But tonight the tactics and team selection were inexcusable.
I'd love to know why Gunnarsson was dropped and Morrison was put back in straight away.
We were a shambles and made Watford look like Man City. They didn't really need to try.
The difference between the sides was significantly bigger at their place than in the first half tonight, I was pleasantly surprised that they weren't cutting us to ribbons every 30 seconds. Maybe my standards are a bit low but it's better being like that than some of these guys in the match thread who sound like they are ready to behead our Neil.
I'm with you here. First time I can criticise Warnock this season. Maybe he took his eye off the ball, with Sala's funeral in Argentina last Saturday? Maybe I'm looking for excuses for him? We looked very poor and disjointed in midfield. Even if we had had that definite penalty, I think we still would have lost. Watford always looked dangerous on the break.
I don’t know why he made all those changes we just had a week off. And please Neil stop man marking against decent sides I couldn’t make out who was playing where if someone asked where Bamba played I’d have to say I think he played LB. we move on to the next game but Neil has to take this on the chin imo the defence was diabolical and Niasse you can have a day off tomorrow you earned it
Has to be because there’s another game Tuesday. Watford were as good tonight as they were at their place. Other than Man City they’re the best footballing side we’ve played all season in my opinion. Tore us apart at will
I think people over think the game too much. We made a decent start to the 2nd half the 2 goals from 2 mistakes killed the game and made the rest a non event.
It's better to hope the players will be more switched onto that now.
I do think Warnock changes it too much between games and that's probably because there's not a massive difference between all the players. If you asked 100 city fans to name our strongest 11 there would be probably 90 different teams with only Etheridge in every single one.
Hopefully we can be more resolute against Everton
thoroughly disappointing but has been stated Watford one of the best sides outside the top 6 . the movement off the ball was sublime not too many teams would have touched them tonight they were on fire . like everyone else I want to blame Warnock and the players but sometimes you have to put your hands up and admit it was men against boys tonight . let's hope we can bounce back against the scousers next week .
Morrison was shambolic tonight. He should never have been brought straight back into the team. Defence recently has been quite solid so why disrupt it.
Strange to drop Reid, he’s looked good oflate
Lineup was a bit strange to say the least, almost surprising as Morrison starting. I think that experiment will be put in the bin, as whatever it was, didn't work. Win tuesday and all is forgiven.
....our goal difference is shafted now as well.
From listening to ccpi, bbr and reading this forum, I get the impression that a large majority would have a Bamba/Manga central defensive partnership.
Most would probably have Bennett at left back.
We don’t have a quality right back. So who knows.
Most would continue with Niasse up front.
Midfield would be mixed but I’d imagine Patterson, Reid, Camarasa, Gunnarsson , Murphy or Arter would be in most people’s teams.
I don’t think it’s as wide open as you make out. Feel free to correct me.
