Today's game

Is Howe part of the problem?
1-0 up and in desperate need of the win.
Is he capable of setting us up to defend a lead?

It’s hard not to think we’re not down.

This is sickening how a team like Watford who are in the sh1t like us can come to St.James' and take a point like that. That's our Fu(king sh1tty season in a nutshell. Not a fu(king chance we stay up after that.

This is Mike Ashley’s team. We have 2 new players + a reinvigorated monster in midfield. So we’re going in a good direction but way too slowly to survive.

If StayLovely doesn’t get a new expensive CB in by the next game, all is lost.

Its the same old problems every ****ing week.

Lascelles should be no where near the starting lineup, nor should Longstaff.

We have no creativity in the middle of the pitch whatsoever. Shelvey and Longstaff offer a sideways pass or a hoof to nothing.

Eddie Howe needs to employ a first class defence coach ffs. 21 points dropped from winning positions is why we are going down

[Geordie_Jacko]

If we acted like the richest club in the world and stopped Fu(king about getting a CB this could of been avoided. Don't deserve it though it another huge blow for us this season. Just can't see us turning it around after that.

when Watford beat Burnley on Tuesday they will be 5 points clear of us, with Norwich as their next game, which they will also win.
We will be lucky to get a draw at Leeds so by the time they go to Saudi for the training camp we will most likely be cut adrift by 8 points

[trinitoon]

My head says "only a win will do".

My heart says that it is fed up being broken by our farcical defence.

Gutted 😭

The improvement is there but I still think Howe should be able to set his team up to ride out the last 10. Maxi had offered little defensive cover but his attacking treat balanced that. Ritchie might have been a better option to see out the end of the game and get the three points. Howe doesn’t have a great record defensively so needs someone in his set up who can make us hard to beat if we do get a goal up.
