Match Thread Everton v Watford - Carabao Cup 4th rd - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Imagine buying one of the most highly rated young strikers in the world from one of the best teams in the world and then playing him out of position at home vs Watford in the league cup

To be fair, either nobody wants to pass to him OR he’s not getting himself in spaces to receive the ball. Admittedly my stream had gone down twice so I may have missed a minute or two but I’ve only seen him with the ball twice - I’d be surprised if he hasn’t had the least touches of any player on the pitch in that half.

Rico is our most dangerous player and yet always finds himself in space. Can’t see Kean’s reputation preceding him that much that Watford would try and double up on him or mark him out the game - he’s got to do better.

There's just no movement whatsoever in that final third Without Bernard on the pitch, bambi Lewin with the movement of a traffic cone aswell up top

Might aswell mix it up and play rush keeper.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Mina injured is a massive blow. Our best defender by a country mile.

Mina, Bernard and Gbamin all out. Gomes and Delph seemingly always walking a fitness tightrope.

I'm very concerned.

When boring cancels boring out.

They look like exactly what they are, a bunch of clueless millionaires having a kick about in a local park...

1 shot on target for us in 45 mins at home against an appalling side.

He isn't a winger. He isn't getting the ball because he doesn't know where to go. Add in Coleman making ridiculous runs right on top of him and you have a recipe for him being completely out of the game.

No he is not . He picked up a knock a week ago and was rushed back into playing tonight when there was no need

Literally missed most of last season.

Keep seeing this but what have they actually done? They look as bad as us and it’s 80% a first team for them too.

80% is strong more like 60%.

 

[Kirkles]

Why we playing so slow and not moving for each other off the ball?

Don't think ive heard of 90% of their team Mike other than Gomes in goal who must be approaching 40 odd now
