Watford EFL Cup 3rd Rd (H) | Man of the Match

[kun]

Easily Rico for me.

Grealish did well and Savinho looked electric off the bench but Lewis was just a class act from minute 1. Linking play, taking up brilliant positions, defensive contributions and got himself an assist.

 

[jimharri]

Jack for me. But Rico pushed him close.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Jack.
Nunes was in the running till 30 mins to go when he just stopped.

 

[mosssideblue]

Jack

 

[Joe Corrigan's legs]

Rico for me but Jack excellent as well ... younger lads accounted for themselves very well ... special mention for 16 year debutant Kaden Braithwaite - wow

 

[bearcityblu]

Super Jack with Rico a close 2nd.

 

[WestGorton]

Lewis

 

[bennyboy]

Rico but Savinho the best in the second half
I see the Jack fan club is out on force.
Good game but motm no.

 

[cleavers]

Funny how people see things, I thought Savinho was only interested in scoring a goal, his crossing was poor, and he constantly made the wrong decisions. Grealish did a lot of good things, but again I thought he was a bit selfish. I thought Phil had a poor night, not really sure where he was meant to be playing to be honest.

I thought Nunes played well until near the end, and gave it to him, nice goal too. Rico was consistent, thought the kids all looked OK, though McAtee also faded in the second half I thought.

 

[moomba]

Rico by a mile.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Jack for me. Deserved a goal for his efforts.

 

[bondsman]

Lewis for me and I thought McAtee was great. Amazed 25 people voted Nunes took his goal well but did sod all else. Looked nothing like a 50m player let alone an option in Rodri’s absence.

 

[David Kloppesh]

Rico, Jack and McAtee. I think James did great for both goals, but Rico plays so intelligently, so good.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Went for Plug

 

[Vienna_70]

Rico, followed by Jack.

 

[cleavers]

Amazed 25 people voted Nunes took his goal well but did sod all else. Looked nothing like a 50m player let alone an option in Rodri’s absence.

He didn't play anything like Rodri, and certainly won't be his replacement, if Pep was thinking that he'd have played that role tonight. I thought he played well, made himself available, kept the ball well, passed it well for me, had a quiet last 15 minutes though.

There was nothing in tonights game that gave a clue who will replace Rodri in the team, absolutely nothing.

 

[Blue Steel]

Grealish did a lot of good things, but again I thought he was a bit selfish.

Grealish selfish??? Literally the most unselfish player in the squad. Constantly trying to set up his teammates and never taking wasteful shots on goal himself.

 

[DD]

Grealish? Do me a favour. Circles foot over ball and prods ball into full back's legs, ad nauseum.

Rico by a country mile.

Savinho and Nunes next best.

 

[cleavers]

Grealish selfish??? Literally the most unselfish player in the squad. Constantly trying to set up his teammates and never taking wasteful shots on goal himself.

Yes he usually is I'd agree, but I thought he held the ball too long at times tonight, trying to create a chance for himself.

I didn't think our more senior players tonight were always a good example to the youngsters.

 

[Vienna_70]

Rico by a mile. Grealish was good. Impressed with Braithwaite.

It said on the BBC that Kaden was born five months, before Sheikh Mansour bought the club.
