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

[Stephen Gibson]

Ha Ha Watford their greatest achievement was losing to us in the 84 FA Cup Final.

I would say there best achievement is having the ultimate last minute goal clip when Anthony Knockhart dived in the playoff to get a pen which was double saved, played up field then scored by Deeney. That clip is forced upon my eyes on a weekly basis.

Hope Richy scores & bird dances in the Watford end

Be great if the crowd is actually up for this (and we're not shooting towards the Park End in the second half again)... it's a must win with a good narrative behind it and it's under the lights at Goodison

They are a tougher prospect than Newcastle and we should have lost that game. Doesn't bode well this. A draw seems like the best we can hope for.

That's not right though is it. A draw the best we can hope for.. Really..
If we play well we will win.

Think I’m going to back us to break our duck and score from a corner tonight, Yerry Mina first scorer, fiver on if he starts.

 

[Ducans elbow]

I’d be tempted to give CL a run up front

This is like a cup final for the mutants...and sadly, I cannot see us having the energy to match their febrility.

Someone in work (in the US) just asked me "where is Watford anyway - is it a real place?" Sums it all up.........
After our flukey defeat to the RS and our moral defeat to the Barcodes I am very apprehensive about tonight. They are [Poor language removed] but we seem keen to let [Poor language removed] shine recently!

Until going through this thread today I had forgotten about what happened to Watford last season.

Shows how unimportant they are.

Hopefully we can smash them this evening, put them back in their place again. If we don't win it'll be a really poor result as they're utter tosh.

I don’t actually think they are that bad a team to be fair and they still have some very effective players. they are miles better than the barcodes as a team, so I think we do have to be at our best to deal with them. However, with any luck they have been slaughtering Richardson and Silva on twitter etc. So they will have the hump with them and want to put them to the sword. I want Mina or Keane to ‘smash’ Deeney as an act of solidarity for young Richarlison though!

Rewatching the highlights of the last game, we were actually pretty lucky to come away with a point. We didn’t create a single chance in that second half whilst they probably should’ve bagged one of their two clear chances, very poor.

Must do a hell of a lot better in the final third tonight.

Highlights can do that sometimes, there's no way we were lucky to get a point.

We are very philanthropic when it comes to polishing turds!
