one game at a time, next one being the most important. let’s do this
This is gonna be a tough one. Read somewhere that Watford have won a lot of possession in the final third with their pressing, which seems to be a problem with us right now. .
Well if that's the case we should put Auba up top and play some long balls over their back line. Or maybe we will end up just passing right through them if we're having a good day. Either way I think we'll win.
Best in the pl on that so far.. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Kabasele is Watford's best centreback and as things stand, he's suspended for this game. They're appealing it and it could be overturned because of double jeopardy, but if it isn't we really have no excuses and should be putting this game to bed.
Hopefully Emery doesn't play Ramsey in the #10 role, especially since there is no reason to appease him with the recent contract renewal decision.

I said a couple of weeks ago that Ramsey will be off soon so we should be planning without him, that also means not playing him. After yesterdays confirmation we should definitely be leaving him at home or on the bench. We have Iwobi & Mhki and can look to replace Ramsey next summer. I've always liked Ramsey but not at the expense of Özil playing wide and Iwobi/Mhki missing out.
Yep, at the very least bench him. I'm not saying drop him to the reserves necessarily, if we have injuries, or need to rotate or substitute someone, he is still a very good option to have. He just shouldn't be on the spotlight and we should have other players adapting to our system. Let's see what Emery does.
I'm pleased we've removed our offer. As I say, I like Ramsey but any player who drags their heels like this over a contract should be removed from our plans. I was one of the few who wanted to get shot of Alexis in the summer because there is no use keeping a player who is not focused on being a part of the team. He stayed and I was proved right!
I wasn't afraid of selling him either, this team has survived losing Fabregas, the player our entire footballing structure was built around at the time ffs. But to be honest a lot of this is hindsight, Sanchez had been decidedly average since last summer, it could very well have been that he would've turned his form around (before or after leaving.) City retracted their offers and we happily took Mhkitaryan because the Chilean lad was finished, experienced eyes could see that even though it's hard to be sure.
City were willing to pay us £60m in the summer before he left us, anyway, its all history now. Onwards and upwards, without Ramsey!
Please no Xhaka then!
