Watford (H) Pre-Match Thread

Will Need to score 3+ tonight. Won't even be hard from that to create chances, one ball long and Deeney is walking past Kolarov.

If it's four at the back, he's done Stones a major dis-service.

Not a Stones fan so far, but benching him will be read as Pep throwing the 3 away because of Stones.

Based on early season, he's fine in a back 4.

Not happy seeing Kelechi benched either, but agree Nolito up front should do fine.

Must win.

 

[Delphacito]

But stones won't get better or improve in the system with getting dropped? Yet kolarov who is total shite compared to stones at CB gets picked!?!

We have another (bigger) game against Arsenal - Stones could be rested.

 

[Yates]

I do agree with Nolito starting up top although I'd have started Sane over Silva tonight.

 

[super_city_si]

just names on a sheet so far. We could probably have Kolarov and Sterling as wing backs wiht zabba, Otto and Clichy the back 3. Is Yaya further forward or deep alongside Gundo? Kev or Silva or Nolito left? Who the fuck knows?

 

[kaz7]

yeah i get that as I probably would as well but its probably not the right time to put him in when the team (and Pep) are under real pressure.....

People are not listening to pep,he said he won't put them in whilst we are in a bad moment,i get sick of repeating it

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

We may see the inverted full backs with gundogan in the dm/pivot role, I would have been tempted to drop silva and put sane left and Sterling right

I think you're spot on...

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He shouldn't be. He did nothing against Leicester whereas Nolito did.

He wasn't the problem. The problem is still playing.

Blaming Kelechi for everything behind him being utter gash is very unfair.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I thought bearing in mind Watfords strength is their set pieces and physicality that he would have played Sagna and Kolorov at right and left back and Stones in the middle to bring the ball out. With Yaya that gives us plenty of height at set pieces. With zab and Clichy not so much.

Not until he comes off the bench he isn't...
