Hughes and Zinckernagel benched is a strange one. Can’t get my head around Hughes’ continued absence at all.
What a coincidence that as soon as bachmann says he wants a run of games and foster is out with a finger injury, personally, I’m not complaining
Starting 11 looks good enough to win i would've thought. Go on the lads! Looking forward to Sky showing me lots of goal mouth action.
Zincnickel benched, Chalobah and Deeney start, Wilmot unfairly benched, Hungbo not even in the squad after a week of social media propaganda Classic lottery draw Watford team selection
Foster got a finger injury about 2 months ago so you are probably right. They feel Bachmann did well last week so they are giving him another run out.
So Deeney's knee injury healed pretty quickly. Mind you, he just stands around for 90mins anyway so no real difference.
Glad Gray and Foster are out. I suppose Deeney is contractually obliged to play, lest he go running to Gino. No Hughes and a midfield duo of Chalobah and Cleverley is a ******ous decision. Zinckernagel not playing is odd as well. And yeah, Hungbo not being there is strange. The clubs Twitter propaganda was implying he was our saviour or something. Not spending £10 to watch that.
I haven’t paid £10 yet this season. Certainly not going to start now. To be honest though, we do look a much better side with JP.
Swap out Deeney & Chalobah for Ighalo & Almen Abdi and we'd have no problem winning the league. I'm going for 0-0 or 1-0 to Huddersfield though
Someone on Twitter has made a point it’s hard to disagree with... Philip Zinckernagel, the 6th most creative player in the world, starts on the bench over a midfield who’s speciality is hoofball to Troy Deeney.
Well after many years supporting the 'Orns I think that is how most of view it tbh. I some ways I miss the old days 20 years back when we all turned up to most games in hope but not knowing how what the outcome would be on the day. Lately we watch in never ending hope but suspect we know the outcome especially away from home. Iviv going at least lifted the deep depression most of us were feeling...
BTW why are we going with five defenders on the bench.... Must be expecting another couple of hamstrings back there.....
Here is one from Twitter: "So he’s been with the team long enough to get ahead of sema and Sarr on a wing? Give Xisco a chance to work with the player who’s last season only finished in December" Maybe fair point but then don't hype him up to be the savior. Bit like Pedro last January.
Hughes has not played well in the few times he's featured recently. Deeney ahead of Zinckernagel is a joke though. JP ahead of Gray is one positive today at least. Also it's helpful that Femenia is back.
Which midfield would that be? He would not be one of the midfield two, he should be playing as the 10 instead of Deeney.
I can understand Pumpernickel being eased in gradually but I don't really understand how Hughes is going to become match fit without playing matches. Unless he's off of course.
Why? Sierralta has played better than him in the games they've featured together. I must admit T-E has looked a bit shaky though lately, but in theory he is the more senior defender ahead of Wilmot.
