I'm not making excuses, far from it, but TC was way off the pace all game. Louza made a misplaced pass that went out of play. The ball was returned into play illegally... I don't expect most folks on here to understand all of the finer nuances of the laws but by jiminy I expect PGMO's especially and professional footballers and coaching staff to understand the laws of the game before they spout up. I hadn't spotted it at the time either but then it's not my job!
We have eleven matches left - at least three of which are 'gimmes' for the opposition. and, of the rest, five are at home where our record is abysmal. To be honest, I can't see us beating our low of 24 points in 1999/2000.
I'm much younger than both of you, but even for me, finishing 19th in the Premier League beats anything I saw Watford achieve until I was 30. It does help put some perspective on the current season.
Roy stating the obvious! https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/19973213.roy-hodgson-stupefied-watford-lose-arsenal/ I wonder if someone had told him what people were writing so he had some criticism to make himself ! Fans can very fickle and no doubt Louza hasn’t been a “fans favourite” all season . As usual in life most can be constrained and constructive in their views and I am sure Cleverley doesn’t need to be told he made an error but I have noticed some get quite toxic and personal. I guess it might be the stress and pain of not doing as well as some expected ?
Just watch MOTD. Absolutely no comment about Arteta running up the touchline a long way out of his area to retrieve the ball, deliberate or not the throw should have been retaken. As for Clevs he was slow but he received a mighty shove in the back rather than a shoulder barge and it was not even looked at by VAR. Said my piece. Thought Troy was very good analyst on the show, honest.
That's all we can do - sadly it won't get us anywhere. It just seems to me that the system is in some way corrupt - and pointless.
Would have been a lot of fuss had it been in a big 6 game or something I reckon. How come they didn’t show Dennis miss from basically 2 yards out?
Just as the Rugby tackle assault on Sarr at the Arse;s home game was not even checked we are not getting any crucial decisions our way On the balance of play we should have got a draw at West Ham, two draws from the Spuds and two draws from the Arse not to mention the wrongly disallowed goal at dirty Leeds and the blatant hand ball at Burley and the foul on Samir at home to Norwich When even Norwich and Burnley get decisions like that against us our luck is below rock bottom
