I think there’s what most fans hate , giving away a goal like that , two goals up way play such a stupid ball , punch it up the field and press hard . The manager can cry all he likes about fans wanting the ball to go forward quicker, I think most of us don’t want to see stupid plays like that . 

Don't feed the troll people

Hugely important win, just 5 more wins for 90 points.

Might need more than 90 points this season because the top 3 are so much stronger than the rest.

Here's more of the move for that incredible second goal. This needs to be shown to all the dinosaurs in our fan base that want it kicked forward as soon as possible.

 

  • Winks stands on the ball at the start of the move doing... nothing. He's trying to provoke the Watford player to come and press him.
  • He plays a bounce pass with Ricardo, then Winks plays it... backwards. BOOOO! GET IT FORWARDS!
  • Mads plays a cool, measured ball with his instep into KDH. BOOO! Just smash it long! **** tippy tappy BS.
  • KDH has come deep to receive the ball to drag his marker with him, and lays it off to Winks. WHY IS HE DROPPING DEEP!? He should be further up the field!
  • Winks, who is now facing towards the opposition goal can make a first time forward pass through the lines to Ricardo, who is now totally free because his marker jumped to try and follow Winks, because Winks' marker is trying to press the goalkeeper. Passing backwards has taken Watford players out of the game. BUT WHY DOESN'T WINKS JUST SMASH IT FORWARDS!?
  • Ricardo spins and drives forwards with the ball. KDH sprints from his deep position to support the attack. It's now 5 v 4 in our favour and Ricardo can pick his pass.
  • He lays it off to Fatawu with a simple pass. Fatawu could have cut in and lashed a shot at goal. But instead he waits a split second to commit his man, then plays a simple return pass.
  • Ricardo can then just pass it into the back of the net for an incredible team goal.

 

Why pass it sideways? Backwards? Do nothing at all? You've got to see the bigger picture. Don't force the game, make the opposition come to you. Manoeuvre them around and create the space that way, then exploit it ruthlessly. This is peak Enzo-ball. You won't see many, if any, team goals better than this across Europe. Incredible.

 

 

And yes Winks having a brainfart and gifting them a goal is the downside of such play. But over the course of a season, a great team will create and score many more goals playing this way than they concede.

Was Nelson injured?

Just seen he came off and Watford scored almost immediately.

 

 

Slick Russell was never in doubt. 3 2 down and 5 3 win is impressive. Being 3 2 down is less impressive mind.

You forgot to add ...

Cyclical foul implies a shirt pull or something harmless to the opponent but to gain an advantage. As people have said further up the thread, he was going for his achillies so it was an attempt at causing injury by the looks of it…

I can see that Winks scuffed it maybe took his eye of but he didnt have much of an angle to Faes with a good pass and could feel the player behind him.

Mads as usual almost forcing him to make that play and hence the error

Winks was a bit unfortunate it fell to Dennis .

 

Bayo would have probably missed and Rajovic not even there to take advantage as he is so slow !

What a disgusting player he was. Porteaus - out of his depth. 

 

By contrast, Watford had player in midfield - Kone - who I thought was very good, first half at least. @Super_horns is he decent every week?  Nothing on him but very strong and mobile. 

 

So rare this season we've seen a player and thought, ok, he's a problem,

I think you have summed it up well .

 

Porteous is very rash and almost tries too hard to get stuck in .


Kone for 21 looks like a decent player and certainly adds a bit of skill and craft to our team .

Good result. Ricardo goal was a thing of beauty the way the team worked as a unit. We could’ve been punished if it wasn’t for the sloppy defending that gave us the pen. Felt we should’ve buried at least 3 against the ‘orns.
 

Take the 3 points and on to the next one.
