You want someone to just come on and make that run.
In fact, the substitutions of this game have affected it massively.
The subs that Silva's made, unfortunately, have gone against him with that tracking piece he should do there.
And the Chelsea substitutions have inspired the game.
And sometimes that happens as a manager.
You know, you call those moments and Silva will be like, oh my God, should I have mentioned, you know, tracking your runners, et cetera, et cetera.
95th minute, Batshuayi makes sure of all the points.
4-2.
By this point, have the Watford levels that have been so high throughout the game just begun to drop off?
Yeah, a little bit.
And a mistake there.
It's a poor piece of play.
You're trying to play out from the back, but there's a little bit of desperation.
But again, I think you've got to credit him.
I think, you know, he bats your eye, he came on, points approved, strength there, too strong for him, holds the defender off and a lovely little finish.
And that will give him a lot of confidence.
What he's got to start doing is doing it from, you know, instead of coming off the bench.
But, you know, as a manager, Al, when you make your substitutions, you're looking for a reaction and something to happen.
And he gave his manager that.
Yeah, good desire.
