Where: Emirates Stadium When: Saturday, Sept 29th, 10:00am EST TV: NBC gold again We are halfway through project24 and while we have looked vulnerable, it’s hard to be critical of 6 straight wins in all competitions. I expect nothing less from this one. I’m sure Watford will have their chances, so let’s hope fat Deeney and co leave their shooting boots at home. A win would see us jump to 5th and if spuds drop points—4th. So the lads have something specific to play for in this one. I haven’t seen any injury news so I’m going to expect the same lineup as Everton with the possible exception of miki coming in. I really think he or iwobi is needed in the front line, but as long as we are taking max points I can understand why he doesn’t want to tinker.
We should win this, they play a box 442 so I can see us dominating possession and winning the ball back from their stopper cms
@crazy150 you are on the ball man! (with your match thread starting duties) I'm sad to say that I have to miss this one live, due to family commitments. But I'm wondering about Troy Deeney and cajones, especially with the recent interview references to the same, by Laca & Lampard. I heard he broke a bone in his foot last weekend and is taking injections so that he can play. I hope Sokratis or Lichsteiner are in the game so that they can test his foot out a little bit, to see how much pain he's really in. Seriously, I'm more nervous for this one than any of the other Project 24 matches. Watford have been a really good, well-coached team lately, even with their slight stumble last time out at Fulham.
Since we are playing the Hornets, I have but to contribute a can of RAID to do a number on Watford, COYF'n'G!!! BTW I will have to skip this match because of goddamn NBC as they decided to relegate us to Gold this week. Such bullshit!!!
Wait! I just realized that we can easily go from killing bees on Weds to smothering hornets Saturday.
That's a better game than ArsenalvWatford? Also - good thing they're putting Citeh-BHA on NBCSN . . . that'll be a super fun, competitive match for everyone.
Ya, I think that they are trying to get our gold matches in now bc of Europa league we will be playing on sundays a lot and those games more likely to be on nbcsn.
Maybe it's just me, but I respect and appreciate that Laca didn't celebrate the OG as if he'd scored it himself, but went over right away to celebrate with Iwobi for the cross that led to it. Wish more players had the same integrity in the game. (ie. Harry Kane)
Far from a great performance but new life at end of match... Iwobi another shining cameo. Leno made some good saves... 5 wins in a row
Iwobi Season Gonna start his ascendancy to stardom. So many yer daars are gonna be mad that they rooting for him. Saying that we looked awful again and this Auba on the left thing must die.
