Watford were the architects of their own downfall as mistakes cost them in their 1-0 defeat at Barnsley.
Here's how we rated their individual performances.
Ben Foster - 5
Not a lot he could've done for the goal, but his distribution was poor and he lacked urgency.
Ken Sema - 5
Didn't really offer anything going forward and was struggled defensively, particularly in the first-half.
Ben Wilmot - 4
At fault for the goal and was unable to steer a good chance on target in the second-half.
William Troost-Ekong - 5
Struggled with playing out from the back and gave away possession cheaply.
Craig Cathcart - 5
Also struggled to deal with Barnsley's pressing and looked unconvincing in possession.
Kiko Femenia - 6.5
By some distance Watford's best player in attack, but couldn't really create any clear-cut chances.
Etienne Capoue - 5.5
Still off the pace and in need of time to adapt. His passing got better as the game went on, but there was still no real incisiveness.
Tom Cleverley - 5
Too slow to release the ball when teammates were making runs in behind. Missed an absolute sitter as well.
Nathaniel Chalobah - 5
Offered little connectivity between the strikers and the defenders. Could be one of the players Ivic feels is lacking confidence.
Ismaila Sarr - 5.5
Doesn't look comfortable playing as a striker, but even his forrays down the wing offered little.
Joao Pedro - 5
No shots on target suggests that the forwards didn't have their best games. Pedro was starved of service and couldn't create much for himself.
SUBS
James Garner - 5.5
Had no real impact in what was a fairly anonymous cameo.
Andre Gray - 5.5
Had no real service or any chances to make an impact. Not really his fault, but he couldn't get into the game.
Will Hughes - N/A
Arrived too late to make an impact.
