Agree we need a 433

 

[Curtis]

mykolenko needs to stop passing back and push further up otherwise he's been solid

 

[TheBigIguana]

We're basically safe tonight if we win

 

[Charles Plastusz]

Considering what’s at stake, the circumstances of the opposition, that was a disgrace. Players and coaching staff need to buck up their ideas

 

[sbbefc]

Watford seem to be getting a lot of defenders behind the ball and defending deep. Hard to break down. I'd put Rondon on as a focal point.

 

[Drico]

Anyone else see this coming a mile off? Absolutely pathetic!! Playing Watford reserves. All you have to do is be professional and get the job done, and they are dithering about, one mistake away from getting punished. Any half decent side has this well sown up by now

We're fourth from bottom precisely because we are not a half decent side.

The mutual masturbation on here since the weekend has been a sight to behold. A sense of complacent triumphalism has emerged since Sunday. We are in the mire and if we are to get out of it it will be slowly but surely rather than spectacularly. The main thing is not to lose tonight. There will be twists and turns.

Imagine watching City every week, in fact imagine watching a team that employs the basic “pass and move” football

 

[Cork Evertonian]

I'm very disappointed with that first half, i was hoping that we'd have been out of sight by now. Oh well hopefully Frank gets them firing for that second half.

 

[Nymzee]

5 at the back away to injury-hit relegated Watford is just...

I mean I know we're bad but come on have some courage.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Fighting for our lives against the very definition of a team that are “there for the taking”, and their goalie has had Nothing to do. Absolutely pathetic half.

 

[dannyboy]

Saw that coming a mile off. We were always going to find it difficult to transition from the last few performances to a game against Watford. I understand why Lampard kept the same team/set up but it really should've been changed.

 

[Tony1985]

Just do something ffs, be arsed watching another half of that.

 

[matty1878]

it’s massive we do this it’s your prem at stake

sort it

 

[yakublue]

alli or DCL on for Gray pls

 

[kenada_blue]

No idea why we’re playing for a 0-0 here, these aren’t arsed and have no quality whatsoever.

We're not really, we're just shocking creatively. Plenty of times getting behind them outwide...come to zero.

Stick Alli up top for me and just let him float.
