OttawaSaint Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 KWP is quite clearly better than Valery. I wonder what they saw I training. 1

CB Fry Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 This feels already like a better performance than against Norwich (who were just abysmal). Team working very hard all over the pitch. 2

Valery always seems to struggle with the intensity and pressure of matches, could be that he shows his quality in training and it just doesn't translate.

Tamesaint Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 I like this ref. Penalizing Watfprd for their niggedly fouls.

Both good points. Makes sense.

Issues I recall were his injury record, and terms of the signing with an obligation to buy, even if he were crocked at the end of the season or underperformed.

Team working very hard all over the pitch. Watford have a good past record of being well beaten by us but then equalizing at the death (Decoure hand ball, Austin goal disallowed, last season here etc.). Hope we can stretch this lead soon.

Badger Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 9 minutes ago, hypochondriac said: Watford look rubbish. We look great! Familiar story though, first half dominance with a slender lead. I think the last two trips to Viacarage Road have ended conceding last minute or late goals, includng Dacoure punching it in.
Lighthouse Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Romeu looking a bit Steve Bruce. Reckon that might be broken.
Saint_clark Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Fuck sake Romeu, Smallbone in acres of space requiring a simple pass inside and he instead tries a killer ball over the top for Long.

Second half I expect Watford will take to hoofing it into the box more,or switch Sarr to take KWP on. Either way, you wonder if we can go a full 90 minutes without an individual error no matter how crap the opposition are.

Saint_clark Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 How is that a freekick to them? If KWP goes down screaming clutching his face that's a potential red card!
stknowle Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 3 minutes ago, OttawaSaint said: McCarthy charges our Vest backpedaling...calamitous own goal. He actually put in a solid robust header there that went in the intended direction. Regardless he is an accident waiting to happen.
obelisk Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Not bad at all. Saints really worth more than 1-0. Not too much fannying around in defence but there were a couple of daft free-kicks given away towards the end of the first half. Should polish them off 2nd half but this is Saints at Watford so expect a late goal for them.
Window Cleaner Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 9 minutes ago, OttawaSaint said: Watford just love the hoofball eh? Not surprising, they've absolutely nothing creative in midfield.
hypochondriac Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 That's our best first half in a while. If we perform crap in this second half I'll be so annoyed.
OttawaSaint Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Watching replay of the goal. Six players around him as he scored. Masterful!
Lighthouse Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Watching the half time analysis, no f**king way on Earth is that a penalty.
saintwbu Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Smallbone for that goal is almost identical to Hojbjerg before Arsenal’s first goal the other day. The difference? Smallbone was aware of what’s behind him, and his instinct was to turn into attack. Hojbjerg had no clue what was around him, bounced it right back first time, forcing us to go backwards and eventual cock up and concede. 2

Wilf Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 So far another good away performance where we look to get the ball forward quickly and press from the front.

The Cat Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Play Smallbone in every game now. I like the way he goes about things quietly, comfortable on the ball, doesn't panic, plays neat and accurate passes. 2
whelk Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 If we win this that will be more away wins than when we came 2nd in 1984 and that was a 42 game season

OttawaSaint Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Ref has to grow a set and penalize Hughes for the dive or handball for grabbing the ball.

Saint_clark Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 Sick and tired of players going down screaming every time they're touched nowadays.
gammon cheeks Posted 28 June, 2020 Posted 28 June, 2020 KWP looks so composed ar right back .......Swap for PEH and 10 mill please Tottenham

I like the way he goes about things quietly, comfortable on the ball, doesn't panic, plays neat and accurate passes. Yep. Just watching him again on that last attack. Much better body shape to receive the ball, turn and get it out to the wing quickly. Hoj is always facing away from goal and looking to go backwards, when he does go forwards he delays and misses his pass.
