Watford (A) - Post-Match Thread

[asgoodasitgets]

I’ll pick out the negatives.

Laporte is nothing on Stones, weak link.

Sterling so so frustrating, very greedy tonight and yes he scored but my dead granny could have bagged that. But gets into so many dangerous positions, drives me batty.

Gundogan ring any bells ?

Fantastic first hour, controlled the game from the start. Should really have been 3 or 4-0 at half time. Grealish had a very good game, bar his finishing. Sterling roasted Danny Rose. Bernardo despite not being as involved as usual, produced two class finishes. We let them back in the game due to the substitutions. We lost the energy of Grealish & Foden. We also lost our shape by shifting Sterling to the left to accommodate Mahrez. This let them back in to it. All in all, a good 3 points, minutes for KDB and top of the shop once again. Our next four games include 3 at home… Time to hit our Winter streak.

As simple a win as we will ever have

My criticism is that when it is easy we get sloppy
If we'd played with anywhere near the same concentration level as we did vs PSG the other week, Watford really wouldn't have got a kick of the ball
And I know Pep said it's all about the performance and not the number of goals scored, but that was a real chance to catch Liverpool up on GD
It is important to stick the ball in the net in comfortable matches, especially for players such as Grealish, because when it comes to a tight game and the ball drops to Grealish, we don't want him doubting himself

Still, we are top of the league

Best moment in the tv commentary (NBCSN) was them saying how Watford fans in front of them let out audible gasps when Bernardo scored his second.

I get told about Summerbee, Bell, Lee. Denis Law's goal against United! By my Dad.

I had to suffer Nicky Summerbee, Alan Kernaghan and David Brightwell with the highlights being the Kinky, the Goat, (always had a soft spot for Andy Morrison). I could probably name a bazillion next big things that played for us that maybe reached 5 starts and 10 sub appearances before they disappeared again!

Of course George Weah played for us for a moment in time :D Does anyone remember Kakhaber Tskhadadze (I did have to google spelling).

I don't have children but it will be impossible to explain the pain of driving up with your Dad from Cornwall to use your Season ticket game after game, year after year to maybe win a game a couple of times a season!

Great Post mate and yes I remember Gio's compatriot Kakhaber Tskhadadze, there was also another Georgian, he was bald and his name possible started with an S and ended with dze....hahaha.

Bernardo should be called Mr Curly Wurly after his David Silva (Blackpool) tribute goal.

that goal sprung to my mind as soon as he hit it as well

Kavalashvili

I think he may have even scored for us!

 

[Benlee2022]

Bernardo. That is all

have bernado， have the champion!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

It was the slowness of the shot, but immaculate placement that made it similar. He just missed out on the extra jink.

That's actually a bloody good shout.

Ilkay is always an 8 out 10 or higher. Those sort of performances deserve the odd wayward shot.

 

[Ali B's Heel]

Perfectly put pal. Especially laporte not in John stones league.

This the same Laporte who was our main CB before Dias joined? Don't see myself why he is getting stick of late. He's a bit more physical than Stones for me which suits at times. He's certainly no problem by any stretch

 

[Petetheblu]

Kavalashvili

Yer, one of the guys was a CF and the other a DM if my memory is right.

 

[chickaroon]

He’s got a lot of stick but Grealish was very good today. Unlucky not to grab a couple goals and he’s just so much better centrally

I thought he had a very good game. Looked really dangerous today.

 

[mac]

I'm fucking sick of hearing or reading we need a striker this or that striker would put them away. Ffs we played last season without a fucking striker. We are hunting these top teams down. The goal difference will be gone as well. 1 nil every game we win simple.

Shelia

 

[Lavinda Past]

Both were clear. First one studs up straight into our player. Second one, no intentions to get the ball and studs again. Only people that need to give over was believing games gone soft1!11! or whatever that nonsense is.

The Cathcart attack on Jesus was nothing less than thuggery. A cynical trip to stop him, followed up by a whack to hurt him. Clear intent, violent conduct. An absolute shithouse's challenge that was more suited to a Sunday pub league. He should have been sent off.

 

[Ali B's Heel]

Murtazi Shelia or something like that

 

[paulchapo]

A magnificent performance, we really are the best team in this league but our ability to miss chance after chance is bloody frustrating. We should have been five up at half time and overall could easily have scored ten. This inability to kill games off is meaning we are sweating on results in games we have totally bossed. I've no idea how we solve it bar getting a striker in.
