We're defensively very suspect most of the time, so I understand the annoyance, but seriously. Our best midfielder at centre back, a rookie out of position at right back, in the Champions League. It's pretty mental.

Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.

We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
At 3-0 games over i blame him.

Defence is a mess though so they are also accountable

If you're 2-0 up at home and allow the opposition to equalise, it's unlikely that your striker is your biggest problem.

I do agree with that sam but man  how many games has ollie missed easy chances and cost us games this season?

McGinn has been dreadful and Bogarde on the right has eliminated the threat we had.

I reckon this is why we always play with the handbrake on. When we go for it, we get a billion injuries.

Is there asbestos in the pipes at BMH or something?

Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.

too many times this season , minutes later the opposition scores when he misses a easy chance

Kamara did well there until they scored but man we need him in the middle. Unai has totally fucked this up. I would have gone bogarde and konsa at cm but kamara in front protecting

It’s not all on Watkins - that’s clearly factually bollocks. He should have scored, but we shouldn’t have conceded two simple goals regardless.

Awful sub again from Emery. Instead of bringing on another attacking RB, he moved the only DM out of the centre and into a position he doesn't excel at.

This, I definitely agree with.
