[PL] Watford (A): Build Up

[frank the tank]

it should be a good game alright. I think we are due to hand out another hammering.....

All i want this weekend is a 5 or 6 goal spanking of Watford and maybe a yellow for Vardy as well against Everton so that he is suspended for our home match v Leicester!!!

After a week of Jurgie bear training I'm expecting a big performance here.

I think this week will do us a lot of good, isn't there a full week between games again after this one?

Yep, should be good, finally a bit of time for him to get some ideas across before it goes crazy again. Watford and Leicester are going to get ****ted!

The way both play football (i.e. non-bus parking) they are surely due a hammering. And Jurgen's football is the one thing both attacking teams have not come across yet.

Klopps handling of Mignolet is first class but the difference is that he's new to the club so its a fresh start for everyone, but it's clear to all of those that have watched him for 4 seasons that he's not good enough.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if new keeper in Jan was on the cards anyway but Klopp is just trying to get the best out of Mignolet in the meantime.

Sorry if it sounds harsh but we'll never be solid with Mignolet in goal

[BobTheCharmer]

Sakho on the bench I reckon. I'd like to see us recall Illori, I don't see any value in him being outside the squad when they're fighting (or should that be accepting) relegation.

Recall Illori? Really? To help do the dishes?

He's halfway through his third season with us.

Good pedantry, I'll raise you a: "but he never said 4 seasons with us".

[DKdan]

---------Mignolet---------------
Clyne - Skrtel - Kolo - Moreno
------Hendo-------Can---------
------------Coutinho------------
Firmino----------------Lallana--
------------Benteke-------------

If Benteke isn't arsed, Origi after 45 minutes. Ibe for Firmino if he isn't arsed either.
Lucas for Hendo when we lead 0-3 and just need the time to pass.

Easy this management thingy.

[Lecter]

He's halfway through his third season with us.

Feels like its been a lot longer than that

[DannyMan2006]

Our best performances have been with Firmino as a false 9. I'd like to see that tbh. If not, him behind Origi so he has a moving target to find. Bring big Chris off the bench if we can't find the net.

[danperkins]

-----------Keeper
Clyne-Skittles-Sakho-Moreno
----Hendo--Lucas--Can
-----Coutinho-Firmino
-----------Derek

Throw on Ibe, Lallana and Benteke if needed.

Hopefully Henderson can start two games back to back with the week off, Milner wouldn't be so good at all.

Nice progressive side that

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Like most, I think Benteke and Milner should be benched for this one.

Benteke will be a great option from the bench, he simply isn't doing it from the off and more than anything he actually hinders our attacking play.

Milner, nah he's just not up to it. I can see a place for him in big games, definitely a good squad player but he's just pretty normal.

Or Sturridge + Origi.

Common factor - a mobile pivot to the attack. We've played Benteke though against all of the weaker sides and I expect him to play against Watford too.

I think Benteke would've started against City & Chelsea had he been fully fit. Tbh, I don't mind Benteke, but we've got to start using him better. A goal every two games for Villa shows his worth.
