Arriba Los Zorros Posted 16 January 2018 Share Posted 16 January 2018 Jury still out on Puel in home games for me, we can lack a cutting edge. Feel more comfortable when we play away currently. Would like to see him dispel doubts with a commanding performance and resounding win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 16 January 2018 Share Posted 16 January 2018 Need to play with the same intensity as we did at Chelsea. A win here could take us to 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 16 January 2018 Share Posted 16 January 2018 A big big game in our season, for many reasons. Full strength (barring injuries etc), it kinda should pick itself.

Foxxed Posted 16 January 2018 Share Posted 16 January 2018 If they're going to sit back and counter this may be tricky. I wonder if Slim and Ian would be useful against these. Silva's first premier league start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucey Posted 16 January 2018 Share Posted 16 January 2018 we've still been a bit dodgy against mid table teams under Puel so far, seem to play better against top 6 and rock bottom teams. hope that changes here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridFox Posted 17 January 2018 Share Posted 17 January 2018 Could be a watershed moment in our season if we dispatch Watford on Saturday. It's been our achilles heel dropping points to a lesser side on the back of an impressive result against one of the big guns. Points against Chelsea, United etc are a bonus, not a substitute. This is our bread and butter game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what Puel would like us to be ultimately I think, based on last night's second half sub of Slim for Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We let in on average 2 goals a game so really there should be no excuse as the home team for you not to win... Although you are in form and we do seem to perform better against such sides!

Clever Fox Posted 17 January 2018 Share Posted 17 January 2018 Watford are an awkward Team to play against. Their Big and like to play with a high Tempo. I think our best chance is to get a grip on the Ball and keep them chasing us for the first 30 minutes. Then heads will start to drop and we can control the rest of the game. Silva may not play a full game due to him getting up to speed, But he could be important in keep possession and getting control early in the game with Iborra, Wilf and Mahrez. I think the opportunity to go 7th will inspire the team to give it a real go. Fancy a Win, but we need to watch Deeney second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMike Posted 17 January 2018 Author Share Posted 17 January 2018 Like to see Silva play. He appears to be a class act. There again, so does Iborra. On the other hand - neither played at Chelsea and we dominated. What do others reckon? Different to the start of the season when midfield was everyone's concern!

Watford looked like a real handful early season. Do you think your drop in form is due to the Everton/Silva saga?

StriderHiryu Posted 18 January 2018 Share Posted 18 January 2018 Think this is a fair assessment of the challenge tomorrow. In our previous game against them I felt we had them beat but then just gave it away with sloppy mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think on paper that team is what Puel is working towards? I'd like to see us try it but we'll see. Harsh on Okazaki though who is such a legend.
