Match Day Thread Watford v Tottenham

On BT sport they gave MOM to Sarr?

 

Damm Burnley gone from 1 down to 2-1 up and Leicester missed penalty m.

 

Yes but who would you sooner win that game Dyche or Brenda

 

What a dilemma, on one hand the coach that stuck with us and made a silk purse out of a sow's ear and the coach that at more than one club has shown no integrity and on the other hand a coach who nowadays preaches anti-football and a modern coach who improves players and is an innovating coach. Too hard to choose between the two these days for me.

 

Our targets to put below us are West Ham, Brighton and Newcastle, once achieved the next are Arsenal

 

If Brenda keeps improving Leicester like he has recently they could be one to chase

 

Watford looked the equals of Tottenham during this largely drab draw. Their midfield three outfought their opponents but they had more to their game than just strength. Most intriguing of the trio was Nathaniel Chalobah. The 25‑year‑old’s fitness history is chequered but even when fit he has struggled to play under some of Watford’s frequently changing managers. Nigel Pearson trusts him, however. “He’s been fabulous again,” he said. “He’s a gifted player but he’s had to find a way of regaining his form. It’s been a difficult year or so for him [but] he’s the type of player that is very important for us.” From the base of Watford’s midfield Chalobah was effective in breaking up Spurs’ attacks but his distribution high up the field was also crucial. He has a broad range of attributes for an English defensive midfielder and another manager who trusts him is Gareth Southgate.

 

If not a 0-0 thriller, I thought this was an absorbing contest with more menace and tension than all out action.
