Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted February 29, 2020 Just our luck, the one week things go our way in our own game, all the teams around us pick up points and Liverpool who haven’t lost a game in about 10 years somehow manage to lose to WATFORD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 29, 2020 We are a point nearer 17th and all clubs from 15th downwards know they are well and truly in the race to escape. We are still just a result or two from being in that mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hampton canary 24 Posted February 29, 2020 Watford showed how to win well. They were tight at the back solid in midfield and electric up front. Farke should show our squad that video and say that is how you have to compete if you want to stay up. Every single Watford player closed the Liverpool players down, and when they broke, their only thought was to go forward; no sideways and backwards passes. They didn't mark spaces and let runners go, they kept with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted February 29, 2020 Liverpool were dire without Henderson. That’s as surprising to me as everything this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Buh 3,432 Posted February 29, 2020 I just want to see some effort and some good moments. I’ve accepted we are down a while back so I just want them to look like they care. Last night was great, let’s have some more of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vos 155 Posted February 29, 2020 Watford are nothing special but their performance this evening highlighted why we are in trouble. When they gained possession they attacked in numbers and with PACE. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted February 29, 2020 Watford like most Premier League teams are loaded with bloody good players, and their results are as much as anything down to form, confidence and focus. Today they shows how good they can be. I was disappointed but not shocked by what happened. Look at Everton, when we played them they were a shambles and potential relegation candidates, not now.

K Lo 224 Posted February 29, 2020 We only lost 1-0 to Liverpool the other week. A very slightly different set of circumstances and that could have been a Norwich win, just like the Man City game could have easily been a Norwich loss. Losing to most of the clubs around us has been our undoing so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Scott 244 Posted February 29, 2020 Liverpool have been poor for weeks. The Watford manager picked the right 11 players and told them to have a go. As such they got the result they deserved. Our manager did neither and we got the result we deserved. K. Scott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,502 Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Whenever I've seen Watford this season I've been impressed by their individual players, most being blessed with more pace, power, athleticism & what I might call 'springiness' than ours. However they were usually totally disorganised, that's why they were bottom. Pearson has given them some organisation & self-belief. I think it's more likely teams like Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton, West Ham (& obviously us) are going to be relegated. One team that could still get dragged into the clarts I reckon is Newcastle. Every time I've seen them they've been rubbish. Edited March 1, 2020 by ron obvious 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say it was mostly down to their severe injury crisis, which in terms of numbers and duration was worse than ours and included having their talisman Deeney missing for months. Imagine how bad it would look for us if Pukki was out for those first few months. Their turnaround started with the return of Deeney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 224 Posted March 1, 2020 Watford didn't seem to be playing particularly attractive football. Just seemed like hit 'n hope hoofball. Still, if that keeps them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How they’ve spawned their way to 32 points is a mystery and unfortunately it means they probably only need two wins to be out of reach for us but would not surprise me at all if they barely won another game. Not winning there and losing at Villa in games we dominated are two results that will cost us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted March 1, 2020 We can’t expect all the results to go our way. Watford and West Ham are the most likely candidates to escape given the quality of their squads. We need Brighton, Bournemouth and Villa to finish below us and we’ve gained points on all of them. Newcastle look dire but if they’re being dragged into it, I think we’re doomed!
