Watford post-match

ffs sky almost as comical as HT at the ground, youngest ever season ticket holder (Natile) "how old is he?" (dad) "he's one" (Natile) "how long has he had a season ticket?"..............................ermmmmmmmmmmm
 
The only differences between this game and the games against Spurs (H) and Norwich (A) was the fact we scored 8 goals from 28 attempts rather than 2 in 30 against Spurs and 2 in 25 against Norwich. Oh and cutting out the defensive mistakes.
Fernandinho was excellent at LCH and Ottamendi looked far more composed at RCH (he clearly can't play as a left full back). Mendy was sound as well. With our full backs playing more of a tucked in role as LDM and RDM when we had the ball. Rodriguez was much better at helping the full backs out when defending as well. The whole defensive shape making counter attacks much less damaging.
Very impressed with Kevin and Mahrez playing on the right and interchanging all the time.
 
Found this stat from Sqwaka amusing...


Delofeu managed to complete just 13 passes across 90 minutes at the Etihad, eight of which game from kick-offs.
 
This is the sort of garbage I predicted in the pre match thread. Don't ask me for lottery numbers.


"Be a tight game and they'll give us problems but we should out score them for the win"
 
What happened with Zinchenko? Is he done? With Mendy back, doubt he’ll start again from now on. Talking about PL matches, of course.
 
What happens when the work is done to get in behind and flood the box. Most of the goals came within the 6-yard box. Hard to miss from there (and we still managed to a few times!). Relentless effort today.
 
The thing is, we play like we did today in most games. The difference today, was the ball goes in the net. When we don’t take chances, it looks worse

Spurs should have been 6-2. When we click it doesn’t matter how the defence play as we will always score more but when we miss loads of chances or play poorly as we did last week, that’s when the defence gets exposed. I think blowing teams away early doors is the key! I quite enjoyed being 5-0 up after 17 mins today!
 
Mendy was shite. Angelino was shite. Cancelo was almost shite. Fuck off City
 
Funny isn't it, we record an 8-0 win 227 posts so far, lose 3-2 and well over a thousand posts. We're a strange bunch aren't we?

When we lose, you tend to get a lot of seldom seen posters spouting shite on here. When we get the occasional win, they tend to disappear "like a fart in the wind".
