West Ham v Watford, Tuesday 8th Feb 19:45, BT Sport

OldCastleSwift

72% possession but we've done nothing with it.

And now Watford nearly score on the break (Cresswell beaten in the air again)

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Close for them

Rice overplaying it

OldCastleSwift

Ah, good, another useless ref.

OldCastleSwift

This has been a poor start really. Just haven't looked like getting through at all. Even Rice has struggled to find the right pass.

We’ve started poorly in the last half dozen games or so.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Really struggling to get going

So slow on the ball

Watford picking up all the 2nd balls

OldCastleSwift

Watford starting to grow into this.

We continue to do nothing.

OldCastleSwift

Corner Irons.

NOTHING SHORT!

OldCastleSwift

Soucek heads it over.

This isn't an enjoyable game to watch.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Just so flat

No tempo and very little energy.....Really forcing it here

Watford looking bright in spots

OldCastleSwift

Front four have offered absolutely nothing. But you look at the bench and there's nothing there.

So frustrating.

OldCastleSwift

Benrahma hits the post. We may have finally woken up.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

So close!!

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Bowen the only one of the front 4 to have turned up today

Benrahma, Fornals and Antonio barely in the game

OldCastleSwift

Rice with an incredible last ditch tackle. Man's in a league of his own.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Awful stuff.

Hamstew

We are so boring to watch

OldCastleSwift

Dreadful first half. Watford doing everything you'd expect them to given their situation, but we've been so pedestrian is everything we've done.

Antonio and Benrahma have been completely anonymous. Shame there's nothing on the bench to threaten them with.

Lukerz

Looks like we could have done with a couple of fresh bodies

Also not sure what Coufal offers anymore, I’d rather Johnson at RB

We seem to have bottled out of several 50-50s too

Pengeman

Not a pretty game. In the front only Bowen seems awake. Something for Moyes to talk about.

jay_in_cpt

Slow coaches…
Watford more than holding their own…
Poor first half, Antonio doesn’t seem totally fit to me….
Oh well…Not losing COYI ⚒️

thornburyiron

Thought we were poor Saturday but this beats that. At least there was a sliver of an excuse Saturday.

How many of our outfield players have genuine competition for their places? Benrahma, maybe, but only in the form of Vlasic. Coufal with Johnson. Fornals with Lanzini. That's probably it.

Beyond that there's nothing. Antonio, Bowen, Rice, Soucek and Cresswell will play every game they're available, irrespective of form, because there's no-one pushing them.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Not good

Sadly it looks like we could be I'm for a long 2nd half of the season

The guys aren't gasping for air, but fatigue affects your sharpness, they are just half a yard slower

The "kids" may not be up to the right tlevel but we need some impetus, need some fearlessness

The only ones who actually attack the ball atm are Rice and Bowen

Antonio and Fornals might as well not be playing, Soucek has lost a lot of 50/50s, coufal has been reserved

thornburyiron

Newcastle Everton 1-1 both own goals.

steve

So slow ,Lanzini perhaps theres no one else

steve

Okay enough of this i am changing rooms to watch this ,Seem to work once before

OldCastleSwift

Sounds dead inside the stadium, too.

Need something to kickstart this game.

OldCastleSwift

What. Was. That. From. Antonio.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Sums it up from Antonio. We’re dross tonight.
