Don't know about that.
No we don't. We need 2 or 3 in of actual quality. We certainly don't need a squad overhaul.

I don’t think Conte has done anything wrong, he has inherited this squad. We are unbeaten in eight, but we are woefully short on quality. I hope Levy doesn’t adopt any kind of make do and mend, we still need a big overhaul.

Wow, Watford have had 5 managers since they last managed to keep a clean sheet, and we almost broke that run? We seriously need to improve our away form and breaking down teams.
If Ndombele can't be trusted to play in the last two games, where his strengths are clearly needed, then he needs to go right now. He is one of our highest earners and if Pochettino, Mourinho and now Conte all have issues with his attitude then he is done.
We were so lucky today. Big ref calls went against Watford (how was the Lloris incident not worthy of a second look?) and we didn't do enough to deserve three points.

It wasn't a good performance. A set-piece goal at the death doesn't change that. Conte would probably be the first to tell you that.
We're allowed to criticise when strange decisions are made. He's a top, top manager and I'm delighted he's ours but that doesn't mean his system doesn't have flaws nor does it mean he's a superhuman.
I hate that, teams that offer nothing and defend with 11 players behind the ball and hoping for 1 or 2 counter attacking chances IMO don't deserve anything. We weren't great but we absolutely dominated them.

Kind of odd seeing Sissoko in Watford colors.

Can't believe people are moaning about this, it was the most controlled performance we've put in for absolutely yonks. All it lacked was the most important thing which is of course end product.
Fix the defence and make us hard to beat first. Big tick.
Then bring in some signings and fix the attack. Work very much in progress.
Today was a great big leap forward in my book.

I still think Royal can grow into his position, agree his crosses were dross.

Feckin love that Merson was following our game on Gillette soccer Saturday.

Not sure I’d call us lucky, we had 21 shots to their 6 and all the possession. Should have tested the keeper more but we scored the goal, won the game, were the better team.
Move on, and start thinking of better ways to break down teams that will park the bus

I think his subs in this game and against Southampton are showing who he trusts and who he doesn't.

Time for all the pundits/opposing fans to start saying it’s not fair and Watford deserved something just because they started to play a bit in the second half… It wasn’t pretty, but if this was Liverpool they would be crediting them for grinding out a result.

Our xG was over 2, they were very fortunate that they didn't concede earlier in the game with a number of the saves their keeper pulled off. He's typically dogshit and if he'd played to his normal standard we could have scored three. It may not have been a scintillating performance but we did what we needed to do. Over to Levy now.
