There were a number of players going beyond what I had considered the extent of their potential. TDB was so physically strong, he looked the part alongside the very capable players Kayembe and Sissoko. Pollock won everything - did his mother never teach him to share? Absolutely terrific and the quality of his deep crossing was a massive shock. Really good. Larouci and Baah were positively scary down the left. Larouci is a player. His stretching their defence, pulling them towards their goal and then putting in quality balls. I like the lad very much. Baah was aggressive and had good touch, a nightmare for opposition full-backs. Andrews looked to have added quality to his pace. It was a very positive day.
First time I have seen Larouci and I think the scouting system has really done well to find and sign him.
He was mustard. Did his defensive duties, but dominated the wing. Ran at people, which is what Georgi does, and that's a nightmare for defenders. I was highly impressed. Baah also, aggressive, plays forward. Wonderful, ofh.
I think that there are still plenty of us fans who remember the GT days when we had players who were instructed to run at the opposition defence. Today we could see something not dissimilar to the way we played then, although it has been adapted to suit the modern game. It was the style alongside the results that made it a golden era.
3 games, 3 wins 15 goals and only 2 conceded are we actually watching Watford or Man City???????? A complete team performance today Giorgi is our so far outstanding player, Lacrouci could challenge him for that status the way he is progressing, Stoke were only competing without threatening in the first half, second half only one team in it Early days but if we can come up with a goalscoring number nine only one outcome this season, so so different from the previous two years Asprilla to star in this team only if we revert to a back four, otherwise a luxury we might regret in games like todays, Pedro, Dennis or Sarr in this team? not a chance 100% wrong attitude, we must be sure that if we recruit to strengthen this team they have to be even better than the current players at the moment Have the Pozzo got it right for the first time since 2018/2019? think so/hope so only time will tell but happiest I have been for a long time
Oooops 11 goals not 15 but still the same results 95 out of every100 goals are usually down to an error or a piece of luck and we are owed about 4 years of good luck
Not only were we happy to see the role that Yasser Larouci can play for us, he also seems to be enjoying life at the club. www.watfordfc.com/news/2024/august/18/larouci-we-stuck-to-the-plan/
Just watched the EFL highlights on ITV. We seem to have a new striker and midfielder. Guy summarising called Kayembe a foward and Andrews a midfielder!
Yes, why expect them to know anything about Watford? I thought Andrews did a decent job in the role he was given.
