Watford Post Match Thread - 1-1

Recommended Posts

Very frustrating game.

 

If we'd have shown more ambition and urgency we'd have won that match. We didn't show anything until after an hour. We need to stop playing it safe and passing it backwards, it's driving me mad. So many times there is space to run into, or a forward pass on, and we just go back. We're wasting our own time doing that.

 

It's annoying because, apart from a couple of weak links, we've clearly got enough quality in our team to be more brave more often on the ball. Whenever we do we look like we'll score. But we waste so much time passing it backwards or sideways. We created a few chances in the second half but over the course of the match we should have created 3 times that many because Watford looked open when we started to move the ball quicker.

 

You'd have to say Gray made a difference. Chilwell was his usual terrible self up until he scored, and is chief culprit of being negative on the ball. I beg the goal will teach him a lesson about what happens when you don't cut back and play the safe option, because he needs to learn it.

 

We defended poorly all day though, Watford could have scored more themselves.

Fair result really, although obviously disappointing to lose.

 

Interesting to see the impact that our subs had in the game and this could bode really well for the rest of the games. I think if we are in games or ahead our team has the depth to really challenge int he last ten minutes

For me it was more a tactical issue more than than anything. We knew Watford would sit back and not give Vardy space (NP knows him very well). Barnes should have come off much earlier and Albrighton perhaps should have also or at least swapped sides. Actually we needed Nacho on earlier with a formation switch.

We get so many corners and we never score.

It was inevitable every time we had a corner that it would come to nothing…. Watford are a big physical team…. It’s just going to ping of their defensive line

Really miffed with our defending at the end, got to be more firm to see games out.

 

Fair result though, shocking game. James Justin looked competent, wingers didn't offer much, Ndidi abit sloppy, Youri abit slack and off early again although as usually one assist slipped into the performance and you'd say he'd done well. Chilly putting the graft in down the left late on, beautiful hit.

 

Can't be surrendering leads that easy. Have to be able to handle pressure for more than 3mins.

Praet should start next game Maddison needs to stay in between the lines otherwise an ok peformance considering the fact they hadn't played for 103 days professionally. The tiki taka game we play requires very match sharp players which will become better with game time.

Thought you had nicked it there - good goal and you had been on top after we started the 2nd half well.

 

Dawson was our MOTM so fitting he scored I guess.

 

You were pretty good out wide but fortunately Vardy was quieter.

 

Good luck against Brighton.

Hope you stay up in place of West Ham!

Kasper was good, Evans and Soyuncu generally defended well. Maddison not too bad, Justin decent. Chilwell absolute screamer. 

 

Disappointed with Tielemans, Barnes and Albrighton. 

agree with most of that, Youri just isn't hitting them heights this season

I’d take a point to be fair. Miles off a proper game of football that was. 

We've seen two first half goals (well, that were given) in five matches so far. Nobody has scored before the 29th minute.

 

It will take some adjusting to.
