Batman Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 going for a 2-1 win. Not out of expectation more in blind hope Stek Cedric Fonte Yoshida Targett Vic Rom Davis Mane Pelle Rodriguez Gazza, Martina, Caulker, JWP, Juanmi, Long, Tadic they will surely fancy their chances. Get at our defence and bingo. How we are in a position where Yoshida is starting every week is just plain bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 Need to decide what sort of team we are. If long ball, then might as well put Long up with Pelle and be open about it, Long can run the channels and Pelle act as the target. Yoshida LB and Martina RB, beef up the side physically and look to make it a scrap to frustrate the home fans. Caulker a threat from set pieces so he starts and JWP too, purely for his delivery. 0-1 Caulker 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 Good test and early marker - this time last season (before the mané/toby signings), we did a comprehensive job on wham that did much to dispel the doom and gloom of the previous game.

S-Clarke Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 Good test and early marker - this time last season (before the mané/toby signings), we did a comprehensive job on wham that did much to dispel the doom and gloom of the previous game. Yes, I was going to say the same. I remember at this stage last season we'd drawn 0-0 at home to Alan Irvines WBA. Pelle was getting jeered and ripped apart. The mood was a lot worse then than it is now. This will hopefully be a defining result to kick us on, we've not really got out of neutral this season. Watford were decent at Everton, but I still think they've changed too much. They signed Vydra this summer, and they're already now talking about loaning him out. It's not a way to run a club in my opinion, so we can capitalize on what will be a very unfamiliar team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donatello Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 4-3-3 for moi (I.e. JWP-Wanyama-Romeu). Need to regain our defensive stability, and playing without an AM will allow the midfield to better protect the full-backs, shifting across more easily (without pulling the entire midfield to one side of the field).

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 August, 2015 Share Posted 21 August, 2015 I wouldn't be happy with a draw. They're a newly promoted team FFS. A couple of poor performances doesn't make us a bad team, and I think we can win it. 0-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 21 August, 2015 Share Posted 21 August, 2015 Cedric for Yoshida, Yoshida for Caulker and Davis for JWP and that's the team. Bringing Davis back in to the advanced midfield role should give us the energy that we missed last night with JWP (who had a surprisingly good game defensively, winning several tackles and headers). It might be good to give Juanmi a start though, but that would be at the expense of JRod, think we need JRod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandy Golac Posted 21 August, 2015 Share Posted 21 August, 2015 I have a theory that Watford will not be that great at home this season. They lost 6 home games last season and only managed 0-0 against WBA last time. If we can frustrate them in the first 1/3 of the game ( a big IF with the Everton game in mind) we can definitely get something. I fancy a sneaky 1-0 to Saints with Mane nicking the goal.

Batman Posted 21 August, 2015 Author Share Posted 21 August, 2015 Koeman presser we need more games we have to develop as a team and get rid of the mistakes 2nd half on thursday was good we have a strong squad, just unlucky with injuries at the mo no updates on new signings watford play good football, I know their manager a little they will be very organised it will be a tough game for us, they are very confident you need time to integrate new players, that is normal this is a very tough league no bid from spurs (for vic) he is not for sale will take time for clasie to be fit we hope he and ryan will be in the side after the international break different preparation for league games we used to have all week to prepare for our league games, now we do not no real time to prepare for league games and little recovery time we analyse watford but they have so many new players, small margins win games Romeu had a good game on thursday. he still needs to improve he will grow with victor in that position. I hope it does not take too long, sure it wont, they are good players Their goal on thursday he and victor were both out of position. more learning requried Sadio has said he wants to stay there is no bid from united, he knows, the club knows, his agent knows, but you have to respond to rumours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayrivers Posted 21 August, 2015 Share Posted 21 August, 2015 I think there is a chance we could be more like Everton this year, but hopefully we'll be challenging top 8-10. That doesn't make us a bad team, and I think Everton will be as strong this year as we were last year. If we want to try and kick on, then we need to start playing in Europe, and that will take time to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
