Watford 1-2 Manchester City - 04/12/2018

I presume this will only be for the 20 minutes you are there?

 

1-14 (fluke goal from a set piece)

Hope we lose tonight, as i don't want Liverpool to win the league.

 

Oh dear, whatever happened to the dislike button? I hope we win. Come on you Horns.

 

I’m with Relegation Certs on this one. I’d imagine it’ll be about 20 minutes into my recording of tonight’s match when I get home this evening before I’ve seen enough and change over, safe in the knowledge that I’m going to be a little wealthier this evening thanks to the savage beating we receive. Happy days.

 

Just seen the line up. I would like to retract my earlier bold prediction of a 1-0 win and change to a miserable defeat where they don't even get out of second gear and still win 4-0.

 

Hang on... Get Success up against Kompany's creaky legs and Deeney to push Stones about a bit and we could be onto something. 3-1 Watford.

 

Feeling strangely confident about this one.

0-4

 

I never thought I'd ever say this, but we are gonna really miss Carpoo, not that we have a cats chance of getting any kinda result, but, I'm staying positive. We beat the Spuds so this match ain't impossible. 0-0. After 4 minutes, then the blue moon army open up our defence as a Lion eats Cheese, Lions love a bit of it.

 

Love Troy but surprised he's been given the start here.

 

In the box we not gonna offer much. Deeney and Success pick the ball deep and Deulofeu who would usually be the runner in the box on occasions is on the bench.
Maybe Gracia is thinking about the next game.

 

Shoutbox up

 

Should have gone 4-5-1 and played Deulofeu right mid. Him running at Delph would give us a chance (a very very very slim one). Even a possible early booking so Delph is on eggshells the rest of the game.

 

Prob the worst I’ve ever seen us play. Man City are a great team but ud think we were national league the way we are playing. Man City do press well but we are panicking so badly on the ball it’s embarrassing. We’re in the same league let’s give them a go and play our own game instead of shitting ourselves because we are playing the great and almighty Man City. Doucoure been horrific, bring on GD

 

Chalobah worse than AD - shown up in the first half

 

Can’t ask for much more than that against that class of side.

 

Thought Quina came on and played really well. Would stick him in ahead of Hughes at Everton.

 

Brighton now above us in the league. Remember how rancid they were first day of the season?

 

What did we learn?
Put Delia on the wing and things happen. Yes his decision making is really poor, but at least something happens. Can the idiot please now stop playing him at #10.
Quina is more than ready for 1st team football, and based on Pereyra and Hughes form deserves more game time.

 

I'm not sure Quina is suited to the right wing either, but I agree that he looked very good when he came on - very composed on the ball, got some pace as well. I'd happily give him a go ahead of either Hughes (who was anonymous again) or Chalobah (who was just dreadful).

Deulofeu needs to stop faffing about and improve his final ball.

Doucoure didn't quite redeem himself with that goal. He continued to be poor in possession for most of the match.

Holebas had a shocker for their second - had he tried to block it instead of turning his back he could have stopped it easily.

Why couldn't Foster have been that on it in the Leicester game, instead of gifting them a cheap penalty with their first chance?!?!

Can't fault the effort of the team though (except for Holebas for their second), even if the quality wasn't there a lot of the time.

 

To be honest I’d take 11th/12th place now if offered. Would be solid for us.

 

Do I detect a slight difference of opinion here?

 

That was awful.

I thought Foster, Cathcart and Kabesele did well, and Quina did ok. But otherwise we were embarrassingly, Sunday League standard, poor.

 

Submissive performance. 8 from 33.

 

Pretty dire for the majority of the game but a good last 20 or so. On another day we'd have picked up a spectacularly undeserved point from that.

I liked the look of Quina, though he is very lightweight. I think he's certainly ready to play a part in the first team squad. He's a bit different from any other midfielders we have, not as combative but very skilful, tidy and quick. And we already know he has a long range goalazzo in him, which is good as...

OUR STRIKERS CAN'T SCORE.

Good lol at how hard Doucoure tried to mess up his goal as well.

Deulefeu looked good when coming in from the right, maybe one day we'll see him start on the wing again.

Everton away next then. We... go again?

 

Shop window?

 

Deeney is so poor. Hate when he’s in the starting line up. And even worse Success was garbage. I’m now left to pin my hopes on Gray or Okaka. How did we end up with this utter garbage up front after 4 years of premier league cash???

 

That's depressing. They are *****.

 

Wonderful plucky performance from our Championship players against them. Just think, we'll play them twice a season if we get promoted.

Ref cost us again by not giving that clear handball. Shameful.

And the time wasting by City, against a Championship side. Sad!

 

We just need to consolidate and get established for a few years then we'll be signing big names.

 

I absolutely hate watching us play very good teams when they outplay us. I’d rather watch us play some unfancied side with no star players any day of the week. So i wasn’t watching thinking ooh I love how good man effin city are.....BUT they made us look poor in parts because not only are they so effin good with the ball they are also one of the best without it. That game was pretty much what I expected to see. So 2-1 is unfortunately better than most of us expected and at least we were in it until the final whistle. Fairly pointless talking about individual performances today.

 

The commentator on my stream actually called us "the plucky challengers" within the first minute of kickoff

 

Holebas made Mahrez look like a £65m player...he needs to be dropped, I'm sick of his sh1t.

Doucoure was awful

Chalobah was awful

Forgot Perreyra was playing...awful...however he scored against Arsenal 2 years ago and against Chelsea in both games so gets a free pass.

Delofeu...thinks he's better than he actually is

Success....awful

Deeney should have scored, only started winning when Kompany went off

Foster...excellent.

Thought the defence (apart from Holebas) did well considering they had feck all protection from the midfield and the left back.

Hate the commentators...*******...hate Man Sh!tty...this is the way of modern football and how the Champions League has decimated domestic football..good players are happy to sit on the bench or in the stands, pick up their millions with a team in the CL rather than play for lower teams. Wish they'd all feck off to their European Super League and let us start again.

 

According to Ian Darke you don’t love football and you have no soul.
