Well its three points ,but it certainly wasn't the breeze people make out ,we made hard work out of disposing of an ordinary outfit . Mignolet was forced into making some great saves and Skrtel had to hurl himself at full stretch to block two definite goals. I thought Allen gave the ball away too much and his first half pass to the opposition nearly led to an Ighalo goal ,in truth albeit from the goal he was guilty of trying too much with the ball at his feet when the better option would have been to play the simple pass. I still don't rate Stewart he's tidy enough ,but a midfield pairing of him and Allen struggled to retain the ball when Watford had a spell of control.
Both of them are not anywhere near the quality needed to wrestle away the oppositions grip on the game. Stewarts a fighter and he battles for the ball well enough ,but enough sides in both the Premiership and Championship have one of those ,games will be few and far between for the lad when we have Grujic ,Can and whoever else the manager gifts us with.
Mignolet Lucas and Skrtel were both solid ,and without their intervention in a host of Watford chances it could have been a very different score line,so for that reason they share the top man award.
Last word must go on the atmosphere at Anfield ,muted would be an understatement ,abysmal would some it up perfectly !
