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

[The Equaliser]

Poor, poor and poor again.

Is Moses playing for Watford because whenever they attack our defence parts like the Red Sea ?

Luckily we have 3 easier games up next to turn it around.

Oh..

Boooos already, fully deserved for our clown of a manager. That team sheet was a slap in the face for everyone who renewed their ST after last season. Howard not replaced, Barry not replaced, three defensive mids in the side at home. The man is a joke. We might turn this game around but we will do nothing this season.

No movement
No creativity
No urgency
No service
No idea

Booed at half time, first game of a season. Martinez is a dead man walking for me. Fans have no faith in him, and this has been same old same old.

Players head can go down when the fans boo them, its make them nervous and to scared to try anything, our fans are pathetic

We expected a change, he said he feels ready for the season, he goes out and plays the EXACT same way as he has in the dreadful circus of a season we had last year.

Phenomenal.

Even more phenomenal when he said last year that it was because of the lack of time to prepare that we played crap. Turns out, it was just us being crap in general, as we actually started last season looking 10 times better than we are now. Absolute "own goal" on his side when he said that.

Got to take Barry or McCarthy off and bring Osman or Naismith on. Watford ahead and frankly they deserve to be. Encouraging from Barkley, currently our only threat.

 

[KevMirallas]

Normally boos at half time on opening day would be meltish behaviour, but what else can they do? That was heartless and insipid. No faith at all they can turn it around.

The players???

No mate. Clear what the fans issue was there - the players just happened to be there; they're booing the utilisation of those players on the pitch and the philosophy.

Ronnie Goodlass fuming on Merseyside.

 

[SNova]

We'll win this.

Barry played well and has done for a while now. Don't be a ted.

The teamsheet wasn't bad, the problem is the tactics. Same old tippy tappy dross.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Its always tough playing one of the worst teams in the premiership.

 

[Garrick]

I actually fell asleep for the last 5 minutes there

The brightside of that half is how confortable Galloway looks at leftback.

Looks like another gem of a young defender.

No width to beat this defence need to get around the back Coleman when in with a chance has ignored this , also Clevely not a left winger MaCarthy too deep a ponderous performance, same old same old, but 2 Nd half we have to speed it up and create a chance one RB effort in 45 mins!
