AlbanyNYToffee Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 In the States we call this a trap game. More nervous for this one than I was for Chelsea or Leicester. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These players need to smell blood and have the 5:2 defeat they inflicted upon on us in October (which was the start of the rot in my opinion) at the forefront of their minds.

RuffRob Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Not really sure how I feel about Ali getting game time to be honest. Especially as each game gets him closer to us forking out some money for him. It not like he has produced anything to shout about so far.

Bailey Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 It will be interesting to see how we approach this game. We have been so much better since we have been inviting teams onto us and picking them off. I would worry how things will go of we suddenly start trying to be the attacking team and squeeze up the pitch. Even though Watford are a far weaker team, I think we need to take the same approach and take our chances as they come rather than forcing things.

chicagoblue Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 One change enforced in Mina. Another I think likely in Delph who won't be risked twice in a week. Elston Gunnn and Wiggytop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Everton are looking to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since March 2021, while they last won consecutive away league games in May the same year. Indeed, the Toffees’ 2-1 victory at Leicester ended a 15-game winless run on the road. The Hornets have lost their past 11 home league matches, the longest run of home defeats in top-flight history. In Football League history, the only side to lose more than 11 in a row at home was Rochdale between November 1931 and August 1932 in the Third Division North, a run of 14 home defeats. Frank Lampard has won all three of his Premier League managerial meetings with Roy Hodgson by an aggregate score of 9-2 – it’s his best 100% win rate as a manager in the top-flight.

RuffRob Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 It will be interesting to see what the Watford crowd are like tonight - they must be truly deflated, Hodgson as a manager really didn't work and apparently he blew a kiss to the Crystal Palace fans at the weekend and ignored the Watford away fans - as they '..where a bit to far from the dugout..'!! A lot of fans just want him gone. Now relegated, it might be the game when the fans let him really know what they think. Watford also still have one more home game after this, so it not like it's their final home game of the season either. There is every good reason to think the atmosphere from a Watford perspective will not be great and the Everton faithful will be matching the support they gave the team at Leicester.

Hafnia Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 My nerves for the game are tempered by the fact that vicarage road will sound like goodison park…. Even down to Z cars being played. that’s down to our amazing fans. The referee will likely be very very confused. His innate instinct to award things to the home team will be met with boos and insults. we need to approach this game the same way as the past 3. Set up compact, work like bastards and essentially make Watford wish they were on the beach. I know they are missing players but the fans will hopefully stop any complacency creeping in. get the 3 points however we can. Fingers crossed Chelsea do the business against Leeds and we will be almost there. I can’t relax till it’s mathematically certain that we are safe but when we are safe - the energy needs directing at the board, this has been the hardest season I have had to endure as an Everton fan and that takes some doing and the fault lies with the board. dunlopp9987 and plaidharper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall Writer Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 A win for us tonight and Leeds losing to Chelsea will leave is with 4 points and a game in hand over Leeds. We'll then just need 2 points from our last 3 games (2 of which at home) and we'll be mathematically safe. Sounds simple, but I'm sure we'll do it the Everton way!

Hafnia Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I can probably speak for a lot of us when I say that this season was the most unexpected yet deserved (not by fans) for our club. It’s been horrible and made me evaluate how much we invest emotionally into it when you see the proper shit going on in the world. It’s not right. we simply can’t be run the way that we have and not expect shit to happen. The only positive to come out of this is that everyone realises what a huge passionate fan base we have- none moreso than the manager who I think in a short space of time has realised what Alan Ball meant when he said once Everton has touched you nothing is the same.

RuffRob Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 If we have anywhere near 7000 fans in the stadium (21,500 capacity) then it will definitely have the feel of a home game. I am guessing Watford fans themselves will not be clamoring for general sale tickets for this match. The fans have definitely help bring some much needed pride and passion to the club this past few month. Lets hope is a catalyst for all those with power at the club how so so important the real day in day out fans really are to a club like this. I think Frank Lampard has possibly been shocked and surprised at what he has been seeing from the fans - Even at Chelsea winning trophy after trophy at a big club he will not have seen this sort of hands on passion from the fan base.
