Watford (a) Pre Match Thread

Our defence tonight wont take any prisoners , very strong at the back , considering we have a few absentees that's a very good side , looking forward to this because Watford can only play on the front foot , a goal fest in the offering ?

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.

So which is it?

Sooner the better! Mourinho will be available shortly

On second thoughts Pep can stay!

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.

Yep. Stones and Laporte now first choice. (Sorry Vinnie if you're reading this I still love you)

Whatever would we do if he got banned?

Keep a clean sheet.

if JG was missing sitter after sitter, moping about like a Sami Nasri, then maybe the shite aimed at him on BM would have point. Seems we HAVE to have a scape-goat , nothing new, seen it time again going back to Billy Macadams. Old habits an' that. All together now " We're City, we boo who we want".....

First tackle a yellow on six minutes?

Obviously

That's how I see it too

Hahaha ouch.

There are some big 'units' in that Watford line up. Not a night for gifting up free kicks that can be thumped into our box.
