It's not easy to find a member of your own team when all 11 opposition players are in the box.

Ah jaysus though son was dreadful today until that
I think he's (justifiably) worried about being too leaky in pursuing more goals.
We looked very good attacking Liverpool, but we conceded 2 goals. We have barely conceded one in most of our other league games.
We really need a midfielder who can be trusted to chip in defensively and pass forward well.
Playing them 3 times this month. And Woolwich. We will learn a lot about this team and Conte by February.
Ha ha whooooshhh
Complete disagree with him.
Is Woolwich going to play a total low block with 11 behind the ball like watford did?
No? They’re going to setup to try and dice directly through our midfield and we’ll play a siege midfield press and see if we can counter? Oh, then it’ll be a 100 percent different match than this weekends 2 and these have absolutely no bearing on it at all…
Do you trust our midfield though? We have seen Leeds waltz through.
Agree.... remember Thames Valley Royals idea he dreamt up to try and merge Oxford Utd and Reading....?
I imagine he'd have tried something similar with us... North East London Utd merger with West Ham? awful, awful man!

Not completely, though I don’t think we’re totally outmatched. Certainly possible they’ll be successful.
But us not being able to easily unlock watfords tactics has no meaning on who will come out ahead in that one.
Just watched the game, my stream died after the medical emergency was stabilised (I'll take that, out of the two options, obviously). Was sure it would end 0-0. Well done the boys for trying till the end!
Round of applause for Hugo, Ben, Oli and Dav (who I thought was decent again, and for his goal of course).
Props I suppose to Harry, PEH and Reg.
I'm guessing that in-match people were moaning about the subs, I can see that. I'd rather Gio (good to see him back on the pitch, added a bit of a spark from what I saw) had come on instead of Winks but hey ho, it worked out.
Concerns:
Emerson, given the space he was given throughout, he never "asked questions of the defence" if you'll pardon the descent into pundit speak.
Sonny's general form. I thought he was our weakest forward today, until his cracking assist.
In short, awful game, great result. I'll take that.

He owned Derby as well didn’t he. Thank goodness Sugar and Venables got along for the five minute to buy the club when they did.
There was a decent period in that first half where city couldn’t get out from under them. I’m not saying it’s going to happen but if it does happen to us we crumble
Sugar was still a cunt though
At least a yellow for the wrestling.....it wouldn't have changed the game but at least it would have looked as though he cared. That is the most incompetent exhibition by a ref I can remember. Even the pundits were calling it! That guy should be hauled over the coals by the FA and sent to the championship. He has no business in the PL.
Gets to a point where you lose count
The first chairman I can remember being "an issue" was Scholar, in the sense that in the 70s no one gave much of a monkeys about them across the board. They were names in the programme and not much more.
I've disliked all of them since then and expect too all my life.
We played better v Liverpool than they did v City. Fuck them. They should've drawn, we should've won like 5-2 v Liverpool...
Not as down as some are about the performance but it wasn't pretty. Watford were fucking dreadful and it's not football that anyone wants to watch. I think we've got a serious problem with the wingbacks. Emerson was really really bad. Every single cross hitting the first limb. Reguilon no better. Also we are crying out for a signing in the middle of the park who can thread a pass. Come February we cannot see any combination of Pierre winks Skipp unless it's away at city or Liverpool. Sick to fucking death of it
