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

[blue to the bone]

Sadly Watford will have way too much for us here and comfortably win our first of 4 defeats in a row as we plunge towards the championship.

The negativity the last few months is rubbing off on me

Wouldn't call winning two matchess a juggernaut. Just call it " two steps forward". Now for three steps forward on Wednesday night. And No steps backwards. Thank you.
We are on the move. And about time. But of course anything can still happen. But here's hoping that We can win out next 3 matches. Put everyone in a good frame of mind for next season.

just like Leicester did before going on to win the league

Getting the 2nd worst team in the league right after they no longer have anything to play for is such a huge opportunity. A win could be all thats needed for safety now.

The key with this one is to score early on them. Kick them when they are down and destroy any interest they may have had in making a match of it. Convince them to quit early.

Really hoping we go 2 or 3 ahead so that I can watch most of the match without my blood pressure going through the roof.
I swear the last two games have knocked a couple of years off my life expectancy.
A nice and easy win please Everton.

I didn’t get it! He did!

Wish Watford wernt safe so we could take credit for sending them down

 

[PhilRegan]

My only fear is that Watford will have no fear and some players will want to be in the shop window. Hopefully the opposite happens and they can't be bothered. Either way it's in our hands, same energy same result.

Won’t be the walkover many are predicting. The pressure is off them, but 2 wins from the next two games will allow us breathing space and laugh at the meltdown of Burnley and Leeds fans who were so quick to mock us.

 

[PhilRegan]

Also the idea of resting our best players is unthinkable.

 

[hallamblue]

I fear for our makeshift defence. They could easily have been 3 or 4 up against Burnley. Difficult one to call. Our away record is terrible, their home record is terrible, so probably be a draw.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

On the one hand, if we get the following we had at Leicester and the team carry the momentum and fight from the last couple then a game against probably the only team in the league currently more abject than we were seems like an absolute slam dunk 3pts.

On the other hand, years of Everton has conditioned me to believe this is exactly the kind of game where we’ll allow ourselves a bit of hope only to be crushed unmercifully, ruining any good feelings that had built up around the club.

For once in my miserable life I’m gonna be positive about Everton, though. 1-3. Easy 2-0 lead, they’ll pull one back and we’ll be under the cosh and heads will be rolling everywhere in this thread, and then we’ll get a late breakaway goal and all will be right with the world.
