Know what you mean. It's like the team go out with the intention of doing just enough to win and that an 80% performance is enough. Then when teams have the termerity to stand and fight we only roll our sleeves up when it's too late as in the Arsenal game or almost too late like today.

I really don't think the 4-5-1 formation is working at all. It leaves kun far too isolated
That's my opinion too, 4-4-2 means Aguero gets less attention.

People keep saying winning while not playing particularly well is the sign of champions: So does the trophy go to us, Arse or rags?
As for yesterday, the M6 traffic south from Lymn to Knutsford took half an hour due to an accident, the round trip got 50mpg and the burger was OK. And the torrential rain was only light drizzle going to and from the car park.
We had more shots, we had more shots on target, we had more corners and we scored their fucking goal for them. I accept we weren't great - we gave the ball away far too often and most errors were unforced, I accept we were perhaps a bit lucky to win, but by what measure did Watford deserve to win? Did someone suggest it was "next goal wins" as the teams came out for the second half? We even got our winner before stoppage time so it's not like it was truly last-gasp.
It was an average performance with two great goals, but too many on here can only see performances as great or shite.

Excellent away win, in the space of a week we've screwed up the press comments of "can't keep a clean sheet without Kompany" and "can't win away from home" ha ha........now what do they have?

people need to stop the fixation with formations every week, declaring one as a dud whilst another as the magic bullet.
Yet again yesterday we saw players not putting in the required work rate and effort for 80 mins and then all of a sudden, giving a shit and getting the job done.
We move the ball far to slow regardless of formation.

Hi all. Clearly a Watford fan here. Well done yesterday. Thought that we nearly had you but class told in the end against a side that were out on their feet. It might seem a bit old fashioned but just wanted to congratulate you on the way you play the game. Having suffered the game against much vaunted Spurs when they spent the whole game trying to get players booked, feigning injury, it was good to see a quality team play properly. It seems as though a lot of you feel you played badly but to be honest every team we have played this season has claimed that they had an off day against us. We must be doing something right. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
