I didn't go but watched it on a stream. We were awful and there was not one player who had a good game at all, defending was laughable, our passing was woeful, couldn't pass five yards at times, the first touch of some of the players was poorer than that of sunday league village players.
I'll share my views on the players
Lossl- seen some criticism of him on the second goal, it seems like a lot of goalkeepers get low when then shuffle across goal like he did, I used to do so, helps get down for the low shot. Just the watford player went over him.
Durm- had a couple of chances to tactically foul for the first goal as did a lot of them, got forward ok
Zanka- said he wants to play at a better standard of team. If that is so he needs to shape up big time because he is slack allround so far this season. Stupid fouls, sloppy passes, you name it.
Schindler- probably the closest we had to a motm, but in truth it was a poor game altogether for the team.
Lowe- poor challenge on the second goal, one good shot hitting the crossbar. Got forward ok but again final third issues.
Billing- complete passenger at times, no show in some challenges, when the going gets tough he clears off. Has a good range of passing but that isnt going to be enough. Has been maturing of late, needs to mature a bit more before he can honestly hold down a position
Hogg- suspect of sloppy passes and sloppy challenges, breaks play well but hinders the team at the same time
Mooy- poor game, out of position, initially billing was out left but they soon switched, he's too slow to play anywhere other than central.
Mbenza- looked lost, poor passing led to multiple losses of possession, poor first touch too, woeful crosses all in all reminded me of malvin kamara.
Pritchard- starting to wonder what he actually offers, buzzes around the place, looks to get the ball but is lightweight and shirks every challenge, not quick when running with the ball either, another who is pretty much a passenger.
Depoitre- huffs and puffs, plenty of endeavour but this season his touch and link up play has been poor, loads of flicks now which suggests he has lost a bit of whatever pace he had and not as fit as he was, a case of clouded thoughts.
Subs
Bacuna- not on long enough to do anything
Sobhi- didn't do much, looks stronger than Pritchard but probably slower. Think he has an eye for a pass but we wont use it.
Mounie- still really lazy for me, half arsed runs after the ball, rather lightweight for a big lad too. Like I said on the Liverpool match thread, his attitude will cost him a place
