Match Thread Everton v Watford. 8th Aug at 15.00.

[Rook]

I kind of remember Cleverely being incredibly awful platooned on the wing at Villa. Do we have to play him there?

 

[AlE]

Don't seem to have learned much from last season then....

Happy days

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Things really are just a shambles from top to bottom at Everton right now. Rotten to the core.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Que Naismith to come on second half and save the day.

@davek

Telling you

If they shut up shop it's the ideal match for him to find a yard of space..........

 

[Wat Tyler]

Cleverley really reminds me of Rodwell: he runs around a lot, and has mastered looking busy, all while not actually managing to do any pressing or tackling, and never tracking his man, as well as the fact they both love a nice sideway pass.

 

[Groucho]

We do have one that got 8 in this comp last season.

Oh, I didn't realise only league goals counted.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

There are some super talented players on that pitch, we should not be playing like this, it's Martinez, he aint got a Scooby Doo on how to get them playing good football.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Grim to watch, snore fest. Crowd won't tolerate this for much longer.

Naismith

Telling you. Get him in the box with Lukaku

 

[USABlue]

Barkley needed to pass there

 

[Zatara]

Im no fan of Barrys but wishing a career ending injury on someone is disgusting.

Barry's stealing a living as a footballer,career threatening injury would be nice.

 

[Tchnique]

Barkley has two on him and we had players standing watching.

The ball watching is awful

 

[Jxg]

It's getting to the stage where I'd rather go do the painting than watch Everton. It's the same thing every time.

 

[Tubey]

Well, this is familiar.

Nothing learned whatsoever.

 

[Big_nev]

Still think we will force a goal here. We are playing poorly but we deffo have a few gears to up, bit of sustained pressure and these will crack.
