Okoli the biggest bombscare I've ever seen

Not seen Vesty or Faes, then?

Watching Nelson relax in to his passing game, I don't really see a reason for Vestergaard to start another game for us. 

 

Whilst I don't think Okoli is world class, he's no more accident prone than Faes either and at least he cares. 

 

This isn't a brilliant centre back pairing but it's the ones the fans wanted back in August and it's probably the best we've had. 

 

That aged well

What's your point?

He’s not that great

Some neat football but we hardly ever get into the box with pace or purpose. The equaliser summed us up defensively: panic and no organisation.

I've said before and will reiterate. There is not a decent defender in this squad. 

Not a decent footballing defender. They can all throw themselves in front of stuff, it’s just beyond belief Marti is using the resources he has in this way. 

[Larry_LCFC]

Same mediocre shite we have come to expect from this lot. Okoli cant complete a pass to save his life, Fatawu his usual greedy brain dead self, Ayew may aswell have his feet up in his nursing home. Playing too many over complicated passes and failing on the basics. Zero tempo to our play whatsoever.

JV and Nelson is preferable imo

[LE3_Fox]

Interesting to see we've gone back to Enzo's 3-box-3, at least at home. Gets plenty in the attack but leaves us with little at the back. 

[nettle]

This playing from the back shit is doing my head in. What a shit show

Okoli isn't accident prone tbf, just s**t

[Cropwellfox]

So ponderous in our possession, by the time Mavididi gets the ball their right back has had plenty time to sort out his position and the right wide player tucked in too. Not much he can do other than turn back most of the time

Always when I click on the match thread for the first time, sorry everyone.

Judging by that goal. Are you Okoli?

17 Championship games without a clean sheet. What a disgrace.

Enormous mental issues in this team. And that's all down to the manager first.

Cifuentes simply cannot instill confidence and has so far failed to address our defensive frailties.

[lcfcfoz]

Faes monga ramsey on. 

[SuperMike]

Just seen the stat for aerial duals won  -   Watford 100% !!!  WTF - its been like that for about 4 years. Presume it is down in the training manual for April/May?

Like a few of our players, who scouts them and thinks they can play? Recently Okoli, Carranza, WoYo or whatever his name is, Just dreadful, bargain basement signings. 

We spent £12m on Okoli. A bit more than Forest spent on Milenkovic from another Serie A club in the same summer. Another great example of how we've wasted money. 

[Fazzer 7]

Haven't managed to keep a clean sheet since September. At this rate it'll be next September before they achieve another.

1-1 at half time is a pretty fair reflection on the play.  We just aren't good enough to play out from the back the way the manager is trying to make them play.

It hasn't been terrible but it hasn't been very good either.  1-0 up with a minute to go to half time just clear your lines for ****s sake.

 

Exactly like you would expect from a lower mid table championship team. One or two moments of decent play one or two moments of utter dross and the rest somewhere in between.

Easy to see Watford winning this.

By the time the wingers finally get the ball on the half way line with their backs to goal, they are marked.  Then they have to decide to pass the ball and run into space or try and take everyone on themselves. 

 

there seems to be zero tactics or plan other than Nelson playing like a quicker JV.

Should we allow Jakob to kick it up every time 🤷‍♂️ 

[DezFox]

This is shit, as per, no real plan, patterns of play, I’ll say it like every week Marti is building nothing, nothing at all. So boring.
