WATFORD 3

-

WALTER MAZZARRI declared a state of emergency going into this game – but it was Ronald Koeman who will be ringing the alarm bells now.

After two wins in nine and injuries to his first- choice centre- half pairing, Watford’s boss had every reason to be fearful.

But he need not have concerned himself. Everton were shoved from pillar to post at Vicarage Road – and they simply couldn’t cope.

In terms of hunger, desire and drive, there was only one team in it.

And the Toffees were even given a goal start when Romelu Lukaku banged home the opener.

It’s now just one victory in 11 for Everton. There were boos when Koeman substitute­d Kevin Mirallas for Ross Barkley – and boos at the final whistle.

Much more of this and Toffees’ fans will be reaching for the booze long before 6 ............. Shots on Target .......... 4 4 ............. Shots off Target .......... 4 1 ................
