    Absolutely serious. He's all fart and no poo most of the time. Bags of ability but his poor decision making coupled with the fact he looks dead on his feet after an hour mean he is inconsistent and wasteful. I'm also well aware that if he consistently played at the height of his abilities he would not be at Watford.

    When he is 'on it' he is brilliant. When he isn't on it he is a waste of a shirt.

    Nope. Sir Almen Abdi has that particular honour.

    That's a good shout.

    I think it is a bit far fetched to say Deulofeu is our best player of all time when he isn't even the best player in the current team. Sarr is a better player than Deulofeu by some distance.

    I think he's a Gylfi Sigurdsson type.

    Big fish small pond. I don't think he'll look so spectacular elsewhere, his inconsistencies and decision making is why he's at Watford.

    You mean poor-decision making like choosing to join us ?

    Worked hard and forced the keeper into a mistake for the first. Not sure what he did wrong today?

    He is certainly being made to work much harder recently and it shows.

    Brilliant player. Even in his less than impressive days he's class. A constant threat and worry to the opposition. Always trying to unhinge his opponent with his direct running and trickery. It doesn't always come off, but I love the bloke. He's a winner.

    better than Barnes?

    Barnes is ok for Burnley, but Gerri is miles better than him.

    Really enjoyed overhearing Pearson calling him Geri as he bellowed encouragement on Sunday.

    Hughes did that in a previous game too!

    When is he due his next good game? It is v liverpool this weekend or against palace? Can someone do the calculations please.

    No doubt Liverpool. Trent does like going walkabout thus leaving GD acres of space to mess up his final ball.

    He is better than and has far more skill than Barnes. Yet he manages to be far less effective.

    "Better than" in what sense, then?

    Ability. An on form Deulofeu is great but I genuinely can't remember his last good game for us.

    Looked like he did his knee ligaments. Obviously purely speculation and I’m not a medical professional, but I don’t think a knee is supposed to point in the direction his did.

    Surely out for the rest of this season, possibly the start of next? Might mean we have him in our squad for the first half of the Championship season if we’re looking for silver linings.

    Leg mashed. Now under the ‘care’ of our diligent medical pros.

    Goodnight sweet prince.

    We'll see him around Christmas time with our medical department. Such a shame, despite what some may think he's a fantastic player and staying up just got a lot harder without him.

    That quick..?

    In the past we've had 2 players with such injuries having to retire!

    Out for the season.

    Might be his last ever game for Watford.

    We can’t catch a break this season! One in one out..

    Been confirmed as an ACL, not yet sure how long he's out for, but it's almost certain he's out for the season as we all suspected. No idea what this means for his future at the club (could actually mean that we're more likely to keep him), but a lot of pages in our story before we worry about next season. At least we have Sarr back, and if Pereyra can play like he did last night, we still have a big chance

    Hope it’s a quick and good recovery for GD. Personally I think he’s worked really hard for the team and I love watching him play.

    Ruptured ACL is 6-9 months I think. He’ll do well to play for us again this calendar year.

    Especially with our dreadful medical team. Back start of 2021/2022 season I reckon.

    An expensive redundant salary to carry in the champ which may limit our spending elsewhere in addition to the lost income from the sale.

    I don't know so I'm just guessing, but I'd imagine big earners like Deulofeu will have relegation wage cuts in their contracts. If we go down Gerard might have to slum it on something like 40k a week, until he leaves in January that is!

    I suspect that our top notch signings wouldn't sign for a minnow like us if there was such a clause. I expect Mariappa has such a clause ....

    I'm just guessing but surely football clubs have insurance for this sort of thing?
