Regardless of Flemming, which seems the main issue, the original poster claimed there were ‘mind boggling’ players out of position, I mean unless you’re super dense none of that is mind boggling, given the lack of options - which is why I questioned the hyperbolic nature of the claim. It’s another absolutely weak bench. Can count on one hand the amount of good benches we’ve had this season and 2 of them were in the first two games.

We haven't had nearly enough "mind-boggling", "head-scratching" or just plain "baffling" on here this season. Or "Stunning" for what it's worth :D

Afternoon all, can’t get a Clarets stream so watching with Watford. Their comms are thrilled Cleverley has picked so many attackers and are “going for it”.

Greetings from a very chilly Belgrade, hopefully with that line up we can power our way to the 3 points today. Come on you mighty Clarets

7 CB's in the squad is a little strange, especially when the manager commented on how we have a large squad.

Yes, underrated how he pulled play back for the foul after letting it develop first.

That would be tricky Phil sits on the back row, I know this because I should be sat about 20’ away.

Watford comms are hilarious. Our defence is quite small and they’ll be looking to benefit from deadballs into the box. Trafford is small for a keeper.

Anthony is really getting his foot through the ball today. Let's hope it continues on set pieces.

Apart from the silliness I posted earlier they’ve been very good and fair. The summariser is tactically very astute. No idea who it is. They did both say it wasn’t a foul on their LB just after our goal.

Two minor criticisms today...

Passing is still not as crisp as it should be. Still blunting our counters with under or overpasses.

Decision-making in the final third still boggles me sometimes. Going for goal with loads of better options makes everyone become more selfish, IMO.

That said, the best wever looked in a first have in a while.
