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

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Think we've been really poor progressing the ball from the back.
Look ok when we're on the ball in their half, but can't really get there

midfield is meh but the real culprits are the back four plus Pickford. Coleman is not getting forward at all. Digne a shadow of himself, convinced something’s wrong. Keane shocking pass right to a red shirt with no pressure. Pickford can be our weapon getting upfield with his distribution but pot more in the stands than on the head of our attackers.

Gordon is absolutely weak as piss.

 

[jazzy]

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

Yep vomit and diarrhea

 

[Verbal Kint]

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.

Agree on set pieces

Digne NO, he's just playing crap. Been in the Watford area a few times and hit the first man with crosses on at least 5 occasions. Benitez didn't tell him to give away a stupid free kick instead a standing up.

 

[lungo]

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

Bringing Gbamin is nonsense. Wont happen. Benitez isnt a kamikaze

 

[arbok]

Thought it was an entertaining first half, doesn’t mean we were good though. Everyone is so wasteful.

they just played liverpool v Watford highlights from last weekend on TV. Liverpool actually have players that can work out how to win on the pitch and Everton don’t.

Tosun Time baby

 

[Methuselah]

We are playing one of the worst teams in the division, at home, and we are struggling. Benitez has got some hard work to do during the half-time team talk. (Apart from replacing Rondon).

 

[Zatara]

Oh ffs here we go again.

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

David Ancelotti coached the defensive set up on set pieces. It was quality and has been stopped.

 

[jazzy]

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

Rondon hat trick ?

 

[Joey66]

Need a win COYB ..

Rondon offers nothing can't win a header can't hold the ball up zero goal threat looks knackered already

He kicked the post well though after messing up ...

 

[Blue Roo]

When Rondon presses, languidly looking, I genuinely think that might be his top speed.

 

[nsno-chris]

Let’s be honest, Watford defo had this as a possible 3 points

 

[arbok]

Richarlison on for Rondon please.

funny I think this is rondons best game and he barely touched it.

 

[banno]

Digne is turning gash. Poor defender but OK going forward and getting some crosses in. He seems to be playing at half speed.
Gordon has been OK not great just OK but showing signs of weakness in the body. Great effort though.
Davies apart from goal is not involved enough for me and Allan is looking lost.
Rondon is a non entity and feel only Townsend and Gray can get us out of this mess we are in.
I know Godfrey is having his troubles but I just wish he would relax a bit as there have been several times he has just lumped the ball out of play when unnecessary.
Watford playing the more composed footy
