Match Thread Watford v Everton Sat 24th Feb 17:30

How we got away with only the one goal against given at least ten sloppy defensive passes.

The players want shut of the manager. Simply this.

Exactly. His best idea is to say to them "alright lads about 5 of you run to the corner and Ashley you smash it in their general direction".

Thats what a week in dubai has resulted in. any free kick in our half. push keane into the corner and ashley hoof it 80 yds downfield. Could have sorted that out in 5 minutes down by the swings in the local park.

..i’m certainly in that group. The challenge was always to take the team forward after he ensured safety.

Are we actually safe yet?

 

[streeky]

He plays not to lose rather than win.

He's a stain on our club and shame on those who put him in charge. Clowns and cretins the lot of them.

A gravy stain

I'm all for free speech but anyone defending this fraudulent arrogant fool should be banned from GOT and Goodison park indefinitely.

 

[Eggs]

Ban!

..Okeedokee, I accept a ban for voicing an opinion I still believe to be right.

If feels like the club has just given up in so many ways.

Comment of the day

Oh well beaten again. We are not a team and have a manager that is anti-football. Too many wasters in that team. Davies shouldn't even be playing he is that bad. The whole back 4 are Championship standard players. Our midfield is bypassed majority of the time and when we do try to play through the midfield we haven't the type of player with a killer pass and we are too static (don't want the ball). The biggest killing points for me is lack of movement, passion and nous. This is one of the poorest teams I have seen at Everton for many a year...they play like a bunch of strangers. We need more attack minded players on the pitch...Vlasic in a central position. We are in a mess but not according to Allardyce.

Not sure it's the lack of movement per se, looks to me they are on such a tight leash they can't generate the movement as they are immediately barked at by big or little sam to get back in defensive shape. Even when we have the ball.

Money well spent that jolly in Abu Dhabi or wherever they were, eh? At least the bosses and Walshy got a nice holiday out of it.

Actually thought we did Ok for the 1st 70 minutes.
Had as much threat as they did, both lacking quality final ball and as likely to score as each other.
You'd take that away against a team roughly as good as you (sigh).
Last 20 we dropped deeper, invited them on to us trying to protect a point and deserved the loss for that.

You'r right more often than anyone else on this forum but you're 1 million miles off regarding Allardyce no offence.

You always talk about threat yet you've backed a manager who systematically removes the threat of any club he's at.

 

[efcjames]

It's not even the result I'm arsed about. It's the fact we got utterly ripped apart when Watford made a slight change in tactics and we did nothing to counter it.

 

[Ring master]

No doubt Deeney will score seems as hes probably lucky to be playing in this match, after getting away with a ban for his celebration v chelsea lol

Should have put my life savings on it as we are so predictable,as our subs are,as is sam always acting as though a 0-0 is a win,deeneys 1st goal in open for 27 games,only everton

We were not in the bottom three Unsworth put in our best Prem game of the season - pure panic to go crawling back to that fraud of a manager - Steve Walsh needs sacking too!

 

[ADT]

Why do we get all positive before these away games? Disappointed every time
