Have the lights gone out at Vicarage Road?


Have the lights gone out at Vicarage Road?

Watford 0 Norwich 3
Friday 21st January 2022


Where to begin. Absolute shocking performance from Watford, the ref and the flood lights. This blog was to showcase how good my club is but after that display I would even be happier becoming a Burnley fan.

This match was meant to be a tribute to our greatest manager Graham Taylor, near to the 5th anniversary of his sad death. The team didn't keep up their side of the bargain.

With Foster out because of Covid we had to deal with championship level keeper Daniel Bachman who couldn't even save an inflatable beach ball. New signings: Edo Kayembe, Hassane Kamara and Samir. All weren't excellent but weren't   the worst players tonight. Dennis who was most of the countries fantasy captain lost his cool and won his second yellow card which sent him down the tunnel, he will now miss important away match against Burnley.

You must give credit to Norwich and their fans. A brace for American man Sargent who scored a brace and seemed to be unmatched by any Watford defender. At the start of the season, everybody, including most Norwich fans thought that they would be going straight back down. But now they see themselves out of the relegation zone for the first time this season with struggling Everton next in line.

Now it's a question for Ranieri and his employers. Personally, I think Ranieri has had his run and it has to come to a premature end. But mainly I think that the Pozzo family should sell and leave without a trace. We must thank them from saving us from administration, but they have no time for managers and because of this no half decent manager would want to be the Watford coach.

Player Ratings:
  • Bachman 1/10 is never consistent and can't kick a ball to save his life 
  • Femina 3/10 made a few decent passes but other than that he was useless.
  • Kabasele 4/10 coming from injury so was never going to be excellent but could have tried a bit more.
  • Samir 5/10 good player and strong but gave too many silly fouls.
  • Kamara 4/10 had a good few runs but lacked that physicality that you need in the premier league.
  • Kayembe 3/10 made one good pass but gave the ball too many times and had poor positioning.
  • Cleverly 4/10 wasn't shocking but can do better 
  • Sissoko 4/10 wasn't that bad but needed a better performance after he wrote that message saying that we should all come to watch the hornets on a cold Friday evening.
  • King 3/10 didn't have the ball very much when he had was lazy.
  • Dennis 2/10 lost his cool and got a red. Will miss an extremely important Burnley game.
  • Pedro 5/10 was decent but should have done better with some chances.
Subs:
  • Cucho 7/10 was an instant impact and was playing for the badge.
  • Kucka 1/10 didn't do anything good but scored an own goal.
  • Sema 4/10 didn't have enough time to do anything substantial. 

Overall, this was a must win game and we lose to a team that at the start of the season were called 'championship level'. At this rate that could be us so we need to win against Burnley or we could be bottom.

We move on to next week.
