Needed better performances from Sigs, and our wingers.
Sigs was paticaully poor, lost the ball often, then disappeared for large portions of the game. Missed chances he should score and missed anither penalty.
Need another penalty taker. Digne ?
Our ledt backs have always been able to bury a pen.
Out battled by Watford, they were faster stronger and the better side, lucky to get a point tonight.

Random thoughts..

The Watford side that showed up after they went down would have been tough for any side to beat. Their midfield was immense.

Kevin Friend had an absolute shocker (mostly in our favour).

Siggy had his worst game in a while but he has the class to bounce back quickly. I hope he does at least as he seems a bit of a confidence player..

I love Richarlison and I’d let him get away with murder.. That being said he’s getting a bit of a Neymar rep and I think it will cost him more in the long term.
I miss Zouma, not saying either Mina or Keane deserve to be dropped.. I just miss him.

Even sub-par Gomes is a gift from God.

Anyway lots to improve on but lucky to get the point tonight.

Siggy needs a big rest. Giving him a 1 was way to high.

He's magic you know Gerard, however you spell his name, our fans showed our class singing his name at the end of the match.

What a pathetic performance.....easily on a par with owt we saw in the dog days of Bobby’s tenure, the worst of Koeman and the entirety of Sam’s era.

And th3 worrying thing is it wasn’t even the worst performance of the past seven days.

The Barcodes game was worse IMO.

We were outclassed and outfought by Watford.

At home.

A 4-1 victory would not have flattered them.

At least the game had one redeeming feature.....Digne’s last minute equaliser shut those snake bothering buggers in the section next to me up big time.

Just showing appreciation to a former son, doesn't matter whether he was good or not. He left on relatively good terms, so it's good he got a good reception.

The worrying thing was the lack of direction. No one knew what to do.

Just like under Koeman and unsworth.

The one thing I thought silva would bring was a style and direction and at least the players would know their roles.

Seemingly not

Not a lot of praise for Watford tonight , thought they matched us in every department. I would be perfectly happy to watch a side giving it’s manager that kind of performance every week. But will they play like that next week? This was their cup final and we played right into their hands with the our suicide tempo. We had the better ball players but got drawn into an end to end slugfest.

Indeed.

I loved the lid when he was here, he seemed to love the club and he never, ever disrespect us.

The matchgoing fans appreciate him and I was more the happy to applaud when he came on the pitch.

We did more singing and cheering for a Watford player (Deulofeu) than for our own players.

Very odd.

Im sure its been said, but ive just watched the highlights and Walcott was offside for our first goal, but im sure we wont mark that down when we are claiming the Refs have it in for us or we never get any luck.

Im jus saying, s'all.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

And how much did they spend?

Not just about money.

We had ALL the luck yesterday and still could not win.

Offside, Mina red, given a pen.

Just poor
