Many Watford fans have sounded their frustrations after being on the back end of an 8-0 demolition job from Manchester City.
After the game – Quique Sanchez Flores’ second at the club – the Spaniard apologised to the fans but told them that the job at hand is a ‘collective responsibility’ – something which a few fans didn’t take so lightly to.
It was a huge reality check for Watford who would’ve been feeling a lot more optimistic after coming from 2-0 behind to draw 2-2 at Vicarage Road last week.
Bernardo Silva produced a hat-trick, while David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Riyad Mahrez, Nicolas Otamendi and Kevin De Bruyne all chipped in with one as Watford got quite frankly embarrassed.
Remarkably, it took just 18 minutes for City to find themselves 5-0 up. The picture was similar to the FA Cup final last term where City ran rampant to win the cup 6-0. It was total domination, as the 28 shots to five suggest.
Flores told the club website: “We need to say sorry to the fans.
“This is a collective responsibility, we are a pack and one of the strengths is a pack being strong together.”
Unfortunately for Flores, it seems that most of this pack just want their £30 back after having their Saturday ruined.

You need to refund the poor sods of fans that forked out to go up and watch the dross today! Ticket refund and travel expenses – maybe shell out and buy them a beer aswell.

The £30 back out of his pocket will be enough. Embarrassing.

Only way to apologise to the fans is by refunding them

Will be interesting to see who QSF picks for the Wolves game. If at least 6 of that starting 11 aren’t dropped it’s sending the wrong message already. I don’t care how many appearances, how old, who you’ve played for, too many think they’re better than what they are. Squad game..

Some players walked straight down the tunnel. I paid to watch that rubbish. A clap of appreciation from all the players would have been welcome.

I don’t want an apology. I need a cuddle!
