Bailey

Gueye not tracking his man again and Barry has to bail him out. Lukaku is putting more tackles than the rest of the team atm.

Deeney just missed another sitter, Coleman had lost him.

Terrible defending from Williams & Gueye. No communication whatsoever.

I still haven't seen any evidence of pressing from anyone.

In terms of quality this is fucking shocking from both sides.

Good tracking from Gerry there. Coleman and Williams made it to easy for Okaka to play the ball to Holebas.

Deene just miscontrolled an almost certain goal...lucky escape.

This Okaka is becoming a pain in the arse.

Great ball from Barry but that's shocking defending from Watford. Good sharp movement from Lukaku though.

In defence we are playing 424... not sure what we are doing in attack other than getting forward as quickly as possible!

Haha that is the worry! At least if we do have a genuine 3 pronged attack we have more chance of picking up the second ball.

I don't mind 433 as long as the wingers are more like inside forwards and a lot closer to Lukaku than they normally are. We can be really aggressive in centre midfield with Gana and McCarthy regaining possession a lot. The last thing I want to see is McCarthy playing wide.

He hasn't done badly for a guy that can't play as a sole striker!

I think he is decent, still a bit raw but the talent looks like it's there. Direct and quick and I think I have seen him take corners/free kicks but could be wrong.

I think he got injured for a large chunk of last season. He always seems to be mentioned in game reports I read but at the same time some of them are sub appearances.

Me neither... he couldn't get united in the top 4 so why would he get us there? We were only ever also rans under him the two managers since at least have the attitude to be the best even if it hasn't or isn't working out that well just now.

I will be amazed if he starts at the weekend. It would be a bit too faced of Koeman to keep him in. You can't keep calling out the outfield players in press conferences, rotating and dropping and yet leave the guy that is actively losing us points on the pitch.

Here here!

Yep why have Lukaku when you can get Shane Long... who wants 20-30 goals & assists a season when you can run 20 miles a game but couldn't hit a barn door. Although in fairness Koeman's tactics are showing why Shane Long did so well last year!

Am I surprised that he came last and I would be interested to see where other strikers came but at the same time, I would be expecting him, as a central striker, to be run less distance than any of the outfield players bar maybe the centre backs. His main work will be short sharp bursts and not running the length of the pitch. Can anyone get access to the full list?

He certainly has an unknown quality about him but I don't think I have ever seen a player lose the ball as often as he has done recently.

It looks far worse in slow mo than it really is. He clearly knows what he is doing but it's one of them that you take note of and then get him back later in the game. Either you or a team mate. Happens all the time in my 5 a side league, happened all the time when I played rugby too. At the end of the game you shake hands and have a pint together. Yes it's bullying if you want to be soft like that but that's why he is one of the best players in the league. Same with Costa, albeit he is actually a nasty player.

I did a similar thing with Fifa. I was only left with Lukaku, Bolasie, Gerry, Ross, McCarthy, Gana, Baines, Williams, RFM and Coleman. Holgate/Galloway etc have stuck around with Dowell and Davies getting games from the bench. Straight in was a keeper, a young replacement for Barry, a young beast of a centre back and another big young striker in Roms mould (physically). If only it was that easy!

I get the same feeling however he started with a good balance and has then tinkered it. Lennon isn't going to be one of his style of players yet he has started him a couple of times and he was anonymous too.

Surely that tops anything Martinez ever said! I obviously don't want him to be injured but at the same time I would prefer that he started on the bench. It should give Mirallas and Gerry a chance to play a run of games. He does have the most assists but other than Lukaku he has probably played the most minutes too.
