Manchester City 3-1 Watford FC - 02/01/2018

Head says City 12-0 Watflops
Heart says plucky 5-0 defeat. Either way we're going to get shafted

 

As little as possible.
But I used to live in Manchester and they certainly do talk funny up there.

 

Which tactical innovation will Silva pull out of the hat to throw City off their stride? Will it be as good as Quique's much loved 4-6-0 formation? Or will he name two keepers on the bench like Mazzarri? I can't wait!

 

Head says a very large total versus nil.
Heart says a merely largish total (and one for Gray).
Spleen says 1 - 1
My fibula is saying something, but I don't understand it - it may be speaking mancunian.
My left shoulder disagrees with my right shoulder.
And even if my coccyx is mumbling quietly I wouldn't get too close to it if I were you.

 

Is that where we get beaten somewhere between 4 and 6 to nil?

 

Well I know it's a long shot but I've put a tenner on us to win at 19/1

 

I hope that kicks us off to a good year of 2018

 

Hmm, anyone remember this and similar doom-mongering pre-match?

Having spent over 75 quid on this trip (thank fcuk I didn't include accommodation) and with no chance of getting a refund on anything I'm sorely tempted to cut my losses and just enjoy the two days I've taken off work in the warmth and comfort of home, but in football you just never know. Should I brave the trip and regret the time and money I've wasted, or risk regretting it even more should I stay at home and we pull off the impossible?

 

Why does it only go up to 8?

 

No, it's 46-0.

 

I have it on good authority from a source inside the club that Arsenal had no cojones that night. Unfortunately City do have Stones back so cant see us scoring more than 4

 

Silva is prob injured for this too .

Would be disappointed with anything less than 3 points for this one .

 

Does that mean someone else will do the HT team talk? If so, we have a chance.

 

Woy showed how it can be done, but Silva will be too arrogant and pig headed to learn from this.

 

Fill your fantasy team with City players ASAP is my advice.

 

It's got Watford win written all over it peps already got his excuses 1 0 Gray 91min

 

Silver will stomp all over my shadenfraude with a masterminded 2-0 win. Capoue and Gray with the goals. Watson bossing the midfield.

The happy clappers will be out in force with I told you sos. Hb1 will post about referees.

 

Shame Deeney is still banned. He would be well up for this one.

 

Sounds feasible. Players and manager involved in much self congratulatory back slapping and team selfies before 4 later goals in injury time leave us with a 4-1 defeat.

 

This current version of Watford couldn't beat City if they gave themselves an extra day bank holiday and the Etihad was empty

Gray would still miss an open goal, Holebas would still get himself sent off, Pereyra would still hobble off injured, and Gomes would still let in 2 in ET

 

i can see City being 3 or 4 up by the end of the warm up

if we get 2 shots on target, i think we can claim a moral victory

It's going to be painful

 

Even Lawro has predicted 4-0 to City. I think the biggest defeat I’ve seen him predict before is 3-0. This time I actually agree with him.

 

Yes I think you've hit on something here!
Play Neville in the Chalobah role and Silva's watch up front as a target man/timepiece.

 

1-0 to Watford. Gray with a stunning individual goal similar to Barnes vs Brazil. In years to come the amount of fans who claimed to be there will be around 100k instead of the 400 who actually went.

 

Hold your horses everyone, I have a reason to be positive! As the transfer window is now open, I believe that we can add Brice Dja Djedje to the matchday squad. They're not going to know what hit them!

 

We should be beating the likes of these etc.

 

Looking at recent games both Watford and Citeh it would be a success to still be in the game at half time. Our dodgy defence can normally concentrate for 70 mins and with a few Gomes saves and maybe a lucky goal I would hope for a 1-1 at half time. Hopefully there will be a strong snow fall second half and the three kings of the Orient (not Leyton) sprinkling good luck and some dodgy refereeing decisions going our way for a change and we get an unexpected win. I have seen us beat Man City 2 or 3 times in my time and I think if God does exist though I don´t believe it he owes us some cheer after recent games.

 

I recon we will win 2-1. Just got a feeling it is not going to be as bad as most expect.

 

I think the score will be:

For **** sake what are we doing , I can’t believe I’m a watford fan, how did we get 3 sent off within the first half and now Rich is injured as well ,******* referees the first, sixth and seventh goals where def offside, Silva out

 

I salute you and your optimism

 

I'll call for the men in white coats to pick you up.

 

We competed against Chelsea, Arsenal, manu, pool and Spurs.

Our lads aeem to up their game for the big boys.

Call it complacency vs lower league/bottom 3 candidates but they seem to step it up for the bigger teams.

I'm going for a Watford win. I'm putting cold hard cash on it.
