Hey look, they're pressing and creating mistakes!

Unfortunately 'they' are Watford

 

[RFUS]

They have some decent players, like. Really splurged for a newly promoted team.

 

[Abraders]

when barkley is meant to hold on to the ball and look to run because there is no options, he makes a [Poor language removed] pass. every time,

 

[ftk43]

this is what you get for not signing players before the season starts

 

[DualityNSNO]

They don't even bother chasing the ball - they know that they can just sit in our half and watch us do [Poor language removed] all.

Boss that.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Thank god I couldn't make this.

 

[Billy Dean]

Maybe losing will be a blessing in disguise. Might persuade kenwrong to give bobby some money to spend

 

[flibbyflob]

This is so dire like last season was. No pace, no movement, just square pass after square pass.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

I'd rather have the hangover I had this morning back, than put up with this tripe..........

 

[Huyton Layne]

Winning the passes though lads 150-72

 

[Saint Domingo]

Okay, it's going to be one of those games where their keeper saves everything and then never turns up again for the rest of the season

Saves everything? He's had one header from a corner to tip over. It's going to be one of those games like all of them last season where we create sweet FA.

 

[StatesideBlue3]

The is ever so slightly shifting in our favor. I'm still optimistic.

No mate it wouldn't be.

Is it me or has Martinez dropped one here, he would have had at least 24hrs to plan a team with no Baines, who when Martinez usually sends his teams out is the only width offered on the left of his teams. Even with wingers fit last season we only ever saw one at a time, now my point is Cleverley and Galloway offer nothing going forward on the left, so if it had to be a CB at LB surely Oviedo, who has s bit of pace and a left foot could have gone ahead of him. That way Cleverley could have gone CM and Barry could sit on the bench.

Agreed to work today so following on my phone. BBC said it was failure to deal with an easy cross that lead to the goal? Sounds familiar.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
