Good formation but naff lineup. Hughes must be psychological as well. He definitely wants to play but maybe wants to see Ivic eff it up for 75mins first. Two shots on target would be great.
Slightly worried this is the game where Perica proves himself to be even worse than our other options upfront. I want him to be good and he did score a decent goal, just have a sneaking suspicion he's absolute pony. Still, Success on the way back!
Looks like 442 so might be more positive? Foster Ngakia Kabaselle Ekong Kiko Sarr Chalobah Cleverly Sema Perica Deeney Subs: Bachmann Hughes Quina Pedro Wilmot Garner Navarro Phillips No Capoue, not even on bench?
4-4-2 with Perica starting are positives in my mind from Ivic. Annoying to see Troy still continue, but hopefully Perica outshines him and demonstrates that he should be first choice. Hughes on the bench still is the strangest thing. Is he really still not fit to start?!
It's the irrepressible force that drags down every Watford coach. No matter what corner of the world we've plucked them from or which playing style they previously favoured, sooner or later they all end up playing long ball to Deeney and trying to get people close to him to feed off the scraps.
Ffs. It turns out that Fatty Giraldi's tactics were the only thing keeping us from hitting free fall.
Yes, it is certainly not a good sign at all that Capoue is still nowhere to be seen after the end of the quarantine period.
Seems like pundit or agent are popular options for the ex-Pros these days. It used to be Pub Landlord. Emlyn Hughes turned into a whale while running his boozer.
Hang on though... Okish first half but now one of the worst teams in the division decides to make a game of it after half time and we've gone back into our shells again... Passing around the back, giving the ball away, and no midfielders looking to receive the ball. We really don't like the idea of the oppo upping the pace, really unsettles us (every game)....
What a poor 2nd half!! We really do lack quality / urgency. Question is , is it the tactics? Or is simply the players we have are not actually that good??!!
