We still were (and are) better than that lot though.

And pressing constantly is not something you can do for ninety minutes


Same problem for them as last season, just not scoring enough goals

I'm not impressed with the pressing in the game taken on board by everyone - it's fucking turgid to watch this Bielsa school of tactics sweep across the game. It's fine if the team has the real technical ability to harass the opposition, win the ball and zip it about to feet but it's gradually made the league here miserable to watch. It's like half a league full of Atleticos grinding down the opposition, constantly tapping ankles but without most of the technical ability. 100 mile an hour football, played on the break by fitness freak athletes. Leicester was a great 'story' but their style last season absolutely epitomised this joy-sapping approach.

Just watched the highlights.
To me it just showed what poor quality the BLitW is. Almost every goal was scrappy, pub team stuff.
Sort of thing I'd expect to see on Hackney Marshes

I agree with that. I rarely watch football these days if Arsenal aren't involved.

Watford: Gomes, Kaboul, Prödl, Britos, Janmaat, Capoue, Behrami, Holebas, Amrabat, Deeney, Pereyra.

Stoke: Grant, Johnson, M.Indi, Muniesa, Pieters, Imbula, Adam, Walters, Shaqiri, Arnautovic, Diouf.

Watford 0-1 Stoke, Gomes OG.
