Watford v Burnley

texasbrit · Post by **texasbrit** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:21 pm

the problem is the midfield is not creating, if the strikers don't get the service its difficult form them to score

Let's be honest it's their ball retention and passing that has been the biggest issue. That isn't down to Watfords tactics.

Agree to disagree. Both teams have been poor at passing today.

For a neutral this isn’t a bad game, end to end stuff

For a Claret it’s ******* torture

The cheating and diving is shocking by Watford but the ref just let’s it go on and on.

McNeill not in the game

Weghorst looks really annoyed.

The game is wide open now. Show a bit of quality and it's there for the taking

What is Brownhill doing? lol

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:25 pm

I'd hook Lennon, bring in Lowton & switch McNeill

Weghorst ambling off then straight down the tunnel. Unless that’s a knock someone needs to be having some harsh words there.

He's back on the bench, but he doesn't look happy.
I know how he feels....

Anybody keeping count of the “No clean sheets for Watford at home” stat?

He’s using it up as much as he can do as it’s the last match it’ll be able to be used.

Seasoned ex England manager (one of only a handful to get the gig on merit) v U23 coach.

And it shows.

HyperClaret · Post by **HyperClaret** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:27 pm

I don't blame Weghorst for being angry at being taken off. Why can't our coaches ever seem to realise that it's the midfield that needs changing, not the strikers?

Barnes is hardly going to do better than Wout when he'll receive exactly the same non-existent feeds...

Wout was one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga for goodness' sake - it's not him, it's us. And by us I mean our midfield, which has needed sorting out for a good couple of years now

Need to get McNeil back on his best side ,so frustrating

Sadly no viable options available from the bench to do that.

McNeil absolute stinks it this season, plays his best two games of the season on the right and people ask for him to go back on the left, utterly baffling.

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:29 pm

Lowton for Lennon push Robert’s up further

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:30 pm

Surely try Lennon right and McNeil left? Something needs to change drastically.

Because in this instance we need it for the betterment of the team because Lennon is completely ineffective on the left

Ashley Barnes still playing premier league football is shameful for so many reasons

72 minutes of bloody awfulness. Fans have turned up. Players not so.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:31 pm

Mcneil stills seems to want it. Just not coming off for him and no one gambling on the left for the balls he is putting across. Seems Lennon and Mcneil swapped?

Watford's diving and niggly fouls on the halfway line is absolutely disgusting today. Ref has had a stinker

Barnes with his backing in nonsense.

Rouwen Hennings at the age of 33 got 15 goals in the Bundesliga two seasons ago.

That may be true, but either way, taking off Weghorst - who is one of the few players who actually looks like he cares/who could potentially pull a goal out of nothing - was not the correct decision.

(Obviously, I desperately hope I'm proven wrong. But I doubt it)
