Watford (a) Pre Match Thread

[Dax777]

#MCFC XI to face #WatfordFC: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Stones, Delph, Fernandinho, D. Silva, B. Silva, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

Sounds about right. Would have rested Dihno for Gundogan

 

[scousemanc]

No Laporte. Eeek.

No Sterling. Eeker

 

[oakiecokie]

A bit casual, the way you said that.

He must have arthritis in the fingers.

 

[Dax777]

Kompany in to combat Deeney I guess.

Nah, just basic rotation to keep everyone fresh. As Laporte is just as good with bullies.

 

[ohfk]

My 3 FF blues, laporte,sterling, aguero! Fug it, I'll take 3 points in the real league against 20 in the fantasy. Whoever said earlier they "love Pep" as the boss but in FF "hate the bald ****"

Ain't dat da truth! :)

First tackle a yellow on six minutes?

Sooner the better! Mourinho will be available shortly

Mahrez on right slows things down a bit too much.
All the pace will have to come from Sane.
Laporte a big miss he has well been really solid.
One of our centre halves will have to play on wrong side.
Watford will think they have a chance.
May not be pretty tonight but hoping we just get the job done.

Trying to word this right but
It breaks my heart that I look at that line up and my only concern is that we have Kompany in the starting 11, Stones and LaPorte have been immense for us and any other pairing looks weak by comparison. It's clear that this legend is coming to the end of his career with us and in now 4th in the pecking order but I can't imagine our club without him as the figurehead.
Just to be clear, i have no doubt that he will put in an excellent performance as usual tonight and it is quite right that he starts games, not just because of rotation but also because he is a class player.

Ah well, not like we've to worry about him picking up enough bookings to get suspended.

 

[Dax777]

Otto played last game with Laporte. Rotation of the back four. Keeping everyone fresh. John and Eric will resume their partnership vs Chelsea and I expect Ota' and Kompany to play the cup and CL games coming up.

Ah well, not like we've to worry about him picking up enough bookings to get suspended.

Only needs two tonight to get a ban.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Good line up.

Very true

Whatever would we do if he got banned?
