Boufal hasn't been away has he? Probably increases the case for him to play. Redmond and Ward-Prowse are my undisputed other choices in the 3.
Quite right, he got dropped by Morocco for this weeks fixtures. At least Romeu has a lot more friends than usual during this break
Forster Cedric Hoedt Stephens Bertrand Romeu Lemina JWP Boufal Tadic/Redmond (both will be ineffective!) Gabbiadini McCarthy, Yoshida, McQueen, Davis, Tadic/Redmond, Long, Austin VVD to be in the half time relay ...
I can envisage VVD being integrated into the match day squad at an away game, before a home match. Fewer fans to vent their disappointment at his behaviour, and, should he play, and play well, it will be easier for him when he runs out at SMS, as he will have shown he is prepared to knuckle down and play for the team.

You're looking a couple of players light in midfield Forster Cedric Hoedt Yoshi Bertrand Lemina Romeu Prowse Redmond Tadic Gabbi
Maybe good to see if we can play without Davo as we do have 2 proper DMs now We need to test Tadic's readings on the premadonnometer are within normal limits before we start him The Talent will need to work hard here because Watford certainly will

top match thread this. I like the photos too. Watford look pretty good to me at present so this is going to be a tough tough game to win. Be great if we can edge it as 8 points from 4 games is a good start to the season
Having seen some of the teams, I don't know whether it's intentional or not but most people seem to have the left footed Hoedt playing RCB. Surely it would be best if he played next to Bertrand on the left hand side!

Presumably..... as Mauricio didn't want him included in first team training if he was unable to play.
