Watford fell flat on the road in their second game of the season, losing 2-0 to Brighton and Hove Albion.
Here's how we rated their individual efforts.
Daniel Bachmann - 6
Left high and dry by his defenders twice. Otherwise looked in control of his area and didn't do a lot wrong.
Craig Cathcart - 5
Didn't look too bad out of position on the right again. Perhaps lacked the drive and pace to get Watford up the pitch a bit quicker with counter attacks.
William Troost-Ekong - 4.5
Headed a lot of deliveries away in the centre, but made a big mistake for the second goal with a poorly judged pass.
Christian Kabasele - 5
Had his work cut out with balls being allowed to come his way from the left-hand side. A difficult evening's work.
Adam Masina - 3.5
A torrid first half from the full back, who didn't get a lot better in the second.
Peter Etebo - 4.5
The control he had shown last week was nowhere to be seen. Struggled in the midfield.
Imran Louza - 4
No surprise to see him substituted. A tough first game.
Tom Cleverley - 4.5
The only one to have a shot on target, but was still taken out of the game far too easily.
Ismaila Sarr - 5.5
Tried as best as he could, but service was not forthcoming. A frustrating game for him.
Ken Sema - 5
Looked a bit lost on the left. Didn't adapt well in midfield when he was moved there either.
Emmanuel Dennis - 5.5
Had a chance to get Watford back into the match, but completely misjudged his run. He and Sarr couldn't link up as well as they did last week.
SUBS
Cucho Hernandez - 6
Made a positive impact, just not enough.
Joshua King - 6
Created a couple of openings after his arrival. Will hope to get more of a chance in the coming games.
Troy Deeney - N/A
Players must have played for 20 minutes or more to get a rating.
