WATFORD vs EVERTON - FULL TIME

Emphatic win for the Toffees! They scored three goals altogether but thought that they were losing it when Watford made their substitutions and it all started to click for them. But in came Ossie who made that tad bit of difference.

Everton started the game with full confidence. The wingers - Arteta and Fernandes - looked like mouth-watering prospects with their great control and excellent flair. They bamboozled the Watford defenders with their trickery and gule.

The backline continued to be water-tight and AJ, ran riot upfront. The defenders really did not know how to handle him, which led to AJ being hauled down in the penalty box. AJ returned the favour by putting the ball into the back of the net.

Manny was also on the scoresheet, his first ever goal and definitely not his last. Manu was totally rocking on the right side of the pitch and looked set for an excellent career with Everton is Moyes is given the money to sign him on permanently.

Beats is still a little rusty in the scoring department - he totally missed a sitter - So did Timmy as well. But both gave good accounts of themselves.

Cars remains the quiet but effective guy, and that goes for all four defenders who truly played their hearts out. It was nice to see Nayce playing as well.

Score: Watford 0 - 3 Everton

That's a good midfield we've got now. If Beattie can start playing again we've got a good team there.

Yeah...a good striker won't suddenly become bad overnight. He'll get back his form.
