was similar to other games except Watford sit in unlike the teams we played recently and we had no cutting edge at all

It was a disgrace. Taking things for granted is exactly the wrong attitude to have. We should of beat them tonight.

 

[Fansince1988]

The task is simple we need to be 3 point head of Leeds before the final round of games, 2 home games coming up against 2 teams that are safe and have very little to play for, we just need to get it done ASAP.

 

[matty1878]

The ones that matter to us yes

we’re on sky to ffs my hearts guna explode you know with all this

That's pretty much it. Until last week, we were down. We've ground out points. It might be enough, it might not be. But losing games at this point in the season is devastating.
