What a fucking shower of shite that was. Dier, Dembele, Son, Kane, Alli are like cack footed turtles at a fucking windsock convention. We would be losing that game if Watford's finishing was better and their keeper hadn't gifted us a goal.

I just don't get Poch, Son's been tripping over the fucking thing for the last two games, but the much fresher Lamela sits and watches. People on here give Lukaku shit for his game play but Kane's been making Lukaku look like an energetic Ibra lately.

Bumble, bumble, fucking bumble...

I would bring Lucas on for Dembele and drop Eriksen back in midfield, although pretty much guaranteed that we won't see any subs untl the 70 mins mark

We look so open at the back & we look shite going forward, we just have to play smart & not get caught out, I’d take a 1-0 all day at this rate

Poch will never do it but changes are needed at half time. Dembele has been awful recently and is an absolute liability out there.

Strange how you mention Dembele but not Dier who has been trash as well.

Dier, Dembele, Son and Kane not at the races.

I’m genuinely shocked at Dembele’s regression over the last few weeks. Looks absolutely fucked.

This is quite a worrying performance. I thought with our last 5 or so games, there were valid reasons for them to be quite tough encounters and I thought this game would be a fair measure of where we're at, unfortunately our level looks quite low... It's as if our confidence has taken a huge hit from those 3 big Wembley defeats.

Well if this continues in the 2nd half we know that we can't take any of the remaining games for granted at all, this is the easiest one on paper.

Watching this makes me want to go back to having Son, Lamela, Alli and Eriksen as our front 4 asap if I'm honest. I'm not sure how much of this is a contributing factor, but our poor performances started as soon as Kane came back in.

Lane has been rubbish since he tried to claim all the goals.

Started off OK I thought, but we seemed determined to let Watford grow in confidence. High line is looking decidedly dodgy.

Watford having been playing well TBF - compact in defence then hitting us on the transition.

Kane is playing like Rasiak. What is the point in Llorente?!

Bring Toby on for Sanchez.

He'll bring calm and stability.

Sometimes I.... I just.... what the fuck?
Sanchez has been one of our best players out there. What version of the game do you watch?

Hate to say this but sissoko for dembele, he’s been poor and suspect lately! Guessing he’s knackered.

I'm pretty sure calling for Sissoko to be on is one of the 7 signs of the apocalypse.

Lamela, but yeah.

I think we should go 4-3-3 until the end of the season. Makes the best use of what we've got until we can get some CMs.

We need a calm head on.

We'll lose nothing with him coming on.

It's more a tactical move for the properties he'll bring and the effect his presence/composure will have on the team.

We're on our way to fucking this game up.

Belee dat!

If we want calm then leave Sanchez on and bring Toby on for one of the plebs in central midfield and switch to 352.

Lucky not to be losing. Constantly giving the ball away. Not showing as much desire as Watford. Does not bode well but half time has come at a good time. Can somebody please wake us up.

No other top team makes the number of unforced errors we do. Its ridiculous how fragile our confidence is, half our players looking like they've never kicked a ball before.

I agree that Toby would be useful but he should come on Dembele IMO. The problem is that we've gifted them a half-dozen dangerous situations with complete carelessness in central midfield. Eriksen and Dele would take better care of the ball.
