Wednesday night’s 0-0 draw with Watford was the kind of result for Everton that does not need to be spoken of further. It was a point towards safety, doubling the distance between themselves and the relegation zone.
The game itself was grim. Frank Lampard admitted he’d have checked to see what was on the other channels had he been a neutral watching at home. Now, as he learns to love a different shade of blue, he took it on while stood in the Everton technical area, grimacing and hopping from one foot to the other like a man using a public bathroom.
