Watford (a) pre-match thread

Pretty sure we played a 4-1-2-1-2 when sterling came on the other day. We didn't see much rotation with the formation last season, it's changing every game this time around.

Pleased by that. Delphi was excellent in the games he was fit last season I thought.

Mangala rehabilitated would also be some player.

Same here,they able to be decent squad players to take the strain off the others

Solid. Not much tinkering from the manager. It didn't really do us any favours last season.

As much as I appreciate the time and effort Pep puts into choosing a starting XI for each match, sometimes I think it'll be easier to win the league if we use a more solid lineup, as suggested by the last two title winners.

Leicester 2015/16: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs, Albrighton, Kanté, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Okazaki, Vardy
Chelsea 2016/17: Courtois, Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Alonso, Kanté, Matic, Moses, Pedro, Costa, Hazard

Hopefully

I think it might be more a 4 1 3 2.

Good line up. My only gripe is that I'd like to have seen Leroy start, especially after his display last Saturday.

4-4-2 diamond with Sterling as the number 10? I think that's his best position, particularly behind two strikers.

Good line up. My only gripe is that I'd like to have seen Leroy start, especially after his display last Saturday.

Lethal against a tired fullback though (:

The thing is we have got such a strong squad now there will always be big players on the bench,the rest have earned their places as well,nice dilema to have
