Match Thread Watford v Everton Sat 9th April 2016 KO 15:00

[Khalekan]

If I was Moyes i'd be laughing my cock off

Well he may as well.....everyone had been laughing at his managerial efforts since he left us.

And far from laughing his cock off, I bet wee Davey is just sorry he didn't stay where he as well off and now would be sitting with the prospect of big dough to spend.

 

[Toffeelover]

With the players we have can't even beat flipping Watford, oh and now we are holding down 14th spot in the table - incredible eh RM.

 

[banno]

Perhaps lukaku plays when he wants because he has no motivation to do any different?

I mean he runs his arse off all game and scores a couple of goals, fantastic, the defence just let in three and we lost now do this over a whole season and of course he is just thinking about leaving us and having a chance of real success in his career. I mean he has 25 goals this season and is sitting 14th in the league, why would he now even care to put a bit of effort on?

Maybe because we still pay him about 70k a week and if he falls off big style because he is not bothered then that would put any big move at risk because they will see he hasn't got the right attitude.

 

[Tree13]

Yes they are good attacking but I stand by my statement that they are not good defenders. Maybe its the attacking intent that takes away from the defensive abilities.

Doesn't that conveniently ignore the fact that two seasons ago Coleman, Jags and Baines made up 3/4 of one of the tightest defences in the league, and had done for at least a couple of years, with the likes of Osman and Neville sat in front of them as the DMs AND with Baines and Coleman attacking more than they do now? Why yes, yes it does.

If the three of them are now awful defenders is that because:
a) Distin was in fact the lynchpin of our defence; or
b) Martinez, who couldn't coach Wigan to defend in any way, cannot coach our players how to defend in any way?

You pro-Martinez types are absolutely bonkers.

 

[Tree13]

Martinez to me is still a brave manager who wants to play a certain way rather than the mentioned teams who will battle and battle to keep PL status knowing they have no hope of challenging. I would rather still be trying to challenge rather than be content with PL status or bragging about 6th and 7th place finishes. Hey ho that's just me. Position isn't the be all end all its the intent that's floats my boat even if its failed.

Tell me more about how being in 14th place somehow equates to "challenging", and is better than being 6th or 7th.

Actually, don't bother.

Oh, you weren't? Sound.

 

[Darth Vader]

Mad how the senior players like Eto, Distin, Jags and Baines have all got onto the utter ferret

That's why he goes for youth, There the only ones stupid enough to listen to his utter waffle

 

[rbm]

The result today doesn't matter. Totally irrelevant.

When we beat whichever United it is in the semi our tails will be up. Here's hoping anyway.

Mate he has already done more than enough to push a Move to a top club perhaps he already knows that? 25 goals is a hell of a return for a striker, he is too good to be here and that's what his agent will be selling to anyone who will listen from last month onwards

I am sure the result wasn't "irrelevant" to the majority of those fellows who went all the way down there to watch that dross, at no little expense.

Why do people come out with this tosh about Everton games being "meaningless" and the results "irrelevant".

These "irrelevant" results are sapping at the confidence of both team and fans alike.

If it's wham and Carroll plays like today we are in big trouble.
