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

[Daytripper]

Good turn out at Finch Farm today from the videos taken, I couldn’t make it . The atmosphere at the weekend gathering was brilliant.

hate it when we play against kids though

remember that sheffield united striker banging in the winner at goodison park

also losing to liverpool's under 5's at anfield

I feel like we went through a spell of Wenger's kids dumping us out of cup competitions, too.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Think some rotation within reason is sensible. Allan for Delph makes sense and I reckon Gomes could make up a midfield three. We do struggle to unlock inferior sides and we saw against Brentford in the cup he’s got the quality to do it if we can provide sufficient cover with Allan and Doucoure.

Doing so would also allow us to shift Iwobi up to the front three if Gordon needs a rest (and he’s been looking like he could use one).

 

[Toffeepot]

Most of Watfords team are out tomorrow apparently. Don't know why, can't find a presser from them, but apparently thats the case

 

[HKContractDave]

I mean, if this is correct and not some sort of weird mind games ploy, we will be playing an extremely weakened Watford side. Need to take full advantage.

Incoming Dan Gosling hattrick then...

Confidence growing amongst the Watford faithful.

Oh come on. I know we're bad but I wouldn't go that far.

Or do they mean them?

 

[Littlesue]

Expecting 6 or 7 0

If what’s been said about their injuries is true we absolutely, absolutely have to win this

 

[Nymzee]

All signs are pointing towards a good day. But it's Everton, so I will remain a pessimist.

70 ! Maybe 69 ! ?

If he means VRS3, then that’s the “Family Stand” according to the seating plan. Being a school night is possibly one of the reasons why there was available seats? I feel for any Watford dad who is taking his kid the game if they’re going to be surrounded by a load of up for it Blues ?

Sarr and King gave our defence nightmares at Goodison. I think Dennis scored too.

Those injuries weaken them, but that doesn't mean it will be easy by any means.

I think the lad Kamara in midfield is out with suspension as well, and he's good. I would be interested in signing him.

Well it absolutely SHOULD be. They’re dreadful WITH those players. Sarr and Dennis are the only real quality they have. Not convinced all of those players are ill or injured either. There seems to be a horrible atmosphere around that club from the fans hating the manager, to senior players calling out other players publicly for their lack of effort. I’ll bet most on that absent list have just sacked the game off and can’t be bothered.

Only way we don’t win this game tomorrow, is either a lack of focus, a lack of effort, or both. In which case the players will need dragging over hot coals.

 

[Toast]

We are odds on to win tomorrow and even money to beat Brentford.

Got to go all out tomorrow for sure.
My niggling concern for Brentford is that most of their players wouldn’t have played in such an atmosphere as they will face at Goodison and may just take it in and enjoy it with no pressure on at all.

 

[Chewbacca]

Lost 10 home games on the bounce. We all know what that means.
