They don't train any passing it's baffling. Every half promising move is fecked up by miscontrol and misunderstanding.

I would have bought and sold far more effectively.
The squad is dire and exacerbated by a second rate manager.
Its the pressure and physicality with lack of space. City pushes players forward so they leave space behind.This is where we miss a top midfielder who can slow the game down and dictate the play. Instead Mcfred try to rush the play and keep giving the ball away. Watford seem more likely to score unfortunately as we keep giving the ball away.We played better with our kids at full back
Shaw just passes sideways and then gives the ball away. McT has given the ball away and Martial hardly looks botheredWe don’t play with any intensity. This is the main problem, when they’re up for the game we’re fine. Against lower level teams, they play like it’s a kick about. We’re not playing like we want to win the game, not fighting for the ball, not sharp when the ball is there to be won. There was a moment where Martial lost possession, and the ball bounced free, and AWB was stood on his heels. If we were playing City he’d have been on it in a flash, but since it’s Watford he’s half asleep.
To provide a link between the midfield and attack, as well as create opportunities and generally look dangerous.
Yeah, we know that's the opposite of what he is doing.
He’s the only player in the midfield and attack that has been able to control the ball. A weird player to take a pop at.
Well yeah that's what I mean this is our level with the current regime.
Watford manager getting his team to raise their game and outplay is no different than Ole getting our team to raise their game against City and Spurs.
I doubt anyone will be touting the watford manager as the new klopp if he gets his team to win today, which is what a lot of our fans have been doing with OleSo frustrating, every game i look forward to it and hope we play somewhere near the capability of the players and hit some form - apart form raising our game against the higher placed teams a couple of times i always end up disappointed and bored.Passing has been awful by both sides, you'd think they're both in the bottom 3. McTominay and Fred look scared because Pogba is back on the benchThe ref has been crap, martial has been taking notes off inzaghiWe are still on the bus.Watching us in the last third is so depressing because even when we are on the edge of the opponents box, we look a billion miles away from actually forming an opening or having a decent chance. The ball just slowly moves in front of the banks of four, full back, centre back, centr midfield, left wing, left full back, centre mid, centre back, right wing, right full back, no one is pulled out of position, we just faff about, then a bad pass or touch has us on the back foot, being countered.
It's truly hilarious.My word that was shiite. No urgency. No drive. No penetration. Absolutely pathetic. Lingard is awful atm. Ole sitting there like a tomato. Watford are a diabolical team and were making them look the better team.No shot on target during first half. Must be some kind of a record.McTominay has been god awful. James doesn't have the ability to do anything unless there's space in front of him, and Lingard is a sorry excuse of a number 10.The saying "watching paint dry" can really apply to this 45 minutes of football.just what does ole tell them just before they come out?There's maybe been only 4 or 5 games all season that I haven't heard, that must be the worst half I've ever seen.
Or we are just a bunch of game raisersAnother very good first half.
We would be perfect to promote The Walking Dead, players wouldnt need to "act" like in the past, Woody is missing a trick.We need a clinical finisher to be the focal point of our attack. Lingards effort was a waste.All according to the plan this. Watford will gain confidence and decide to attack us after such display and we'll win on the counter again.
That story surely had its effect. People really seem to think it ha anything to do with him being an absolute waste for his whole careerBut he’s been shit for his entire career
I don’t know why people find this so hard to understand.
We start players like AWB, Shaw, Lindelof, Lingard, James and Martial and then sit here perplexed at being 8th.
People are supporting OGS for this nonsense and claiming they can see a process of improvement.
The mind fecking boggles.
So many bad players in the first half and Martial is the only one you call
Mct gets it and like Rashy feels the pain of defeat more than their teammates because they use to go to match days as kidsCan someone make sure Lingard drives home with the Watford players after this game and never comes back?
That's not even remotely the point.But he’s been shit for his entire career

Just forget it.It’s not been great and I don’t actually think that Watford have been that negative.
Defence has been good (minus Shaw who is picking up where he left off last season with pulling defenders shirts and getting carded)lucky gary nev is no longer in the sky studio..Absolutely dreadful play again. Static forwards, ffs, move in to the channels and give the midfielders somewhere to put the effing ball!!!!
It's a good job I'm already bald
I was being sarcastic or wearing my Ole and Ed hat
What has he done on the pitch to deserve his place? To be starting for us? I don't care about his problems, all players should be treated equally, and if we are, he would be nowhere near the squad, let alone starting matches for us.
The best 45 we could ever see is a P45 for Lingard
If controlling the ball means you think he’s played well then I don’t know what to tell you.
His time was up many seasons agoWe really are shit. No fecking urgency in our play. Jesse Lingard is a pointless player - we are playing with 10 men again.Awful scrappy game. No shot on target from either side and both struggling to string three passes together before losing it cleaply. Only chance of the half was from Lingard on 34 minutes, such a foolish finish from a player that hasn't scored a league goal for a year.
Lindelof, McTominay especially need to improve their distribution. Watford just sitting back and happy with just 30% possession at home.we cross the ball a lot for a team that don't have strikers attacking the box- Status
