For the first twenty minutes I thought it might just be down to TFM and Martial on the right.

But as the game's gone on, it's looking more and more that the players have almost surely been told to go back to the whole possession/philosophy thing.

Or they have never been told to not follow the philosophy.

Being rested according to LVG.

Really?

Not that he is great at CB but should have started against Igalho and Deeney instead of the young lad.

Typical of LVG, play well against the stronger sides.

But can't sort out the weaker opposition.

Again we are making our opponents look better than they really are.

It's team that are direct and physical that we struggle against. Smalling would've made a massive difference tonight.

He could have rested him on the bench. I love the kids, but at times it is getting silly.

What would happen if we finish 4th, City 5th and they win the Champions League?

Then we won't be in the CL.

Very well, unlucky not to be ahead with a couple of goals.

Kidding, Watford could've been four up....

Cheers , that bad then ?

We'd both go in the CL.

The bench is so weak. No idea what I'd do with it.

We need to win this as City are losing against Pool. If we win this and City lose then we are 1 point behind.

No we'd be even at 47pts but they would have a game in hand

34, played 2 games in 4 days. LVG obviously prioritised him playing against Arsenal over Watford.

I hate people usually saying it, however, Watford aren't an easy team to beat so it shouldn't be an expected easy result.

Saying that it's our own efforts that have been disapointing as much as Watford being decent

JTW95 · Mar 2, 2016

Don't worry the players are probably watching some adult movies right now.

They will come out for the second half nice and horny.

No United would catch up City completely. City would have one game in hand just but psychologically...

Is Carrick injured too?

He tired, because he played 90 mins back to back. Been rested. In hindsight, his calming influence and leadership would've been crucial. There's no-one out there to do that. We'll have to win this one by the seat of our pants and skin of our teeth. Sure to be a rocky ride. Team full of kids.

I'm not too worried. No-one can have a crack at the manager for this one surely. Look at that back four. We need to speed up play, hit them on the break, and hope for the best. Tofu needs to be very careful.

ottosec · Mar 2, 2016

We need to focus better and we will win.

Makes you think we're like 2/3 goals down too.

To be fair, we could easily be. They had huge chances.

My dorm has cable with NBC on it so I don't really have an email account registered.

How about your parents home cable? If they have an email address with the cable provider, you can use that, or any email address associated with the account.

That is a good one.

Annihilate Now! · Mar 2, 2016

I can't get over how bad Blind and Rojo have been... I'm fairly certain you couldn't do much worse on purpose.

The refractory period between games was just too short for some, it would seem.

Add some additional load bearing struts underneath.

We would be on the same points as City not 1 behind. But they have a game in hand.

Jesus we are not going to finish 4th get over it already

Nah we'd both go into CL qualifiers.

Fair enough.

championo · Mar 2, 2016

Team has no balance. Just too many timid players. Herrara, Mata are playing small. There is no protection of the CBs. Watford is operating in free space.

Take Summit off it, amirite.

ShakeUnBake · Mar 2, 2016

Don't hit me, but I think we could use Fellaini on the pitch.

Insanity · Mar 2, 2016

We need to get a win here, by hook or by crook. This is our golden chance to get back in the top 4 race.

Come on...

Well, put it this way: I'll be amazed if you didn't get to watch our best half of this match, so you should probably count yourself lucky in that regard

Only one half. Got to get better.

Or alternatively use it to beat lvg all the way home

Wheeey!

Djemba-Djemba · Mar 2, 2016

We clearly have an issue with mid to lower table teams. Our worst performances under Van Gaal have regularly come in these sort of games. I don't know if it's tacticial or we have a mentality issue but something is wrong.

Has a late Watford winner written all over it this.

Random Task · Mar 2, 2016

Spurs and City both losing, Arsenal being held too. Assuming the results stay the same (massive assumption I know) it would be a travesty were we not to capitilize.

Come on you Reds!
