    Staggering by the ref to give a free kick to them there.

    I know 0-2 down at home is a nightmare scenario, but we plaued well first half. Watford were clinical and we defended a little bit **** for the first goal, second was a freak goal.

    We need some luck, and to sack Joselu and play a ****ing striker... or a footballer even, that'd be a start. He's got the composure of ACS alone and near a naked and bound Chris Evans...

    The last two games we've been looking so vulnerable on the counter attack. We seem to be defending much higher up the pitch than we did earlier in the season.

    We could have been free-falling in league one like Sunderland right now but instead we're losing to an on-form Watford int Prem. Perspective!

    This long speculative balls to the strikers thing isn't working. Time for plan B (if there is one).

    Come on Rafa, make the changes whilst there is still enough time for the subs to get into this game.
    I love Rafa, but boy he is one stubborn cuss

    Sorry to say it because I like him but Ritchie is a bang average footballer.

    Think I'm the last person to fall out of the 'Joselu defender camp' because that is literally all he is, I reckon lascelles would look more potent. I do think his confidence looks shot but it's irrelevant, we haven't got time to wait for it improve

    Agreed. Mitrovic is rough and a terrible finisher, but he does lift the team a bit and has a lot more presence. Most importantly, though, he is more likely to score, if we only count occasions when the goal is scored as a result of direct intention... Joselu is a miss-kick carnival.

    We don't look like scoring in a month of Sundays.

    3-0. Well done lads.

    Anyone want to offer some protection for the centre backs?

    We need lascelles back. I've totally underestimated the value of his mentality to this team.

    Really poor defending. Nobody working back, nothing the centre backs or Elliot could do.
