For a rotational position system, we look very static tonight.
Results in us giving the ball away too easy and too often.
It might be the heat, but we look a yard or two off where we need to be, against an organised team.

Take Sarr and Pedro out of this Watford team and they do look average.
This Watford team look average.
But after watching their previous 2 games they look the sort of side that can sendyou to sleep and then pinch something. This match should be won but could be lost.

I think we may have reigned it in a bit tonight. Pragmatic decision given on paper it’s one of the hardest games of the season.

That centre half has fouled Ash every time they've gone for a ball, and he's getting nothing from the ref.
I know he has history, but this is sad.

It's not a change of players, but an upping of the tempo that's needed.

I can't say we don't deserve that, because despite possession we've been so wasteful with it.

Loads of the ball but absolutely no penetration. Pedestrian, Howe-era esque style passing for passings sake thus far.

Watford deserve to lead and we need to start playing at a far, FAR higher tempo.

A disappointing half. Far too slow, predictable with absolutely zero outlet. Needs a big improvement if we're to get anything here, fear where a goal is coming from.

VK will give them a roasting after that. They look really sluggish, several times different players not alert to movement around them or half heartedly chasing down. Very poor so far.

Probably most people thinking it's going ok but lacks cutting edge. Then they score and you think we've been rubbish. Look nowhere near scoring.

We are just too static in the final third. We do the hard part and then it stalls completely with a lack of attacking movement in the final third. Watford are there for the taking, but we have to start making this possession count.
