Watford (H) Post Match Thread

For those whining about our finishing, it was poor, but xg was just 3.7. So yeah, with average finishing we probably get 4. But it wasnt as bad as a lot of you make out.

We’ve been a bit lucky since Chelsea game but in the end we’re getting 3 points. We need the break in prem games and hopefully can keep some of our players home for International break.

How the fuck have we been lucky, we've conceded two shots at our goal in 3 games and had about 40 shots athe oppositions goal, we've had about 70 % possession and bossed all 3 games, fuck me some blues need to get real

I've been thinking about the pub which is a 5 minute walk from my house. It's one of those big old rambling places with lots of rooms. The bar and most of the rooms have a screen showing Sky and BT matches. The only time I've been in to watch a match was last season's 1-0 away win at Chelsea. Anyway, I digress. The point being that whenever there's a match on, it's packed with scousers. I don't go when there is a match on for obvious reasons but the one time I did go, they were balling and moaning and being loud and getting pissed. Some even wear their colours. So I am imagining what it would have been like this evening. Guaranteed they would have been pissed up and loud and at half time, would have believed Watford had a chance of holding on. And then what happened in the second half would have shattered them. Not only did City get a controversial goal, it was scored by the one and only Raheem Sterling, the most hated player in Scouseland. Not only that, he then got his hatrick, thereby pushing their glorious team further behind

I can picture it now between the spitting and the dribbling, "Fuck off Sterling you fucking twat mercenary" and "Fuck off you manc Judas, you fucking twat Sterling" And others. What is really great to think about is their hope that was there at half time as they got a fresh round in, was shattered in the space of about 15 second-half minutes. And for Raheem to have done it to them, would have felt like 3 daggers to the heart.

Honestly, it's a pity I was at the match because I would have enjoyed sitting quietly in a corner with my pint, observing the scouse meltdown.

(To be fair it's not such a bad pub when there isn't a match on)

You wouldn’t wanna be the one waiting indoors for those fellas when they get home would you?

Noticed that in quite a few matches, almost as if we have the audacity to play in the area of the pitch they normally occupy. Sorry, I thought the players could move anywhere, and the refs have to fit in around that...

Atkinson is quite good at this but Tierney just before he gave the deadball instead of the corner did it it 3 times in a couple of minutes. Gave the first goal though which tbh I didn't agree with but I'm not sure I understand the offside rule anymore.
 
No good at finding the stats but are we conserving energy against the bus parking teams?.
Bernardo was being quoted as 13K covered during games but as we spending most of the game in half of the pitch it just looks less energy sapping.
Just a thought but it will get us over the line with plenty of games still to play.
 
Thought we did well overall. It was tough against a side who showed no ambition and played with 11 men behind the ball but we were patient when we needed to be and should have had a couple more goals by the end. Thought Gundogan played well again and continues to show his importance to the squad. Just watched Pep’s post match interview. Absolutely brilliant.
