Thought we were a bit flat in the second half.
Sounds like pessimistic stadium ITK.
Don’t mention that given that our next game was supposed to be the first in the new ground.
Poch’s Game management still needs work.
1-0 lead and Dembele looks knackered. Dele playing shite. Doesn’t make a change until we fall behind.
Then when we’re chasing the game we bring on a CM, a left back and an invisible man in Llorente. I say invisible not as a slight on him but on the team, whenever Llorente comes on we stop putting crosses in the box. They realise he’s the Spanish Crouch don’t they??
We’re seeing it already. 1 injury in CM and we’re short of bench options. 2 absences in AM and we’re short of bench options. The pundits are bang on with us, our best XI can beat anyone, our squad depth is the worse than our top 4 rivals and it shows today. Don’t give me the Son and Lamela aren’t there, we needed at least 1 AM/CM and got neither.
Back to a back 4 for Liverpool.
Dier to partner Dembele.
Son, Eriksen and Moura in behind Kane. Dele can ride the pine for a while.

My thoughts:
Dele was not good enough today. Ponderous and indecisive. Drop him for Son.
Kane looks a bit off the boil but then he always does when he doesn't get good service.
Don't get some of the hate for moose. I thought the free kick that led to the first goal was hugely unfair and was a foul on him. Feel free to correct me.
We got bullied. Our players were looking for fouls that weren't called.

The future is bright, the futures lilywhite. Just wait and see when this team matures.
Thought Watford played well, we were well below par, shambolic even if I am completley honest.
Massive shoutout to the referee for being utterly shit, almost has a whiff of the Leicester season about it where they could crawl over every cunt on the pitch and never get a decision against them.

I'll do my melting and then recharge and go again. As per usual. Hopefully the players do the same.
My point about a sports psychologist stands. Poch is great but he can't do absolutely everything. All big teams have someone like that on the payroll
There's not really much to say. Hugely disappointing performance but I suppose something we tend to throw up after a really good one the week before.
They're like a good old fashioned Tony Pulis team (Stoke and WBA before they got shit). Strong work ethic and loads of power throughout the team.
We got outmuscled today, fair play to Watford.
Winks, Jan and Dele played well, the others all looked out of sorts.
Another season of missed opportunity.
Yep very much so.
We stopped battling or we lost battles we should not have lost.
I can't even blame anyone because they were all so average it was untrue.
Eriksen is yet to have a good game this season which was fine when we were winning, Dembele gave the ball away too often and all round we were just unable to impose our game. Watford played to their script and we helped write their lines. And Kane and Alli are slipping into believing the hype.
Such a fcuking let down.,

Still after nearly 5 years at the club?
Bruh, Watford has shown in the 4 games that they are not the likes of Brighton and Palace. They have a solid squad right now that is obviously playing well. We didn’t react when they had their foot on the gas and it bit us in the ass.
Do we? I think that might just be confirmation bias my man.
I didn't think that... it looked like the players did though.
yeah, the league
