The Footie Thread

[Piece]

One for @Piece and any other Watford fans. Will Claudio make it until February? The results are bad, are the performances enough to save him? The owners aren't known for their patience, does he have long?

Any knowledgeable Watford fan will tell you the owners must invest in quality defenders. We’ve been crying out for years for this. Our lot just hoof the ball so there’s no opportunity for the midfield to build play. But on occasions we play very well; Everton, Villa and Man U games.

We are seeing Fulham Ranieri not the Leicester one. I want to see more emphasis on playing through the midfield. West Ham aren‘t the only ones to give us a lesson this season. Today, Noble was made to look like prime Iniesta and Wham were too good for us. He will last but performances must improve and I’m not sure CR70 has made any difference versus Xisco.

If noble can keep up with the pace of the game you know the teams in trouble ...

He played well but a lot of that was lack of pressing him

Every time I watch Leicester vs Liverpool I worry for Leicester
They always try and play out from the back,if they do that tonight they will get hammered.

Exactly. I kept saying there’s no pressure from us and Noble is able to ”Pirlo” the game. When he’s controlling the game the other, more talented ones, have a field day. Bowen was excellent.

Put VAR in the bin, it's junk. Kane's clearly level but level doesn't exist anymore. Top class finish.

Hes clearly offside.

lol Salah, too easy

Sit down

To be fair. He did have to set off 12 seconds earlier than everyone to get those few inches in front. Donkey

Went down but that is a pen for sure. The three attempts to get the ball in the net were not up to his usual standard though

I'm guessing you don't like Salah?

Bowen needs to play for England , he is outstanding

His work rate is second only to rice and he really is a constant outlet

Agreed. He's been consistently good all season. He never hides, he's full of energy and he constantly attacks the oppo and makes life uncomfortable for them.
I wonder if there are any other players like him we can pilfer from the championship?

Piss poor pen but everyone misses now and again.
Very mediocre considering the possession we have had.

Yes and he was the same.
A feather would knock these players over.

Don’t keep bigging him up to much he might want to leave.
I like him he’s a great player.

think hes one of several good players in those positions this year, Gallagher and Smith Rowe both had excellent seasons so far too and pressing for selection, fully expect Southgate to pick those in possession still
