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

[Marius57]

The problem with Everton is we dont have a star player who can turn a game, they are all mundane really with no end product

We used to until september. And he would have made a difference today with his vision.

 

[Tel001]

7 home points from 17 entertain 9 away points from 17..

A team with no clean sheets and 11 straight home defeats against a team who can't score ....

So 0-0 to no one's surprise but our disappointment.

Mate this was their B team , they had 10 players out

Seems like we’ve gambled on Leeds not getting more than 3 points from their final 2 there, with GD we are 3 points ahead.

It was all a bit silly that though after the last week of highs.

2 pts ahead my friend.

Leeds dont win we're fine, leeds win one out of 2 we just need a point.

 

[Magnifico1988]

We put in two quality performances prior to this then play like that to get ourselves virtually safe. Absolutely pathetic. Changes should of been made straight after half time. That was a load of bollocks that mind.

 

[ProZ]

Dele should be ashamed oh himself hes let himself down, the club down, and his family down.

Want's melting down the boy

 

[ToffeeDan]

It wouldn't be Everton without dragging out the pain though.. but if Leeds lose before we play Brentford we only need a draw from 3 games.

 

[matty1878]

We have 4 games. If Leeds win both, we would need 1 win and a draw.

don’t we have 3? - but i’m worried now the pressure is to much

 

[ChoccieStarfish]

Iwobi by a country mile.

Gray has been gash since December and looks so uninterested

Can't believe the lack of aggression we have in the final third

Hate you Everton

 

[Ruairi77]

That screamed caution.
We're not a great team, i'm not surprised we couldn't put a team with no reason to go for a win to bed.
You could see them trying and failing to draw the watford players out.
We just don't have the players to get clinical wins without hitting teams on the brake.
Expect the same against Brentford and Palace.
All in all, a point is not a terrible result.
Finish on 38pts and hope it's enough.

 

[brieverton]

Is it permutations time again? This season FFS. Will it ever end.

 

[Fansince1988]

Its not. We will need to go to Arsenal to get at least a point to guarantee safety, watch this space.

That’s my big worry, I hope with home form we stop that from happening, but this is Everton we are talking about ?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very frustrating performance. Lack of urgency against a side doing very little. Not a disaster by any means but a big opportunity lost. This makes it much more likely now to go to the final day.

 

[TheVelourFog]

Furious with Gordon, Gray, Iwobi and the entire back line tonight. Cowards one and all of them. Mykolenko whose first touch is always backwards, Keane and Holgate who cannot pass a ball forwards to save their lives, Coleman for his persistent negativity in possession, Iwobi, Gray and Gordon for their refusal to put the ball into the box. An awful attitude displayed there tonight and whether we go down or not I hope a large majority of these are gone next season. Kin cowards.

you didnt watch the same game mate. plenty of balls into the box. problem only playing one up front is no-one to get on the end

 

[ZissouBlue]

Iwobi and Delph only players who come away with any respect there (with a fair shout to Holgate as well). Not the sentence I thought I'd be typing but it's the world we're living in. Iwobi should have been pushed up in to midfield at half time. Richarlison, Gray and Gordon trying to create a goal themselves is laughable. Zero creativity between the three of them. They have their strengths but that isn't it.

 

[Acrobat]

We play like that against Brentford and Palace, we get 0 points from our two home games. We were terrible tonight, and the next week is going to be unbearable.
