That midfield trio of McTominay, Fred and Lingard is an absolute killer. No one can play a pass. Incredible

Josep Dowling · Dec 22, 2019

McTominay is determined to give the ball away today.

Ramshock · Dec 22, 2019

get rashford off ffs

Drifter · Dec 22, 2019

Just watch us come alive in the second half.

RedNed77 · Dec 22, 2019

I just feel we’re still lacking that bit of quality in the final third. Replacing Lingard with Pogba would fix this. We need the lad fit again.

Prodigy24 · Dec 22, 2019

This reminds me of that garbage match against Everton.

ValenciasDrilledCrosses · Dec 22, 2019

Do we get players in the box on corners just for illusory purposes? Never seen one of them attack a ball in my life

Godfather · Dec 22, 2019

That's even worse than Everton Arsenal yesterday

Dribbled past a defender and put Lingard through. Lovely touch to James to put him in space out wide. What has anyone else done?

He’s also given the ball away every other time he’s gotten the ball. Isn’t moving, isn’t showing for passes.

Yeah, you never see any of those intricate moves where 3 players are all on the same wavelength and have the same aim

"express yourselves"

We need to score to get Watford to move up the field more. We have zero threat against this low block.

Hardly low block

hobbers · Dec 22, 2019

It's fecking rich for Lingard to gesture for more urgency when he refuses to make any sort of positive movement when we're in possession.

This is a team who don't know how to move to find spaces and a team full of players who don't have the confidence or ability to pass it even when we do make runs.

Deery · Dec 22, 2019

It’s inevitable that Pogba will come on and score the winner

Mrs Smoker · Dec 22, 2019

I miss the red box, can we get it activated again?

Jazz · Dec 22, 2019

We're so slow at the back that we're telegraphing every move. Watford players have plenty of time to set up their defensive shape. Need to move the ball quicker.

Andycoleno9 · Dec 22, 2019

This would be completely different game if we have another creative midfielder or classic no10 instead of Lingard. This is like playing with 10 men

UncleBob · Dec 22, 2019

Pitch looks dry as feck

Lingard being such a busy player, makes it look like he is doing something useful, but the reality is that almost nothing he tries actually comes off.

His best moment was the body faint and not touching the ball so the ball went to Martial (who was offside). When Lingard is not touching the ball he is at his best... not a great trait for your most forward and 'creative' midfielder.

The Firestarter · Dec 22, 2019

So we mimic the level of the team we are playing against.

Nick7 · Dec 22, 2019

The red box was the most enjoyable thing about this game.

leontas · Dec 22, 2019

Very pedestrian and predictable so far. Rashford has not started well at all today. Lingard at no.10 makes no sense. Let’s hope we can bring Pogba in at that position in the second half.

More exciting than the game .For sure.

Nou_Camp99 · Dec 22, 2019

This could and probably will be the 27th PL game where Lingard has started and offered nothing.

People digging out Rashford. Where would we be without him? Lingard stealing a living.

Feed Me · Dec 22, 2019

We are mid table dross.

Indeed, they've shown equally as much intent to attack as we have, if not more so.

Irrational. · Dec 22, 2019

Greenwood deserves to be starting today.

BusbyMalone · Dec 22, 2019

As a team we just don't want the ball. You can see it in them when they're holding it. They're not comfortable with it, have no idea what to do when they have it and are just so hesitant in possession.

tonnas · Dec 22, 2019

yet again another shit performance so far

ManRed · Dec 22, 2019

Very sloppy first half hour. We are making Watford look good to be honest. Poor passing, poor hold up play and poor movement till now.
Shaw and AWB have been decent but rest has been meh.

The less he moves into positions we can pass the ball to the better. He is absolutely abysmal.

Gordon S · Dec 22, 2019

Our passing accuracy must be below 50% so far!

Rednotdead · Dec 22, 2019

If you didn't know, you'd be hard pressed to say which of these two teams is adrift at the bottom of the league.

GledTheRed · Dec 22, 2019

Nailed on for a 1-0 hike win this.

I fecking deserve to be starting today based on what we've seen so far.

Godfather · Dec 22, 2019

Our fullbacks simply remove to do anything going forward.

17Larsson · Dec 22, 2019

What was the plan going into the game today?
Surely they had figured out a good way of getting at Watford and would have been told to go at that particular plan from kick off?

Or did they just realise who they were playing when they got off the bus?

Jazz · Dec 22, 2019

Even a half fit Pogba should have more to give than Lingard

DWelbz19 · Dec 22, 2019

Struggling to control midfield against the 20th placed side in the league.
