Can we find out from Pep what he did to turn Raheem Sterling into a decent finisher. Antoine could be something very special if he develops that composure in front of goal. He's not a local lad I'm afraid, we picked him up at a exit trial. But he does feel local I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Overall, I’m quite happy with that result and performance, especially given how low my expectations were after seeing the team sheets. We gave up few clear cut chances, despite what Ben Foster seemed to think after the game. Semenyo should have scored one of his chances and Diedhiou was terribly unlucky that Foster’s leg flicked his chance away from him. If only a couple of chances from corners had fallen to someone other than Taylor Moore. But let’s put this in perspective. We had a back three of Moore, Vyner and Rowe who kept Gray so quiet he got subbed and prevented Sarr from doing too much. Hunt and Dasilva had good games, working with others to double up and stop crosses coming in from the wings. O’Dowda was a menace, constantly trying to win the ball back and move forward. Nagy was tireless and neat on the ball. Paterson looked to get forward as much as he could and had one decent effort. My only quibble could be with Diedhiou and how he held the ball up to bring others in to play, but he did really well defensively. A point against Watford is a decent result. We could have won, and I certainly felt we had the clearer chances despite what the commentators seemed to think. Well done City. If we can find a way to beat Reading, that’s a great point.

Terrible game to watch, massive lack of entertainment and a superb point from an injury depleted side in the kind of game we'd have lost last year.

It isn't the first time and it most certainly won't be the last. The boys did well tonight, especially the young 'uns which was great to see.

grifty Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I felt sorry for C'OD. There was about 5 occasions where he'd battle really hard against 1 or 2 Watford midfielders, manage to come away with and promptly pass it straight back to them or out of play. If he can get a bit more composure on the ball, he'd be key in breaking forward quickly to provide some chances up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 The first half we seemed to persuade ourselves we were inferior. Bentley was time-wasting at goal kicks from the 20 minute point! The ref let us get away with a lot! Vyner did two blatant shoves on the edge of the box and the ref played on and there were a few other little fouls too. I didn't expect that second half improvement but by the end we'd had more good chances than Watford. Amazing that we now rely on Semenyo to create something. He very very nearly did. Amazing that he's succeeded where Palmer and Elliasson both failed in being an undroppable flair player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanburyRed Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Happy with a point. Even happier to be 3rd in the table, only Norwich and Bournemouth ahead, after 13 games. 3pts off top, 2pts off 2nd. Happy bloody days right now.

It’s one of the reasons that stops him for being a really good player at this level. using his body better to shield the ball and decision making .

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Was a good point, especially given the injuries and Covid. Much better 2nd half. That miss by Diedhiou though- looked easier to score, was pretty close to point blank wasn't it?? Had more of the ball than the first half, created more as well- looked more cohesive. Semenyo looked bright, lively- that one for Diedhiou and the other across the box. In fact it's been great to see the blossoming in particular of Bakinson and Semenyo- these are the two standouts- but also the growth of Vyner and Moore. In the case of Vyner, perhaps a bit unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunalty that is typical of COD, can carry the ball forward really well but seems to never get his head up to play the right pass. Hence possession repeatedly too easily lost.
