Match Day Thread Watford v Tottenham

Watford v Tottenham

The new year brings new challenges and Watford sure have that in their first game of 2017. Facing 4th placed Tottenham is no easy task, especially with WM´s long injury list. Spurs, however, have Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen missing due to suspension.

The table will reach its half way point after this game with the January transfer window to open soon.

The 12th man has been called upon by the gaffer “Now we need the fans more than ever, especially to support the players who haven’t had as many minutes in the Premier League so far,” Mazzarri said.

Comments welcome.

Well no-one seems very confident at all so be typical of us to get something!

 

From Mazarri's press conference today, we really are shorthanded for this match.

Will be interesting to see the formation he goes for with the fit players left.

 

Due to the injuries to so many players, the headline reads:
"We need the fans more than ever" - Mazzarri

I don't know if my boots will still fit.

Thanks for the thread Mex.

 

My Dad played centre half for 20 years or so....at Sunday League level.

I'll ask him.

 

Good luck to the Golden Boys!

 

Think we are ok at the back thanks Mark

If we play 3 at the back then the only decision he would make was between Watson & Dacoure (?). If we play only 1 up top then he may play both.
Otherwise the team picks itself.
Unless he is playing games as he did last week with player availability....

 

Watson is on the unavailable list too apparently, so it won't be much of a decision.

 

¿What´s the deal with Watson?

Understandably he has a family issue, but this has gone on a while and we are crying out for him.

Hope the issue is sound like, but in times like these troops are hard to find.

 

I could manage a half.....

oh hang on make that a minute

 

Man flu has struck so we are giving our season tickets to our grandsons, they are very excited. Pity they are ardent Spurs supporters, hopefully they can keep quite when their team scores a number of times.

 

Yes - otherwise you will get into trouble sadly if they are caught out and the club investigate...

 

They managed to keep quiet last year. The club know that thousands of season tickets are passed on to friends or family on different occasions. I would think they would be mature about it.

 

Hope WM has everyone wrapped in cotton wool / bubble wrap until Sunday.

 

The bubble wrap might do Troy a bit of good weight-wise - he's lost a bit of pace & stamina since bulking up...

Looks more like an excerpt from Monty Python's Fish Slapping Dance...

 

Hopefully the view will be better on the day...

 

Oh dear - the Reading v Fulham match has just been abandoned because of fog - compare theirs to ours above...

 

Should be ok at just after midday though?

Or maybe I have forgotten the grimness of winter!
