I really want to give it to Lamela for the goal and assist (that reverse pass into Dele was a thing of beauty) and Gazz for the two pen stops but I’m actually going to give it to Aurier for being on point all match. Completely different player this season and should be first choice RB in my opinion.
On a negetaive side I thought Davies was shocking in every aspect and Sanchez looked a complete mess, some of his clearances at the death were almost comical. Aside from that Aurier going off injured was bad news. There’s not much point bad mouthing Sissoko at this point, his technical ability does not match the style of football we play so is completely out of his depth. Not his fault.
As for Poch, another dodgy as fuck line up that offered 0 until he brought on a focal point for our attack. I think if Llorente had started we would have won easily.
Can’t be assed to go into anymore detail as the game was pretty dull on the whole and most of the team were meh.
Oh and we won a penalty shoot out... who would have thought that was possible!?
Just watched a replay of Watford's second and not sure if Sanchez was injured are just knackered but he was running back like a pub player who'd played 90 minutes after a heavy session the night before.
Might be suffering from the rotation.
I blame the guy being paid several thousand pounds a week to prevent a leather sphere filled with air from entering his team’s goal for turning his back as said sphere gently came towards him.I have now seen the goals. While I admit Lamela was culpable for being disposed, we had enough time and players to defend so that goal should not have been scored. I blame a very poor defence
Isn't that our new signing of the summer?Nobody.
