Match Day Thread Watford FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 28th September 2024 - KO 15:00

WBA lost we need this to be a win

 

Agree

 

Response to the goal has been decent but that is the worst we've played this season.

You can't give players 30 yards of space at this level yet we are giving both their wing backs the freedom of the stadium, no surprise that their goal involved both of the wing backs. Not sure if the solution is having Cirkin and Hume higher or Mundle and Roberts deeper but something needs to change there.

Midfield is getting ran through and none of them are offering much in possession.

Really not a fan of Isidor out of possession. Doing none of the work Mayenda does. Looks pretty good on the ball though.

Work to do, must improve.

 

We are wide open.

 

Our midfield looked lethargic, first time this season

 

You're the same negative poster from RTG aren't you?
Rigg has been booted all over the pitch, Bellingham went for a header on inside the area from a cross and was wiped out below the waist, both have won the ball back and pressed forward to try to get us back into the game.

 

Tongue in cheek because as a team we’re doing very well so far this season, but has Dan Neil actually had a decent game yet? Seems to be our weak link at the minute not sure if it’s the new position or the responsibility of captain. I’d be tempted to give Aleksic the last half hour if we get no better.

 

Blame the kit

 

I honestly think this is how we played under Boro for large periods.

 

No. Lost every single tackle today. He isn't a CDM. Need Samed in too offer some actual ball winning ability.

 

Really poor half of football that. We looks miles off the pace and absolutely knackered. Desperate to get Browne & Samed fit.
Changes needed, whether that is personnel or attitude. Game is there for the winning IF we want it.

 

Not a great first half, been bullied quite a bit. Disappointing for the goal too. Still had our moments which is a positive, mundle is getting the better down his side and Roberts has had some space. Lost the midfield battle quite a bit I thought. Still think we’ve got a chance here

 

Don’t rate him in this position and to be fair to him I don’t see why there is an insistence to reinvent himself, he’s more 6/8 than 4 for me.

but we’ve got too many 8s and not enough 4s

 

No mate. I left that site many years ago.

I think we have been poor in the CM. No one is having a good game there. Getting bullied.

 

Decent team talk from Reggie and we can still win this.

 

We've been poor since the international break mate and look nothing like the team before it.

No idea why Le Bris has changed tactics but it's not been for the better!

 

Interesting half, we look off the pace but causing them problems as they are us.

Let's see what RLB does at half time to change it up

 

Nah we were good against Boro, the ball stayed in front of us. Not many instances of our defence being turned unlike today.

 

We can still win this or atleast take a point but we need to get at it we've been poor

 

that header for jobe, I don’t think enough was made of it

Danny said the defender did enough, he was nowhere near the ball and obstructed/caught jobe for me
