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

[Nymzee]

We need some more height in midfield. Losing far too many headers in there.

 

[spectateur]

Shell shocked. Wtf is going on.

 

[navidson]

Just don't relegate us before we move stadium

That's pretty much the brief for any Everton manager between now and then

 

[PhilM]

Atrocious. Embarrassing. Disgraceful. Negligent? How that bag of cement up front stayed on the pitch as well is beyond belief.

 

[tommytowne]

A season defining performance and result.
Hang on ladies and gents it's going to get interesting.

 

[TheBigIguana]

lol lol
Come on, you were mean to say, “oh no he wasn’t,” then I say “oh yes he was,” etc!

Go look up the transfer thread when we signed him, I posted about it a ton, he was a crap pen merchant who was a 1 in 4 striker when he wasn't scoring pens and people remembered because he scored against us a few times. Which of course he's gone and done again so this thing will never stop now.

 

[Tel001]

is that the club's curse that the guy who didn't score a single goal goes to another club and makes a hatter against us

got the trifecta today .. ex player scores a hat trick after a 30 game baron spell , player scores his first ever goal for his club and Watford get their first ever win at goodison

The good news is unlike the Villa and West Ham defeats he can't really write this off and will have to adjust things. Not sure we can keep trying to get away with a midfield two, Rondon has to be done and please put Godfrey out of his misery whether this is down to Covid or him being crap he needs to sit.

My issue is I don't care if fans right defeats off due to injuries, but managers doing that shouldn't happen.

We lost last week because West Ham were better than us and that wouldn't have changed had we had DCL or Richarlison fit. Neither of them let us control football matches.

Benitez is proving he's just not been very good for a while. There's been no organisation to our defending all season bar the OT and Brighton games and those teams played right into our hands trying to play down the middle of us. Then without Doucoure we've been walked through in midfield today and set-pieces again absolutely horrendous.

 

[banno]

If only we had a squad to be able to drop players. I wouldn't let Godfrey, Digne, Keane, Allan and Davies near another game for a couple of months. Absolutely disastrous defending.
Josh King showed what he is capable of yet last season he got the odd 10 minutes here and there and our fans saying he was crap.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Sackable performance for FSW ?

This is as bad as I remember

 

[Jimishorts]

GTF le EV

 

[Verbal Kint]

Think this is the year we go down

No we won't.... We are bad but not that bad. Norwich and Burnley and and and

We might ya know

 

[Bungle]

Gordon and Gray off, Rondon left on and Iwobi on, ok then.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Win TEN minutes to go we only had to see the match out to win 2-1….. we end up beaten 2-5…….

Digne, Keane and Godfrey have not even looked like Sunday league players today. Midfield is non existent and Rondon is a terrible footballer.

really needed the 3 points today.

 

[Del-boy]

These conceded 5 last week.. embarrassing
