Mole_Toonfan Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Very surprised is overly negative though. It's a game we should be looking to win. Not really, they are better than us as the season as shown. We should be looking to win any game we play but of all the teams outside the top 6 they are probably the most impressive.

TRon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Very surprised is overly negative though. It's a game we should be looking to win. It's not that, I just think Watford are a very good team and certainly better than Burnley and Bournemouth. They are decent, but I just think Rafa is the sort of manager who probably knows how to exploit a team that throws players forward. Obviously it could go either way, but there's a decent chance of three points I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 His obsession with Joselu is beginning to be an issue, him and Diame is similar to starting with 9 men, thyme literally offer nothing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Really think we might pay for not starting Merino. Should have started today and rested him next game when Hayden returns imo. That said, watch Diame score a screamer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Manquillo, Diame and Joselu - these positions need upgrading in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that, I just think Watford are a very good team and certainly better than Burnley and Bournemouth. Watford are not better than burnley. They may have more attacking flair and are easier on the eye but they are not a better overall team than Burnley. No chance, look at the defensive records.

TRon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Diame starting. I can see at least one goal being conceded due to someone ball watching. Probably him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Really liked how we played against Manu in the first 35 minutes or so. High pressing and moving the ball around at pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hope Diame gets a dead leg and can’t continue in minute 1 and Merino comes in. Kind of feel bad for saying that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Really not fond of that lineup given the other options we have on the bench but have complete faith Rafa knows what he’s doing. I’m hoping Murphy or Joselu has a stormer today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Diame starting. I can see at least one goal being conceded due to someone ball watching. Probably him. Or a terrible lazy attempt at a pass. This was my first thought too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Would be elated with a Murphy goal today. Especially at St James', would do wonders in settling him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Glad Murphy starts, we really need his confidence up and causing teams bother because there's a lot of talent there. He just needs to settle in, get his rhythm and make it tough for Atsu to get back in. A goal would do wonders I'm no fan of Diame but at least Merino is back to replace him when he gets knackered (in 35 minutes) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Happy we've stuck with 4-4-2 and I'm sure Merino will play a part. Given he's only just back from injury it was fairly obvious he needs time to get back up to speed. Think we'll be fine. 2-1 win, both forwards to score.

All you have to do is check the stats, form and table. Watford look better on the eye, Burnley are a better team. 9 conceded to Watfords 21. No brainer.
