    We play a fascinating 2-2 encounter having thrown away a lead, before Charlton storm the pitch and score three goals.

    Bit inefficient needing 2 separate headers for the two goals ?? Why wouldn't he double up ?

    I think he does it that way to show that he can, Its that easy to him that he can do it anyway. I think he believes himself to be some sort of entertainer.

    You can't blame them really for keeping him wrapped in cotton wool. That one single player is worth more money than most entire football clubs. They should be honest & just admit it though.

    Our pre season games have mainly been low scoring with few decent chances. But I think we will struggle to keep Liverpool at bay with their attacking players and style. On the flip side if they are on top will allow us to hit them on the break with our newly paid for pace. I'm thinking this could be an exciting game, still not hopeful so I might go 2-3 now.

    Have to agree completely with Clive.
    They aren't a top 6 team. It's not the 80s with Ian Rush and Justin Groberlar, I can't name more than 3 of their squad nowadays.

    We should be beating the likes of these for our European place

    Coutinho has handed in a transfer request haha. Brilliant timing for us. That will disrupt the dressing room and Liverpool fans.

    I cannot see anything but a Liverpool win. I worry for Watford and have predicted them to get relegated - and nothing has changed after the Andre Gray signing.

    I fear there may not be space for Troy Deeney at Watford after that signing and that's a huge worry because he's by far their best player.

    Liverpool have been impressive in pre-season, beating Bayern Munich 3-0, and I expect them to inflict the same score on the Hornets.

    PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 (10/1 with Sky Bet)

    I actually think we're going to win. Klopp is overrated, Liverpool are overrated, Coutinho, Sturridge and Lallana out.

    I change my prediction. 2-1 to us. Pereyra and Gray.

    Think it's a good time to play them, heart says a draw but head says a narrow defeat. Our defence is still the same as it was and so whilst we have pace up front they'll continue with hoofball

    Funny how touchy Liverpool can be one it's one of their players being publicly pursued by a bigger club.:)

    Yeah, I never really forgave them for ripping us off over Barnes. It wasn't as though they were giving him a shot at the big time - a blind man could have seen he was a footballing diamond - especially after he got England back into that world cup game v the Argies almost single handed.

    We were still a small club then, with modest facilities. They didn't need to rip us off by giving us a miserable pittance for him. What was it? £900,000? I bet it was going to be a million and they bargained that last £100k down. Cheap, shoddy, skin-a-ha'penny bunch they are, them. They could have give us £5 million for him and give us a chance to get some people in to replace him. Maybe do the Vic up a bit. At £5 million, it would still have been an absolute steal of course, but £900k was just taking the pish. And then they say they don't like the rest of the country saying they thieve stuff.

    And you remember that 1970 quarter final, where we put them out of the cup? One of their supporters broke a Watford supporter's jaw in the high street after the match. Unprovoked as well, they said in the Evening Echo.

    By the power of Endean, I hope we stuff this miserable lot tomorrow.

    Lest we forget. Note the 'graphic photo' promised on the programme cover was never actually inside. A huge let down. It was just a load of stuff about football. 1970's version of clickbait.

    Liverpool are the new Newcastle. Great history and fantastic supporters, but sadly, they haven't invested wisely enough for me and I think the way they've become a feeder club for Barcelona, whilst filling their squad with mid table misfits from Southampton shows that the glory days aren't returning to Liverpool any time soon.

    I think they'll have too much about them to be relegated, but it will be a tough season for the Liver Boys.

    I feel bad for Their fans, who, in the absence of any other form of life, are very committed to their Red heroes.

    I'm a Watford fan first and foremost so I'll enjoy us pasting them tomorrow, but I'll feel sad for the slum dwelling away followers as they glumly board their special busses (they won't even be proper coaches, bless 'em) back to their dystopian hellhole with all hope drummed out of them. I'd expect us to exceed the 3-0 thumping of 2 seasons gone, so I'll go for 5-0. Holebas hattrick, Hughes free kick and an own goal, deflected in from a Mariappa header.

    I hope we see a glimpse of the new boys, but I expect we will have to be patient as I presume Silva will keep them under wraps and give a run out to some of the fringe players.

    Will it be too much for the 1881 to sing the start of the Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballe song to help Phillippe om his way and cheer him up-surely that will be appreciated by Liverpool fans when one of their players needs to move onto a bigger club-just like Barnes did 30 years ago almost to the month

    I had this perfect dream
    This dream was me and you
    I want all the world to see
    A miracle sensation
    My guide and inspiration
    Now my dream is slowly coming true
    The wind is a gentle breeze
    The bells are ringing out
    They're calling us together
    Guiding us forever
    Wish my dream would never go away

    Barcelona

    or maybe just play this at half time

    I've got a good feeling about this one as I'm at a wedding, last year I was at a wedding when we came back from behind to beat West Ham, and the year before it was on my brothers wedding day we firstly beat Brighton, and then later on by virtue of the other results we clinched promotion. You heard it here first.

    Reckon we will try to hold tight, maybe nick a goal at a set piece and then bring on pace on the hour mark as they commit men forward.
