Well played Watford. Chelsea were awful and it could have been an even bigger score line

Does this Watford performance not show how wrong we are to respect the big clubs and not go for them?

These aren't the players you're looking for.

We did go for Chelsea and Manchester United as I recall.

I feel like Chelsea have lost to all of our rivals - I reckon a league table with results v Chelsea expunged would have us nearly safe?!
Watford would have lost that if they’d kept Silva.
Best decision they could have made sacking him, they were going down but will probably have enough to stay up now.

How **** must we be, losing to Chelsea?
We also went for Liverpool in the 1st half hour before they scored and then prior to about three break away goals!

Signing Lennon will improve our attacking options no end. I am especially looking forward to see how well he links up with our best player, midfield schemer Steven Defour, but unfortunately will have to wait until next season. Defour underwent a knee cartilage op this week and misses the rest of the season and probably the World Cup for Belgium. We could well have finished 7th and qualified for Europe if Defour (and Lennon) had stayed fit but I cannot see us finishing higher than 10th now.
Whatever, neutrals should see a more expansive Burnley style next season - more goals for and more against.

I've been wondering, is Hughton too rash?

He barely plays for Belgium anyway does he? Can't imagine he'd have made their squad.

Think you would have imagined very wrong.
He has won several more caps since joining Burnley in August 2016 and has been in EVERY Belgium squad so far this season. Belgium are quite well blessed when it comes to midfielders compared to England.
Sir Alex Ferguson really rated Defour who was reportedly on th verge of signing for United before he suffered a bad foot injury. I read somewhere that he had to have a "type of cement" grafted into bone. Amazing he can still play to such a top-class standard - man of the match in his last game (ironically against United in the 0-1 defeat on Jan 20). Still, he has that "worldie" to dream about - the free-kick in the 2-2 draw at OT on Boxing Day.
De Gea was left floundering - the only time anyone has scored against him from outside the area this season.

Four caps since joining Burnley iin August 2016 - played in 2014 World Cup but lost his place when returning from Porto to the low-standard Belgian League.
In the last squad, he was on the bench but was controversially being kept out by Axel Witsel, who plies his trade in the Chinese League. Martinez has been at Turf Moor a couple of times this season to check on Defour, so it was looking good for SD - who was leading the race to be Burnley's player of the year before his unfortunate injury.
He is still only 29 with one year left on his contract so I hope we can tie him down to a new deal by offering enough to stop him going to China or the Middle-East.
He has to be a bit of a legend after winning his first cap at the tender age of 18 - not many England players get a cap so young.
