Surely Perica is a poor choice in gale conditions. He won’t be getting in the end of any crosses. Surely slick passes along the flier was the way to go with Pedro?
I thought Wilmot looked vulnerable against Blackburn's tricky right-wing work; I think he's better as an out-and-out centre back.
Can only think he is not 90mins fit yet. Agree though, and Chalobah really needs to up his game today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, for sure, but despite our good defensive record this season, only WTE is what I would consider the complete package
Sad seeing that little clip of the 3-0 win at theirs last season, my God how I'd love us to have some of those players in the team...
Consoling myself with the thought that the Muff back three has an error or 4 in it. Over to you Isma!...no pressure lad.
Same old Bournemouth always cheating. How Billing is on the pitch is amazing. One attempted elbow that connected with Perica. Another rake of the studs across the top of Tom's left thigh. The referee is a complete joker.
This. Walking a real tightrope having put in a few niggly challenges. How Bournemouth have got away with some of their challenges going unpunished I really don’t know. They could have been down to 9 if VAR was in use.
Ref is weak as piss which always seems to the case v Muff. Think Mike Dean was ref when we beat the 3-0 last time - no coincidence as he doesn't take any of their ****
I guess the Muff penalty will come in the second half along with our red card. They are thugs which is a shame because when they play they move the ball really well. Let's hope we escape without any serious injuries. Need to get King Ken more involved. Not a great day for the Chabs haters so far. Fortunate to be leading but equally Muff should have less than 12 on the pitch.
Garner needs to calm down. He could be off SH, and Ivic needs to sort his head out. Muff diving and fouling as pet usual. We lead but I'm very concerned with how much of the ball we consistently give away. S Lankey or whatever his name is looks a real threat. We need to buckle down and keep our cool. Capoue on now, cannot risk a red card early second half.
Great goal. Get JG off before he's sent off. They should be down to nine. Filthy challenges on Freddie and TC.
Appears incapable of jumping off the ground to challenge for headers, but a tidy finish. Reminds me a lot of Geijo, in that he just seems a bit too slow for English football.
Funny enough, I was thinking the same early on, I wonder if he is worried about jumping with his arms after getting set off before, just seems odd.
I've been moaning about the lack if entertainment all season, but I'm really enjoying this one. Not used to hear commentators raving about Watford's defending - or pundits (though not the ref) not falling for Muff's antics.
How are we at 80 mins in Bournemouth still got 11 players on the pitch!? Kelly could have gone twice! Billings also
It's as well that over-physical Watford have only got Wycombe on Tuesday after being roughed up by the media darlings today.
