Lerner's Driver Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The 'its difficult because they are parking the bus' line is true, but not good enough. Most other teams find a way past that approach, which is why Watford are where they are. If we can't match the achievement of most other teams, logic says we will end up closer to Watford than most other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Good first half, the movement of the front 3 very good. Played some nice stuff but still need to get it out to the fullbacks quicker. Edited February 19, 2022 by villanmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve got the talent, just lack the conviction. it's how I see it too. we're pausing and overthinking a little bit too much instead of going along with the mojo. confidence thing I'm sure.

Phil Silvers Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Much improved but Watford are on a high and making it difficult, class will show at some point and we hopefully snatch the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 From where I’m sitting cash is in space but they just don’t want to pass it down to him, think they are sick of his final ball so it’s always going to digne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big thing, we haven't seen enough of JJ. McGinn is far too pedestrian and ponderous. He slows us down way too much, tries his FIFA passes with mixed results.

PaulC Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 With Burnley winning Watford are now bottom. We have to do better against these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have Sherwood Mk. 2 on our hands or can he actually get a tune out of this squad… So you think this is worse than the last performance then? I'm confused.

nick76 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Ings really good half, a bit rusty but showing what we have been missing up front. He won’t miss many chances like that, good play overall from him. Overall the team have been good just very slow building up which has restricted more chances. Worried about sucker punch now from Watford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 4 minutes ago, The_Steve said: Watford only get that chance on the counter because McGinn isn't covering Cash. That's a big issue to resolve. We were very aggressive about sending everyone forward for the first 25 minutes. Several times I counted 8 men forward, just Mings and Chambers back (or once Cash stayed back and Chambers was forward). It was like we were Man City and we were so confident about keeping the ball we didn't think we had to keep anyone back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted February 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2022 Parking the bus requires energy and concentration. When they concede most teams that use this tactic become unstuck later in games. Not worried, we’ll get em tired and thrape them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea that we might snatch the win, at home, to the worst side in the league should dampen some of the enthusiasm about how much of an improvement this is meant to be over the previous shambles.

il_serpente Posted February 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2022 Anyone else notice that we’re not giving the ball away cheaply for once? Not much created in the way of clear cut chances, but the passing is much better. Tremendous improvement over last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost count of the times we only play well in one half of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
