Saturday 7 March 2020. 3pm on a dull but mild Saturday afternoon. We are outplayed by Watford, fresh from their win over Liverpool, in a game full of errors and lack of ambition on our part, but with a beautiful strike from Ayew that gives us victory and a surely safe-now tally of 39 points. As in the Brighton game, we saw glimpses of Benteke where he took control in moves that led to a goal. But what we seem to lack most of all, is a creative midfielder through whom to channel our play and move it forwards.
