Well they seem against that Vítor Pereira that's been linked. No idea who they could go for. Don't think Lampard would work and unsure if Rooney would leave Derby yet either.

I used it on a few different forums and whatnot before it was in common use and then I presume it got picked up. To be honest though, it's not even a particularly accurate metaphor. @ManDoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMLeazesender Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I can see I stand alone on this but I still think its to our advantage. I can't see the players lifting their game for someone who they know is not going to be there long term and the same applies to the fans, they must be sick of it.

The Prophet Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hodgson will surely have them playing like Brazil circa 1970. Worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the fans seem against the idea, should've said. Dunno who their fans will accept. Given the board went for a manager who the fans didn't want in the summer and it's been as disastrous as it has been, I'm unsure what they'll do. If they weren't in so much trouble I'd have seen them giving it to Ferguson to the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Cheese Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hodgson was booted by Watford's owners at Udinese 20 years ago On Saturday a report in the Daily Mail quoted Hodgson as saying: "Udinese is an extremely strange club - Inter by comparison was a cakewalk." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2001/dec/10/europeanfootball.sport2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is chaos at Watford, worse at Everton. Norwich have some consistency but might not have enough quality, likewise Burnley. Like the latter two we might lack a bit of quality but our camp is absolutely united together, fans, ownership and staff all pushing in the right direction with positivity. Hopefully we pull away and before it goes down to the wire! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We re the only team on a positive ascendency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Woy would be a fantastic appointment for them. He knows how to organise a defence and is well suited to setting them up to play on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford should be extremely dangerous on the counter with the pace they have. Although, with that being said, if Claudio couldn’t get it out of them maybe Woy can’t either.

DMLeazesender Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm struggling to see why we would be bothered about Woy and I can't see why he is held in such high esteem. He is/was very average and his teams were very average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Claudio and Roy have a similar identity. He's certainly shown previously with Fulham and West Brom that he can turn things around midseason (granted that was 10 years ago). I also think that Watford squad definitely has some counter attacking quality just like his Palace side did. Where I question them is defensively. That Palace defence was a very domestic, known-quantity, type of group. Watford have defenders with PL experience, but they also have a group of players from abroad that they've clearly taken a punt on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
