Amazed the Bournemouth players can play football at all with their arms constantly in the air whilst they shout out ‘REF!’ every 3 and a half seconds.
Pretty dull first half. Maybe needs a tweak in formation? 4-2-3-1 with either Pedro behind Perica or Zinc behind Pedro.
Feel like I say this every time we play them but I'm always baffled by how so much of their game plan is try and con the refs. Genuinely don't think there is another team in England who go down so easy.
I thought that was pretty even. We started well but then Muff had their spell, Masina needs to watch himself SH. Tight game as I expected. We need more composure going forward, but defenses on top so far.
Carter Vickers not getting booked for the foul straight after massina’s yellow was baffling - not that the commentators mentioned it
They are coached that way - Pearson threw himself to the ground via a pirouette but knew exactly where the ref was so he could make eye contact from the ground. Without a shadow they practice it
Rivalry or not, there can’t be many Watford fans who don’t have some level of dislike (minimum) towards Bournemouth!?
We never do well after going a goal down - never have in decades/years. Hardly ever seem to get back into games. Might as well turn off after they scored.
The main game plan of anyone must be to basically score first against us. We never seem to come back from behind. Just lacked sharpness and let in a silly goal because we weren't concentrating. Oh well - come on Stoke/Bristol City.
Deeply unpalatable team and how they play. They are a good team with good players yet they clearly had a plan to kick and feign injury,just as they have done for years. TC should have scored with his chance,surely a chip was the better option? We looked flat after that and the end was an inevitable consequence. Despicable display from them. I don't condone our actions but I completely understand. Just cheating and it stinks.
The last time we got even a point away from home having been behind was at Crystal Palace in January 2019. A damning statistic and something we urgently need to correct.
Fingers crossed Lerma has a career ending injury. Hope the shi tty stadium they inhabit burns down. Usual scummy antics. Hope they go bankrupt as well. Pure scum.
