I thought they were ok- good with the ball and good going forward. We were poor though and gave them 3 goals

Loan System is a joke but they were a cut above, even if we were on form we'd have struggled tbh.

Ridiculous. Something needs to be done about the loan rules.

Of the loanees, I thought Chalobah looked the most impressive. He was running the game in midfield.

Good luck to them, very difficult to dislike anything about Watford, softest and nicest fans who have stuck around during some shitty times, love Zola, great football tonight.

Must be a bit concerning to support a club that is now in existence just to give experience to Udinese players. I would hate it if that ever happened to us.

So would I, but as Zola said in the post match interview, they hope to buy the best ones, they have the money now, and as long as they are not breaking any rules it seems fair enough to me.

Even if they haven't got the money, the owners can just move the players around the various clubs they own. It all seems very dodgy to me which is probably why they chose a small club like Watford to utilise it.

We were beaten by a very competent team tonight. We were crap, but they were very good. Thought Chalobah looked very good.

Loanees or not, they deserve credit for their performance both tonight and throughout the first half of the season. Chalobah (no.39) was top notch in the middle of the park and that Hogg is a tricky little lad.

Agreed, some of the one touch stuff was top notch. They produced a brilliant move in the first half which result in the PIG making a great save. Not too down about losing to a very good team.
