Could`ve been safe at Watford

Could`ve been safe today

Palace is THE biggest game of the season, if we dont win there it will be a three way battle on the last day of the season, really don`t want to get involved in that because we will be going!

Bottling it all the way to the Championship..... FFS

can’t fault the players, we were absolutely battering these before the red card

[Blue 1]

Worried again now.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

But it did and he was last man, I know what you’re saying but shirt pulls go on in every match and aren’t given unless you’re a top 4 team.

Little shirt tugs happen all the time. Nearly having the thing hauled off your back in direct view of the “referee” do not.

 

[Davideeyore]

Dreadful effort from the players. You know what ever happens there must be a clearout. The sum total of the team
is piss weak.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Where are these 2 points going to come from?

Who says we need 2 points?

 

[Daz1878]

Amazing how some teams play like it's a cup final in these "meaningless" games and others phone it in.

Yep let's hope the Bees are in equally heroic form against Leeds in a week's time

Michael Oliver's bank account needs looking at the absolute cheat. That was disgraceful "refereeing". We were absolute coasting that until Oliver decided he wasn't happy with that.

 

[Saaby]

Correct result against Watford and the dynamics of this game would have been so different.

Shame Lampard was happy with a point there.

 

[II McColl II]

About as bad a second half performance and coaching as you'll likely see.

Ignore the fact they shouldn't have had 11 on the pitch at the start of the 2nd half, we basically played like we had 8 players from the 45th minute. No desire to engage, no desire to counter, no desire to try and play.

Ripped to pieces between 45-60 minutes and not one hint of a change either tactically or via a sub.

Just absolutely awful.

 

[Tommy Chong]

The first red was not a red, because the challenge should never have happened if the ref had done his job.

What’s the point of having VAR if not for that exact situation?! That tit ref couldn’t even wait to pull that red card out.

 

[bigboy]

Sickening absolutely sickening corruption

 

[Fansince1988]

20 mins with 10 men was doable but 70 tbh impossible, he was a fool making that challenge. They should have been down to 10 men I do feel we were cheated today.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I realise I’m a broken record at this point but Watford was 3pts on a plate. We played it safe, banking on home games and we’ve just blown the first of those.

A loss at Arsenal is inevitable, so now we have to beat Palace. Lucky we seem to perform really well under pressure…

 

[Bluerover]

That's our problem. Where the money was wasted.

It's why they can't play as a team unless they absolutely have to.

Today they absolutely had to but didn't
