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

[Brett Angell Delight]

See I disagree. We had chances. Richie, Gordon, doucoure, Gray, all had golden opportunities but poor finishing let them down.

I can think of 3 occasions (twice by iwobi) just in the 2nd half where we pinged the ball across the 6 yard box yet noone met it. We had plenty of opportunities, but we lack that cutting edge or decisive pass. There is a lack of awareness at times between the players, and a lack of vision I'd say as well. We don't have a player that can pick a key pass or unlock a defence like James and Siggy used to do.

We controlled that second half, we have got a point and clean sheet away from home. And had the above players been more clinical, we could have won comfortably.

People want changes, but he clearly doesn't trust most of the garbage we have on the bench.

Fair points mate.

All I’d say to that is that a more attacking formation with starting positions higher up the pitch, and a centre forward on the pitch might well have helped us convert balls across the six yard box.

Fingers crossed we can find a way to put the ball in the net on Sunday.

Pressure to beat Brentford 4-1 again now

I think you need to take a step back mate, it’s not healthy being stressed out about a game of football

when (if) we’re safe i will mate

until then i can’t

Could be in the bottom three again by the time play our next match

I’d be stunned if Burnley got a point from Spurs let alone a win, but you never know.

Bedwetting needs to stop folks - I’m gutted we didn’t win but I’m also happy we didn’t lose again away from home, with these cowardly players that frank clearly can’t trust after Burnley away.

I would have rotated a little more tonight, gray and Gordon as and delph out for rondon, dele and Gomes/Tommy D, and go 433 or 442, but I get why he stuck.

We created more than enough decent chances - a bit more composure and we win it.

Have to hope potterball continues Leeds implosion following a yids win earlier in the day , before we kick a ball, and we can ensure we stay up by beating or drawing versus Brentford on Sunday, with two games still to play - still firmly in our hands.

Always said these games are crucial. 3 points tonight kills Leeds for good. Now they've got a lifeline at home against Brighton. This then puts more pressure for us to get a result against Brentford.

To me it could've been over tonight. Even losing it would've put us in the same position pretty much

Nah the point is good. Burnley draw and we lose the next one they would've jumped us. The point cancels out Burnleys goal diff over us.

can’t we win 2-0? gotta be 4? lol

 

[BlueToff]

Lampard let it drift far too long. But not on him that Gray and Gordon turned in -10 performances. Both of them absolutely horrendous.

A point not the end of the world given the Leeds result. But depending what they do against Brighton, Sunday might end up being must-win.

Opportunity missed, very frustrating.

They’re a bit of a different proposition these days!

aye?

How any of our fans are happy with that is madness. We are in a relegation battle and that was the 3 easiest points of the season right their on a plate. Most of their team was out, and the 11 on the pitch looked like they couldn’t even be bothered and we done nothing. No urgency, no effort, no desire, just shameful.

Don't think anyone is happy with that, but just trying to have a bit of perspective. The players have given a lot recently and the options on the bench are mainly garbage.

I'd be livid if that had followed expected losses of man u, Leicester twice, Liverpool and Chelsea. But it didn't, it followed 10 points from 15 instead.

Could be in the bottom three again by the time play our next match

Or at best we’ll be one place lower if Spurs Spursy it against Burnley

 

[Blue83]

Bit of a boring game, important point though, we just need to get 1 more draw and Leeds to lose and we'll be safe

 

[Marius57]

can’t we win 2-0? gotta be 4? lol

1 nil would do
