Like I said after 10 mins we are playing like a team that’s lost the last 3 at home and totally lacking in confidence. Compounded by lots of players simply out of form at the wrong time like Kane, Son, Dembele, Davies etc.
Unfortunately, you can’t even say we at least look solid at the back because we don’t. We’ve had most of the ball, but Watford have had the best chances.
Can’t fault the effort, but it’s been poor and thankfully we’ve been gifted a goal. Hopefully we can put a couple of decent moves together and take the chance because I can see us conceding.

Still one up thanks to Hugo, Trip playing well despite carrying a knock, we're poor though.

Was asked if Poch should be judged on trophies and Neville emphasised how we're already outperforming expectations based on net spend. Also mentioned how great managers maximise the potential of the players and gave many examples of that (Walker, Rose, Eriksen, Kane etc). There's plenty more but I can't remember it all, got it recorded so can post it later if anyone's interested to see it

The problem is who comes on for him??Bloody hell is Dembele looking off the pace. He should be off at half time but we all know Poch's in game management skills
You can't really swap straight for Wanyama I'd have thought. Unless you drop Eriksen back and get Lamela on.
Sonny needs to sharpen up too.

Every chance Watford have had has resulted from us gifting the ball in central midfield. We’re playing ok when we attack, but our defenders keep getting caught because Dembele and Dier pass directly to an opponent in an attacking position.
Trippier and Lloris have been great. Son has been invisible and Kane semi-involved. But the main problem has been unforced errors in midfield.

Nah mate don't worry. Gareth Bale will solve everything. Or Malcom.

He’s had about a month where he can’t control the ball, it’s so frustrating.
Lucas should be on at half time but we all know Poch doesn’t make changes before 70 mins.

He’s looked fucked for a few weeks. Played 50 games this season I think the graphic said earlier.

His all round play is usually quite decent in August, he just can't score. At the moment he looks like a hungover sloth.

Highlights our massive need for a quality midfielder in the summer

Could, maybe should, quite easily find ourselves behind rather than ahead. Even that was a gift from their goalkeeper.
Rank bad half of football really. In patches we've played a bit of football, but far too sloppy at times with the ball, without it the press and our shape has been poor also. Tempo has got to be better too, I'm watching this with my old man and he is going ballistic at the amount of times the man on the ball has about half a dozen statues ahead of him just not offering anything, and he's not wrong either.
The likes of Kane, Dembele, and Son have fared no better in this game either. Dembele in particular has been woeful in that half and is again struggling to get around thepitch his middle third domain.

Because Sanchez is the future. Toby's the past. Simple as that. It'd be poor management to be playing guys who are out the door ahead of the future of the team. Serves nothing. Maybe in a Cup Final but not now.
