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

[Blues Harp]

Not keen on Monday night games, but I think its important that we give a good performance and the crowd get behind the players as a result, in order to counter the mini "feel bad" factor of the past week. An early goal would be nice but we have to be clinical in finishing, as loads on here have pointed out. But of a test for Silva to raise spirits and continue with the solid start.....going for a 2-1 win with Siggi and Gomes scoring.....COYB

Think the striker Richarlison/Bernard/Striker issue is one which will rumble on till next summer unfortunately.

For me, Rich isn’t a striker and never will be. Bernard has been tidy, but completely falls to pieces at the exact wrong moment, often slipping. Plenty of time for him to come good though, clearly talented. Tosun has been underwhelming but wasn’t actually playing that badly before he was dropped.

Tonight I’d like to see Richarlison on the left, Lookman on the right, and give DCL a go up top.

Smash these lads. But likely end up a frustrating draw.

An easy 3-0 win tonight with at least one from Richy.

 

[Lob]

I hope that we give these a proper good walloping tonight. We owe them one after the shenanigans from them the past year. Bring a few bags too as there might be some free rubber snakes flying around which would make nice xmas presents.

Deulufeu whatshisname will play a blinder tonight.

Same team as the Derby. None of this messing around with Tosun or Lookman. Marco needs to revert back to his favoured team and not listen to the clueless elements of our fanbase who hate Walcott and act like Lookman and Tosun are world beaters.

Don't think anyone actually "hates" Walcott. Is "hate" a substitute word for "don't think he is good enough"?

Oh bless them, Watford fans are adorable. This is such a massive occasion for them and the club in general, they're even bringing a mini bus full (well half full) of fans for the game and they really want make a day of it.

They're so desperate to be somewhat relevant and attempt to create a rivalry with a club that's so far out of their league that we might as well be on another stratosphere that they'll play this game faux outrage knowing full well that their entire argument is a joke, much like their little is in general really.

Looking forward to the game tonight and win, lose or draw i hope the Watford fans have a wonderful day out that'll remember forever, the little lambs.

 

[leslad]

got some tough games coming up so could do with all three points tonight

id go all out attack to put the game to bed as fast as possible

 

[Blue Juice]

Would love a last minute winner just in time for Silva to throw himself on the ground and slither around while the bench showers him in cash

 

[Saint Domingo]

Pressure's gone now after dropping points over last two games, so the bottler personality of the club shouldn't be as much of a factor now and we should pick up a win here.

Whenever we get in a position where a win will put us in a really advantageous position, the club bottles it as sure as night follows day.

Completely true making tonight’s game an utter irrelevance. We all expect a win, if we get it we all know deep down we’ll lose the ones that matter, if we don’t get the win it will just be infuriating. We’ll end the season a handful of points outside the top 6 knowing full well we could easily be in it.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Got a really bad feeling about this game.

Hopefully we smash these off the park. (Would happily settle for 1-0 though)

Remember being on the tube with my dad going to the '84 final. Watford fan shared his hip flask with my dad, and said "it's great just to be in an FA Cup Final". Even though I was only 13 I remember thinking "stuff that, I'll be gutted if we don't win". Sums them up really. Lovely club, know their limitations.
