Yep, hopeless so far. No attempt to build up, just lumping it into forward spaces for the strikers to helplessly chase.

Yeah this'd be right. They are on a great run and the time we need them to turn up, they don't.

Although how any side with Stephen Ward in its defence is 7th in the league is beyond me.

If we can’t see top 4 home this season, we won’t deserve Champions League football. It would be a pathetic ending to a season

Chelsea could be two points behind by the time we play Watford, although that'll obviously be our game in hand but still puts the pressure on.

And even then we’d still be way infront on goal difference so might as well be three points, with a game in hand.

As I say, we can’t see this top four spot home from this position then we’ll deserve all the ridicule and more, that would come our way.

Yep, and that's pressure whichever way you look at it because in this league, anything can happen. We've had teams come to Wembley, park the bus and make it difficult and I'm sure that's what Watford will try and do. Might help that it's a night game I think, maybe a bit more atmosphere.

Burnley seem to have no intention of winning this game. Very lacklustre performance so far

You would think that the chance to hop above Arsenal into a Europa League spot might have been an
incentive ?

I thought Morata was going to be seriously hot shit in the PL. Oh well.

For all the praise Burnley have been getting, they've been like this all season - winning points just by hanging in there without doing much. Our game with them at Wembley was just the same. It's admirable in a way, but they've had far more breaks than some teams in relegation trouble, like Palace and Southampton.
