Match Day Thread Watford v Leicester City

Have to agree with you Bloother, you'll need to be at the top of your game to get anything today.

I'm in the awkward position of wanting you both to win today!

 

They just go out and do what they have to do .Like most pros

 

Agreed, but the prize is getting closer and strange things happen. Well I hope so!

 

Isn't there a bit of you that secretly wants us to win the league? ...

I'd take a draw, think it will be an extremely open game, please attack us, we don't want to play teams that park the bus

 

COYH from Innsbruck Airport. I hope my remote setting of sky has worked and there is enough space on the sky box!

 

Of course - and probably not that secret. But we still need the points plus a win would send us into next week's quarter final with huge confidence.

LCFC starting XI vs Watford: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs, Mahrez, Kanté, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy

 

Britos injured in the warm up.

Not a great omen.

 

Ake goes into the centre and Holebas comes in on the left.

 

NBC have David Pleat as a co-commentator.

He's talking nonsense and it's about time he retired.

 

HALF TIME: Watford 0-0 Leicester

Decent game. Ake doing ok.

That is what failure to retain possession and sitting back off their forwards gets you.

I can't see us scoring until Easter so game effectively over.

 

Abdi on for Suarez.

 

Positives from today......

 

Another defeat, another game where we just don't have enough quality to get back in the game. Watford have the poorest goals for total in top four divisions of English football in 2016. Lucky for us season does not start in January. Championship performance for second Saturday running. Feared the worst when we lost Britos but even though Prodl was shaky at times & Ake was sound its clear Cathcart & Britos are top two central defenders. Struggling to think of any positive from todays game. Season is in danger of ending in a whimper.

 

Watson's delivery was pathetic today.

Holabas had s fair first half but a poor second one.

Nyom seems to fear getting into the tackle.

Against Man Utd we at least created chances. There was none of that today. Even if we had of done I doubt our currently totally ineffective attack would have done anything with them.

I am thankful for our pre-Christmas form. Without it we would be right in the mire.

I don't think relegation is an issue. But make no mistake - we are in freefall.
