Watford (a) Pre Match Thread

Resting players is all very well but when will Fernandinho get a rest lol?

Should have been tonight

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.

The question is: imperial or metric?

He’s just had two weeks off.

The answer is obviously to use both randomly to confuse people.

I'd hoped to see Ferna rested for Chelsea. I would have chanced Stones at DM and our old-boys Komps and Otto at the back. The luxury of arm-chair management.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Would of had sterling in for the goal threat without Aguero being fit, could be a long slog tonight

It seems Watford employing that strategy has seen at least some success...

I think Ferna is a freak of nature. He probably plays more games than anyone and he rarely gets substituted yet he always seem to be fit and ready to go. He is an amazing athlete. Like others have said I suspect he'll get some time off over the next couple of weeks. We need him at full power over Christmas and New Year.

Interesting team selection

Go on then, I'll rise to it - why "interesting" ?

Let's hope he doesn't have to grab Riyad by the scruff of the neck !!

When we sign a midfielder next month :)

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Two key components missing for me, Laporte and Sterling.

Vinny really doesn't provide the passing lanes we need, so lot of onus on Bernardo or Dave to give the lads at the back a safe option if Fern is covered.

Want to see Mahrez go on the outside of his marker for a change and not slow us down too much.

C'mon lads.

I find no point in second guessing peps teams. It`s so rare to get it right!
The main thing is I feel confident of a win regardless of who is picked .... anything between 3/5 - 0 will do thanks :)

Watford 0 City 3, we have too much for them:)

 

[OntarioBlue]

Sportsnet just showed the goal Sergio scored against the Rags. Never gets old.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

These games are always a balancing act, trying to decide what is the weakest team we can field but still win. If we take home the points it’s a huge win.

Rise to what?

Chill out mate
