Watford 3-2 Aston Villa 15/16 tribute act post match thread.

Just got in and it looks like everyone seems to have covered what I was going to say. What stood out for me in that farce of a first half was how they bullied and pressed the life out of us, with high energy and tempo. We had absolutely no answer to it, some players looked like they were running in a swimming pool at times.  That has the be addressed, and quick.

We conceed the 1st goal and its predominately game over.

[pooligan]

Anyone have any idea when Sansom is going to be fit He seems to have been injured ever since we signed him

[Hairbandinho]

How can all of the backroom staff be happy with the central midfield. Seriously it's absolutely garbage

yep. Like Watford's manager watched the Brentford/arsenal game and took note, while Smith fell asleep in the stands.

Only seen the hghlights. Disappointing but predictable result. Lots of work to be done by those on and off the pitch all the way up to Lange and NSWE. I'm not a fan of Young's return bearing in mind the stage he is at in his career. Seeing him in the starting 11 had me worried. Buendia and Bailey need to hit the ground running otherwise we may well regret not having brought in more players with proven PL experience like Ings. Time will tell.
Great goal by McGinn. UTV!

Tel you what we are the Kings of, Excuses
We’ve got bucket loads of them

One’s for playing top teams ones for playing bottom teams ones for playing newly promoted teams,
Cup games, League games, Big games, games played without Grealish
Games played with new signings, You name it there’s always a reason for playing shit

I’m sick of it
With our investment we should be beating Watford who have cleverly in midfield ffs
Or at least match them in every area on the pitch even if it doesn’t go our way

There is not one single thing that happened to the day that wasn’t predicted before the match
And we could do nothing about it

It was shocking, no excuses

[achilles]

Deano has to accept some responsibility for that pathetic performance, due to the shambles of a pre-season which seemed to have no predefined aims except to get as many players some minutes as possible and then selecting a midfield two that has proven not to work!

However positives to take out of the game is that Ramsey is ready to step into the midfield, he played well in pre-season and then gets dropped, certainly on a short term basis and Bailey looked good especially considering his lack of fitness.

The game also showed us that Cash needs to improve as I thought he was poor in pre-season as well, Targett had a game to forget but it was his first for ages,  Buendia was obviously not fit as he is much better than this, Nakamba is not at the level we require unfortunately as I like the guy, El Ghazi is not consistent enough, we desperately missed Ollie, Ings looked lost not helped by a total lack of service, use McGinn as an attacking midfielder he is wasted in his current role.

Yes, we lost but Watford will still get relegated and we will still finish in the top half, have faith! UTV

Fucking this!

We have the best investment in our history.

We have one of the best youth systems in our history.

The opportunity to push us to an unparalleled level is there.

Dont fuck this up Villa.

[Risso]

Well said John. There’s no excuse for going 3-0 down to a newly promoted team.

[Des Little]

Yes, wholeheartedly agree with this. At times today (well most of it actually), we could have been watching any number of similar atrocities in the dark days of Randy or Xia.

Garbage.

[CT Villan]

It could be worse...we could be Leeds !

[ASHTONVILLA]

It could be worse...we could be Leeds !

Yeah but not feeling too smug as they were playing a team that will be challenging for the title, whereas we were playing a team tipped for rock bottom.

[SoccerHQ]

Worst performance in years and years. Utterly insipid shite.huge problems all over the park.

Nah. Last time we played there, 20 months ago, was even worse.

Just checked back to who started that day and laughed when I saw Henri Lansbury's name so different era.

[ChicagoLion]

It could be worse...we could be Leeds !

Leeds were playing a CL team with some world class players. We were playing Watford.

Spot on John.
It’s just more excuses.
Serious questions need to be asked.
No where near good enougj
