Watford post match thread

He was poor today however you look at it, but the guy to his left was worse, and Mangala was caught many times trying to defend the space behind Kolarov, who at one point stood there and pointed at the space. I'm not a Kolarov hater, but that was one of his worst games for us, even ignoring the OG, even Sterling was more use defensively.

Point taken
 
The arses have the dippers, stoke, chavs, southampton (again hahaha), bournemouth and leicester away next.
If there ever was a time to start blowing teams away, it's now.
 
Still not seen a title winning style performance but grateful for the 3 points really important we got them today. With all his obvious talent KDB is a homer. He doesnt produce the goods away from home. I would choose Navas before him when playing away.
 
Great result today. As the song goes, "We Fight to the End!"

Two brilliant goals from two brilliant players.

Bacary Sagna was outstanding today, though I thought both KdB and Merlin were well off their best; their passing was very poor.

But a win's a win and this result will give all concerned great confidence for the coming weeks.
 
Three times in quick succession Sagna was set free in the first half and was best placed to cross, yet each time he turned back and, eventually, de Bruyne ended up curling the ball in from beyond the eighteen, which drifted harmlessly over Aguero and out of play. We need to be more direct and kess precise, as we'd do better feeding off the scraps than trying to create the perfect goal.
 
I was shocked to discover that that was Mangala's 50th game for us. £42 million and he still looks like he is struggling to settle in, it just is not good enough. It looks like he has all the abilities to do be a good cb except for one: decision making - the most important!
 
What I have noticed from the last two games, sides are are getting right in our faces, little pulls whilst we are running with the ball, little pushes ankle tapping etc, I've noticed them all going unpunished, sides are being very clever with their physical approach, nothing that would be a really bad tackle, the switch to 3 at the back had Bobby Manc written all over it?
 
Let's not lose sight of the overall premiership picture. Leicester were fortunate to get a point today and the Arse were fortunate to beat a shite Newcastle.

We're better off at the end of the day than we were at the start. Job done - lessons learnt (though less sure about this, Navas is a case in point) - so let's move onwards and upwards. The fixtures we have already played were harder than our competitors and the ones we have left yo play should be easier...

Arse, Leicester, Spuds, Manure, the other four in the top five all have to come to the Etihad, the place where the best home record in the prem resides so far this season.
 
Two worldies to pull that one out of the fire. Poor individual performances all over the pitch but...I had a feeling if we won this game we would go on to win the title. So come on you Blues!
 
Yesssssssssssss we didn't lose to Ben Watson again.
Thought we were quite poor until the last maybe 15 mins. Great save Joe Hart, not a perfect game but don't believe he could've done much about the own goal.
Defence was up and down, very hesitant and then quite solid; I didn't feel we were creating much at all, giving the ball away far too often. It just seems in the script in recent games we can only turn it on right at the end.
I was fearing for Pellegrini (on here) when he made that change, don't think I've ever seen Fernandinho play at the back but he did fine and I suppose it worked so very well done Manuel.
An assist for Kolarov to redeem himself and a beautiful volley into the corner from Yaya. Not saying he's been outstanding but his last few goals are what we all like to see. 2 and a half minutes later, hard to think of a better cross than that one from Sagna and a textbook header from Agüero, so glad he and Silva and stayed on 'til the end it makes everything possible.

Says it all you would pass on Guardiola and keep this guy. Surely the club is more important than one person at the end of the day. But whatever, you keep Sucking his ring ;)
