Magic Lamps

giroud has been owning kabasele all game

willian and barkley are absolute counter-killing machines

a corner conceded.... we all know what that means

this feels so odd. we are playing ridig sarri ball without jorginho

Barkley being barkley again, killing the break and then losing the ball

pulisic taking the ball off girouds head... he can do better.

i cant believe it but barkley literally created a goal.

great finish giroud

surely quicker than he is at the moment. he used to be an energetic runner for Wigan where he scored a couple of solo goals. He imght not be the most explosive but he has decent end speed.

another needless freekick givenaway from a stupid turnove by Kante who cant play a pass forward to save his life

As much as i hate him, Willian's facial expressions are priceless. He should pursue a career in acting.

open sole should be a red card

i wish. moses at least is quick

great save from foster. he is so good at these reflex saves

Reece James still looks so dann rusty cant even catch up with kiko and hughes who are far from quick

willian and barkley combining to derail another promising counter attack

needless freekick by james again. he has been terrible in defence since the restart. goalconceded in 3 2 1

terrible set pieces from us so far as usual.

plus kante was injured a lot and maybe he would have played him instead of jorginho there anyways if he had not been injured and his actual philosophy is more conservative than we though.

dafuq are barkley and azpi doing there terrible fk from giroud

i would rather have rüdiger in the team than barkley who is just pointless. good foul here tho

zouma starts the game off with a completely needless clearance. and watford showed how they gonna play this match already. hoof long balls to deeney and sarr

lol Nigel pearson has lost so much weight since his ostrich rant that he now looks like an ostrich himself with that long ass neck of his

i keep repeating myself but this match will be terrible for sure. both teams are set up very negative. Watford are basically playing 4dms (doucoure and hughes played as winger and no10). only deeney and sarr there to threaten. worked perfectly for watford. the only thing that makes me hopeful is that they have left out some of their best set piece targets rather than our crappy lineup.

i wonder how much he would cost. surely not over 20m... he would be an awesome mid-term signing if we cant sell kepa as he wont command huge wages and could be offloaded easily if we sign a permanent solution.
