we will open the game bossing possession, moving the ball around nicely, and generally dominating them, but in 30 minutes we create just a solitary chance, which we shockingly fail to convert. then in first half stoppage time, watford punt one long; it bounces off Barry's head towards Funes Mori, who lunges wildly and misses; whereupon Stekelenberg comes out to collect but somehow drops it onto an oncoming Deeney, who groins it in for the all-too-likely unlikely opener.
in the second half, Barkley comes on and drives the ball forward before both A) dribbling around aimlessly while the move breaks down and then losing possession and falling over and B) smashing it from distance into row Z (for a Watford throw-in). then deulofeu comes on and performs A but not B. as we grow desperate our discipline breaks down and we hoof it ineffectually at Lukaku. he is never in the box when we launch crosses, and we never launch crosses when he is in the box. finally in the 89th minute, we equalize through sheer dumb luck and either A) hold on to the draw or B) concede again in stoppage time through sheerer, dumber luck, depending on whether the glass is half full or empty.
Gana is magnificent throughout the proceedings.
