Strange grappling incidents. I always thought you weren’t allowed to hold on to a forward like that. With video reviews that could easily be a penalty.

A few times? I'll need to see some stats on it but it's looked like a fuckload to me, and 'some good some poor' is a very positive outlook since to me it's minimum 80% useless and maybe 20% somewhat dangerous, and even some of them are because of deflections.
Conte's wing backs are given LOADS of license to attack. Hakimi got 7 goals 8 assists in Serie A last season, we all remember how Marcos Alonso thrived under him as well. Conte's teams are definitely very structured and with little room for 'flair', but the total lack of threat from our wing backs is not a tactical issue, it's a personnel one.
Dier one was 50 times worse
Am ashamed to admit that I was one of those calling for him to be replaced at the time. But I still wanted to keep him.. but as a backup player in that position. Instead we have continually gone backwards in that area of the pitch since then : (
Who would you replace them with from the champo - that isn't also a nothing club?

We don’t need to play a back 5. If conte just showed some tactical flexibility. Especially when our WBs are crap. They are parking the bus a back 4 will do. Take of davies bring on tanguy and let son and moura stay wide.
This obsession with WBs is costing us as we don’t have the quality required. Same thing against soton. The other thing is he wastes a sun by replacing a WB for WB.

Absolutely dominating. Our tactical set up is on point. We look much better under Conte. Acres of space on the right hand side. If our defence can keep concentration they'll get a clean sheet today. We really dominated and they aren't offering much going forward.
Crossing hasn't been great, especially with the amount of time Emerson has been allowed (his first touch has been quality). Need to hit a few more to the back post rather than forcing it into the penalty spot. If we keep up this level they will eventually make a mistake that leads to an opening.
It's not free flowing football like we saw under Poch, but this is a huge improvement. Controlling away games against 'weaker opposition' is something we've not done in years.

They deserve to be relegated and stuck playing Millwall and Luton for the next half a decade.
For me perhaps the most annoying thing is that on the rare occasions when Watford have ventured into our final third, we've won the ball back easily, then calmed everything down and waited for them to get back into the tight shape. Why the fuck aren't we playing quick balls in those situations and counter-attacking? Even if the counter-attack itself doesn't achieve anything, the sudden change of pace in the game would shake things up a bit every 5-10 mins. It's all too easy for Watford at the moment, and when we do have opportunities to make it more difficult, we're not even trying to take them. Frustrating to watch. :/
Whilst I agree with this, we need to win this match today and Tanguy is available.
He’s more likely to create a goal than any other player on the bench; he has to come on.
It doesn’t mean he stays in Jan.
Agree but Emerson is a weak point.

Another post for you to disagree with
Just saying the game needs something different, not long term just today
