Palace string together a neat move but it all unwinds via a slack touch from Yohan Cabaye.
The longer it goes on, and the worse this game gets, the more depressing and annoying your pictures become.
Oh for....
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
Not jealous Rob. At all.
Watford make a change and it's Steven Berghuis on for Almen Abdi. I confess I don't know much about Berghuis. Let's see what he's all about.

Aidy Boothroyd
Former Watford boss on Radio 5 live sports extra
“Palace should be in front, that is a bread and butter chance for Dwight Gayle. It came from the Watford right back being under pressure from Sako, it was a lovely ball that beat everybody but Gayle couldn’t finish.”

Bag of tricks off, bag of tricks on. Bakary Sako replaced by Wilfried Zaha for Crystal Palace. Can he find us a goal?
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
And that's both sides who have hit the crossbar in this half! This is for once wonderful stuff down the left as Bakary Sako beats his man and puts over a fine low cross, in the corridor and Dwight Gayle stretches to reach it. He's never fully in control of the shot though and can only loop an effort against the outside of the post/bar.

Aidy Boothroyd
Former Watford boss on Radio 5 live sports extra
“There is gaps now developing between Crystal Palace’s midfield and the back four, I just wonder if that is playing into Watford’s hands a little bit?”
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
Bakary Sako scuffs a free-kick wide for Palace as both sides look desperately for a spark of imagination. The crowd have gone very quiet and you can't blame them.
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
Corner for Watford whipped in, Sebastian Prodl has a free header but he somehow misreads the flight of it and the chance is gone. The Hornets turning the screw.

Where are you today whilst keeping track of Watford v Crystal Palace? Samir made a good choice....
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
Great strike! Watford come close again as Almen Abdi thumps in a shot from 20 yards which calls Wayne Hennessey into flying action. Lovely hit.
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
That free-kick was something of a false dawn as the game descends back into a midfield lull. Perhaps a change from the bench can find the breakthrough
Watford have Alessandro Diamanti available, or Palace could turn to the unpredictable talent of Wilf Zaha.

You do not get much closer to scoring than that. What a hit by Jose Jurado. Crystal Palace have reacted well though, attacking with pace and threat down the left and winning a free-kick of their own.

Aidy Boothroyd
Former Watford boss on Radio 5 live sports extra
“Considering the size of the wall that is a terrific effort at goal. I don’t think Hennessey had it covered – unfortunately for Jurado it's just a little bit too high for him.”
Watford 0-0 Crystal Palace
That's more like it! Wonderful strike from Watford midfielder Jose Jurado, as he shakes, rattles and rolls the crossbar with a 20-yard free-kick! Great strike, and Troy Deeney can't keep the rebound down.

No changes in personnel as we get the second-half under way. Things can only get better...
