How can you have a three week break and come back and play like this? #WatfordFC

This is incredibly embarrassing. They may as well all leave the field.

Didn’t miss it at all. 16 mins into this match… I remember why.

That was exactly the summary in our house - he was no worse than anyone else on the pitch. 😂

Sounds more like it. Looked under 50%.

I guess if you squinted you could see that many….. in any case a great result considering the first half!

That would be an outrageous and blatant fib.

Optimistic about the team we could see when the injuries are sorted and the team has had time to gel.

The depth we have is shocking. Possibly an all time low. Defence incredibly concerning . I know the window isn’t closed yet but my hopes are not high.

The sooner #Infantino is gone, and all his insufferable cronies too, the better. Football belongs to the fans and always should.

Now show me pictures of the space you work in if you work (or craft) at home. Perhaps you’ll inspire me further!

I honestly hope this current Argentinian team gets nowhere near a final ever again. Let real footballers and role models take the lead from here on FIFA. It took a while but everyone now sees what the Dutch saw 4 years ago and the English fans have known for decades.
