Watford (h) pre-match thread

No Chance.
Watford are packed with power, energy and speed.
Results may not have gone their way but they have some very, very handy individual players with the abilities to pick off and bulldoze an aged Toure

A strong indication for me at how important the CM position is to fill in the summer as we simply cannot afford to rest Ferna in any game against anything other than cannon fodder at the moment.

If we don't it will kill us later on in season so on that I'll be happy to take a chance in a home game against a poor Watford team with yaya in.

What price a Watford player picking up a red card tonight for nothing by comparison with recent assaults?

Now that would be interesting viewing. I don't think we've played v 10 men yet (aside from Everton for a couple mins). My heart says a landslide victory, but head says we struggle to break down a mahoosive bus!

I totally get it mate and I agree he needs resting, but this is not a poor Watford team
They played Chelsea off the park at the bridge, beat arsenal, drew with liverpool and stood in the top 4 for a while as you know

I'm only arsed because their best player is Doucoure in CM and he would walk all over Yaya given the chance to run. no way that guy is at Watford next year

Liverpool 10 men :-)

No De Bruyne for me if fit, rest him the next 7-10 days. Opportunity for Ilkay and Bernardo to impress, and the 2 upcoming cup games for that matter. What I would like to see is for Sergio and Leroy to get back to form, and even though Watford will be no pushover I think it provides the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Deeney still absent through suspension I see

Fairly straightforward game-plan for Watford tonight: kick the fuck out of our lads, get away with it and go home happy with a point. Let's hope the Pepmeister can work some magic again and get us the three points. CTID.

Believe me yaya worry's me too but in a game where we will have 75% possession I defo think its a small gamble to take
