I will give my ratings later once I have calmed down and watched the match again, as at the moment I am too pissed off to make a fair assessment.

Just one question though, why the fuck didnt Poch start with our most in form player Lamela?

Pathetic. We only got a point because Watford didn't get a blatant penalty and we got lucky with the VAR call on the Alli handball.

That's football. Take the goal and feel no way about it. Aurier's goal at Leicester was VAR at its best.

Complacent, gutless, avb-slow and clueless.
Blunt. Boring.
And all so predictable.

Sissoko did some running about in 1st half to no real purpose - motm

Gazziniga 5.5 looked shaky

Aurier 6 decent but flashes of incompetence
Toby 6 okay aside from the odd mistake with the ball
Verts 6 okay aside from the odd mistake with the ball
Sanchez 5.5 no confidence
Rose 4 shocking, offered nothing and lost his positioning. Lost the plot today

Winks 5 tried but not creative enough
Sissoko 5 tried but not creative enough

Moura 6 tried but few options to work with
Alli 6 best half this season in the 2nd half and still got a 6, says a lot..

Kane 5.5 very quiet

Subs

Son 7 changed the game
Lamela 7 good intent
Ndombele 7 quiet but more killer balls than Winks and Sissoko combined

All three subs look good. This makes Poch's starting XI selection amusing....
Dele and Aurier have a decent second half.

Watching Toby&Jan this season makes me sad....

They looked like eleven strangers thrown together for the first time and told to run about a bit. There is no way to rate them. They look devoid of heart, devoid of a clue and that sub of Sanchez is shocking considering the two he left out there are two that seem to be part of the this 'problem' Poch has been whining about since the summer.

Pig, lipstick, still the same.

Unsure why we play 5 at the back against weak opposition. Aurier and Rose playing in attacking positions lack the ability that players such as Son and Lamela have. There were just too few creative players in the starting 11. Moura. Dele and Kane the only ones against Watford!

2nd half was better with Son and Lamela playing some football but we shouldn't have to wait that long.

Not sure what's up with Kane- he just never got in the match? Only once this season against Southampton has he truly fought for possession and taken the game to the opposition. Either tactics wrong or he is not up for it

8 Lamela, Son
7 Moura, N'Dombele
6 Winks, Sissoko, Dele, Gaz, Sanchez
5 Verts, Rose, Aurier, Toby
4 Kane

We’ll have Davies and Sanchez as our FB in a back 4 against pool I bet!

Rose offers nothing in terms of delivery in final 3rd ... all he has in his locker is getting into collisions by throwing himself into 50-50s and hoping for a free kick or penalty. His defensive lapses seem to be increasing.

Winks is like a small dog chasing a balloon at times. He obviously cares and shows up others with his effort. It is just mis-directed and he is not a DCM (nor is Sissoko).
Their CM partnership, which has cooncided with our dismal run of form / results since Feb, needs to be broken up. It’s a shame, as both players clearly care and put shifts in, but they don’t offer much as a pair either defensively or offensively.

Lamela and Son have been our best two players this season and need to start. I’d actually play Son thru the middle and bench Kane for a game or two. Kane and Eriksen look the stalest of our offensive players.

Only rating players that I thought did ok or better

Sanchez 6 - I thought played well in the middle and tidied up a few times. Seemed a lot more confident (compared to previous games). Annoyed he got pulled.

Moura 6 - only that in the first half, but I hate him being up top. He needs to be running at players

Son 7 - immediate impact with his direct running

Lamela 8 - why he doesn't start all games I just don't understand.

The others, well they might as well have just turned up wearing Watford shirts
