There were a few villains of the piece and Watson wasn’t really to blame.
Evans first attempted clearance after an awful first touch was poor.
The subsequent throw in was taken 20 yards away from where it should have been and gave them a clear advantage as it got them in behind.
A chance to clear on the edge of the box was then squandered.
After Watson had made the initial save (which actually wasn’t a bad one) – the lad who ran in and tapped in did so smoking an absolute cigar without a defender, let alone a challenge, in sight.
Watson probably slightly over dived for the initial save so it went back into the mix but he was well down my list of culprits for that goal to the point he wasn’t actually on the list at all.
He also had a very decent game – lest we forget the one on one etc.
Overall i had no complaints with his performance.
Sone of the analysis on this board is genuinely funny. It’s like listening to a load of 8 year olds – the goalkeeper let them all in so it must be all his fault we just got done 12-0.
Spot on apb. There’s certainly some blow hards around who deem themselves experts in goalkeeping punditry, as tedious and predictable as Match of the Day pundits.
