Everton boss Ronald Koeman will be hoping that last weekends comeback draw against Manchester United will be sufficient to spark his side into life.Another opportunity presents itself Saturday against Watford at Vicarage Road.The Toffees (5-5-4) have won just one out of their last nine Premier League matches -- an unacceptably poor run for such a talented group of players -- but they may have turned a corner after rescuing a point from a losing position against United last week.A late penalty, given away by former Evertonian Marouane Fellaini, proved the critical moment in the match, but Koeman was keen to praise the impact that his teams substitutes made after halftime.The three substitutes had a big impact in the game, the Koeman said. It was deserved because we were the most dangerous team in the second half.While its true that Everton did improve as the game went on, the coachs comments appear just as likely to have been a thinly veiled message to midfielder Ross Barkley, who was pictured in tears on the substitutes bench when left unused.The much-heralded Barkley has developed a slightly overhyped reputation as a match-winner since his breakthrough into the first team, yet still has plenty to add to his game. Hence Koemans decision not to introduce the youngster into such a finely poised match.I understand it is difficult, I understand the expectation, Koeman said of Barkleys slow development last month. He is a boy from the club. Of course he is someone I can see improve -- I am really involved in his process, of course.ddddddddddddBut, finally, it is up to the player. We can support, we can help, we can show clips. But ... finally? It is the player.Watford (5-3-6) go into this game on the back of a hugely disappointing 3-2 loss against West Bromwich Albion last weekend. But, despite the defeat, manager Walter Mazzarri believes the performance left a lot of reasons for positivity.Its the best football in an away game since I arrived here, he said. For sure, we did not deserve to lose. We deserved the victory from the way we played.Watford have doubts over the fitness of Daryl Janmaat, Younes Kaboul, Kenedy and Craig Cathcart, while Adrian Mariappa is out until the new year with a foot problem. Roberto Pereyra is suspended, but has had his three-game ban for a red card against West Brom reduced to one on appeal -- meaning he will only miss Saturdays match.Everton are likely to be without big-money signing Yannick Bolasie for the rest of the season due to a knee ligament injury. Midfielder Muhamed Besic is also a long-term absentee, but Seamus Coleman could be fit after a rib injury.Both meetings between these teams last season ended in draws. Prior to that, Everton had won nine straight games against the Hornets and the Toffees havent lost this fixture in 29 years.
