Strange bump. Midfield was the problem.
Defence won us the game today...Is a disaster.
As a team no we didn't defend well. All things considered the defenders did well though. The midfield was beyond horribleWe've defended well today?
This.Great today. Our 3 best outfield players on the pitch, Jones, Smalling and Shaw

Agreed. Jones and Smalling looked genuinely pissed off with Matic and Pogba and how much pressure they were putting them under.Great today. Our 3 best outfield players on the pitch, Jones, Smalling and Shaw
You are right, we were very today, besides for the goal when we characteristically switched off thinking that the game was won. Lot of people here talk from their preconceived notions rather than comment on the actual game.We've defended well today?
Watford midfielders overran Matic and Herrara today ( not surprisingly , no help from Pogba and Mata defensively there ). Pogba is not a midfield. He is a #10 , Baggio type of playmaker. He cannot defend and tackle because his defensive positional sense is so poor he is always 10y away from the ball. Ole has to play him higher, relieved him of any defensive duty.Smalling and Jones were excellent.
Problem today was Herrera and Matic. They were terrible. Our midfield needs an overhaul, not our backline.
We defended well against attacks yes, but except Shaw none of the defenders today know how to pass so it almost becomes impossible to build from the back. Watford could just press high and it ended with a hoof every time.We've defended well today?
None of our midfielders or attackers did either. Seems weird to blame the ones who have least to do with the problemWe defended well against attacks yes, but except Shaw none of the defenders today know how to pass so it almost becomes impossible to build from the back. Watford could just press high and it ended with a hoof every time.
It's all a bit messed up at PSG. Kimpembe wouldn't even make the team, but they are playing Marquinhos in midfield because Rabiot has been frozen out.yeh. If only we had the like of Thiago Silva and Kimpembe on defence, we wouldn't concede any goal.

Agreed, I was wondering whether Dalot should have come on for Mata because Young was getting the run-around by Deulofeu.What a baffling bump. Our midfield was a disaster today, defence was very good apart from Young.
Would be better if they had a keeper with any kind of presence in his 6 yard box behind themYou guys were right. Our defence is impeccable.
