Bbc report says we offered very little going forwards. If that's the case then it's becoming a concerning theme. We've got quality in our side and they should be allowed to just bombard the opposition in full flow attacking football. We had 66% possession today, can someone who was at the match confirm how much of that in watfords half?

I was surprised at the possession figures, but the great majority of our possession was in our own half or in the middle of the park. A lot of passing between the defenders, Kuszczack and Andrews followed by a pointless long ball upfield. In fact their second goal was due to too much passing at the back when the ball should have been quickly moved upfield.

15 shots at goal though, 4 more than Watford. Surely accuracy is more of a issue than tactics?

Sounds about right as we rarely seem unable to create chances.

I don't know how many times we've hit the woodwork this season but it feels like a lot, if we had the extra inch on the correct side of the post for those attempts then (almost, this is NSC) no-one would be questioning the build up play that preceded them.

How can you expect to win games with 1 shot on target in 90 minutes

How can you expect to win games with 1 shot on target in 90 minutes, piss poor! Garcia must realise we cannot play the Barca way,where everyone contributes with goals! He needs to look at his tactics/formation.One winger which is a total inbalance at this level especially when playing only one striker.If he feels he needs an extra body in the middle of the pitch, then the ones playing there are obviously not good enough! This is the Championship!

Why haven't you mentioned that we had more shots than them?

People seem to think 4-4-2 will improve our accuracy and chance creation rate! Possibly because this was the common formation these people were used to growing up. Teams actually create more chances playing in a 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 formation (as it gives more freedom and options for creativity), our problem is only one player in the box... Because the rest of the players who should be making runs in there aren't. Crofts was good at doing that though, that's what we're missing. 4-4-2 is not the answer to our goal drought, it's getting better quality out wide and in the middle.

I'd be a bit concerned if we switched to the 4-4-2 system that some people are wanting because firstly our squad was never built for that system, and secondly because it would mean Oscar has abandoned his ideas on how the game should be played and started to panic.
