Harsh to say but us losing control of the game has coincided with the substitution...

Inaccurate to say, because it started before the substitution if we are honest.

Really noticeable how much faster they are than us, happens every time we play them they just get around the pitch so much quicker which crowds out any of our attacks and intercept so many of our passes with their speed. They're also extremely dirty and masters of the dark side of the game which throws us off our game.

They're a horrible team to play against and just so wrong for us, they're really good at every aspect we're weak in.

Until the sub we were matching them all over the pitch. Totally ceded control since that point.

I think Pierre Lees-Melou has gone in more aggressive actually and has gone in worse. I think he is lucky! He has come away with it worse off but he came in high. I feel for Emmanuel Dennis.
 

just wow - wtaf?!

She isn't far wrong. Had Lees-Melou not won the ball, he'd have been off, no doubt about it.

Desperate stuff. Like a switch has been flicked.

 

What options do we have for the 2nd half if Kenny stays on? A change of formation? To what and how? Smith will be earning his money if we take a point from this.

We look a complete and utter rabble.

A win would offer little hope for the rest of the season.

Shame, as we were controlling the game until the substitution. 

We've looked terrible since then.

We're back to looking so vulnerable every time someone runs at us.  The central midfield is just so soft but we don't have any other option unless we fancy trying Kabak in there?

Survived the half, but some sandbagging has to be done with that midfield. What is clear is that, no matter their merits as players, McLean and Lees-Melou don't combine well at all.

Sörensen and Lees-Melou was looking a really tidy unit.

We just look like a pub team with McLean just walking about, hiding from play and waving his arms! We looked like a team until McLean came on. Now the whole of midfield  has vanished!

Unbelievable the difference the forced sub has made to that game. All us for 20 minutes then we lose Sorenson for McLean and we're a different team.

Is Sorenson that good? Or is McLean that bad?

A two man midfield with Kenny in it is a disaster.

one of these teams has three new signings playing who look quick a strong,

The other is having a “quiet window” and has fallen apart after the midfielder we didn’t play all season had to go off injured. 
 

Some magic from Smith needed.

Pukki has been dreadful to be fair, Idah and Rashica anonymous too

Very difficult for them to do anything when the midfield can't get a foot on the ball though- right now they are feeding on absolute scraps.

The hate for McLean on this forum is a disgrace. 

We were back peddling as Watford went up a gear with sorenson on. 

You're a bunch of absolute morons. 

I think you should go back to your Bill persona, far more believable than Fishboy... 👍

Not saying we will be very lucky to get away with a point nevermind three with how we have played.. but

 

Also why is Sargent playing right back more often than aarons? One of Aarons worst games in a while been almost invisible and looked pub leuage anytime Watford players have dribbled past him with ease

The latter, he's an utter shambles at this level

Shows they are desperate. We just need to hang in there and we will get some chances.

Missing the point entirely that he did and wasn’t - you could say the same about any challenge anywhere.  Dennis is lucky to be on the pitch after that dive straight after.
