Match Thread: Watford v Villa

What is our identity as a team. Our tactic seems to be give to Grealish and try and overload the left and if thats not available hoof to Wesley or try and get Elmo in a bit of space wide to whip a cross in.

The players are too scared to take risks, in away games you need to take risks and show some confidence, all we seem to do is sit back, hoof repeat.

I'm really struggling to understand just how we've become so shit. We're looking like a joke now.

We were absolutely nothing like this at the beginning of the season. 

Mcginn, Mings and Grealish were outstanding at the beginning of the season. These **** fairies were getting away with it.

If only you had been this critical of Bruce. Weird.

It was the same under him.....we just had more players deployed to defending, so we had no attack.

This culture has been with us for some time, yes including Bruce.

Teams found us out. Smith isn't adaptable enough as a manager, he has one style that he continues to persist with until it works.

We were crap even when Mings and Mcginn were with us. Mcginn has been mediocre for a long time now and at most you can argue Mings shored up our defence more, but he didn't have that much of an effect on us getting constantly outplayed. He just helped make sure the attacks from the opposition didn't go in.

You guys are hysterical. We've been alright, not amazing, but could easily be one up. 

We need to push higher up the pitch though. Stick on second striker and force them backwards. 

Correct. Pretty sure some people here aren't actually watching the match.

There doesn't appear to be much coaching here. Shite football, no intensity, weak as piss players with shit stamina. It's abysmal.

I cant even try and figure out what we are trying to do

Watford are trying to get in behind with diagonal balls and looking to get balls in the box, you can actually see a plan

We are just running around like headless chickens without any clear plan

Midfield is so weak that we have no chance. Neither Lansbury nor Hourihane are even close to Premier League quality, Luiz is too slow and Grealish is unbelievably being forced to play wide when we desperately need him in the centre of the pitch in the #10 role.

You’ve only got to see Smiths beleaguered expression on the touch line to know he hasn’t got a clue what to do and is totally out of his depth.
