The legendary musician shared his frustration on Instagram following the team's heavy defeat to Burnley.
Sir Elton John has publicly voiced his disappointment with the recent performances of his boyhood club, Watford FC. The legendary musician shared his feelings on Instagram after the Hornets suffered a significant 4-0 loss to Burnley on Saturday.
John, who previously served as the club's chairman and oversaw its most successful era, expressed his upset over the team's declining form. In a comment on the club's official Instagram post, he stated, "As a lifetime supporter of Watford FC, I am very upset and disappointed at the decline over the past few weeks. I really feel for the other supporters who have to watch this."
The recent defeat marks Watford's fifth loss in their last six matches, placing them just one point above the relegation zone in the Championship. Following the match, the team was met with boos from the home crowd.
Manager Alessio Dionisi also addressed the team's performance, apologizing for the result and acknowledging issues with attitude and team balance. "It's difficult to speak about it after a 4-0 loss, because I'm not happy about the first half, and I'm not happy about the second half," Dionisi said. "The problem now is the attitude, the team, the coach, everyone. Not one player or one striker."
Dionisi emphasized that the team needs to play with a strong mentality and together, noting that there isn't a single standout player carrying the team. He concluded by reiterating his apology for the match and the result.
