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

[3rd Generation]

It's games like this were you are just constantly reminded how bad of a footballing side we've managed to build.

Everyone involved over the last 6/7 years behind the scenes has failed this club horrifically to the point where we can't play attacking football against any side in the league home or away.

This

the inability of our players to string a couple of forward passes together or our horrendous injurie record isn’t on Rafael or Carlo for that matter it’s on the back room staff from youth to u 23 and those responsible fo recruitment since Moshiri gave us money

Bit highbrow this, had to Google it

Apologies, have a gif of a cat watching Rondon.

Horrendous

Last season Keane was on form, Godfrey wasn't wrecked with COVID and Digne wasn't our worst player.

We also spent good portions of last season playing 3-4 CB's and had DCL & Richarlison on the pitch who both defend set pieces well.

It's an issue like but an overblown one imo. The squads crap and we just cant replace DCL, Richarlison, Doucoure and Mina and we have an average RB its that simple.

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

Out of interest do you see much championship football? Actually some descent football played.

Godfrey is giving off the sense of someone whose head has gone a bit

What a clueless post.

Hes the player whose got his head on the ball several times in the box. Hes played safe and cleared danger as opposed to giving the ball away.

Horrendous

It’s injuries apparently

 

[Misa]

Most of team has been poor that half is what I'm saying. Just that Rondon has been made a scapegoat. You can moan about other players too you know. Lol

 

[Toast]

Great start then downhill. Whoever is coaching the defence at corners needs binning,so poor. Rondon has to come off,he’s offering nothing at all. The manager needs to sort this out.

Benitez has set us up for corners in the exact way he did when at Liverpool.
Carragher went through it the other day on Sky.

 

[Zezti]

Richy warming up, finally something to be excited about

 

[Zatara]

We're out footballing this side, at least by my definition of it. We did something dumb so it is 1-1. We might do something dumb to give up another goal but I'm not really concerned about Watford playing through us and creating something and I think we will create a big chance for ourselves again. None of it means we win the game but given who we have available it really is pretty good.

Weird

 

[diggerdestroyer]

I think we could certainly turn it up a little but we really aren't in bad shape

I love your positivity. I could do with some

I watch it about once a week on TV.
To be fair most of the Championship games have a higher skill / technique level that this.

 

[No8Bally]

I'm more excited that England have the West Indies at 49 - 9 after only 12 overs in the T20!

 

[TheBigIguana]

One thing I always find funny is when strikers put crosses in and act confused no one is there. That's your job!

Nice cross from Rondon, no one in the box
