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

[Bluerover]

Gracias amigo! 24 degrees sound like my kind of weather, here in Asheville still the morning time so I may have to leave the vino for later once Everton wins and I feel like having a celebration at knowing that our chances of relegation can become a thing of the past

Time for a Guinness for me

Time for a Guinness for me

Enjoy it and have another one for me, that’s until it is time for us to have toast later today after our win

Same watford who were up in arms and blamed Everton for their slump in form after an "unwarranted approach" of marco silva.
Shame that.

That was ten games into the season mate, not end of season when manager is coming to end of contract.

Great being retired!!! BTW the back pain not as bad - I suspect it is sciatica. Plenty of rest needed and Everton to deliver!!

We have to try, as hard as it is, to move away from 'Everton that' nervous energy.

Indeed my son, it has become something of a self fulfilling prophecy.

God bless and UTFT.

What did he do mate?

Totally clueless 'tactics', not using our one half decent asset (attack), alienating the supporters at every opportunity and after relegation was confirmed Saturday he applauded the Palace fans whilst ignoring the away end!

I know he had little time and the Watford job is a poisoned chalice but honestly mate, I've followed the club for a long time and he managed to plumb new depths of awfulness in pretty much every department.

True. But watford fans took the moral high ground over the whole thing. I dont mind seeing the forest green chairman putting the boot into them.

So what you’re saying is, tonight’s a nailed on 1-0 win for Watford? lol

Well I’ve had a really rubbish day starting with my car being broken in to. Bad day at work. Let’s hope Everton don’t let me down tonight

The way football goes that wouldn't surprise me (or you) but really, the atmosphere around the club is toxic. We know we're small fish, there is no expectation beyond effort, desire and at least some semblance of a game plan but all of that has been missing this season.

Over the moon to have got a last minute ticket for tonight! Does anyone know what time the team bus arrives at the ground?

I think what got to supporters was for once we seemed to be playing some decent stuff, manager and players had a rapport but as soon as Everton came into the mix Silva literally downed tools immediately (as did Richarlison).

I have no issue either with the FGR chairman getting vexed but only thing that gets me is how he isn't having a go at his manager for AGREEING to talk to another club, same as Watford pointed the finger only at Everton over Silva!

I’ve no doubt, looking forward to that day. Sciatica can still be painful so continue the rest but I would also suggest doing stretching. Here is an article with some good ones:

Medication can help with sciatic nerve pain, but exercises that stretch the surrounding muscles can also offer relief.

Your back needs to feel better to do all the celebrating jumping around after Everton is finally saved from relegation ?
