Bradwell canary 109 Posted September 18, 2021 Watford far more aggressive than us, in every dept. Oh for a Grant Holt in his prime, who would put himself about, and scare defenders into errors. We are still far too lightweight to succeed in the PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,382 Posted September 18, 2021 Different tactics and more physical players on midfield. Kenny was too small last time and still is. So is gilmour. Makes us easy to play against Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hanley well away from the starting 11 and Omobamidele to replace him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hepphep 175 Posted September 18, 2021 Left fullback who is better capable to defend and close down opponents from giving the final pass? If you compare that with how Max prevented freely taken final passes from his side, the difference is massive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow and Green 334 Posted September 18, 2021 For goals 1 and 2, it was just so easy for them. Kabak should own that header but Dennis just breezed in there. The second goal was embarrassing from start to finish. Jogging back, no urgency and again, their striker wanted it more - waltzing past our defence to slot it home. Our 'goals conceded' is ridiculous and we can't go on like this. It's simply embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clever Farke 63 Posted September 18, 2021 We need to be able to defend. Shocking ball watching again. Balance between attack and defence off. That second goal killed us and it was 100% preventable. Encouraging from Normann and Sarge. Service for Pukki coming from both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Greenthumb 742 Posted September 18, 2021 Strength. The three man midfield got bullied today. Normann was the best of the 3. Sissoko was a beast for them. But he “doesn’t fit our style” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Players who don't fit our style seem to be effective, it's a shame our style is allowing every team to outplay us so easily. Ajer cost a few million more than we were prepared to pay, yet Brentford looking solid in defence so far, whilst we still look a shambles, 4 seasons in with Farke! A shame we can't bring in a defensive coach! I'm a Farke fan, but he must be running out of time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
