    He dropped Looser which enabled Watford to make the comeback after they had recovered from the initial shock

    Asprilla's goal looked even better on the highlights

    Yes he was very composed when given the opportunity.

    Watford use a 2 step system at corners. All the main defenders (CH etc) mark space. The rest pick up specific players (planned beforehand who is on who), regardless of size. The plan is for them to stay with them and block their runs allowing the defenders marking space clear to concentrate on getting the ball away. In theory anyway!

    In practice, it appears to be that step 1 is lose your man, while step 2 is let him score.

    And when it's us taking the corner, we render the use of any such system by the opposition pointless simply by failing to get the ball past the first defender...

    I'm in a negative mood this morning - brought on by below zero temperatures and a broken boiler.
