Watford (A) Pre-Match Thread

[SebastianBlue]

Ultimately a training match for our CL campaign.

I think we’ll see Doyle, Bernie, and Stones to rest a few players, including David and Kev.

Apart from that, I reckon we would be happy with a good performance, regardless of the eventual result, after the disappointment against Arsenal.

They'll fancy it after watching that farce this evening. Don't forget, they drybummed the scousers at a time when they (the scousers) were flying. Underestimate the Hornets at our peril.

No underestimation, but the match ultimately means nothing to our season, hence it is functionally a training exercise.

We will want a response from the FA Cup debacle, anything else is a plus, with more important things to come.

Just try to improve our form and gain some momentum.

Let's give Pep a day off and see if Juanma Lillo can come up with a more iterative game plan we do the repetition but forget the learning

Couldn’t give a rats arse about this and norwich. I just really hope between now and Madrid we see last seasons City

 

[SWPISHOME]

Any chance we can boycott this game and just award the points to Watford?

 

[Cobra]

Give Harwood-Bellis and Doyle a start. We haven’t really got anything to lose.

 

[dhruvblue]

Would be nice if Cole Palmer Braaf or Doyle feature but we will go full strength and kids may. Not get match time even during this meaningless run in PL

 

[Blu1]

Play the kids & let the first team re watch the arsenal game

 

[Gabriel]

They'll be up for it, so in some respects, we'll have to field a strong side for the sake of the çompetition'. That said, I fear a kicking match so keep de Bruyne and Laporte out of it.

Fair play to Watford, after the Cup final and pasting earlier in the season, I doubted they'd still be in contention with two games to go.
