Big Game. We beat that 2-1 earlier in the season. Team selection dubious. That static midfield Arrizabalaga 28Azpilicueta 27Christensen 30David Luiz 3Alonso 7Kanté 5Jorginho 17Kovacic 11Pedro 9Higuaín 10E Hazard Alonso, Kovacic, Pedro --- wouldn't be in my team.
We are on the back foot. Great save from Kepa. Kante going off with a tweaked hamstring. RLC coming on - probably gives the team a better option. Kante out for the season.
they’re going for the juggular, having carved out several decent chances with extreme ease. not a promising start
Watford edging this game. Watford pressing high and causing our defenders some problems. Second half here we come.
we seem to enter these games without anything resembling a game plan. hazard continually gets the ball in poor areas where he’s facing 2-3 defenders. higuain doesnt get service either in the form of good crosses or play thru the middle. watford cuts thru us with some ease. hoping for some better energy in this second half
Watford play the high press: continue to try to work the ball out of the back. Dangerous aerial threat in Deeney: zonal marking. I know sarri has his defenders in here but a manager HAS to adapt to what's in front of him and sarri never does. He switches personnel when he has to but the premier league is miles above his level. Hazard hides so many cracks. PS I'm guessing I wasn't the only one who hoped it was jorginho with the knock rather than kante
well that changed real ********ing quick lol! RLC has turned into one of my favorites. lets not ******** this lead up now please
Well, his ball preceeded both headers, not getting that quality from anywhere else unfortunately. Hopefully we press for many goals. Could mean a draw next week would be enough if we push on today.
Sarri would go a long way to building some modicum of goodwill by putting Cahill on for one last appearance at the Bridge. Petty not to.
