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

[Misa]

I don't really understand the moaning on Rondon. First couple of games ya but he has been better since and not the total liability being shouted on here.

 

[lungo]

Gordon is absolutely weak as piss.

Plays like a schoolboy. He is decent on the ball but has a lot of growing up to do before he is on the required level.

 

[bullybeef]

C’mon blues let’s step it up.

 

[Lob]

Rondon off and Richy on up front for the full second half Benitez. We should not be struggling against this fodder and nothing less than 3 points is acceptable to me regardless of the injuries.

 

[summerisle]

Watching Everton since Martinez's first season is like gods punishment of Sisyphus.
Same old, same old cycle of never ending shiz.

Gbamin out with a boulder injury.

 

[BlueToff]

This has been the case all season though. And weirdly we can win without doing it and could be winning here without doing it had we not thrown away a goal not clearing a set play.

We can win by doing it, of course, but sometimes you have to actually out-football teams.

Doesn't mean you have to be Brazil 1970

Championship standard this. Its grim.
If you think this is decent football then can't help you amigo.

Poor quality but its been competitive which is what I like to see - either team can go on to win this one hopefully its us.

 

[BlueToff]

Oh ffs here we go again.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS.

Right?

I don't really understand the moaning on Rondon. First couple of games ya but he has been better since and not the total liability being shouted on here.

He’s the worst striker I’ve ever seen, he’s on par with Brett Angell and John Spencer

The Straq was a conference level striker but at least the opposition defenders knew there was someone there

 

[aglee]

We are playing one of the worst teams in the division, at home, and we are struggling. Benitez has got some hard work to do during the half-time team talk. (Apart from replacing Rondon).

Benitez needs to get his trud-polishing cloth out

 

[LeeCarsley]

these are so poor ffs we should be winning 8-1

 

[Tubey]

You can't be serious?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

noticed that myself
Tbf he prob has a prayer mat and an incense burner in the changing room. This is desperate but we’re completely decimated

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

 

[BlueToff]

Ignore the comment then.

My issue is it becomes a narrative among the fanbase and people use it as an excuse.

I just see a team incapable of controlling any spell of any football match no matter the opposition, and that isn't because of the injuries, and it worries me.

 

[Blue Roo]

I can't be arsed with 'oh the refs are against us'

We can't string 5 passes together, I'm more concerned by that

Gordon's still a pen though - and needed extra belief
