Watford defender Christian Kabasele admits their position isn't good enough.

Watford host Manchester United today sitting rock bottom.

"It is really bad. I think there are no other words when you see the quality of our squad and we are still last place in December," he told the Daily Mail.

"When you see the numbers, it is quite simple. We haven't scored a lot. We concede too much. We've been good at the back in some games but didn't get goals. When we score, we let in three or four.

"I don't think there's been a Premier League team with nine points at this stage who has stayed up, but it's an exciting challenge. We need the spirit and quality we showed in our last two games against Crystal Palace and Liverpool. If we'd done that all season, we'd be higher in the league, but this is the situation."
