[PL] Watford (A): Match Thread

[Ams12]

Bogdan should have done better with both goals. 1st one unlucky to have his hands kicked but still shouldn't have dropped it. 2nd he should have at least had his posts covered.
We're too slow in our attacking play, lallana wants a million touches. But it is hard when they have men back & less space for us to play in & around. It's easily cleared/blocked & then booted upfield. Watford can just sit back now & defend compactly.
We need some decent long shots this 2nd half & some quick play around their box. Not lallana as he more often than not misses the target with his long shots. Cout is our best option but even he can be 50/50 with his.
Not sure what we can do to overturn the 2 goal deficit but it's gonna take a miracle in 45 minutes!

Dark forces are afoot here.

Attack - ****

Midfield - Pathetic

Defence - Woeful

Goalie - He's getting paid for this?

No leadership, no desire, no ****ing idea. Spineless.

Good start.

I don't think that we can complain about the refs decision for the first goal, Sky saying Bogdan had it under control, but you can only see that from the slow motion replay, so you can't expect the ref to see it in real time. Bogdan only has himself to blame it should ave been a simple catch.

I'd forgotten Firmino was still playing. Lovely reminder.

[Exiled_red]

Moreno needs to put that across the six yard box there.

Edit: actually he slipped

Origi has been our best player.

'Full control'.....you're having a laugh Barnes.

I still think klopp has to take some of the blame. We have Benteke who scores most of his goals from crosses. Play him, get plenty of crosses in and either play him with a partner or get runners to support to pick up the pieces. Then in Jan bring in players to fit the preferred formation. It's about getting the most out of what you have now.

[McDermotX]

Oh, Derek

[Montana]

Much better

[Rigadon]

Attitude looks much better. Just need to improve quality

Problem is we don't have any attacking players that look to get crosses in, it's only the fullbacks that really cross the ball for him.

Firmino was onside there
