Pretty spot on Spanish, Burns & Broadhead rested. Will be interesting to see how Tuanzebe plays. Tough game, come on you Blues.
Responded well to going a goal down. Watford pressing us a fair bit and getting plenty of space down their left hand side. Pretty even game so far, entertaining first half.
What a win! Really professional performance. Top of the league. What a team. What a season we’re having so far.
High intensity game, with 3 scrappy goals. But a great performance between 2 good sides. Poor mistake from Hladky but considering how much we pass it around at the back I think that's the first time we've conceded a goal from losing the ball at the back. He also didn't let it affect him. I thought the Watford press was also very good, I think them and West Brom will make the final playoff places. Morsy didn't have a bad game but until we went ahead he wasnt as dominant as he normally was as Watford man marked him until that point. Luongo took up the reigns but once we went ahead they stopped man marking Morsy and he started dominating. Our biggest weakness this season was on show again especially in the first half, so much coming down our right hand side. I thought Clarke came on and did better second half but it wasn't until Burns came on we stopped attacks coming down that side. That seemed to give Watford license to attack down our left not helped by a bit of a powder puff performance by Broadhead. I thought Harness was great out of possession showed some nice touches but still sometimes gives the ball away too easily. I wondered why Hutchinson started ahead of Burns but Lewis was happy showing him on the outside and he was causing problems coming in and it worked pretty well. Hurst was superb, still things he can work on but it is noticeable when he goes off. Ladapo just isn't the same type of player and we lose quite a bit when Hurst isn't on the pitch. I thought in the 5/10 minutes before we scored Watford had the edge and I thought their press was going to catch us out at some point didn't see it happening the other way round as it did. But from then on we looked fairly comfortable and played the game out well. Top of the league and 10 points clear of 3rd after 21 games. I did half think we might have a decent season this year, never did I think this. In alot of other seasons Leeds would be top as well!! Absolute madness. Can anyone think of where we should put our next statue think we'll be needing to find space for one soon!!
Thought Ladapo has looked awful for a while now, he comes on and adds nothing!! Not much needed in January, I would say just another decent striker, let's see if we can pull off a similar, Marcus Stewart, type signing
