It's not unreasonable, Watford are very good. Rafa needs to stop them in their tracks.
Merino must start. I think Gayle/Joselu will take confidence from Old Trafford.
I think a draw wouldn't be the worst thing, just to stop the current slide.
Alot rests on Merino and Lascelles being available. I'd have Dummett straight back in too.
I'm, not so secretly, hoping for a Robinho type buy in January, where PCP essentially put a down payment on the club before the things are rubber stamped.
At the start of the season, Clarke and Lejeune would have been my first choice pair, so I'm not overly concerned.
Our problems are at the other end of the pitch.
An announcement within the next 10 days would fit in with the, probable bollocks, I was told about early in the week, where someone said they were just waiting to confirm it In the next couple of weeks. Just saying like.
