    Where the feck are Januzaj and Pereira?

    Looking at the bench and the only forward option is Lingard, fml.

    Have you got an email account with your home internet provider? If so, you may be able to use it even though you're away at college. I can log on to NBC at work and at home so it may work for you.

    Am I watching Manchester United or a Championship team? Mata needs to be fecking dropped, he is too scared to cross a ball. Does nothing with the ball and rolls over when attacked by a defender.

    You realize he will probably score now right? ;p
     
    We're woeful and I barely find it affecting me also. Strange what the Van Gaal era has done

    I thought we would be 10-0 up by now.

    Still 45 mins for Rashford to get a goal. Lets face it, thats what we all want :lol:
     
    Really strange playing Martial on the right. He's just wasted out there.

    Also Blind is having an absolute shocker when we needed him most. :lol:

    You need to be dropped. Have you seen him in the last few games? One of our best players. 45 minutes where the whole team is poor and he needs to be dropped, have a word.

    You need to be dropped
     
    This is dumb. As expected, Liverpool are turning over City (who didn't think they would?) so it's onto you Louis. Prove your worth. Inspire some sort of comeback. some upturn. a change. something. Because we absolutely MUST win this game
     
    Typical of LVG, play well against the stronger sides.

    But can't sort out the weaker opposition.

    Again we are making our opponents look better than they really are.

    Jesus Christ, 3 good games and everyone rubs it as a fluke, one poor half and we're 'back to normal'. Cop on ffs it's just a bad half. Talk about being back to normal once we've lost 3 straight games playing poorly, knee jerk galore.

    1 good game, 1. Even if it was 3 this is normal service compared across our entire season.
     
    The Wind looks to give the players alot of problems.. Still we're looking a bit like headless chickens out there. I would take Memphis out and put Lingard in on the right.

    My dorm has cable with NBC on it so I don't really have an email account registered.
     
    I don't know why people are complaining about Lingard when we have been much better all season with him on the field. Martial should play on the left, I still can't see Memphis' appeal.
     
    Jeez the reactions are a bit excessive. TFM playing his first start and a midfielder in CB too. Our defence is going to be a bit shit. Although we should have attacked better.

    This is happening because Watford are pressing us when we have the ball and when we get in their half they park the bus. What needs to happen is we need to get that few quick passes from our half into theirs and get on the break- the players need to be sharper in their passing so we can get out of our half and score. If that happens Watford will be unsettled, they won't park the bus when we are in their half and they'll be more open; allowing us to play a more attacking game and potentially get more goals.

    This first half has been understandably shaky, Schneiderlin has been our best player along with De Gea (surprise). They just all need to calm down and think about what they are doing first. Perhaps it will help later on to get a midfielder on so that we can win the midfield battle, which could calm the game down and get us some ball time.
     
    Looking decidedly nervous throughout the team really. We so have to win this game, so I can understand it; missing a leader out there perhaps? I'd be tempted to bring on Carrick at half time.

    Two of them games were against Shrewsbury and some Danish part-timers. The anomaly is the fact that we played well for a couple of games, not the other way around.
     
    We really need to step it up. Results going our way so far elsewhere. Martial doesn't look himself on the right.
     
    Martial at right not at all working .

    Mata & to an extend herrera not doing anything

    Blind has a half to forget
     
    For the first twenty minutes I thought it might just be down to TFM and Martial on the right.

    But as the game's gone on, it's looking more and more that the players have almost surely been told to go back to the whole possession/philosophy thing.
     
    To be fair: what can you expect from a defense consisting of Varela, Mensah, Blind and a Rojo that has been injured for ages?

    Blind disappoints me. I've always felt that he was an underrated CB, but it's clear as day that he needs someone like Smalling to survive defensively.
     
    Still think we can do much better in the second half with pretty much all the same players. They played a strong pressing game at a high tempo, which they shouldn't be able to do all match. If we get more time and space on the ball we should look a lot better, plus some of the players just need to start going for it a bit more. I'd be tempted to switch things around a bit up front, at least let Memphis and Martial try changing positions
     
    What would happen if we finish 4th, City 5th and they win the Champions League?
     
    Whose chant are the watford fans singing? We got...... I just dont think you understand... to the tune of Payet and Ozil?

    Look at our team, we are the weaker side...
     
    Martial has to play on the left.

    Our defence should not be so sloppy with our passes - we're lucky to still be 0-0 and West Ham and Liverpool are both winning so we need to win this game.

    We need to win this as City are losing against Pool. If we win this and City lose then we are 1 point behind.

    Actually we will be level. City will have a game in hand though.
     
    To be fair Watford have worked their socks off all game, they simply cannot sustain that level of pressing throughout the game. Our chances will come we just have to take them when they do.

    Don't say that, there's 2 new boys on the block. Go with the flavour of the month. I mentioned it earlier and got slated for it.
