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

[Igrok]

Old Everton finally back?

 

[andy4efc]

Allan and Davies are a horrible midfield partnership, gap miles apart between them Watford running off them at will

That’s the same every game though. We’ve little presence in the midfield.
We have one plan of countering quick and if that opportunity isn’t there then we are clueless.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

We're comfortable here if we can properly clear set plays. They've not had another shot in the box. Some quality in the final third and we win this going away.

Disagree. There is lack of intensity. Everything too slow and not showing enough.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very average performance. No control of the game even with the early goal. Our response to scoring was truly dreadful in true Everton form. We response badly to goals whether for or against.

This lot are poor. We havent been very good either but we should have enough to beat them in the second half.

Old Everton finally back?

Back last week

 

[gonetomorrow]

All I can say is it's end to end stuff.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Need Richarlison in second half. I’d get Gbamin on as well.

I get what your saying about Richarlison but Gbamin?? What is he

 

[Frenk]

Luca Digne is driving me crazy

He hasn’t been good for a while now, maybe he just isn’t good enough? Bring back Baines.

 

[Milkman]

We're crap in possession
We can't defend set-pieces
We are regularly getting caught wide open in midfield
Our full-backs aren't getting forward

It's crap, it's dreadful, and it's on the manager to sort out.

Oh ffs here we go again.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS.

 

[andy4efc]

Very average performance. No control of the game even with the early goal. Our response to scoring was truly dreadful in true Everton form. We response badly to goals whether for or against.

We were well in control until Digne gives away a pointless free kick in the corner.

like usual though we gift them confidence and go back to being shocking

 

[Parker]

I will say, passive football is tolerated when you are winning. That changes very quickly when you arent. Especially at Goodison.

 

[Zatara]

We're crap in possession
We can't defend set-pieces
We are regularly getting caught wide open in midfield
Our full-backs aren't getting forward

It's crap, it's dreadful, and it's on the manager to sort out.

Hes changed our defensive set pieces which were working under Ancelotti.

Hes asking Digne to stay back every game and cut out crosses

Its poor management.

 

[Verbal Kint]

We will win this... 3-1 maybe 3-2

 

[TheBigIguana]

Disagree. There is lack of intensity. Everything too slow and not showing enough.

I think we could certainly turn it up a little but we really aren't in bad shape
