Or that he played a B Team before a cup Semi-Final but lost that game so has subsequently rolled the first team out? I doubt City want to send us down over Bournemouth, especially given how we are 6 easy points and about +10 goals a season to them.
I haven't gone back through all the posts on this thread, so please forgive me if it has already been mentioned, but I see the match is being shown on Pick. Free to view.
Appalling set up. Go 3-5-2. 4-5-1. Stuff up the midfield with wingbacks and three midfields with Welbeck & Sarr playing up top or Welbeck alone. 4-2-3-1. Idiocy. Congest the midfield and hit on the counter. Did our twit coaches or more like fatty bumpkin not watch Southampton and Arsenal play that way ? Pray for a red card for them. Pray the idiots do not concede early. Work bloody hard. Show some fecking bottle and courage.
He played a weaker team against arsenal in the FA Cup semi final at the weekend! It’s a joke! This is their strongest 11 possible. In a meaningless Prem game. Go on their forum, they are saying this should have been the team on the weekend against arsenal. Not a coincidence at all.
Bit surprised there are people who still believe he was sacked for purely footballing reasons really.
No, no, Pep is part of some global Premier League/FA/FIFA conspiracy to get Watford relegated. Even though he had probably never even heard of Watford before he moved to England he HATES us. That's the official Watford fan narrative.
I'll watch until the first goal goes in before switching over. Should be able to watch the end of the opening credits of the 6 o'clock news.
Any chance they will line up like this? ************Foster *****Mapps Dawso Kabbs Kiko**Clevs**Doucoure**Hughes ***********Pereyra********** ******Sarr***Troyston Cojones
Ridiculously strong line up for man city ..... why when they should be on the beach 6 nil my forecast
We're playing City without a recognised defensive midfielder (and with only 4 of our purely revolting defensive players on the pitch). Even now, amidst all this, the arrogance from up high is still remarkable. Where does it come from?!
Perhaps we might choose to put in a competent performance today and keep it respectable. Other crap teams can so it is possible. But we probably won't.
All Mullins has done is that he don't feel the players can sit back and keep them out so he's chucked out Masina for his nightmare last time out, and put in Pereyra for Welbeck who may either have a knock or being saved for Arsenal. Simples.
West ham leisurely walked around cleverly like he wasn't there last game. So naturally he's kept his place. I cant wait to see Pereya do the bare minimum required either tonight
We beat Liverpool’s strongest eleven this season. We didn’t need ‘favours’ from Klopp that night. Ditto Man Utd. And Wolves. Welbeck is probably still having his game time managed, with so many matches in such a short space of time. Tonight’s starting back four didn’t concede together in 45 mins last Friday. I’m hoping for more effective and better uses of the subs tonight. By 10pm we could still be 3 points clear, going into the final match. I’d take that.
Keep changing my mind if I want to watch this or not . Might go out for a walk for the first 20 mins and see how many we’ve conceded after that
