Kind of like when he "chatted" to Redmond Pep Guardiola involved in HEATED exchange with Vicente Guaita https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10614075/Pep-Guardiola-involved-HEATED-exchange-Crystal-Palace-keeper-Vincente-Guaita.html?ito=native_share_article-top

Some people felt hopeless like that when we invaded Iraq! Instead, Blair got re-elected and eventually given a Knighthood. That does not excuse what Russia are doing, bit proves that attention spans are very short - amongst western communities at least. A small lunatic fringe felt like that with Brexit FFS! But generally, Russia will have changed forever (and not for the better) after this conflict/war/Invasion

Same that started against West ham. Only fair!

Frank Lampard's Everton are in the mire

not sure if that was a no, but will take it as such - shame

Will you be letting un-vax'd Ukrainians stay at yours?

A bit of Huff and Puff from us, but we will not be in the next round

Abject performance really... offering very little in attack in open play and wide open to their long ball counters. Could have (should have) been 0-3 before we got 1 back.

I think the thread so far accurately represents the awful display/set up from Saints. Do you not think?

Either way, him playing instead of a proven forward is an awful decision He needs to be replaced at HT and we need to tweak our patterns of play, as we are offering nothing in open play, as they (like Villa/newcastle) are defending deep, narrow and in numbers, whilst hitting long balls on the break. We are surely good enough to change it slightly to counter that, or is that effectively season over?

it is the set up, but I can say that playing smallbone up top instead of Armstrong/Broja has just made us a hell of a lot worse. We have less than nothing up top

doing what?

This just sums us up. We are doing NOTHING different to the last couple of games, apart from making ourselves worse by playing Smallbone up top instead of an actual striker. This is why Ralph will never be a top manager in this league.

Yep, Watford are doing what Villa/Newcastle did. Defend deep, narrow and in numbers, and look to hit us long on the break (as we have so much space behind our fullbacks). We have to be better when teams figure us out - probably why we are Ralph's level

I thought we would have changed it up today. We have not, we have been very blunt, and made that even more evident by playing smallbone up top. Just weird

but the pass back did happen and was appalling

What I do not understand... How shite is Adam Armstrong that we do not even change system, and will smallbone get a start ahead of him...? anyway 1 down. Out purple patch is over, back to being shite

Looks more like Smallbone further forward/centrally - if anything

Looks like KwP could have lots of space here....very dangerous for Watford

Depends on their vaccine status. Or is that not a thing anymore?

They just put the camera on that chap with evident 'problems', doing his thing, shaking his ass to almost nothing 🤪

They will be fine, I am sure. There are people/parties lining up to buy the club.

I think it is right, we have been very blunt in the last couple of games, like (as you would expect) teams have changed how they play against us.

What do we reckon? A 433, or Mo linking up centrally with Adams in the 4222?
