Watford (A) Pre-Match Thread

[lionheart]

Am absolutely fuming that Walker, Laporte, KDB and Sterling are anywhere near this . Watford have several bone crunchers in their team and will be out to make an impression. Pep may regret this selection.

 

[Akpowell]

Didn't think he'd go that strong good team

 

[Blue Potato]

Decent line up, hopefully Cancelo looks comfortable at LB - Sarr can be a handful at times so should be a good test for him ahead of Madrid

 

[abu13]

Good se to Cancelo being given a chance at left back, I think there is little doubt anymore that Laporte and Garcia are the preferred centre half pairing.

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

As losing this game virtually relegates Villa I'm going for an injured Bravo in nets , Bob Taylor, Gerry Creaney up front feeding off Rick Holden and Commander Terry Cooke

 

[Whether or not]

Correct team selection, it is a genuine game for Watford and we need to respect the league, even if the league does not respect us. Experiment against Norwich.

 

[Kokonut1307]

Time for Gabby to payback Pep’s trust and make a mark on that ST position.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I don’t really understand why we aren’t playing a few youngsters, Doyle for instance

the seasons over. If we can’t play them in a meaningless game when can we

 

[St.Pauli support]

If Zin isn't injured that's a clear hint towards Real with Mendy suspended.

Maybe even transfer business for Zin?

 

[MCFC1993]

I was hoping for Cancelo at left back, he can't be worse than Mendy or Zinchenko.

 

[domalino]

no chance silva won’t start vs Madrid. He’s our form player.

Also remember we are defending a lead. I expect we will pick a side vs. Madrid to dominate possession, defend that way and then hit them on the break if they try to press us to get the ball back.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I was expecting to see some youngsters, at the very least on the bench

There are teams at the bottom whose season isn’t over this includes Watford.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Wasn’t expecting it to be that strong, cancelo st left back and one of Foden/Bernardo in the middle are the positive experiences to take from this

 

[Akpowell]

How many assists does Kev need for the record?

Perhaps Pep doesn’t want to make it 10 league loses in a season

 

[WickyWain]

How many assists does Kev need for the record?

2 to equal, 3 to beat it

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Hope cancelo has a solid game at LB, could be another option there moving forward

Or he may not.

I was expecting Braaf or at least Doyle
