Watford (h) pre-match thread

Strange line-up. Who’s gonna play left wing?

Hopefully mahrez, let him whip some crosses in, instead of shooting every chance he can cutting in from the right.

Is Zinchenko injured?

Strange for him to go from the first team to not on the bench if he isn't injured, more so due to the fact he can cover 3 or 4 positions as a sub.

Bernardo centrally????

Junkers interview was hardly fuck all i mean had he sat there and said a deal was impossible it would have had you and others salivating over it so forgive me for

Gone off in a huff or having a well earned rest

Blimey I buggered that one up

Gone to his head lol

Yes, crazy statement, good performances have never ever gone to the head of a young player before.

The rest will do him good, anyway

Maybe playing some kind of 442 like we did against Shaktar

Very interesting line-up indeed!
Only change I would’ve made would be David Silva out, Sterling in, and pair Bernardo in midfield with KDB and Rodri.

Bernardo is an exceptional player and maybe Pep feel it’s a waste to play him in midfield instead of the wing where he uses his creativity. But playing him in the middle of the park with KDB where they both press so much with their crazy workrate would improve our pressing and also give us a bit more security when getting countered.

Remember Bernardo against Liverpool in January.

Ahh, I was wondering why I ended up in off topic.

to play League Cup games it seems. No way he will play at Everton, if not against Watford

I think if Mendy didn't have to start then Cancelo would have been in the first 11 today but an 'untried' RB and a LB who isn't fully match fit is too much of a risk.
