Re: Liam Cooper

1773815249453355501 Has barely kicked a ball since January 1st You could tell. Good servant. Absolutely finished at this level. Should not be starting games ahead of Cresswell. I'm hoping Farke finally realises, an alternative solution is required, as was the case starting with Ayling in the early ...

I reckon you are right, Gruev is so tidy & goes about his work with considerable ease.

My annoyance levels will raise again if he does, I blew a fuse far too many times in the first-half :oops:

Gray played in midfield for much of the second-half.

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Post Match Discussion

Firpo played on Wednesday morning in South America. Arrived without sleep yesterday. Rutter nine days after surgery. Cooper started for Scotland two days ago. Two times within three days for 90 minutes. Not one session together as a team. We had six players available during the break for training. ...

Spot on Marie :tup: let's get back to clean sheets again.

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Post Match Discussion

I actually think Ampadu has forgotten how to play midfield and is a better centre half....he has Bobby Moore type qualities. You could be right 60s, it all seemed normal again once he was paired with Rodon, I haven't seen Joe so frustrated this season as he showed tonight. Ampadu played regularly a...

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Post Match Discussion

I thought Cooper stayed off Dennis. He knew he had cover directly him. Allowed him time to pick his spot. Kamara was disappointing and lacked physicality all night. James got a lot of the ball but did very little with it. All three were poor, although Kamara didn't have the steady influence of his ...

Invited pressure onto a much changed defence and midfield.

Was a decent point in the end, we could easily have stolen a victory, Kev.

Jaydog wrote: Fri Mar 29, 2024 10:34 pm At least Farke learnt something tonight. He won’t be breaking the Ampadu/Rodon partnership again this season. Not a chance.
If he does, expect the play-offs.

He couldn’t give a full debut to Crew without any training.
Farke found a formation after 64 minutes, which seem to work.

We need Gruev back, he would have retained possession more efficiently had he been on the pitch tonight.

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Match Thread

As you know I think Willy is maybe the classiest player at the club ... always going to be a big miss. I do think James and Byram would get better if they start but atm Firpo is better than Byram and Gnonto much better than James quality wise Huge James fan though Firpo played well when he came on.

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Post Match Discussion

How many Watford players have had the past 2 weeks off. In training prepping for just this game. Farke said he had 7 players on Monday. I think that was the big difference in the 1st half. We had a few changes and no time for them to really train together. Those internationals could disrupt our sea...

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Post Match Discussion

There was no obvious answer in midfield other than moving Ampadu there. Which brings in Cooper. We know he's not going with Cresswell. Other option to move Gray into midfield adds more issues. Shackleton hasn't played right back in a long time. If Roberts had been fit then we'd have options. With R...

Lots on here want Ampadu as DM (I’d rather have Gruev atm) tonight wasn’t the night to put him back there after his gruelling Wales games.
I know that Finn, but that doesn't mean we break up the best CB pair we've all witnessed in 2024.

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Post Match Discussion

Watford hadn't won at home since November, however the hornets tore us to shreds in the first half with their pace & slick passing, we allowed them to run through us without putting in a tackle.

Re: Watford v Leeds Utd Post Match Discussion

Why the sentimentality, starting Cooper.

Two of our defensive positions at the back & in the middle of the park caused mayhem.

I just knew breaking up the Ampadu/Rodon combination would disrupt our rhythm.
