Watford FC 0- AFC Bournemouth - 06/10/2018

On another day we win that easily

 

We go again!

 

We go again

 

Let’s see if he did.

 

Bournemouth have played the same way for years now. Fast fowards, attack down the wings by overloading the full backs. We countered this with our classic 4-2-2-2 narrow formation and got ourselves outnumbered all over the pitch.

We couldn't pass at all, even when it was just 1-0 we couldn't get anything going other than trying to hit it long to Deeney. Javi should've changed it before we even gave away the penalty.

He can't be held responsible for players just going out there and being idiots but his lack of reaction to the sending off was concerning.

Big chance to shake things up now. We started 4-2-2-2 due to the players available at the start of the season. Be interesting to see if we ditch it now we have other options.

 

Fair play to Bournemouth.

Let’s move on - were better than us even when had 11 on field let alone 10

Let’s move on and forget that

 

I was in line with Kaba and Begovic and it was never a booking. But Begovic in true Muff fashion made the most of it

 

We go again

 

We were dominating up until the sending off even at 1-0 down I felt like we were the better team and there was no chance Bournemouth were going to keep a clean sheet, then we get done by CK's stupidness and have to go chasing the game with 10 men whilst being 2-0 down against a team well capable on the counter. 4-0 did flatter Bournemouth but fair play they took their opportunities at the Right times. You can't fault Javi before today but he should have made the Hughes for Mariappa substitution as soon as we went down to 10 men. I am not going to look into this too much it was one of those days and every team will experience it at some point Bournemouth did just the other week at Burnley, it's vital that we bounce back straight away and avoid a slump.

 

Time for a change up. Similar to when we had Ighalo and Deeney, teams have sussed out the way we play. We have players back now and with the 2 week break, all of our players that are currently available should be fit.

Kabasele and Holebas will both be out of the Wolves games so Masina will be in. I’m hoping we bring in Wilmot for Kabasele.

 

Rolling on the ground in agony whenever they were beaten. Smith twice and Lerma in the last few minutes. Both recovered immediately after the restart. And the timewasting after the goal celebrations, ambling back to their own half

 

Jonathan Moss is a grade A ****

 

That's more like it, back to reality. Moss was blowing out his arse snorkel after their first goal, he showed no continuity kaba's cards were soft and he was just awarding the pen until cook started moaning. Hopefully it's a blessing and a kick up the arse and we respond just like muff have after there 4-0 drubbing. Just as you start looking at the fixture list and believe we have the potential to put some points on the board. Gracia should of brought Mapps on when kabasele went off, it might of kept the score down Mapps certainly would not of allowed Wilson to walk in for that forth.

 

It's only a game. Feel sorry for Deeney who will be depressed & binge eating tonight.

 

I think it was even most of the way through the game. Even 10 v 11. Just decision making and key moments were missing at exactly the wrong moments in the game leaving us climbing through mud up a mountainside with moccasin slippers on.

Bournemouth certainly not worth the diatribe praise theyll get on MOTD and Watford not as bad as 0-4 home reverse may suggest.

 

So Bournemouth score their first goal and the utter tool of a ref saunters slowly back to the halfway line having a laugh and a joke with their players. How is this fat c*** allowed to get away with this sh*t week after week?

 

Not just Deeney

 

I don't. He's going home in his ferrari to bang his new model gf.

 

An absolute disaster really. Javi needs to take criticism. At the time of the red just bring Maps on. It was really a simple decision to make. Then to not even make the change at HT was ridiculous.

 

Bang on.

It's bonkers to waste a spot playing Deeney and Gray together, they don't add up to one decent premier league striker between them. It's criminal to do that and leave a fit Chalobah on the bench.

We all know how Bournemouth play, except I assume Gracia who appeared to have done exactly zero research. It was plain stupid to line up in our narrow 442 and get overloaded... as was obvious what would happen.

Then when it's obvious Cathcart and Kabasele were struggling from the start... to do sweet FA about it. Gracia seems incapable of reading games and making changes - Utd, Fulham, Bournemouth.... Leaving Mapps on the bench and putting Capoue in defence? What was that all about?

So much wrong it's hard to know where to start. Unless something is done this season has scrape over the line with 40 points written all over it. Criminal considering the quality in the squad.

 

I disagree with many on here, I thought we were doing ok, and probably the better team until their breakaway goal. Then, I thought (from the view from behind the goal) that Kabesele got the ball and it shouldn't of been a penalty. But, others seem absolutely certain he didn't touch the ball so I am probably wrong on that incident.

Then after being reduced to one CB, with three subs available, why on earth didnt we get Maps on, for heavens sake? Both the next goals were due to Kabesele missing, and then Capoue not doing CB marking job like a CB should.

Thereafter we were not good, but I thought there was still plenty of effort, just nothing went right for us, and the referee just gave us nothing and gave Muff everything. He was shocking. We also should have made changes far more quickly, it is probably the one aspect of JG's coaching that annoys me.

The play acting from the Muff players was just disgraceful, even when 4-0 up, it was embarrassing.

This was by far our worse performance this season, but we were due one. It follows three games where we played well enough to get something. I'm not worried, but I just wish that JG would adapt to what is actually happening on the pitch.

 

Watford are the most overrated team in the league

 

We were winning every game til Hornetboy1 came back... Not exactly bringing luck to us, can mods ban him please?

 

Would not feel sorry for Deeney. He be shagging a model tonight

 

Don’t think he was laughing. He was trying to get his oxygen mask on

You are right. The game was even and arguably we were the better team even at 1 down. Amd you are right about Javi needing to adapt to how the game is going.

When you see the highlights though you will see it was a second yellow for Kaba. Thats the only thing you are wrong about here which is understandable if you were at the game

 

Disagree - thought they looked fitter and stronger. There strikers were far better than we have

 

Bournemouth being one for starters

 

I didn't see an even game before they scored, we spent 10 minutes huffing and puffing and not really getting anywhere, they were organised, sharp, quick into the tackle, and had 2 or 3 really quick dangerous breaks.

 

And who the f**k are you?

 

*your

 

That was all they had though. You can say we should have seen it coming but I'm not buying the bournmouth were tremendous guff about the muff.

 

Wow, Utd 0 newcastle 2 after 10 minutes
