Typical - we  play really crap but then get a goal back..

 

Then go and give one away!

 

Maybe should have got a penalty but probably would have misssd.

 

No one played even average .

Maybe the manager bounce has gone? Need to start picking up wins sooner rather than later.

The preparations of your team wasn't particularly helped by Andre Gray..

 

Watford's preparations for the game were not helped by the omission of Andre Gray, Nathaniel Chalobah and Domingos Quina, with the club saying it was "to ensure the health and safety of all players, staff and officials".

It came after Gray reportedly held a birthday party at his home, breaking coronavirus lockdown rules.

Southampton have seemed like a decent team for a while now but they always seem to be in the bottom half. 

 

watford may be alright if the bottom 3 carry on being as shit as they have been. Bournemouth are the ones who could pick up a win from nowhere, they've got us to play as well.

Pretty frustrating when the BT com said Wolves had taken 9/9 points since the restart. I hadn't been paying too much attention to the table, especially when I saw there were like 5 teams that could push us out of 4th. Too many games involved to try to figure it out. We need to win.

Champs League qualification: Why they will, why they won’t
Date published: Monday 29th June 2020 3:54

 

Leicester
Why they will qualify: They’re in third place and deserve to be there. Other than Liverpool and Manchester City, Brendan Rodgers’ side have played the best football in the division. The spine of Kasper Schmeichel, Jonny Evans, Caglar Soyuncu, Wilfred Ndidi, James Maddison and Jamie Vardy has been unshowy but productive. A case could be made for any of those players to be in the team of the year.

They’ve also conceded the second fewest number of goals this season, and in Vardy, have the Premier League’s top scorer.

Why they won’t qualify: They appear to be in the process of imploding. Two Premier League wins since New Year’s Day; one goal scored since the restart; their lead over fifth-placed Wolves incredibly now just three points. They shouldn’t even be in this article – qualification should have been a done deal by now.

There was a point before Christmas when they had that wonderful balance of having a settled team, yet still competition for places. It’s now the exact opposite: very few – if any – of the first team are playing well, and there doesn’t appear to be much pressure from the second string to replace them. What was deemed to be a strong squad at the turn of the year now looks like one severely lacking in options.

 

Being dumped out of the FA Cup is a positive in terms of fixture congestion; they can now focus on the league. But it can’t have done much for morale. Chelsea were shockingly bad in the first half at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Leicester had several chances to take a two or three-goal lead. But those opportunities were created through their opponent’s inadequacy rather than their own good football. And in fact they messed up the only bit of football they had to do in missing the target, often by significant margins.

Vardy’s stopped scoring, Soyuncu looks angry rather than stoic, Ndidi is giving the ball away, and although we know Ricardo Pereira is a fantastic footballer, his absence surely can’t be as significant as it’s being made to look right now.

Add to their collapse the other teams’ collective rise and Leicester must have a crick in the neck from all that craning over their shoulder.
